Hotels With bar in Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania

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.

I couldn't ask for a better hotel. The rooms were very clean and even had mosquito nets. Unused rooms were aired daily. We were able to eat breakfast and dinner on the rooftop, which was delicious. Even when I didn't have any other business, I could relax on the rooftop and enjoy the view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind. They arranged a cheap bus from the hotel to Dodoma and even provided a pickup service from the bus stop. They also organized a coffee tour for about $35, provided packed lunches and water, and even hiked to the village waterfall, making it a very affordable tour. They were always concerned about us and honestly quoted prices, so it was clear they weren't just after our money. They were always there to help us with anything, like recommendations for good restaurants nearby. If you're ever in Moshi, I highly recommend giving them a try.

It was a nice place which felt like a home, nice and big and even had a nice lounge to chill and watch tv. They made yummy food and was just what we need after our safari. Only 15 mins away from Kilimanjaro airport

I was personally driven the two hour distance each way by Issa in Amos’ vehicle = YES Guests are treated like royalty!. It is an honor to be a Guest here & I feel quite blessed!

There are very few Chinese people here, so let me leave a comment. Don't have extravagant hopes for the Youth Hostel, it's a place to live. Single room, mosquito net, clean quilt, toilet and tap water. But need to bring a conversion plug. But the square dance outside is still loud but I don't mind.

This stay at the Flamingo Hotel was really a very pleasant experience! We flew from Sambar Island and it was very late, but the hotel still gave us a warm reception. Welcome drink, help luggage, waiter to the room to introduce the facilities in detail. We booked a triple room, the room was really big, completely exceeded expectations! The most surprising thing is that there is a separate small pool at the door of the room that belongs to us! But the hotel does not have a quilt. There is a list. Anyway, we climbed Kilimanjaro and brought a sleeping bag. I found that the hotel here is also for a list of Sang Island... That night, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant, the dishes tasted very good, especially their mixed vegetables, tasted very good, very fresh. The buffet breakfast the next day, although the variety is not particularly large, the taste is also great. This is a very distinctive and exquisite hotel. From the overall layout to every decoration detail, you can see the hotel's intentions, very stylish, and the environment is particularly clean. The experience was very good, we were even thinking that if we come back next time, or after going down the mountain from Chirimagaro, we must stay here again!

Goed hotel met behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel. Gewoon goed, in een mooi rustige omgeving met, vanaf het dak, zicht op de Kilimanjaro. Ontbijt is goed en het eten is lekker. Kortom, gewoon een goed en vriendelijk hotel. Helaas is internet niet heel stabiel, waardoor deze regelmatig wegvalt.
