Kibo Palace Hotel Moshi

I had dinner at the hotel and I did not realize that the waitress made a mistake and charged my credit card in US dollars instead of 33.990 TZ shillings. An hour later, the waitress knocked my door and told me about the mistake and that they would reverse the transaction in the morning. It took the hotel 2 days to sort that out with their bank (NMB Bank). I spent about US$500 on international phone calls with my bank in SA so that they undersand the problem and help me solve it. After a long struggle, I got my money back after 25 days. I am writing this to alert tourists who visit Tz. Please look at the credit card machine to ensure that the correct currency is being charged before pressing the buttons. Scrutinize the receipts that you get and keep them until you get home. Regardless of the nerve-racking experience that I had, I would like to thank the Kibo Palace Hotel administration and staff for their honesy (admitting the error) and for the great efforts they put forth to ensure thae reversal of the reve money as they had no experience with this issue before. Everybody at the hotel was sympathetic and very supportive. Every now and then they contacted me to see if I got the money or not. My advice to the hotel is to train their staff especially waitresses/waiters in using payment machines, and even improving their English to avoid such mistakes and hastles. I wish the accountant tooke me with her to the bank so that I know exactly what is going on so that I give solutions or ask my bank for solutions. if I come back to Moshi, I would definitely stay at the Kibo Palce Hotel and enjoy Mt Kilimanjaro views.

This is a hotel in a congested area of Moshi. Tight parking outside. There is a guard right outside and he helps direct any cars trying to park to pick up or let off hotel guests. We had a very nice lady check us in and out. Very helpful staff who were quite friendly. Average size room. Hotel is on a crowded street which is noisy, but I had no problem sleeping. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Restaurant was very good.

It was my fantastic experience at your hotel, Staff are welcoming, everything is planned. I am thankfully for having a chance to stay at your Hotel. I really recommend this hotel if you want to travel to Tanzania. I am well pleased with you! And hoping my next holiday will be amazing again.
