A comfortable home

10.0

This was truly a home away from home. Sophie and her family were so welcoming. I enjoyed eating dinner with them at night and their smiles throughout the day. The location is quiet and conducive for digital nomads. I worked comfortably on my laptop from my room and on the veranda with an amazing view of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations.

10.0

Sophie’s Homestay was one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. Sophie and her family are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts who go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. The room was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. The location is convenient to arrive in Tanzania, for exploring Moshi and is an excellent base before or after a Kilimanjaro trek or safari. What really makes this place special is the personal hospitality. Sophie helped us with local information and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Moshi. Liked: • Exceptional hospitality • Clean and comfortable rooms • Great breakfast & dinner • Peaceful atmosphere • Excellent value for money

Nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Sophie’s Homestay is amazing

10.0

Sophie and her family are so beautiful, and she can share so much of her wisdom about the country. Sophie is an amazing human and helping so many of her family and friends to get education and opportunities to thrive in Tanzania. She will go out of her way to help you!

Beautiful home, lovely hosts, excellent stay.

10.0

The house was clean and comfortable with many cool chill spots and beautiful gardens. The location was perfect, just next to the road yet queit and peaceful. The surrounding neighborhood is perfect for a relaxing walk on run. Sophie's sister was so warm and lovely, we felt at home the moment we stepped on the compound. Sophie too is such a happy soul. We all really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

The breakfast portions were small.

Vielen Dank für Alles!

Unglaublich nettes Personal, haben uns mitten in der Nacht spontan aufgenommen, weil unser eigentlich gebuchtes Homestay nicht existierte. Auch ansonsten sehr zuvorkommend. Sie wollten uns unbedingt Frühstück zubereiten, auch wenn wir um 7 Uhr losmussten.

Amazing stay - we will come again!

9.0

Sophie was a great host! She was super friendly and helped us arrange everything we needed. We felt very welcome and at home with her. All the staff was very friendly and the service was great. Overall the best stay we had in Tanzania

The rooms were a little small and the water pressure could have been better, but these are complaints on a very high level.
