From the moment you step through the door, this place feels like home—a truly unique and heartwarming experience. The host goes above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and making everything feel effortless. Whether it’s organizing tours, sharing insider tips for the best local restaurants, or ensuring every detail of your stay is perfect, their care and dedication shine through. The breakfast here is simply outstanding—easily the best I’ve ever had and worth highlighting on its own. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro while relaxing on the rooftop. Every moment spent here is a delight, and it’s the kind of place that keeps calling you back. I can’t wait to return!

It’s a comfortable property with a nice garden. All rooms are decorated beautifully and with lots of love. You can enjoy a view of Mount Kilimanjaro from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast is superb and staff all are super friendly and helpful. You immediately feel at home here. Moreover, I like the social / community projects which this hostel supports.

The water in the shower took a bit long to get hot.

Kiwavi Home is paradise. The grounds are immaculate and lush. There are multiple outdoor and indoor lounge areas. The breakfast is plentiful and utterly delicious. And all the staff are so incredibly welcoming and friendly. It is secure and safe. Altogether, Kiwavi home feels like…home. We stayed for 2 nights prior to climbing Kilimanjaro. I had to come off the mountain early, but I was actually delighted to, because it meant I could spend more time at Kiwavi Home! It is the sort of place you want to spend time enjoying. The vibe and facilities and people are welcoming and comforting.

Because it is in a residential area, it is not safe to walk alone at night, and apps like Bolt and Uber don’t work in Moshi. You can, however, hire a bajaji (tuktuk) very inexpensively, and Simba (the owner of Kiwavi) will help you do this.

We immediately felt welcomed and at home at Kiwavi Home. Our family room was super spacious and comfortable. Loved the vintage feel of the bathroom and dressing! The breakfast was scrumptious and different every morning. The outside lounge areas at super cosy and we really enjoyed discussing with Joy about the social work she and Simba conduct in the villages neighbouring Moshi. We will definitely come back!

Kiwavi home is after just a night a real home. The managers and the staff are the best and make everything so that you enjoy and make the most out of your stay. I felt like I was part of a family. I stayed there on and off during my stay in Tanzania (visiting in between Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar) and it was alway a pleasure to come back to this place. I specially enjoyed the terrace with the view on the nice garden, sitting there to read or to take time to organize my trip.

Very nice place to stay, the rooms are clean and comfortable, it has a nice and big garden and rooftop with a nice view of the Kilimanjaro :) Nice breakfast with different kind of food every day 😋 Clean kitchen and drinking water available. It was also the only place we were in Tanzania that separates the waste 🌍

Best thing about here, you support a project that helps families in difficult conditions around Moshi (running by kiwavi home). Besides that our stay here was just amazing. Simba and the other staff are so warm and welcoming. Not to forget about the lovely animals here. It’s very quiet and still just a view minutes drive to the city center. We would always come back again.

Kiwavi Home is one of the best places I’ve stayed in East Africa. The breakfast prepared by Jackie — the happiest, nicest person I’ve met in Tanzania! — in the mornings is gourmet! Truly the best breakfast I have had anywhere I have stayed, many fruits, avocado, eggs, chapati or pancakes, coffee, tea, porridge … whatever your heart desires I’m sure you can find it in this incredible breakfast spread. I am backpacking and Kiwavi Home offers rooms priced within a backpacker budget. Simba is the manager of the place, and is a really kind and helpful person, he can organize cars and trips to the different sights to see in and around Moshi, and he can help advise you on how to do it yourself if your budget is limited and you prefer dala dala. Stay at Kiwavi Home. You will truly be at home here.

Awesome manager and fairly close to most supermarkets etc. 40 min walk or less. Friendly dog and cat on premise. Tortoise too. John (interim manager) has interesting world views and it was fun chatting with him. They also helped me book tuktuk for my round trip from and to eating places.

New shower heads and a generator can be very helpful
