Hai, Tanzania hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great"

"Primeland is a small first class boutique hotel and highly recommended. Its 3 star rating belies its quality. The only drawback is that the very clean standard double rooms, although very well appointed, are small.  This can easily be overcome by booking a twin room (for a few pounds more) and requesting the removal of the single bed. The breakfast is limited but quite adequate and the lunch / dinner menu extensive for the size of the hotel.  The grilled Nile Perch is highly recommended as is the Beef Pizza but all the food is both well cooked and presented, with local representatives. The Beef Samosas are equal to any in the subcontinent or souks of the Middle East.  The service is most attentive.  The swimming pool, while not Olympic size, is more than large enough for recreational swimming and has a bar area adjoining. The pool, which can be viewed from the restaurant has alternating colour lighting in the evening.  The hotel building and pool are surrounded by a pleasant and varied well kept garden. It is located in an area outside the centre with indigenous shops and housing but is only a 7 minute (€1.5) tuktuk ride from the town centre and the local Mbuyeni market. Finally, and by no means least, in appropriate cloud conditions it has an excellent view of the peak of Kilimanjaro above a local foreground of trees. A self parking area is provided within the walled security area which is controlled by a Masai guard as well as a local uniformed security company.10+/10."

"Lovely quiet lodge with beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Lovely friendly staff and great food. "

"This was a wonderful zen stop for us in Kilimanjaro. The staff treated us like family and the food and drinks were amazing. "

"This is a hidden gem and I highly recommend Shose if you are in the Moshi area. Starting with the warm welcome from Benson at the front desk to the wonderful service and great recommendations for dinner from our waiter Ismail, we were very pleased with choosing Shose Farmhouse! We were 2 couples and all agreed that the rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious and the bed super comfortable! Also enjoyed a hot soak in the outdoor tub on the balcony overlooking green fields and Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance! A special thank you to Benson who arranged for my iphone left mistakenly in the taxi arranged by the hotel, to be returned to me! "

"It nice place i nice breakfast good location Very clean. Wifi i not good at the 8 beds dormetry "

"I loved the staff so friendly. Manager helped me with a cheaper route to the waterfall. Location wasn't the best as I need a ride to get anywhere but at least rides are cheap. Just be careful of not getting a agreed price before you go anywhere. As it will start at 2k and jump to 10k for little to no reason....the pool was very clean. And rooms were very nice. Asked for a air-conditioning...same day they INSTALLED it!!! Food was good. Really really loved the staff. Soo kind and some even knew English. I prefer Moshi to dar salaam now. Kinda regret leaving the hotel to come here to dar salaam. Definitely ask the manager to set ya up with waterfall...and be careful of street sellers as they will over charge alot. Hire a guide or local to help you navigate and shop. The people of tanzania are sooooo helpful."
