This hotel is pretty special!! Karim, the owner is a great person and he made this place super chill and cosy, with great vibes. The rooms are great, and it's fun to have an outdoor bathroom with cats visiting and trying to get attention. Honestly it's a very unique place and you have to come and stay there! Karim ordered food for us when we arrived (late) the first night, it was amazing. And then the breakfasts were so yummy, as well as the dinner we had here the 2nd night. We were feeling so good there, we only visited Moshi town for 4h and decided to come back in this little peaceful and restful oasis where we felt so great. It was exactly what we needed before our Kilimanjaro climb.

This hostel makes you feel at home immediately. It’s basically a garden with a fireplace, a comfy coffee corner and a bar. The bungalows are made of all national materials, dinner is yummy and breakfast just lovely. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

All was fine.

Beautiful reception and comfortable rooms with delicious breakfast!!

Not a great water heater

Really comfortable stay with incredibly friendly staff! Good location - quiet at night and walking distance to centre of Moshi. Everyone working at the property made sure I felt safe and included at all times, and looked after my luggage when I’d checked out and wanted to do a day trip. Warm showers, mosquito nets and a really nice breakfast. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Moshi.

The staff was very unfriendly and I did not feel safe. The bed were also a little too short

The boss Karin is really helpful for evry kind of problem! conception of the hotel is TOP!!! difficelt to find better😉

nice little garden, beautiful place to chill and meet people! cold beers, music, activities like cooking class or playing volleyball. the staff is very kind and helpfull. there was an internet problem but gave us hotspot, when we needed :) we had a beautiful bungalow, bathroom behind the room, outdoor. breakfast very delicious!

no internet

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.

Style, concept, confortable, gardens, breakfast, specially the coffe. The owner and the staff super friendly and nice. Awesome place 100% recomendable

Karim and John took great care of us. thank you gents! great clean massive room best breakfasts in our 2m of travelling east africa nightly fire social atmosphere and great conversations relaxed vibe comfortable communal areas with day beds in the shade to chill or take a nap assistance ordering food delivery strong water pressure and hot water

breakfast is really good location close to the city center staff available, helpful and friendly bungalow well decorated the place is really comfortable

A bit hidden but reading previous comments we didn’t struggle to find it. a bit too close from a main road which we can hear the sound of the cars

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!

There is nothing we didn't like. Keep going on like that! :)

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 :)

Low cost accommodation, couples room is nice & spacious. Hostel is 5-10 minute tuk tuk to Moshi. Staff were friendly & welcoming.

The neighbour has a lot of chickens so be prepared for Roosters crowing at 4am. The shower is cool/temperate with low flow - not hot. This was disappointing after climbing Kili & looking forward to a hot shower. Don't do laundry through the hostel, their price is extortionate & we managed to get it for 1/8th of the price in the town. Also, the location is difficult to find, not having a sign out the front. All that was written was "the backyard" in very small letters by the gate. During our stay, the hostel was undergoing an extension so there were also works going on next door to our room.

Very nice place in Moshi,5min from city center in tuc tuc. Really beautiful garden and atmosphere. The owner Karin makes the difference,very energetic and funny person 😊,that gave us good recommendations. Bungalows very nice⭐ and amazing outdoor shower. Good value for money and great experience!!! And on top of that,great breakfast with incredible Tanzanian coffee and beachvolley court to play!

Everything was good!

wonderful stay at the backyard hostel! a lot of things are made with reuse material, that is remarkable. furthermore, Karim and John are so lovely! we spent such a good time with them, showing us the local tradition. this hostel is the perfect place to enjoy a Tanzanian time. it’s THE PLACE TO BE in moshi!! Asante Sana for everything

Looks beautiful, very nice staff

The bungalows are super nice and we liked the concept that they are building them with all recycled and local material (the project is still in progress). The staff is great, breakfast super tasty and the common area is perfect to chill and very well decorated.

The place is close to the road so it is a bit noisy sometimes. Also during the night there were dogs barking and running around our room.

extremely nice owners cold beer African tv fascinating project

Nice garden, living room (no shoes inside), hot shower, the host helped us with everything and got us a shuttle to the airport

a bit loud because of the street behind the garden, but directly in the city center it’s for sure not quiet either

A dream for the soul!! This place is magical and located in paradise! 1. The location is very central. 2. The outdoor area is breathtaking and invites you to get together. 3. The rooms + beds are extremely comfortable and clean. 4. The breakfast is more than adequate and lovingly prepared. The coffee is terrific. 5. Employees + owner are absolutely courteous and fulfill all wishes! The best hostel we have ever visited! We will be back soon!

Karim the owner is a fantastic person, and he makes the best coffee and breakfast! Also the location is very good!
