    For us no problem, but location is outside Moshi city area and there is nothing interesting outside hotel walls. No A/C, only fan.

    Quiet at night, very nice pool area and friendly staff. Good restaurant and breakfast. Staff was there when needed, but also let us spend time in peace. Possibility to store luggage during Kilimanjaro hike.

    Not too far from airport, able to see Kilimanjaro, staff friendly and helpful when I had issue with my bag not arriving with me at airport. Owners there when staying and very pleasant and helpful. Would stay there again

    Try put a signboard on the roads to direct new visitors.

    Beatiful place. Quiet and away from the noisy highway. The staff are friendly and helpful. Would definately stay there again.

    The parking situation will need to be worked out as it's quite tight. Otherwise I really have no complaints

    Love love this hidden treasure in Moshi. The rooms are spotless, the food is delicious and the pool a welcome bonus. The staff were fantastic...Aggie and her team took excellent care of me and my friends. They graciously accommodated our requests and made us feel very much at home.

    A bit far from the Moshi town centre but the location of this hotel is ok to join tours as the operators will usually pick you up from the hotel.

    Staff was brilliant and super helpful with everything.

    Lovely place to relax and sit poolside, with good food and bar

    I will caveat this by saying that it was outside of the control of the staff, but there was a neighbour next door playing (mostly dreary or rap) music nonstop on some days; as in, they would play the same song on repeat for several hours at a time. One evening this went until about 1 am so we ended up using our earplugs to sleep.

    This is a lovely little spot, outside of Moshi Town but relatively peaceful and with views of Kilimanjaro from the pool. The wifi worked well most of the time, and the service from staff was excellent as we were there during a quiet week. The breakfast and food on offer at the restaurant was good. The staff were really helpful in organising tuk tuks into town and a driver to take us to the waterfall for a reasonable price. We enjoyed being able to relax by the pool in the sun before starting our Kilimanjaro trek!

    A/C is the missing ingredient here - otherwise, a great value place to stay.

    Agnes at reception was very friendly and helpful with all requests. Great to have a pool and a nice quiet neighbourhood - 5 min tuk-tuk into centre of Moshi, also some bars on the main road you can wonder up to. Food was very good.

    Could use an AC because the rooms were hot even with the fan but I didn’t mind that much Also be mindful that there is open space between the toilet door and the ceiling which makes going the bathroom uncomfortable when sharing a room

    We stayed there to rest after a long haul flight and before a Safari VERY clean and confortable room Nice pool area with beautiful view of the Kilimanjaro Helpful staff at all times, very welcoming Good breakfast, we also had dinner twice and it was good Cute dog hanging around

    I had a great view to the Mt. Kilimanjaro from my room at this sunny day. Very friendly staff! The pool was super clean like the the rest of the hotel too. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and to sit at the bar is amazing! All together a very, very nice hotel with a high standard for a good price. Very recommended!
