Excellent value and family friendliness, highly recommended

The family were very friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was warm and inviting making us feel at home. Our possessions were secure and the home is very central to moshi town. Shared lounge, watching some news and football was welcome and the breakfast was made with care and love.. try the chai marsala. Highly recommended and would return if visiting again

Nice homestay within a convenient location

I had a wonderful time at Faraja Homestay in Moshi town, I especially enjoyed the convenient location of the homestay as it was walking distance to the bus stop and within the town centre. The host's warm welcome and delicious recipes, especially banana bread, chapati, chicken and pineapple coconut sauce made our stay all the more enjoyable. She was also helpful in giving us information about Moshi and places to visit while there including guiding us on transport options. The rooms were standard but spacious ( stayed in a twin bedroom ) clean and comfortable with the necessary amenities (towels, linen, WiFi and toiletries). Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Nice stay, very recommendable.

This is a homestay as it should be. We were hosted by the family who was very helpful and showed us the way to where we needed to go. Mrs. Faraja also gave us lots of tips on Tanzanian food and drinks - she prepared the best chapati and ginger tea we have ever had. A great breakfast! We felt very comfortable there and this host family is recommendable.

Sweet homestay in Moshi

The hosts were wonderful and our room large and clean; there was also a small courtyard and the locaton was good for experienced the town and local lifestyle. We wanted to experience staying with locals. Unfortunatly I became ill during the trip and was pretty sick during the 2 days we stahyed so didn't get as much as I intended. Breakfast was nice and they made me ginger tea to help with illness.

THANK YOU Esuvat and Faraja for such a nice stay at your place! We enjoyed every minute.

THANK YOU Esuvat and Faraja for such a nice stay at your place! We enjoyed every minute. PEOPLE: The family is extremely nice. It was a real pleasure to stay at locals' place and have some cultural exchange. FOOD: The breakfast was very nice and we also "booked" dinner cooked by Esuvat (for 6$ each) and it was delicious. PLACE: the apartment has everything you need and the family keeps it perfectly clean. There is a nice and calm terrace in the inner courtyard. Beds are comfortable. The bedroom is on the street side and can be loud, but we were tired and slept like babies.

We had a pleasant stay at this homestay in Moshi. The accommodation is basic but had everything we needed for our 2-night stay. The couple hosting us were very kind and welcoming. For an extra fee, they offered delicious homemade meals and even laundry services. They also provided helpful tips on transportation to Dar es Salaam, which made our travel much easier. Although we had a midnight bus, the host kindly offered us a room to rest in for a fee. Overall, I would recommend this place if you’re looking for a simple, no-frills stay in the Moshi center.
