Hostels in Moshi

The breakfast was amazing! We tried their traditional Swahili dinner as well, which was equally good. The staff were very hospitable. We liked it so much that we extended our stay at Villa Rosa. The owner Rose herself came and spoke to us personally during our stay. The day beds are just the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long day of adventure.

EVERYTHING was awesome! The staff, however, were truly exceptional. Thadey, the manager, went more than the extra mile to ensure that my stay was comfortable and memorable. Ghynwine, the owner, also checked in regularly to ensure all was good. Stanley persevered in teaching me some Swahili. And so I can continue to speak only good things of everyone. (Thanks guys, I miss you stacks.) My private room had all the amenities I could wish for - aircon was a life saver. There is no need to book tours in advance, as the hostel helped arrange everything I wanted to do (safari, coffee plantation, hot springs, etc.), as well as a super reliable airport shuttle via Mo Taxi Service picking me up from JRO airport at an ungodly hour (ask for Prince). Do try all the local delicacies (chipsi mayai, pilau, etc.) offered on the hostel menu, at super reasonable prices. The hostel is in Soweto suburb and about a 40 min walk from Moshi centre, but it's super easy to get a motorbike taxi or tuk-tuk into town (1400-2000 Tz shilling). Also, be sure to ask Thadey for advice in getting a local phone SIM, as some agencies in town may rip you off! A SIM plus data, straight from Vodafone, should not cost more than 21,000 shilling (Apr '25). I can whole-heartedly recommend this hostel, you don't need to look further for a place to stay in Moshi

The host is an amazing human being. Really helpful and willing to help as much as he can while knowing when it’s time to give space to his guest. Like he said, he’s like a DJ who try to be as flexible and adaptive as possible. The accommodation is linked to an NGO that has beautiful projects ongoing. And if you want to experience Moshi and its surroundings like a local and with the local price, Cosmos will be here to make it possible. Unbelievable experience!

Very good value for money. Good location, nice and helpful staff.

Great staff. Nice room. Great breakfasts. Nice local bar outside gate. Bar with Pool and pork joint 5 mins walk away.

The staff were super friendly, making every effort to make you feel at home. Brenda, Mwajuma, Wity and the rest of the staff always were smiling and happy to see me. They are great cooks and the food and drinks are very cheap prices. Location is perfect for exploring Moshi and they even looked after my stuff while I did Kilimanjaro and safari. Thank you for everything.

This hostel is amazing. Gladys and her staff is so friendly and professional. The hostel location is central, which is super handy. The private room is much calmer than outside, that was great to relax. On top of that, there is also : - A good breakfast - Strong Wi-Fi - A laundry service (only 15.000 Tzs) - A tour agency on the hotel first floor, who can give you amazing recommendations and propose a wide range of activities. Ask for Abdul, he is super nice and welcoming. Value for money is unbeatable!

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!
