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 !

I chose the place based on ease of access to the venue for the Kili Marathon. It worked perfectly as one could run to the stadium. The breakfast spread is generous and has variety. The proprietor Welly is an excellent host. She goes over and above to be of help to clients. Highly recommended.

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 nice stay here. We loved their building project and had a really good time in the common areas. John is always there to help with anything you need and his breakfasts are terrific. We met awesome people in here and had peaceful and joyful moments together. Not far away from downtonw but far from busy streets so it's the perfect spot. You'll love it! Thank you for everything guys! Keep up that hard work you're doing :)

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.
