I stayed for one week. Overall it wasn't too bad, but I am not a difficult person to please. More picky customers would probably not be too happy with the service. The Positives: - The Room was a decent size, had great water pressure and a very effective hot water heater. - Bed was quite comfortable and had extra pillows - area is quiet and peaceful setting - the food was quite delish - only a short boda or tuktuk ride into town Negatives: - the power goes out often - no AC in rooms (does have fan though) - no screens on windows...so when the power goes out and you have no fan, you can't even open the windows at night cause you'll get eaten alive by mosquitoes...so you just sit in a hot ass room with no air movement. - staff were friendly but seemed very unmotivated. Had to wave someone down every single time I needed a refill of my drink, or anything like that. - in 7 days, my room was not cleaned once. I am sure they would have if I asked, but normally this is something that is automatically done.

We stayed in total for 2 nights here and enjoyed every minute of it - we really had a great time here with our guests, the rooms were clean and nice decorated and also the breakfast was very delicious! The staff was very friendly and also the location is nice for discovering Moshi-Town!

The place is quite with good atmosphere. The staff was really nice and responsible. It was a bit far from city center, but you can find Piki piki at the closest road. The place can arrange any trip you want to do- day trip, kilimanjaro and maro mountain

I was using the facilities to present a Wilderness First Responder training course for Kilimanjaro guides. During the 10 days I was presenting the course, I also use their accommodation. I can't fault them. The staff is amazing and always helpful and friendly. They always said yes to every requestI made. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and really enjoyed my stay there.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was also really good and the outside space is well done with a good vibe.. Unfortunately that was the extent of the good review. I'd made this booking almost two months prior and even ensured that I personally followed up with a phone call and e-mail. Only to arrive there on the check-in date and they hadn't reserved any rooms for us. They tried to say that I had cancelled the booking but luckily I had the booking confirmation with me and all e-mail communication. In the end, they gave us the two last remaining rooms which were in *dismal* state! Broken windows, holes in the ceiling and walls, huge cracks in the doors, leaking toilets, etc. We didn't have much of a choice but to stay there as all accommodation in Moshi was fully booked due to the Kilimanjaro marathon and we also had a really early morning as marathon participants. I also suspect that they bumped us (Kenyans) off to accommodate some European tourists. The hygiene levels were also poor. White towels with dirty stains and brown streaks, really old mouldy pillows. How hard is it to bleach white towels and regularly update pillows? It was the **most disappointing stay ever** especially considering how early we had made the booking and that I'd read so many positive reviews on TripAdvisor about it.

Bathrooms terrible, shower wets the toilet and rest of the small bathroom, toilet seat was broken, and there's no mirror. They kept on forgetting to turn on the boiler in the evening, so we had cold showers. Paint is coming off the walls. The garden is full of construction stuff. Bad service from personal. Try to sell you a Bajaji ride for double the normal price. Water is sold for 2000 TSH for 1L. Only positive thing was that the cook was willing to make breakfast at 6am. Good to know that you can only pay with cash and most of the time they do not have change if you want to buy a drink.

Ich habe einen ganzen Monat im Better Inn verbracht und hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit da. Mein Zimmer war klein, aber fein, das Bett gemütlich, das Essen lecker, frisch und ausreichend. Das Zimmer wurde alle 2 - 3 Tage gereinigt inkl. Bett frisch beziehen und Mückenspray versprühen. Hätte ich gewollt, wären auch meine Wäsche und meine Schuhe gewaschen worden. Der Ventilator war abends ein Segen für frische Luft vor dem Schlafen, für mein Empfinden war er nicht zu laut. Im Falle eines Stromausfalles wurde der Generator eingeschaltet, sodass man weder auf Licht noch auf Wlan verzichten musste. Wlan-Empfang war in beiden Bereichen (Schlafen, Außenbereich) gut, Steckdosen gibt es auch in allen Bereichen, sodass man vor Ort auch arbeiten könnte. Ausflüge (z. B. Kaffee und Wasserfall, Safari oder Massai-Dorf) kann man direkt über das Hotel buchen. Auch wenn ich mit dem Bajaji irgendwo hinfahren wollte, hat mir das Personal eins organisiert. Das Viertel ist ein Stück vom Zentrum entfernt, aber zu Fuß ist man in 20 - 30 Minuten da, ansonsten gibt es überall Bajaji oder Bodaboda (Motorräder) als Taxi. In der Umgebung gibt es einige kleinere und größere Supermärkte sowie den Stadtteilmarkt und viele kleinere und größere Grillküchen, sodass man nicht immer im Hotel essen muss. Wenn doch: Das Essen im Hotel war sehr lecker und sehr großzügig bemessen 😋 Für mich war auch der naheliegende, aber fast brachliegende Flugplatz ein toller Ausflugsort, hier hat man in den Morgen- und Abendstunden einen tollen, unverstellten Blick auf den Kilimandscharo, außerdem tummeln sich hier viele Vögel. Den Sonnenauf- und -untergang habe ich mir sehr gern von der Dachterrasse angeschaut. Der größte Pluspunkt aber geht an die Mitarbeiter. Sei es der Boss oder Manager, der Koch oder Service oder das Housekeeping: Alle haben sich sehr gut um mich gekümmert, waren sehr nett und freundlich und haben sich umgehend um Probleme oder Wünsche gekümmert. Ich komme sehr gerne wieder ☀️
