The property attracts an eclectic grouping of travelers who are warm and friendly. The property also has a lovely first-floor verandah with a bar and lounge that is shaded by trees and a great place to meet other travelers. Lovely views of Mt Kilimanjaro from the verandah.

Great value small hotel with character.

Daudi and his staff are doing their very best despite lack of tourists due to travel restrictions in other countries. Rooms are more than adequate with comfortable beds,fans,hot water shower etc. Bfast is fine. Other meals are good too but please expect to wait an hour as everything is cooked to order.

Enjoyable Stay Pre-Kilimanjaro

I really enjoyed my stay. This is a discount B&B with good service and spacious rooms. If you haven't been to Moshi yet, this hotel is slightly out of the town center. I would urge you to avoid the town center - it is really noisy and the air isn't good. On hot Tanzanian days, these things matter. The Secret Garden is adjacent to an open field and it is quiet. Also, the owner Daudi is an interesting person - ask him to tell you the story of this property - it's quite interesting!

I enjoyed the staff service at this pleasant hotel near the center of Moshi. This is a very nice small hotel with a mixture of experienced tourists and backpackers. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, so I strongly recommend adding the board aspect of your reservation.

Not as advertised. Stay somewhere else

Rooms were tiny. Couldn’t swing a cat. Staff were friendly but not helpful. No juice for breakfast as advertised and no milk on the first day. Milk took 1 hr the next day. Tour prices organised through hotel were ridiculously priced but that was common for all ‘mzunga’ just organised local bus/tuk tuk for 1/3 of price. Other people we met were also disappointed. Wifi doesn’t work Bathroom shower over toilet , overflowed into room. Bathroom door handle fell off in front of staff and he just shrugged. Holes and cracks in toilet seat. overall very disappointing, didn’t expect much but was thoroughly let down

Wonderful relaxing hotel.

Had a lovely relaxing 6 night stay after trek up the mountain. Rustic and quirky hotel in a quiet location, a short ride to the town centre. Nice views of Kilimanjaro Staff were fantastic and very welcoming. Double room basic but very comfortable. Lovely roof top restaurant and a wonderful garden to relax in. Superb restaurant food and a great breakfast. All at good prices. Good choice of day trips, again at reasonable prices. Had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.

Super flinkt og hjælpsomt personale

Grundet nogle tekniske problemer blev vi ombooket til en af ejerens andre hoteller (lå ca 5 minutters gang væk) men de var super flinke og meget opsat på at gøre vores ophold godt så det gjorde ikke rigtig noget. (de gav os gratis aftensmad, kørte os frem og tilbage om aftenen og ville nok have kørt os mere rundt hvis vi havde bedt om det) Prisen var ret god i forhold til hvad vi fik. vi havde lidt bøvl med toilettet og sengen var lidt blød og formede lidt for meget efter vores kroppe så der om morgenen var huller der hvor vi lå. vi var jo godt nok ikke på Secret Garden, men fik at vide at standarden for det værelse vi fik i erstatning var den samme.
