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.

Very nice place to stay, good ambiance. Staff is super friendly. I like that they care about the environment and use trash to build new stuff. Everything is very clean.

The host is an amazing human being. Really helpful and willing to help as much as he can while knowing when it’s time to give space to his guest. Like he said, he’s like a DJ who try to be as flexible and adaptive as possible. The accommodation is linked to an NGO that has beautiful projects ongoing. And if you want to experience Moshi and its surroundings like a local and with the local price, Cosmos will be here to make it possible. Unbelievable experience!

I stayed at Hostel Kiliwood for two nights with two friends, and we had an amazing experience! The host is wondeful—she took care of every detail to make sure our stay was perfect and treated us with a delicious homemade breakfast each morning. She also arranged a fantastic day trip to the Materuni Waterfalls, which made our time in Moshi even more special.

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.
