8.4 Great
Nice views of Kilimanjaro from the rooftop.

The staff were really helpful and help you organize your transportation and tours making sure that they do not charge you more than what's necessary. There is so much to see around here.

10.0 Fantastic
Clean and quiet

The hostel is located outside the city center although it's not far so you can really enjoy the tranquility that nature has to offer. There is also a bar for eating, drinking and relaxing in the evenings. The breakfast has different choices which was nice.
