    The electric sockets were pulled off the wall. The location of the room was just right near the walkway. Felt like the staff were on the window from the outside talking loudly.

    The breakfast was basic but worked.

    Not like a proper hotel, but a convenient guest house. The fittings in the room and bathroom were just passable. Not the cleanest. Please be careful of the steps on the floor at ground floor.

    Very good natured manager and staff. Very helpful. Location near the town centre and availability of transports. Convenient for tours and hiking. Breakfast in morning was good. Good view of Mt Kilimanjaro range, but not mostly seen due to fog or clouds. Value for money.

    Moshi city centre is accessible, however be prepared for a little walk or a Tuktuk ride.

    Zack was an excellent host who was very friendly, accommodating and helped to organise excursions. During our visit the accomodation was quiet and relaxing. the breakfast each morning was delicious, s was the dinner option. Had it not been cloudy, the view of Kilimanjaro would have been spectacular.

    Staff super kind and helpful. the view is very good. If you're going to Kilimanjaro, you can easily left some of your clothes and unnecessary things there. Good to have the option to have dinner there.

    Very lovely staff and the best chicken curry in Moshi! The have a cute cat that is very vocal. They will also assist you with organizing all sorts of day trips. The water in the shower was cold and they did not have a generator while we were there - yet. They were organising one while we were there, but during our stay the power cuts in the city affected us in the hotel too (no possibility to charge our phones..)

    Perhaps the hotel needs a little updating, but for the money, you can't go wrong.

    This is a budget hotel, which is great value for money. The staff, Nick, Zak and all are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble from collecting from the airport, to some unforgettable trips. A one day hike up kilimanjaro and a waterfall walk with coffee roasting and making. Zak took us to the market and a local bar. All amazing. The food is basic but lovely. Breakfast omelette and pancakes are delicious.

    A well located property that is good value for money. However, staff issues need addressing.

    Here’s your review with corrections for grammar, spelling, and phrasing: Despite the positive aspects of the property (well-located, relatively clean, and good value for money), there was one major drawback that put a damper on the whole experience: Zach, the house manager/host. Concerns were first raised when he called a tuk-tuk for us and said we should give the driver 10,000 for a 3-5 minute journey. Then there was the dinner, which he charged 20,000 for. There were numerous other issues. The most notable, though, was when we asked to have our clothes washed, and he said it was 2,000 per item. However, when the lady returned with our clothes (after washing), she told us it was only 1,000 per item. I don’t want to sound picky—we have stayed in many places cheaper and simpler than this, and they have never done this to us. However, throughout the experience, we felt like we were staying in Zach’s house rather than a hotel. He would often be sleeping in the common areas, walk into our room unannounced, and frequently listen in on our conversations. In conclusion, I would recommend this place, as it is very well-located and good value, but I do think management needs to address the concerns mentioned above.

    The property was nice, well located and relatively clean. For the price it is good value.

    It is a dilapidated building with broken showers, mosquito nets that do not cover the bed, there was only one member of staff and the place was not clean and no internet access. The breakfast was measly and finally the pictures on the website do not match the hotel.

    Checking out of the hotel even though there was a 5%surcharge as this had not been mentioned at all
