"This was perfect for what we needed. We were there to explore so didn’t need a fancy room. The room was very basic, reflective of the price. It is noisy, like everywhere we stayed in Africa, earplugs (and sleeping mask) go a long way. The staff arranged very reasonably priced airport pickup (shared shuttle) and tours for us. Would highly recommend the day trip to waterfall/coffee/hot springs $75usd/pp totally worth it! The Kilimanjaro day hike (16km) wasn’t worth it for us $150usd/pp and no real view at the top, not their fault, it is a popular hike and cheaper than other companies, it just was a big let down in terms of views. The rooftop patio is a great place to chill out and the food is very affordable and tasty. Views of Kilimanjaro. Staff are friendly and helpful. This place is ideal for budget travellers. "

"Excellent service, small hotel, super safe and quiet...everything is done so you feel at home. "

"We wanted somewhere nearby with parking on site to visit the arusha national park and to relax before climbing kilimanjaro. this lodge was perfect for us and the standard of food and the helpfulness of the staff were particularly excellent,"

"Very helpful and friendful staff. Breakfast buffet was good. Food on the whole was good, Great view of Mount Kilamanjaro from my balcony room, Nice situated in the heart of the little traditional town with all its sidewalk markets and extensive fruit and vegetable stalls. The various tours suitable to diverse travellers,"

"This is probably the nicest hotel in central Moshi for Europeans on their first trip to the region. You have to remember that this is Africa and things don't always work but on balance this is a good safe place to stay. Once lesson for us was we were pretty much the only Europeans in the town, trekkers and safari people tend to stay outside, so be prepared, this is a busy African town not a tourist place"

"I really enjoyed spending time at this hotel. The staff are very welcoming and wonderful people to be around. The staff made sure that I had a shuttle to go around town and a safe way to get there, had a secure place to store the remaining luggage, and they made delicious food for breakfast and at the restaurant. I would highly recommend to stay at the Stella Maris Lodge."

"Overall good hotel. "

"Nice hotel and friendly staff "

"The bathroom was dirty and not cared properly. I had to buy toilet-bowl cleaner to whiten the bowl.Hot water was so-so, either got it too cold or too hot The bathroom was badly done - when you take a shower the water splashes all over where the toilet and sink are. Judging by the poor breakfast , which I had only 4 times in my 2 weeks stay, I never had any meals at the hotel. Around the hotel there are reasonably priced restaurants for a good meal. The staff is exceptionally pleasant and helpful but the hotel need a revamping big time. The air conditioning was okay. There was big gaping tear in one of the curtains which was not very nice. All in all my stay was okay but it could have been better."
