I wish I had found this little gem earlier. I actually stayed here twice about one week apart. The two experiences were worlds apart and it had NOTHING to do with the property but with impolite rude selfish guests. The quiet and tranquility the second stay was exactly what I wanted. After a grueling 8 day Kili trek I was exhausted. All I wanted was a shower, bed, and sleep. My room was clean, nicely appointed and spacious enough for me. It is easy to see someone cares a lot about this place with all the nice details evident everywhere: international outlets, toiletries, overhead bed fan etc. The breakfast was ample and filling. I simply wanted to rest my weary body. Unfortunately, the common areas are a bit snug but really that is not the issue. The dining area consist of one single large round table that sits about 10 persons. A bit snug. There are swings which are quite close and three swinging mattresses - a treat indeed. It is a nice lounge area albeit snug. The issue is when other guests behave as if this property is a HOSTEL when it is not. It is a hotel. Such individuals which are usually young and rude and want to talk loudly and “party” are the ones to ruin this lovely property. Common areas are meant to be enjoyed by all guests act respectfully and behave properly. I highly recommend this hotel.

Willi the host here is the best! The place is very clean and chill. Comfy beds with everything you need in the room/bathroom. The host is a excellent cook and very accommodating and helpful for whatever you need when you’re there. It’s a very short ride to town and it’s nice that it’s surrounded by nature. This is the best place to stay in Moshi!

We had a comfortable stay, the staff (Helen and Hosana) were really lovely and made sure we were looked after. The breakfast was good and abundant with fruits! We met Deo, a very nice guy who made sure our stay was worth it, He updated or messaged us from time to time for our needs before our stay and gave us a ride to the airport for a very fair price. The place is peaceful, easy to locate and nearby with other restaurants. you can even book tours from them. Made our stay to Moshi very worth it

Considering the price and location (near by Kilimandjaro and Arusha national parks), the hostel is good value for money and with a delicious cooker that will prepare you good home made meals (veggie options) after a long hike.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
