At Stella Maris, You Are Family
The people that work at Stella Maris are wonderful and really set this place apart from other options. I stayed here for 6 nights around a Kilimanjaro trek and it was a very comfortable and warm stay. The staff are friendly and caring and it very quickly felt like my home away from home. The food was also delicious and I appreciated the mission of the hotel+school. If I'm ever back in the Moshi/Arusha area, I'll be looking to stay here again. Be aware that the power does go out in Tanzania from time to time, so it's best to be prepared for that.

The staff is the heart of the hotel. Olivia, Innocence, Esther and Teddy were fantastic. Incredibly helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and huge portions. And the fruit juices are addictive. The rooms are clean and great water pressure. The rooms can be a little dark and wifi is best in the reception area.

The Stella Maris staff is the highlight of the facility. They immediately become family and treat you as such. The facility is very clean and very well kept. There are limitations that are to be expected as a part of visiting the country and area such as occasional area power outages (which are only a brief interruption till the generator comes on) and periodic brief Wifi disruption common for the area. The food is excellent. The bed is comfortable with a mosquito net. Pillows are comfortable. But again, the staff are the stars of the show.

Exceptionally friendly and caring staff. We were greeted with a hug and a huge smile. Because of our flight issue and rerouting, we ended up reaching at 8:30 am, far earlier than our anticipated arrival of 3:30 pm. They were very nice and gave us a room at 8:30 am and we were able to catch up with our sleep (previous night was meant to be restful in Nairobi, which never happened due to flight delays and rerouting directly to JRO...so, we were really tired). In the late afternoon, we were hoping to take their transportation service to go to the hot spring (about 50 minute drive each way). Instead of quoting a flat fee for the transportation, they told up that they would charge $70 per person. For 8 people in our group, it would have been $560 for a total of a 3-hour trip. That was too steep. We ended up hiring a taxi service who charged $120 total (for two different vehicles). I guess Stella Maris did not really ever offer that service in the past and was quoting prices based on several tour operators' prices...but the tour operators there take people for a day trip to the hot springs and include a lunch and entrance fee and they do charge about $50 to $70/person. I think Stella Marris is a great place to stay...not fancy but great service and extremely friendly people. We found their gift shop offering to be very reasonably priced (as compared to shops in Arusha). The transportation service (mis)quote notwithstanding, I would highly recommend the place.

Great stay before Kilimanjaro trek!
I booked one night here before joining my trekking group the next day. Hotel staff is the friendliest I have ever encountered. My room was clean and comfortable. Water needed to be heated up about 15 minutes before your shower but it is a minor inconvenience. Breakfast was huge and delicious. I look forward to the fresh fruit and smoothie every morning. The hotel donates/supports the nearby school as well. I would definitely recommend Stella Maris.

Popular point of deprarture for Kili treks, which is actually nice, as you learn a lot from fellow trekkers. Mama is WONDERFUL, and her staff is responsive and attentive. Good food, comfortable/basic accommodations, and good value for what you pay. I totally recommend the post-trek massage!

Great Jumping Off Point For Kili
Really friendly staff keen to make sure you are happy - a great jumping off point for climbing KIlimanjaro Non for profit set up that funds the school in front of the hotel (which also means the road noise is kept to a min)

Very Comfortable with TERRIFIC, Attentive Staff
Large, gracious hotel just outside of Moshi -- down a green country lane – catering to an international clientele, from which all the proceeds go to supporting a school for local children and orphans. The comfortable lobby, dining room and rooms have high ceilings, A/C, WiFi, and in some cases, views of the lovely garden (mine had a private balcony). The two meals I ordered from the chef were excellent. But it was the staff – namely the delightful Teddy, Skola, and Innocent – who were so unbelievably warm, friendly, and attentive, I will always remember them the way they treated me: like family!

Heartfelt Hotel helping non-profit school program.
I chose this hotel due to it's location and pricing. But, wow!. what a great hotel. Very clean and accommodating. And all proceeds go to an elementary/primary school to help young students receive a better education. The people at the hotel support the school. All the hotel staff were amazingly kind and helpful.

Great Staff
This is rural Tanzania, so facilities are not what you'd get on 5th avenue, but I don't think I've been at any hotel; in the world that had a friendlier staff or people who remembered my name everytime. They were ready and willing to do whatever they could to make it a good stay. They arranged events and drivers. There was always a cool drink waiting for us. I felt cared about. They treated me like family and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
