Rafiki Backpackers & Guesthouse Hotel

Nice staff but a bit noisy from the restaraunt nearby.

Rafiki backpackers is a great place to stay! Whether you are going on safari, hiking kilimanjaro or just visiting Moshi for a few days. The staff is great. Breakfast is included and a nice start to the day. The rooftop terrace has amazing views of Kili!

I loved this place! They had a free breakfast and it was so cheap. The owner was so sweet she hooked us up for some tours to Lake Chala (highly recommend) and helped us find buses to Arusha. I also made some cool friends and it was a short walk to the city centre (be careful walking at night as this is not advised). Highly recommend.

Nice Backpackers — but Wi-Fi doesent work — you have to plan everything before ;)

Because I liked and found this place on internet and it's reviews got me going here. The Google location was perfect. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. I would have loved to stay more with my friends but we had to keep moving. Anyone looking for a backpackers place in Moshi. This is your perfect place to look out for. And on good weather you can have the view of mount Kilimanjaro.

Nice place, cheap dorms 8$, a view on the Kilimanjaro from the common room or the mini terrasse. 30min by foot from town. I stayed two weeks there. Free breakfast, 2 toasts, 2 eggs, half a banana.

Is very nice and fuul of lovely garden tress so it has very nice atmosphere.

Just a great place! One of the best places I stayed in Tanzania!

Great place to stay in Moshi. Nice clean rooms, beautiful kitchen and rooftop eith view of Kilimanjaro. We planned to stay only one night before Kili but when returned we enjoyed two more nights.

Great hostel in Moshi! I spend one night there before my trekking to Kilimanjaro. I did book a single ensuite room which was absolutely stunning, I couldn’t expect more. Everything new and well preserved, toilet and shower were perfect, and very very very clean. Comfy double bed… and nice views to Kilimanjaro from my room :) Only bad point is that was next to the common area, and if people is talking outside loud, you can here everything. Nice and kind staff as well. They did pick me up from bus station, offered me a corn (delicious! ) on the way to the hostel. They kept my luggage safe as well while I was away. There is a nice restaurant next to, with delicious food, a bit pricey though. Very recommended!

Very good and clean place with ok breakfast and a nice view of Kilimanjaro!

We are so glad we have discovered this fantastic place to stay in Moshi. The hostel is located in a quiet area a bit out of town (but in walking distance! ) with a nice local restaurant right next to it. The extremely friendly and welcoming staff as well as the cosy and relaxing atmosphere makes you immediately feel at home. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. But our absolutely favourite place was the roof top terrace with views of Kilimanjaro. It is the perfect spot for relaxing and fun evenings after an eventful day. Together with „Viva Africa Tours“ Rafiki offers a great service where you can book lots of different trips to discover the area. There is so much to see around there. You can book tours spontaneously at the hostel or also in advance. We did even book our whole trip through Tanzania with them. It was excellent! We are happy to highly recommend Rafiki to everyone visiting Moshi and the Kilimanjaro area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay here and will definitely come back to visit again. Asante sana for everything!

Good food and very cheap clean accomodation.

Great place, staff and location. Delicious breakfast and super cleaned rooms and bathrooms. Very nice cafe right outside of it. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. Cool rooftop terrace as a Kili viewpoint!

Great place to stay, great ambience, helpful staff.

Cosy and safe – awarded “Best Hostel in Tanzania 2015 & 2016” (Hostelworld) – that’s Rafiki Backpackers & Guesthouse. The name rafiki means friend in Ki-Swahili and as such you shall feel from arrival to departure and beyond (if you wish! ).

Its a cool place and I can get a fabilous view of mount kilimanjaro as if am on the peak of the mountain. You should be here while in moshi. Welcome.

The place to be very nice hostel… In fact the best.

Nice little place. No AC, but they have fans.

After careful consideration and not much thought I decided I should probably write a good review.
These guys are great! They provide an awesome dual service with viva Africa which works out really useful when trying to recover from climbing kili.
I do personally recommend lake Chala it was absolutely stunning and a great way to tick off another East African country without having to pay for a visa :)

Enjoyed the staff, atmosphere, and location of this hostel. Alfred and Stephanie were kind hosts along with their professional staff and made the guests feel at home. The hosts went beyond the required to ensure guests were set up to head to and from the airport and for excursions to town. The location is in a quaint area outside of downtown Moshi, which offer some restaurants to enjoy local fare and culture.
