This hotel is pretty special!! Karim, the owner is a great person and he made this place super chill and cosy, with great vibes. The rooms are great, and it's fun to have an outdoor bathroom with cats visiting and trying to get attention. Honestly it's a very unique place and you have to come and stay there! Karim ordered food for us when we arrived (late) the first night, it was amazing. And then the breakfasts were so yummy, as well as the dinner we had here the 2nd night. We were feeling so good there, we only visited Moshi town for 4h and decided to come back in this little peaceful and restful oasis where we felt so great. It was exactly what we needed before our Kilimanjaro climb.

I booked when I see Adventures hostel. And it’s one of the best adventures I can live in Tanzania. Cosmos was the best person I meet in Tanzania. I make me feel confortable, he saw me the best hidden place in Moshi and Arusha. I also booked a Safari with him for a good price and the organisation was perfect! Thank you so much Irene and Cosmos to give me the a real experience of Tanzania.

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.
