I had an amazing stay! The host was incredibly helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The place is clean, comfortable, and very relaxing.

We had a small issue with our Booking reservation, but we were lucky to meet Deo, the manager, who handled everything with great kindness and professionalism. The hostel is spotless, with spacious rooms and bathrooms, hot water, and a delicious breakfast included. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Deo was especially helpful — we had so many interesting and pleasant conversations with him. I highly recommend this place 100%!

Very helpful and patient staff, we had a lot of questions about tours before and after arriving. They arranged wonderful tours for us, safari, balloon ride and trekking to Kilimanjaro. We were picked up at the airport when we arrived. They helped us with bus tickets to Dar es Salaam and to get to the busstasjon. The food in the restaurant is very good.

All hostels in Moshi

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The breakfast was amazing. Cosmas cooked for us each morning and he was an amazing host. I would definitely recommend staying here. Cosmas is very accommodating and can help you with anything you need. He looked after our bags while we climbed kili. We wish we could have stayed longer here ! He is one of the best hostel hosts out there !

Breakfast was great, lots of different options. Wilema always made sure the hostel was clean, worked around the clock, organized and also sprayed every night for mosquitos. It was in great location for going to Materuni to see the waterfall. There was hot shower water. Opportunity for volunteering, very nice front yard and house.

I had an amazing time at Backyard Hostel Moshi. Extremely kind local staff that will help you out anytime and give you valuable tips. Delicious local foods for breakfast and for dinner. Very welcoming atmosphere and common area in the beautiful garden. I felt comfortable and safe in my room as a solo traveler. I really enjoyed the good vibes and local authentic feeling and am very grateful for my time there. Also the options for trips around Moshi to Kili, Hot springs, waterfalls etc. are amazing.
