Perfectly situated in a real calm area - dinner and breakfast (even if you are leaving really early) are delicious and homemade. Rooms very cozy and clean. Outstanding personal and fair prices for the drive to the airport. Furthermore a really comfortable terrace with swing beds; good to chill and exchange your travel experience with the other guests

Karim and his team are simply the best! They made everything possible for us, whether flexible check-in and out times, spontaneous excursions or food requests. The accommodation is also super located and there is love in every detail of the facility. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there and can definitely recommend. We look forward to coming back sometime!

Staying at Janibichi Hostel was truly an amazing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was at home. Cosmas and the whole team are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always makes sure that every guest feels comfortable and cared for. Cosmas has such a pure and kind heart, and his energy really sets the tone for the whole place. The hostel itself has a great vibe—clean, cozy, and full of warmth. The breakfast was a real highlight: big, delicious, and prepared with love. Cosmas also shares wonderful stories and gives great advice about the area, which makes the experience even richer. I couldn’t recommend this place enough—it’s not just a hostel, it’s a home away from home. I've found new friends in that place and will forever stay in my heart. I'll be back !

Superb hostel . Very clean. Good breakfast. They pick me up from bus stop and take me to money exchange place. The ladies at hostel even help my brother do the laundry. They are so nice and helpful. Our flight is very early in the morning. They get up early and prepare breakfast for us around 4AM. This is definitely the best hostel I’ve ever been.

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.

Very friendly staff, I could get the room before 10 am, what meant a lot to me, traveling one day and night. Hostel is most centraly located and very clean. This B&B is great value for the money.😊

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.
