We were there in the dry season, and though the garden is beautiful and very well tended, as well as full of bird life, unfortunately it also seems to attract a lot of mosquitoes. There is no AC in the rooms which is not a probem at night as there are fans, but it can get a bit hot if you're not in reach of a fan. The place is fairly pricy but staying here supports the mission of the school.

Great little hotel in a very green and luscious old villa a bit outside the center of Moshi. There is a hospitality school on site and a very servicable vegetarian restaurant, also run mostly by the pupils (girls) of the school. The pupils are boarding in a seperate building on the site. If you are lucky there are views of mount Kili from the terrace / restaurant. Apparently the property used to be an orphanage, but it does not show. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. There is a generator for when the power goes out. It's easy to grab a bajaj to the center, if you walk 1 minute from the entrance.

The Service was great and very friendly. The food was also delicious and everything was vegetarian. There was nothing what we ve missed in our room (towels, soap, etc.). I really recommend it!!

This place is amazing. The food is outstanding and so is the staff. I stayed here multiple times. I had a last minute change of plans the second time I stayed here which meant I never got to stay the night. Even though I used the shower and room they refused to charge me for a night.

The restaurant was fantastic! We had an amazing dinner, everything was very very tasty. Even the French fries were sublime. The staff is very friendly and the room very confortable. It's also very noble their mission by providing education to girls in Moshi.

Lack of AC

Very very friendly staff and a beautiful vision for the place. The interior design was wonderful.

Great Place! Friendly and helpful staff, perfect breakfast and supporting a good cause with your stay makes this the place to be in Moschi. PS: The pictures don‘t own up to the reality!

The only thing I didn't like was, that they didn't provide a bottle of water inside the room. And, the one they sold was overpriced and a returnable glass bottle of only one litre, so you cannot take it away with yourself. There was a shop just 5 mins walk away, so I bought a huge bottle for less than half the price from there.

Probably, my best hotel stay so far... what a beautiful paradise like place! Felt like I was in heaven!! The staff are sweet, place is clean and the surroundings are just impeccable. I stayed only a night after my Kili trek and I was in tears when it came to leaving. I really really wish I had a longer stay.

We really appreciated that they offered laundry service at a very reasonable price. We also liked that they had a restaurant right inside the hotel with a variety of food. Wifi was strong in the center of the hotel (but not so much in our rooms.) They also were accommodating with our early departure time.

Staff was very friendly! Food was great - vegetarian and vegan options with vegetables and herbs from their own garden. Also home to an awesome NGO - see the other reviews. Very beautiful garden - highly recommend!

Birds and chickens very early in the morning. Not the best sound to wake up to

Amazing stay! First stop in mainland Tanzania and was just spectacular. Mille took care of all of our needs, cars, trips even my husband's dairy free birthday cake. Food was vegan/vegetarian and delicious at a fair price. Wifi worked great. Had a generator so that even when the power went out it came back on almost immediately.

Third time staying at this wonderful place. Everyone is very friendly, the rooms are cozy, clean and authentically decorated. The daily breakfast is always very delicious and fresh. The dinner menu consists of some amazing vegetarian dishes. It is always a pleasure to stay here. Special thanks to Neema, Millie and Martha.

The night guard caused some confusion and did not speak English, and so having a receptionist for late booked check ins would really help.

Excellent and attentive staff, relaxing environment and a really high standard of care. Amazing food, especially the Swahili heritage food. Ideal for female travellers and those working whilst travelling.

The staff is so helpful and the food is absolutely delicious

If you’re a light sleeper, earplugs might be helpful to block the noise from the generator and the neighbours at night.

It was a serene, peaceful garden with a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very kind, particularly Millie, Neema, and Jackie. The food was also tasty. The non-profit side of the place is also fantastic.

Great little place! The rooms are simple yet comfortable, nothing to envy of the bigger resorts in the area. The program is an amazing initiative in the area!

Unfortunately, the power cut off and it broke two of my appliances, which I brought from abroad and that is quite expensive and nothing was done about it. They also lost one of my pieces of clothing and once again nothing was done for it.

I liked the site and the garden. It is a very beautiful hotel. Nice place of learning for young adults wanting to work in the industry. The food is also good.

Everyone was very sweet, but there were communication issues. Remember that this is a training program for young women who are going to be working in the hospitality industry. We had a very early morning flight and when the taxi came, the guard was nowhere to be seen so we were locked in for a while until we could find somebody to track him down to unlock the gate. They wanted to make us a full breakfast which is very sweet, but they were 15 minutes late with it so we had to leave right when it was ready so that we didn't miss our flight! I think having a way to communicate with one of the teachers/managers in charge in case of emergency would be helpful. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Beautiful spot with friendly service and good food. The restaurant menu is extensive, with lots of vegan options and the coffee was excellent. The room was beautiful, as was the whole property, and everybody we interacted with was very sweet!

There was a party during whole night nearby.

The garden, the dining and the staff. We stayed in a room located in a smaller building sharing garden with the main (the old house) one. The room was big, with nice bed and a large bathroom.

We love that the hotel is also a school for girls to be trained in hospitality and tourism. What an impact this place has!

The walk to centre is a little longer than i expected but not far really. 15-20mins. If you don’t like walking, then find something more central. I happily recommend this location though.

Staff are excellent! Well done to them!!! Worthwhile to have dinner there too! Kitamu sana! :-)
