Hotel berhampiran Eco-Africa Climbing, Moshi

As part of Soraka’s Tour package, I was required to stayed at Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel. Unfortunately, this hotel had dirty sheets, and a headboard with old and peeling material that constantly flaked onto the bed. Also, upon my arrival there was no hot running water. After more than 18 hours of travel, it was a major inconvenience to not be able to shower after a long day of travel. I tried to reach the owners of Soraka Tours, as I was in need of immediate assistance, but I did not receive an answer until the next morning. This was surprising, as one of the owners actually live in Moshi. Additionally, the hotel did not have internet service, so it was very difficult to communicate with love ones to let them know that I arrived safely. Later, I was told by Soraka Tours that this was one of the better hotels in Tanzania. I have stayed at several Tanzania hotels in the past, and know that this is not true, and that there are plenty of great hotels in Moshi that have hot running water, and do not require their customers to sleep on dirty sheets. Please see the attached pictures. I immediately asked to be moved to a new room, but was not allowed to do so until the next morning, as they claimed not to have any available rooms. Unfortunately, I had a sleepless night as I had to sleep on a chair for the entire night. I learned the next day that the hotel was actually half empty as it was off-season for tourists. This is not the service that I expected from Soraka Tours. There are more experienced and established tour companies that have a proven track record, as it pertains to service and offer much better accommodations to their clients. My advice - Soraka’s commitment and promise to giving clients the best experience was not provided and my overall experience, including the accommodations, was horrible.

It was our first night in Africa after traveling for over 18 hours and we were delighted to stay overnight in the comfortable and clean rooms at Panama Garden Resort in Moshi. We were in our own little bungalow building. The shower and room facilities were good. The small bar area was perfect for a quick drink and dinner. Breakfast offered a variety and each of us were able to find something we liked. It wasn't a busy time and service was prompt.

During my two-night stay at Moshi Kibo Hotel, I found the outside noise and heat tolerable. Although breakfast was amazing, I suggest serving colder milk for cereals. The room and bathroom were very clean, and the staff were nice. Overall, I recommend this hotel for visitors planning trips to Mount Kilimanjaro and Chemka Hotspring. Moshi Kibo Hotel is a safe place, especially for solo travelers, as there is a security guard on site.

I recently stayed at Secret Garden in Moshi, Tanzania, and it was perfect for my Kilimanjaro trek. The staff was helpful and friendly and made me feel right at home. Rooms have a private bathroom and grounds were very clean. The breakfast was robust for a b&b and the coffee was amazing!!!!!! Reliable power and internet so I was able to get work done from my room and prepped for my remaining travels hassle-free.All in all a cozy and budget-friendly spot in Moshi, this B&B is where it's at, no doubt!
