Guest Houses in Moshi

Maria France

The place feels like a home: the staff is extremely friendly, it's easy to host friends, the food is very tasty and the owner is just a WhatsApp text away. We stayed there for 2 nights before our Kilimanjaro hike, and the night after. Highly highly recommend for a group of friends or solo travel!

We had an outstanding stay at Shimbwe all made possible by the owner Victor, a beautiful lodge set with a stunning view at the foot of Kilimanjaro set into a local farm and fully integrated into the local community. We first arrived late on Easter Saturday through an ill-recommended google maps route taking us through the almost impassable river route after some very heavy rains meaning we were as good as trapped in the mud, one of the local men seeing out troubles knew we must be headed to his brother, Victor's, guest house. He called him and Victor trecked 2km though thick mud to come and drive us in our car to the lodge in the way only a local can. From here he welcomed us in late and made sure the chef could cook us some (delicious, local) food even at 11pm and proceeded to introduce us to the area and get a proper introduction to Tanzanian culture free from typical touristic tropes. We had initally only hoped to stay the night and drive on, but with the tough driving conditons and on the offer to cook and eat Easter lunch with his family we stayed on longer. Here we were totally welcomed to the local kitchen, prepared food with and enjoyed the radianty company of both his family and the local community, having guided hikes around the serene rainforest setting we had found ourselves, all organised by Victor with a beaming smile and endless good humour. He took us to local community centres, organised a party to celebrate Easter the Tanzanian way to end, and it was with with heavy hearts when we decided to leave to find Victor had had our car's tired cleaned of the mud and again driven us down the still very wet mountian he sent us on our way with great memories and an obvious highlight to our adventure. I have never been better hosted anywhere in my life, if the stunning setting, and delicious local food at incredibly cheap rates do not convince you, I would recommend to come to Shimbwe for the people alone.

A beatiful oasis I didn't expect! I was there last August and I was solo traveling. The place is marvelous! The common spaces are one of their strenghts: perfect to chill and relax. Food was delicious and big quantity, but if I had to choose just one thing, it should be the staff: always smiling and helpful. If I'm coming back to Moshi, for sure I'll come again to this cozy place, so I recommend you to do the same!
