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.

Cosmos was the best host anyone could ask for. He was probably the kindest and most genuine man I met on my travels. He catered to everything I wanted to do and see. Plus he made a delicious breakfast for me every morning. The hostel/house was located a bit further from town which was nice and quiet, just a cheap tuk tuk ride away from the city center. It's not like a normal hostel but was everything you needed and was safe and comfortable. Cosmos was basically my private tour guide of Moshi, spent the whole day with me site seeing and even holding my hand when I was struggling through some hiking in the mountains, true angel of a human. Would recommend him to anyone who is interested in anything to do with Mt. Kilimanjaro or the area surrounding.

This was one of the best places Ive stayed in Africa, and the best in Tanzania. It is very chill, with a quite garden where I did yoga, with lovely Welima who cooks great and can help you with anything. I literally didn't eat out much cos the food here was delicious and affordable. The place is few kilometres away from the center thus it is very quite here, no bustling and all. And if you need to go there a private bajaji will cost like 2000-3000 tz and if you catch a public one it's 700 which is like less than a dollar. We came here with fellow volounteer I met in Arusha and had a great time and ended up extending for like a week, I didn't want to leave! Thank you for your hospitality and hopefully see you one day again when I come back to climb Kilimanjaro!

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!

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.
