Honey Badger Lodge has a wilderness safari lodge feel. The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable. The staff was attentive and friendly. The pool is well maintained and I enjoyed swimming and sunning by the pool. I would definitely stay at Honey Badger again.

Honey Badger Lodge has a cabin like feel to the hotel. The property is well maintained and has wildlife like monkeys and tortoise which were pleasent to see. Some things it can improve on are being prepard for clients arrival. When we checked in, the lamp in our room did not have a lightbulb, and we were given flashlights to use on our first night. The temperature inside the room was also quite warm and one fan was not sufficient in our family suit. Lastly, service during breakfast was painstakingly slow - just a slice of toast took 15 mins for the staff to bring. The lodge is made beautifully. It is quiet and relaxing, but can improve in the coustomer service department.

Premier hôtel pour première nuit en Tanzanie, donc découverte totale. Situé hors centre de Moshi donc nous sommes restés dans l’hôtel une journée jusqu’au lendemain date de début de notre Safari. Hôtel totalement sécurisé d’accès. Personnel aimable et accueillant Prestations Repas et boissons de bonne qualité et pour un prix très bas Point Négatif: la Piscine qui n’est pas du tout filtrée et dans laquelle seuls les plus téméraires peuvent prendre le risque de s’y baigner. Sinon, comme partout, la pression de l’eau qui est faible mais on s’en accommode.

over-rated and over-priced

I found the lodge over priced and over rated. It was not happy about me booking through hotels.com and queried my payment despite booking being guaranteed and my payment being shown as paid. they badgered me about payment on a number of occasions which forced me to call my bank in UK and hotels.com directly. it is also a long way from town centre and room 10 on road and by carpark was noisy.

The Honey Badger was above and beyond our expectations. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. Chef Kristin’s food was amazing and we did not have a bad meal our entire trip. We booked the Chemka Hotsprings through the honey Badger and it was a great day trip! We also did the cooking lessons and can now make traditional dishes for our family when we go home. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend the honey Badger for anyone visiting Moshi or needing a place to stay before/after hiking Kili!

Honey Badger is a Great Retreat!

We were staying in Moshi as part of a volunteer trip and had been to Honey Badger before for drinks and swimming, but never to stay overnight. We decided to book a room on Hotels.com for a Saturday and loved our stay. The staff there is friendly, professional and accommodating. They are there to make sure you have a comfortable stay. We had lunch and dinner there, too, and the food is lovely, as well. The room was spacious and comfortable. Quiet! The grounds are impressive. Well kept. Relaxing. We will definitely be back as day guests and as hotel guests, too!

Happy customer

I stayed at Honey Badger after my safari and kili climb in oct 2018. I was happily suprised by the good standard and comfort of this hotel compared to others in the area. In African standards, i think the quality and comfort is as good as they come in this price. The rooms were big and clean, mosquito nettings around the bed and windows and a decent shower. My only complaint about the room is that there is no AC, only a floor fan. The hotel has a very tropical feel to it. Beautiful pool and gardens with monkeys running around keeping you company. I have to compliment the resturant as well. The food was very good with alot og variety for both vegetarien and meat lovers. However the hotel mainly serves a fusion between local and international cuisine, personally i would loved to see more traditional dishes. The staff was always helpful and fluent in english, and the manager was always walking around making sure the guests enjoyed their stay. They also offer some activites, like safari, kili climb, waterfall day trip and coffee plantation tour. I personally did both waterfall and coffee whitch i can recommend. However abit pricey. My negative comnebts about this hotel are its location. It is located about 25 min outside moshi town, down a bumpy road with almost nothing around to see or do within walking distance. Also there is not much to do at the hotel itself other than the pool

Best place in town

This is a great place to stay with excellent facilities including a very nice swimming pool and good restaurant. The income of the Honey Badger Lodge is beneficial to the education of local children in the community. This lodge can organize all kind of activities. We visited a chagga village, waterfall and coffee plantation.

Perfecto para descansar

Pasamos unos días de descanso después del safari. Lugar tranquilo a las afueras de Moshi, necesitas taxi para ir a la cuidad pero con unos 4 dólares lo haces. Vistas al Killimanjaro. Una espaciosas zonas comunes con piscina. Los exteriores bastante bien cuidados pero a las habitaciones les vendría bien una reforma. En cualquier caso, si tuviese que hacerlo, volvería a alojarme ahi

Awesome hidden place :-)

The Lodge is a really nice place and the owner Joe is very helpful. I can definitely recommend to book a stay here. Don't miss all the monkeys around the pool area :-). The only thing which could work better is the service in the restaurant. All people are friendly and welcoming, but the organization in the kitchen has to work better ...it takes too long to get food.

Not a bad stay

The hotel was fine; they had a nice open area near the pool with a bar that people were congregating at. The rooms have no a/c and we had a 3 bed room so that a few of us could room together but there's no door on the shower which made that challenging since it was a mix of men and women traveling together.

Great swimming pool!!!

We stayed here two nights before heading on Safari. The hotel is great and you can tell there is a lot of attention to detail in ensuring this business has a positive social impact (They sponsor a school, rely on solar energy, etc.) The hotel has great common spaces and a fantastic swimming pool and bar. Be aware that it is a bit away from Moshi, so not ideal if you want to explore the city or do some shopping.

Beautiful grounds and pool, clean & bright rooms

My partner and I were really looking for an escape for the evening from busy Moshi to celebrate our anniversary. It was perfect for this! The grounds of the place are gorgeous - leafy, quiet and the pool is fantastic. The rooms are bright and large, and the shower had wonderful hot water. We loved the food, too! There were a couple of minor downsides..the wifi doesn't extend to the rooms, and that at night, there was just rugby playing, and no music to enjoy. The dining area could also use a little more light to eat dinner under :).

very relaxing holidays

We came here already the second time for one week. It is a marvellous place to relax (also often used after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro). The pool is clear and big enough to swim but also ideal for children. The site is well arranged with palms and bananaplants. You never feel cramped. Also the rooms are spacious. The staff is very kind, the breakfast is great. Worth its price!

Resort is out of town which suited us as it was very quiet. You really feel you are in Africa when staying here with outdoor casual eating and very cheap beer. Staff are very eager to please.
