Malagueta Inn

Charming guesthouse located in the iconic building of Piri-piri, where the primes 24 Julho and Julius Nyerere avenues converge, not only having an iconic restaurant just downstairs but offering also shops, cafes and restaurants at is doorstep. You’ll love the sunny patio "sanzala paz" for chilling at the bar and meeting other travelers. This guesthouse offers single or double accomodation, ideal for couples, solo adventurous, a group of friends or business travelers.

Helpful Host.

Reviewed By ralphsisi

The host is very welcoming & helpful. The rooms are spacious & comfortable with a common area. It’s well situated in close proximity to the major restaurants. There is also a mall right across the road for money exchange, grocery shopping etc. Unfortunately the beds are not that comfortable & it’s a bit expensive for a backpackers.

The Base Backpackers

Pleasant and convenient in central Maputo

Reviewed By Robert O

At a central location with good facilities, this small hostel is a popular place to stay in Maputo. Also because there are hardly any other budget alternatives in the city. I stayed at the Base several times -once for an almost two-week period- and was generally satisfied with the level of services. Aircon in the evenings, (hot) showers worked well, small shared kitchen with fridge is easy to use, coffee and tea during the day included, WiFi worked and the place was kept very clean, due to committed workers. A very friendly receptionist assisted by great security guys, who will take care when she is not there. Major drawback: hard-to-endure noise levels on Saturdays and Sundays caused by a disco next door.

Catembe Beach Lodge

A very interesting place right in front oF the beach with a fantastic pool area overlooking the sea and Maputo city. It's very affordable with a good home environment. The rooms are very comfortable and all have private bathrooms, hot water and air conditioning.

This is a business?!

This story may sound funny now but it wasn't at the time.. I woke up at 7 am to get to a 9:00 city tour. No-one was on the property so I thought. One man came out 10 minutes later specking portuguese after I called out all over the property. I was locked in the property,! No wifi, no coffee, no hot water, no English, no way to call for ride, no toilet paper and no-one else there! !/2 hr later a cleaner came.. again only Portuguese.. After a while she decided to knock on a door. She woke up The manger at 8:30. (She looked like she went to bed very late!) By 8:45 my taxi was called. She used a friend . it took over 45 minutes.. I missed my 9:00 tour. I tried dinner there but she served it freezing cold cooked vegetables. I was afraid to get anything else there. She did heat it up after I requested heat ! To be fair, She provided toilet paper as well later that night! I informed her of my early departure the following day for a flight. Again I woke the following morning, with no-one around! I had to climb over the fence to get out of the property... luckily I arranged my own cab ! This place is joke of a lodge..

Sundance Hostel

A fun hostel in the beach town of Tofo. Air conditioned spacious dorms and private rooms in the most central location you could wish for. Big discounts for diving and weekly rates available. Great vibes, friendly staff and cold beers! Sundance Hostel welcomes you.

Perfect Mozambique trip

Reviewed By 842katharinak

Our days at Sundance we’re just perfect! We extended everyday and ended up being there for approx. one week. The staff is absolutely friendly and we had so much fun in the hostel and the whole little town. We were all like a family. We really love it and highly recommend staying at Sundance. We will come back, if we will be in Mozambique again.

Zombie Cucumber is very well located (2mn walking distance from the beach, facing Bazaruto archipelago)and has been fully renoveted in 2012. The new owners, Valerie & Bruno, are french and belgium and do anything to turn your journey in their small paradise as the best remember of your life.

Just great!

The Beach Village

The beach village is a backpackers like a backpackers should be, on the beach, with a swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. There is easy access to the city and a kind staff that will make you feel home, and do everything to make your vacation as good as possible !

holidays but feelinglike a local

Reviewed By paterp2020

Me and my girlfriend spend our time here on honeymoon. we're surprised about the beauty of this place. On the photos it looks nice but when we arrived here, it surpasses our imagination. The staff is very nice and friendly. It is totally running on mosambiquan people, thats one of the reasons why we choose this place. It`s all about the contact with locals. We had a beautiful cabin called Santas Carolina. It was clean and nice.The mosqutio nets worked very well. Because you are next to the beach you have a beautiful view from the bar to the ocean, perfect for some nice sundowners. As well there are many things around this place you can do for example visit an island, go to the red dune or take a walk to the mangrove forest. The seafood, you can have here, is amazing you never get it fresher than here. All in all our requirements were far exceeded. It was a great pleasure.

Ruby Backpackers Ilha de Mozambique

Ruby it is a nice and friendly backpackers in Mozambique Island,there are 2 dorms and 3 double room, breakfast it is included, the toilet it is share, there are a nice and friendly bar inside and a beautifull rooftop to drink a beer or read a book.

A Jewel

Reviewed By sadeeyor

NB TWO POINTS: DON'T CONFUSE WITH RUBY NAMPULA (couldn't be more different) - MAP HERE SHOWS LOCATION JUST ACROSS THE CAUSEWAY, BUT ACTUALLY IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE ISLAND What a joyful jewel! This old building, with its rooftop terrace, airy dorms, cheery staff, a stroll from all manner of atmospheric wanders of Ilha. And great value, especially for being at the heart of what Is Historic Mozambique. Unexpectedly more bang for buck than Malawi. Ilha's a far cry from the rampant commercial hassle of Zanzi; more in common with Lamu, Kenya, with its dusty donkeys. People go about their day in a normal manner. It's a pleasure to softly tread the alleyways with quiet bom dias.

LaGoa Lodge is 7kms from town.

Eden as you imagine it

Reviewed By Edoardo G

idyllic and peaceful, on the side of the stunning lagoon of quissico, is the ideal stay for 1-2nights if you want to have a taste of local Mozambican tourism. Each hut or rundavels is curated in a rustic yet very pleasant taste. The views of the lake at sunset or dawn are truly fantastic. I give 4 and not 5 because we had a light that stayed on all night (and could not figure out how to switch off) and someone played loud music until late. Apart from that highly recommend it. Also, go and check out the beach, about 30min walk from the resort.
