    Beautiful views of Kilimanjaro in a quiet and comfortable location. The staff were incredible, Gabriel, Erica, and the other staff always went above and beyond. They took us into town when we needed an ATM, cleaned my shoes after a muddy hike, and prepared breakfast really early when we had a morning flight. Everything about the stay was perfect.

    An excellent choice for staying in Moshi! Clear views of Kilimanjaro from the top floor and very nice, comfortable rooms. The property owner, Gabriel was very helpful and attentive in making sure my stay was an enjoyable one. The food and restaurant service was very good. Exceptional value for money here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to others and would stay here again on a return trip to Moshi.

    The rooms got quite hot despite the ceiling fan. The power supply in the area went off quite frequently although there was a generator on .site. finally the beds were quite firm .

    We had only intended to stay one night but liked it so much that we based ourselved here for our whole trip We immediately felt comfortable and at home The owner was very welcoming and helpful, taking time to show us around the area. The garden area is a great area to relax between trips it also feels very quiet and safe

    The lighting in my room could have been better - apparently there was missing bulb. It would be good to facilitate card payments on site through a PDQ machine rather than having to go to the ATM to withdraw and very unfavourable rates.

    First, the hospitality was top notch, I couldn't have asked for more. Gabriel was friendly from the very start, to the end, and even helped my friend to find someone to fix his motorbike. Farida attended to us well too throughout our stay. They were flexible enough to change my room as I requested them and we were constantly in touch via WhatsApp and they were able to advice in all matters even when there was an attempted credit card theft.

    The electric sockets were in a slightly awkward position above the bed headboard. There were a few power outages & losses of the internet.

    The manager, Gabriel, & his staff were friendly & very helpful. Gabriel arranged for me to join another party on a great day trip & also organised a taxi for me when pre-arranged pick up didn't show up. The lodge looks amazing & there is also a very spacious dining area & bar. My room was very clean & comfortable.

    Location is a bit awkward for getting into Moshi town, it is a bit far to walk and hard to get taxi, owner will provide taxi but it is $10 a go when tuk-tuk is $2-3 (easy to get tuk-tuk back from Moshi but difficult to get one in). Price of tours were more expensive than some other options but they was reliable and on time which is also very important!

    Staff quite friendly, garden area is very relaxing and view of Kilimanjaro (on clear day). Owner provided tours at short notice

    Gorgeous little hotel that seemed like a little oasis in Moshi. Perfect stay for before/after our Kilimanjaro trek. Luggage storage was greatly appreciated for the week we were gone. Super clean, such lovely staff, hot showers, great restaurant area for sitting/relaxing and great meals. Comfy beds with good mosquito nets. Would highly recommend.

    I loved the calm and cozy atmosphere that invited you to relax and enjoy. From airport transfers to helping us organize an incredible day hike at Mount Kilimanjaro - Gabriel‘s hospitality was absolutely amazing. He made us feel welcome and at home from the very first minute. Additionally, the food was delicious and the view of Kilimanjaro from your room is breathtaking.

    Best place to recover after 6 days treking

    A new place located in a very quiet rural area a few kilometers from Moshi, the perfect hotel to recover after 6 days trekking Kilimanjaro. Lots of laundry (clothes, shoes and even my backpack), all taking care in a few hours. Gabriel the owner, together with Patricia and the team are all very friendly. Probably the best place I have stayed since the beginning of my trip in Africa 6 weeks ago. If you are unlucky to find the place fully booked, come at least for a drink in the garden and a meal, for sure the best in town !
