A basic hostel, not expensive and very friendly people, willing to help and flexible about mealtimes. I have visited twice and some of the staff have been the same. Welcomed the quiet residential area and the regular minibus service into Moshi town centre.

We used this hostel as a base before the Kilimanjaro climb and then before the safari. The staff really friendly. The rooms small, but comfortable. We had one with fan and ensuite. I don`t like AC, and fan was enough anyway. The breakfast is excellent. A nice chill-out place.

The room was filthy, from the dirt on the walls to the slime in the bathroom, from the bugs in the "wardrobe" to the nasty, nasty sheet over the mattress that I care not to remember that I slept on. Yuck. Not to mention the A/C broke, on, so we actually froze since there was no real bedding to speak... More

On a quite spontanious stop in Moshi, making our way to Arusha, we chose to stay at Twiga Home. We had about 2 nights in mind and ended up staying for 5. Twiga home and Moshi is really an amazing place. Not only do you have Mount Kilimanjaro as your view everywhere you go, but the house has a brilliant... More

We found Twiga Home to be one of the best hostels we stayd in while travelling in Tanzania. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and spoke very good English (which is good if you haven't learned your Kiswahili yet). We especially appreciated the free shuttle service even at our late hour of arrival. The hostel itself was clean and... More
