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!

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!

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.

Mooi hotel met prachtige tuin en zwembad
Het hotel ligt 7 km buiten Moshi, dus je moet altijd een taxi of tuktuk nemen. Het hotel is prachtig met een mooi zwembad en een mooie tuin waarin de huisjes staan.
