Diana, Jack and Team made our stay unforgettable. I have never experienced such great hospitality. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. The hostel was very clean and the food was amazing as well. Will definitely come back if we get a chance. 😊

The hostel was lovely and clean with spotless white sheets, duvets (which are washed between guests) and very spacious single beds. It's the perfect place to set up a base camp to explore Moshi with restaurant and laundry services on site. To make our stay even better, the owner G and all the other staff were incredibly helpful as G gave us all the options to visit Materuni and Chemka via tuk tuk, private hire and public transport with prices and organized a guide for us to take with us via public transport and lead our hike. He also set us up with a trusted tuk tuk driver to take us to the hot springs so we could swim in peace while he watched our bags so we could continue straight on to Arusha without stress over thieves with our check in luggage. Overall they went above and beyond to make our stay low cost, relaxing and all together pleasant. Would absolutely come back again and would highly highly recommend.

We had such a nice stay at this accommodation and I would definitely recommend it! The rooms are very cozy, the food is so good and the team is just amazing. The hostel is not directly in the city but it’s a calm and friendly neighbourhood and the drive to the city (about 12min) is cheap and it’s very good to reach. Cosmas (the owner) is such a kind and heartwarming person and tried everything to make sure we felt comfortable and like home. He was like our personal tour guide and showed us everything - villages, local food, the city, beautiful nature places and organised some trips like a Safari. Truly the best hostel experience I’ve ever had, this is so much more than just a place where you sleep. It felt like home and is an experience we will never forget, thank you Rafiki! If you want to really have a local experience in Tanzania - local food, the culture and people, beautiful nature, the language - this is the place to be!

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.
