Janibichi Adventures hostel, hotel in Moshi

Set in Moshi, 41 km from Mount Kilimanjaro, Janibichi Adventures hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar.

Cosmos was the best host anyone could ask for. He was probably the kindest and most genuine man I met on my travels. He catered to everything I wanted to do and see. Plus he made a delicious breakfast for me every morning. The hostel/house was located a bit further from town which was nice and quiet, just a cheap tuk tuk ride away from the city center. It's not like a normal hostel but was everything you needed and was safe and comfortable. Cosmos was basically my private tour guide of Moshi, spent the whole day with me site seeing and even holding my hand when I was struggling through some hiking in the mountains, true angel of a human. Would recommend him to anyone who is interested in anything to do with Mt. Kilimanjaro or the area surrounding.

We Travel Hostel, hotel in Moshi

Offering a barbecue and views of the city, We Travel Hostel is located in Moshi, 100 metres from Main Market Moshi (Soko la Kati). Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

Dinner was excellent and at a fair cost compared to other places I had eaten. The painted door made it easy to find, though the buzzer was a bit of a search so I could be let in. All beds in my room had mosquito nets. Wifi was strong.

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.

    环境很安静不在闹市区,房主很热心,出去的时候会问你是否知道打车的价格怕你被宰;我英语不好,离开的时候房主怕我找不到车子帮我联系了tutu车送到我车票的店家那里,不需要去汽车站等车,非常的贴心。

    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.

    We were a group of 18 people coming. We were taken care of very well. The staff helped us when one of the girls got her phone stolen downtown, but staff steeped in and made sure we were safe. John, our guide, was amazing. Great humor, likeable and very friendly. One of the guests had her birthday at the hostel and staff helped organizing cake, candles and amazing breakfast! We also had some last minute changes and Rahim assisted us all the way through. We are 100% coming back!

    Because I happened to be the only guest there and it was low season, I was lucky to receive a room upgrade from a dorm room to a private room with no extra charges. Although it did feel lonely at times as there were no other guests to interact with. The room was clean. I like that the hostel also offers a tour to the hot spring and waterfall areas at a much cheaper rate compared to other tour offices in Moshi (p.s they're a rip off). And they have a cute paka (cat in Swahili) named Cutie.

    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.

    Great location -near public transport, on a calm street (we felt safe and were not disturbed by unwanted Rafikis) . Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a nice common place to hang out. Facilities are little old, however vibes are really good. Ask for a room with balcony if option is available. Great experience for budget travel.
