Kilimanjaro Scenic Homestay

I had a great stay at the Scenic Lodge. Gabriel and his staff made me feel really welcome and looked after. I highly recommend the place as it is well located, with a beautiful garden and excellent food.

Although we told the staff that the exact time we would like to have the breakfast, they did not prepare it on-time. It took very long time for them to prepare while the driver's awaiting us.

Gabriel made my stay in Moshi so easy - he and his family were so welcoming, he picked me up from my hotel in Arusha and dropped me at the airport at the end of my stay, and even organized a 1 day guided hike up part of Kilimanjaro for me. The food was good, the hotel is beautiful and nicely situated with a view of Kilimanjaro, and at the end of my stay Gabriel arranged a delivery of coffee for me to take home. I will definitely return the next time I am in Moshi! Thank you Gabriel for a lovely stay.

There were some issues with the wifi during my stay, but this was with the internet provider and the hosts very quickly contacted the provider to sort this out.

Gabrielle and his team are new into the tourism business. We loved the location, facilities and intimate care that we received during our stay. We had the top room on the tower and we had a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. Gabrielle also booked local tours including coffee experience, trip to the Ewang'ani Maasai Cultural Village (http://www.ewanganimaasaiculturalvillage.com/), hike to waterfalls, Kikuleta Hot Springs, cycling up to the villages from the Lodge to the edge of Kilimanjaro National Park, visit the ancient Chagga Cave, visit to Moshi town and markets as well as being taxi to the airport! If you ask him to book tours, then expect him to be busy!

The quantity of the food was too much and we would try to order portions for three people even though we were four adults. The wifi had moments when it was off and needed a reboot but once back online it worked fine!
