Having read the previous reviews, I approached this hotel with great trepidation... (it was booked by a colleague so I couldn't really change). After 4 nights there, I was pleasantly suprised. The staff all spoke English and were helpful. The owner was always present and approachable. Yes, the rooms are small and quite inventive with the space...and at some USD... More

The website has one photo of rooms around a lovely pool. There is a reason there are no room photos; the rooms are so small you would have to shoot with a fish-eye lens! The only modern feature in my room was an enormous, flat screen TV. Far too big for the room! The bath was cracked and leaking, I... More

I loved the experience... nice place! Friendly staff, the rooms are beautiful and it's well located... Strong recommended. Shore I will be back and i will spread it to my friends. More

Hotel Villas des Mangas in Maputo charges 3,400 MZN ($US94 or Euro 67) for a room. I moved here after spending few days in Hotel Africa 1 (2,500 MZN or $US69 or Euro50) and I didn’t like it because of its hygiene, cleanness and lousy service. Though breakfast was OK. I checked out and went for a weekend trip .... More

Two problems we had; The aiport transfer was not possible to arrange... More

After spending a few days in Kruger, we decided to go visit Maputo. Not having made any prior reservation in any hotel, we took our chances. Arriving in Maputo, we came across with Villa das Mangas hotel. I would say this is not the best hotel I have ever been but it has kind of a tropical charm. We stood... More

My first impression of Villa das Mangas was that it had certainly exceeded my expectations. The accommodation is centrally located and the facilities were good. The breakfast - commented on in previous reviews - was acceptable, but not wonderful and the staff in general were friendly. The real damper on our trip however occured when a friend found Euro 100... More

Service is friendly and the rooms are around a garden courtyard with a swimming pool in the middle. However the place felt more than a little worn down; scuffed furntiture and that sort of thing, and my room was small. The breakfast was truly dissapointing with undrinkable coffee and cold eggs. More
