Oasis of calm with minor blemishes)
Pros:

Karibu Afrika Home is the perfect place to completely unwind and relax. The owner, Peter, and his team are incredibly nice, and the entire atmosphere is deeply laid-back – true "Pole Pole," as they say here in Tanzania. Everything is very cool and easygoing.
Located in a very peaceful neighborhood, it is the ideal spot to prepare before hiking Mount Kilimanjaro or to wind down after returning. A special shoutout goes to Winnie, who manages the house. She is the calm center of the place, always incredibly kind, attentive, and the true soul of the house. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cons:

Unfortunately, there were a few minor technical and maintenance issues that affected the stay. The internet was quite unstable, disconnected frequently, and kept switching back and forth – the technology used here might need an upgrade. There are also a few small maintenance jobs around the house that need attention: the door lock should be properly tightened, a few doors desperately need some oil, and the sink needs to be fixed so the water drains properly.
Even if it happens to be the low season right now, it would be great if the rooftop terrace were kept a bit more inviting. Perhaps by adding a small note like: "Hey guys, if you need cushions, you can find them here." All in all, the stay was okay, and the value for money was almost alright.

Pros:

The estate in Moshi, is calm and huge. Very clean and good value for money.
When waking up before 6am,you can see the Kilimanjaro.

Cons:

The unstable WiFi connection. Sometimes I didn't have WiFi at all, which is a bit troublesome when solo travelling. Other than that, everything was great

Pros:

Cozy place✨
Very clean place, our room was big enough for two persons with condition and own bathroom.
You can go upstairs and enjoy Kilimanjaro. We didn’t saw it, because it was cloudy. But I saw beautiful lizards here.
Breakfast was perfect (omelette, fruits, pancakes and toasts with peanut butter/jam and good coffee).
I really like traditional paintings and figures in the interior.
They have big dog, but don’t worry, he is really kind and affectionate.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Lovely stay and a perfect choice for a first-time solo female traveller in Moshi. I felt safe and comfortable throughout. The two ladies looking after the villa were absolutely lovely and always happy to help. Peter was also very helpful. Would happily stay here again!

Pros:

Die ruhige Lage etwas außerhalb ist gut für die Nacht, weil man besser schlafen kann.
Ich durfte auch meine Sachen dort lassen während ich am Kilimanjaro war, was sehr toll war.
Frühstück ist auch sehr lecker und am Tag meiner frühen Abreise wurde mir sogar eine Box mit Früchten mitgegeben.

Cons:

WLAN gibt es nur in einem zentralen Bereich und sogar dort ist es recht unzuverlässig.
Der Hahn vom Nachbar weckt einen - ob man will oder nicht - um 5 Uhr auf.
Auf dem Grundstück ist zudem ein Hund dem man nicht trauen kann. Meinen Guide für den Kilimanjaro hat er am Tag meiner Abholung gebissen und das kam anscheinend schon einmal vor.
Die Lage außerhalb macht es leider auch schwer dort hin zu kommen, man ist schon auf Transport angewiesen.

A beautiful place with a lovely atmosphere! In Moshi
Pros:

🌿 Everything is green, well-maintained, and the garden is absolutely gorgeous. There are two apartments, and each one has a lovely central area with a comfortable living room and sitting area. The rooms are beautiful, stylish, and very pleasant, and each has a balcony.

The breakfast was great, and the WiFi worked well in the central area. Overall, a really lovely place — highly recommended! ✨

Pros:

Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt, das Zimmer gross und sauber, das Bett bequem und auch die Gemeinschaftsräume sehr gemütlich. Wir können Karibu Africa Home unbedingt empfehlen.
Es ist sehr ruhig da in einer Nebenstraße.

Cons:

Etwas schwer zu finden und gibt 2 grosse Hunde. Das ist allerdings nicht für jeden ein Problem.

Schöne Unterkunft mit Garten und Hund, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren groß und das Bett bequem. Wir haben im Gartenhaus geschlafen. Es war ruhig. Das Frühstück war lecker und ausreichend. In der Nähe gab es schöne Cafés. Der große Hund Meru hat uns besonders gefallen. Der Wäscheservice war prima. Wir haben die Kaffeetour mit Wasserfall gebucht. Ein tolles Erlebnis. Wenn auch sehr rutschig. Der Vortrag um Kaffee war super. Auf die anschließende Verkaufsveranstaltung hätten wir allerdings gerne verzichtet. Wir würden wieder kommen.

Cons:

Man kann mit Karte zahlen. Es werden aber 5% Gebühren fällig, was uns vorher nicht gesagt wurde.
