I felt the whole time really welcomed. The room was comfortable, the food was really good and the staff is amazing. Shimbwe Guest House helped me to organise my Kilimandscharo hike and it was perfect 👌. I'm looking forward to come back.

Beautiful, quiet location with magnificent views of Kilimanjaro. The staff are exceptional - knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We were told we arrived as guests and left as family and that is exactly what it felt like. Beautiful walk to the waterfall and a visit to the hot springs. Transfers were arranged. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. The food is exceptional. Exactly the right sized portions, varied and delicious. The room was clean and spacious and set amongst the banana plantations, and beautiful trees and vegetation. Justin provided loads of interesting information on our guided walk. The entire team were just exceptional, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Victor, Honest, Justin and the rest of the crew of Shimbwe Meadows Guest House were fantastic. My brother and I came here to explore the area around Kilimanjaro and we were not disappointed. Everything worked fine from the Airport Pickup till our tours we have booked (Hot Springs, Materuni Waterfalls and Mandara Huts). Also the Guest House was amazing. Its a simple accomodation but filled with love and hospitality. The food was good, the roof terrasse amazing for sunsets (with a bitof luck yu can see the Shy lady - Mt Kilimanjaro) and the bonfire in the evening was a dream....we really enjoyed our 3 nights there and can definitely recommend it. Well done dear Shimbwe Meadows Guest House Team...keep up your good attitude...loved it. BTW: For internet lovers - WLAN is not all the time available, especially when electricity is gone, but I didn't miss the Internet all.

Beautiful stay nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. There is lots to do around whether you opt for the tours the property is offering or just going for a walk on your own (we did that). The room was large and clean. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro were beautiful.

This is a truly delightful guest house in the chagga gardens on the base of Kilimanjaro. The staff are super friendly and Victor is an inspiring person both in his ambition for the village and for the guest house that he has built up in very difficult times. We learnt so much from him about the local The view from our room and the two balconies look out towards mount Kilimanjaro. It is super clean, the shower is good and the food is nice and accommodates vegetarians. The local area seems very safe and good for walking or mountain biking. We had the nicest day out at the chemka springs with the family and, though we are an older English couple, we felt so welcome and looked after. The guest house can organise safari tours and visits to the local sites.

The location is stunning if you'd like to enjoy some peace and quiet. It was also much cooler at this altitude, which was a lovely break from the safari heat. My single room was large with a comfortable bed and a lovely view of kilimanjaro from the windows that lined two walls. There were a number of tours and activities offered by the guesthouse. I particularly recommend Materuni Waterfall as it is so close to the property and can be done entirely on foot. The included breakfast was generous (fruit, eggs, toast, pancake, smoothie), delicious, and served on a stunning balcony with an unparalled view of Kili.. Lunch and dinner were not included but were very tasty.

The location is remote, but well worth the bumpy ride to get there. Food was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a trek with Justin to the waterfall and did the coffee tour, which was brilliant, Justin was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge. Had a great view of Kilimanjaro and Meru mountain.
