We arrived in Moshi after 10 days in safari. We found Kindoroko Hotel in Lonely Planet, but we wanted the cheaper accomodation, so they recommended to go to Kilimanjaro Backpackers. This hostel is not far from Kindoroko Hotel and much more cheaper. The bed was the best after sleeping in the tent for 10 nights :) The double room was... More

Lonely Planet can be a curse! Arriving in Moshi (from Tanga by bus) I had my sights set on Haria Hotel. Why? Because in my 2012 edition it quoted "worlds better than the more well-known and more expensive Kilimanjaro Backpackers". In fact KB does not even get a listing. So imagine my horror on arriving at HH to discover they... More

We stayed at the Kilimanjaro Backpackers looking for a cheap accommodation. Not an easy task in Moshi. But this place, on the main road in trekking distance from the bus station, is at the lower end of the price scale. We got a double room with a king size bed and a shared bathroom. Everything was clean, with intact mosquito... More

I arrived quite late but was given a room which was very small but fine for the price. The bed was comfortable enough and the net was fine. The communal toilet and shower was clean and there was plenty of hot water. Liked the bar with the view over the street.

Small, dirty room. Even the mosquito net was dirty and the way the net is hung from the ceiling makes it impossible to sleep without touching it. The toilets were difficult to flush and neither my husband nor I took a shower in the uninviting shower stall. Front desk staff was friendly.

Everything was dirty, the bed/sheets, the bednet, the floor, the walls, everything. The room was so amall it only fit a single bed with my suitcase next to it, the fan did not work. While having no actual windows is common in budget places, this place barely had nets to keep out the mosquitos. The common toilets were barely functional.... More

the place is on the road and so noisy, the room are small and dirty, fan is not working... The single room is 12 $ wich i think is not a good deal, no funny place and bad service

Out of the 6 criteria to rate in this review, I'm only able to pass judgment on one: service. It was absolutely terrible. Upon arriving, our party of 8 found they'd double booked our rooms, which we'd booked a week previously, as the people in them had asked if they could have them for another night and, because the record...

I was booked in for 7 nights at the Kili backpackers. This had been booked on my behalf by the organisation where I was undertaking voluntary work - this organisation has used the Backpackers before so is well-known to them so they knew it was a definite booking. When I arrived there in the evening, they hadn't kept my room.... More
