Seriously GREAT hostel (but seriously LOUD bar)

The hostel itself is seriously cool. Multiple and spacious common areas, both internal and external (great views!), nicely decorated, ideal for relaxing and meeting fellow travelers. Staff members (beyond the young owners) do not speak English but are very efficient and excel at making themselves understood regardless - BIG UP in particular to Josephina (aka Mama-Baraka) who warmly welcomed me upon arrival showing me around the hostel and checking me in, and kindly assisted with onward transport arrangement at checkout.

A comfortable and friendly hostel

We booked Hidden Valley Backpackers for a break in a busy holiday schedule and it proved perfect. The neighbourhood was quiet, not too far a walk from Iringa centre and the staff were friendly and helpful. The on-site bar and pool room was a great place to hang out in the evening and it served a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It was also a great base from which to explore local sights such as the rock paintings at Igeleke and the stone pillars at Isimila. Highly recommended and great value for money.

Fantastic. A must for people traveling to Iringa

Everything was absolutely excellent from the welcoming staff to the location over looking Iringa with a beautiful space to sit on overhanging nets and drink a few beers. Bathroom and bedrooms were spacious and comfy. Very nice bar located on premises with a pool table. The owner is wonderful. Could not recommend this place enough and for such a reasonable price

Very welcoming and comfortable stay

The hostel has a beautiful location with amazing view. We very much enjoyed the Terrasse, which is spacious and comfortable. Eric the host was fantastic and helped organize a safari trip and bus for us - again thank you so much for your time. Restaurants are in walking distance and we felt very welcome. Breakfast is self serve but well equipped with pans, toaster and coffee machines. Simple breakfast with eggs, toast and yoghurt. We had the single room which had comfortable beds and room to move
