Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Cozy, quirky guesthouse in great location. Miguel, the owner is super helpful. The place has a great sitting room and fun outdoor showers as well as a proper bathroom. There is a kitchen so you can cook for yourself and a terrace for chilling. Get the Yango app for taxis and getting anywhere is cheap.

    Staff were helpful, the bed is comfortable, the air conditioning works well, nice view of the city, towels provided. The staff told us about the Yango app which is cheaper for getting around than using a tuctuc or a taxi. The location is inside the Museu Mafalala (the location on booking.com shows something different) which feels safe and is nicely decorated.

    It was my second stay at Base Backpackers. Location is really good, there aren't many options in center of Maputo at such price. Area seems safe place there is a petrol station near. Generally good value for money

    Great and extremely friendly and welcoming host, amazing breakfast, nice pool in the backyard, very good recommendations for restaurants etc. Almost being a part of the family. Was supplied with water,milk, cookies and fruit during my 2 nights there. Central Maputo, ATM, Restaurants, views of the Bay is all in walking distance in a safe area. Not as private as a hotel, but not like a backpackers. More like a good mixture between private rooms and easy possibilities around the pool for breakfast to meet others.

    This was possibly the cleanest hostel ive stayed. Also 24/7 security makes it one of the safest. The staff were kind VERY relaxed. THEY HAVE MOSQUITO NETS.

    A great hotel in a great location. Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Eating and shopping places are easily accessible and the area is safe. Great staff all round. A very good airport shuttle service. Great communication. Value for money. Thank you for the wonderful stay. I will be back again!

    Safe location in business district (close to ministries and embassies), just above one of the most famous local restaurants - a must try. Comfortable bed and pillows. Well-stocked kitchen and a small supermarket nearby. Cheap and quick ride to the airport by taxi (pre-booked by host, so no tourist overcharging) - 15-20min, 8eur. Currency exchange across the road offering good rates, better than interbank rates on credit card. Last but not least - nice artistic decoration all around the place and many green plants.
