10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Maputo: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 3, 2023 Deane Carmody

Maputo, the lush capital of Mozambique, sits on the shore of the Indian Ocean. Founded as a port town by the Portuguese, the influence of travelers and traders from Africa, Asia, and Europe, has made the city a diverse and lively metropolis. The area is famous for its prawns in peri-peri sauce, a spicy concoction made from an especially hot African chili pepper. Calm down your taste buds afterwards with a beer at one of the many bars and nightclubs in the Fere de Populare neighborhood.

Wonderful, wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Guesthouse 1109 is one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. The owner, staff, and guard dog Zeus were all wonderful. The Honesty Bar was reasonably priced and extremely convenient. The rooms were nice and had everything you'd need. Great terrace looking over the city and inviting pool. The owner went above and beyond to help us figure things out - if we ever find ourselves back in Maputo I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Liv Inn Guest House is located 200m from Adil water park, 3 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from city center by car.

Good for a overnight stay (or two)

Reviewed By LachinMM

We stayed at Liv Inn one night on our way and it was a nice stay, Definitely more than expected I must say. I was also surprised and amazed by the room as it is such a tiny room as you'd expect to see in japan or so... anyway, we did arrive late and left early so there was not much to explore.. our friends had a dorm room which was almost the better option if you do like your space. If you are not planning on staying in the room all day with your partner, it should be fine. Closets are outside, since there is not much room in the room but I wonder who'd leave any values out there? Rooms did not have mosquito nets or mosquito doors, which was a little annoying, especially after a shower. I did enjoy the coziness but also, you are showering right above the toilet. It was an experience but the water does travel a certain distance and if you have any values nearby.... which is not far! Water pressure was a bit funny but it did warm up nicely. The facility is not huge but does include a pool, grill area, a lobby/ hangout area with Tv, books, games and magazines and right there is also the kitchen alongside some more private rooms. The late night snack was much appreciated, since the kitchen was already closed. The meal was an average burger but prepared by friendly service team. Check-in and our were easy with no issues. Over all, a nice little stay.

Conveniently located in a refined residential area. With four different rooms, for guests with different exigencies. Easy to reach from the Maputo International Airport, the house is at walking distance from supermarkets, restaurants and a taxi spot. The house caters for the needs of those staying in Maputo for a few days, willing to enjoy the comfort and most of the services offered in a hotel but at a more affordable price.

I wish I had found this place sooner...

This place is what it says it is - a quiet corner. I needed some solo time and this place gave me exactly what I was looking for. The girl at reception is amazing, kudos to her. She was so kind and hospitable to me. Even the security guard is well mannered, polite and hospitable. I will definitely make a plan to stay there in the future.

Reviewed By moniqx

This is a really great place, so tastefully decorated, a perfect mix of comfort and modernity with african elements that make for a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and super nice, the garden is beautiful and breakfast very good. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious, the shower worked perfectly (one of those where you can easily get the desired water temperature) and there was enough space for all our stuff. Parking was a bit limited but we managed. But what made this place especially amazing was the big bed with a huge mosquito net. Unlike most places we've been in Africa, they have a big frame over the bed where the net hangs from, that keeps it perfectly aligned like 4 walls, staying in place the whole night. It actually felt romantic! I would absolutely recommend FigTree!!!

Breakfast included in the price is delicious and meals on order are just as great. Joli Guesthouse has homy feeling away from home. Lovely decorated and I will strongly recommend it for travelers.

My husband discovered this beautiful place to stay.

Reviewed By gracebaeza

One of our best experiences in Maputo. The place has a beautiful garden with a pool. It is a well kept and clean place, the staff is very friendly and the owners are very nice and hospitable people. It would be a perfect place if it would have a mosquito net on the main bed; but apart from that it is the ideal place, a true oasis.

Hotel Maputo

The Art of Hospitality in Center of Maputo

Not the worst I've stayed in.

Reviewed By psacker

The exterior and lobby are very nice and the location is ok. There are 2 very slow, very small, sometimes functioning elevators. The rooms need work, see photos. Chunks of bathroom tile missing, 3 out of 4 bulbs in bedside lights missing and fixtures broken, there was obviously some kind of flood from the bathroom that wrecked the plywood flooring. I'm gluten and dairy free so didn't trust any of the handful of things on the room service menu, some of our friends did and the reviews went from mediocre to inedible. There's apparentIy some sort of breakfast but after asking the staff in the cafeteria a couple of times if we could order something and being told no (at 7:50am, breakfast is advertised as being at 7:30), we went out for breakfast, which seems to be the smart move. If you just need something no frills to sleep for a night it did seem like the beds were clean but the water pressure in the shower is a luke warm trickle. Set your expectations and it's fine as a place to sleep for a night, but I wouldn't stay longer.
