At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. Every room comes with a safety deposit box and some rooms are equipped with garden views. At Kiwavi Home each room is equipped with bed linen and towels.

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.

    The homestay is located in a quiet location just outside Moshi. Tuktuks can be used as an inexpensive way to get around and are readily available. The accommodation was excellent super comfy bed, lovely lounge area and beautiful garden. Breakfast was amazing and varied daily. The host was the most friendly I've ever met in all my years of travel. His motivation is to make every traveller's experience memorable and stress free. Can't recommend this place enough.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. It's located in a clean, quiet, suburban area of Moshi. There are a number of restaurants nearby. It's only a 7 minute Bajaj ride into town (3000 TZS). Walter is a great host. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We had a lovely cooked breakfast prepared for us every day and the entire place is spotlessly clean. If you're looking for somewhere outside the craziness of Moshi, we'd definitely recommend staying here!

    Peter is a great host, he is always keen to help and offers to show us around. E.g he helped us getting a SIM card, a bajaj and helped with the bustimes. We felt very safe and the place felt like home! On top of that there is an amazing kili view from the front garden, the rooms and sanitary are very hygienic and the breakfast is so good. The bedroom was very big and the mattress was comfortable.

    Lovely ambiance in a quiet neighborhood at walking distance (20min) from the centre. Try to book the cottage, good value for money! Host has good connections to organize trips and transfers. Breakfast is ok, they also own a good restaurant at the border of the city with views on the Kilimanjaro 💛

    Property had everything you need. Room was clean, comfortable with en-suite and toiletries provided. Breakfast was exceptional and personally prepared by Far. Far is a great host and can arrange anything for you: taxis, tours, services and local facilities. A little out of town but in a quiet area and only a short ride to anywhere. Wi-Fi was via hot spot due to some current problems with internet provider. Thank you Far for a great stay and for welcoming us to your family village. A very special experience.

    Virtually unlimited coffee.Hearty mixed breakfast. Simba,the host,made me feel supremely welcome,assisted me with helpful phonecalls after my tour initially let me down.Found comfortable nearby accomodation for me when his was booked out and found a cheap reliable taxi for my sudden departure. Location is walkable distance to the town while providing a quiet retreat away from it at the same time.Really enjoyed my stay here.
