The rooms are so small you can touch either side with very little effort. Their menu is disappointing and food is very expensive. The construction, car accidents, sirens, hooting and partying keeps you awake most of the night. It doesnt help that you walk out of your room and straight into your (or someone else's) car. Staff (especially the receptionists)... More

As others have said, rooms are small, breakfast is dismal, rooms are noisy and dark (I stayed in #3). Seems like too high a price for what you get. Staff has been friendly to me though. Perhaps other rooms are better. Room service is overpriced but tasty enough. Swimming pool is nice but packed with people on the weekend

Location is good and the rooms are fine except once in a while you may encounter a cockroach or some other bug. Swimming pool and garden was too dirty to use but the worst part was the breakfast which was cold and horrible and though we ask them to prepare fresh one or atleast reheat for us, our request was...

This was my first time in Maputo so don't really have a benchmark for Villa das Mangas. My expectations were not very high and perhaps this is why it was not disappointing overall. My room (#3 downstairs) was comfy, clean and spacious. No bugs, no mosquitos. AC working properly. The outside noise was a bit annoying. Breakfast is so so,... More

If you have to reserve a room in this hotel than choose the ones inside Nr. 1 Nr. 2 Nr. 3 or the upstairs room for 20€ more .The other around the swimming pool are a total MESS. We had a room N° 9 with cockroaches inside I had to insist for a better room. The ones located behind the... More

I was at this hotel for 4 nights... it is an oasis in the middle of busy Maputo.. Stayed in an upstairs room ... which had a balcony overlooking the magnificent and always warm pool. The roo beautifully decorated.. the bathroom modern and the shower absolutely perfect.... safe in working order and a flat screen TV with over 20 channels... More

Despite the tacky cheap decor and the mosquitoes, it would be ok (but certainly not worth the price) if not for the very disagreable staff who seemed to resent our arrival and stay. The first morning, we came for breakfast at 8am to discover that there was hardly any food left (we were told some guests had taken the food... More

I used to love staying at this hotel, and decided to return there to find the wonderful atmosphere i remembered, despite the bad reviews I was reading now. It was a mistake. Things have deteriorated and I will not go back there. Here are the reasons: A very small room is given to the single traveler. Bathroom is still ok... More

I booked Hotel Villa das Mangas for the 17 and 18 September. When I got there, I was simply told that the hotel was full and they transfered me to Hotel Vila das Arabias. This was never mentioned on my booking confirmation. I was not happy but accepted to go to Vila das Arabias. This was so bad that I... More
