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.

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!

Beautiful pool area and good food at decent prices, though higher than other local restaurants. Found some of the staff unhelpful and theydidnt offer up any options for local attractions or tours or really any information. Rooms are okay but there are better and less expensive options in town.

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!

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!

disappointing
I was disappointed to see there was no T. V. except at the bar where you had to drink to watch. The rooms were large but floors were stained cement and shower water had a strange smell. Everything was minimum at best except for the list of rules and not-alloweds! The food was so slow, though good when it finally came. the staff was friendly but always watching the pool area to scold over the slightest infraction-eg. a room towel brought out, a crumb tossed to the local wild-life.

Nice volunteer getaway..
The Honey Badger was an awesome break from the volunteer work I do in Arusha as a volunteer college instructor and curriculum developer. Very quiet and peaceful, beautiful grounds, reasonable price, caring staff and terrific food -- Tam sana! Just there for a night while in Moshi, wished I could have stayed longer.
