I would never return to this place, even if I was paid to. We only stayed at this place to catch the bus to Tofo. Fatima's charge you double the price for this ticket with the promise that the bus will pick you up (which, of course it did not!!). Barely saw any hotel staff during our time at Fatima's.... More

Definitely a great place to meet fellow travelers, as well as locals, from all walks of life. What they advertise is what you get....so in that way they are very competent. Accommodation in Moz, overall, tends to be overpriced for what it is, and this place is no exception...staff does tend to turn over a bit, been there twice over... More

I spent one night at Fatima's on my way back to Jo'burg and found it to be a decent place to stay. I thought the dorm was nice, with very comfortable beds and the common area good as well. I found the place safe and clean. As others have noted, it was relatively expensive...the most expensive backpackpackers place I stayed... More

I've stayed at least 7 times with the purpose of visiting family in Maputo. Fatimas is not false it's 100% Mozambiquan with Mozambiquan owner and staff. I've always been treated very well, There is a superb ambiance for 'chilling' meeting people and making contacts. It's very safe and the rooms/dorms are fine. Staff are very knowledgeable and you can use... More

it was the fastest way to get an accommodation in maputo. we stayed there for two nights just because avoid time wasing by searching for another place to stay. the rooms have enough space, but they weren't cleaned during the stay. as payment service they accept also credit cards, but even so this service is working only during the day.

I stayed at Fatima's twice as just a stop over going in and going out of Mozambique. I stayed in early December before the prices had been increased (as most places do during high season) and before there was crowd of people. Even the receptionist was talking to me about preparing for the rush of people that come in during... More

I stayed at Fatima's a while back and found it to be sufficient enough. Top features were that it was easy to find and had a shuttle up to Tofo which was my main destination. However, it is loud and definitely a party spot, which made it tough to sleep. On my return to Maputo I sourced another place to... More

The hostel in centrally located in Maputo. You can reach anything you need by a walk. But it is very expensive, about 30 Euro (350 Rand, 35 Franken, 35$) a night in a dorm and there is no tea, salt, oil or free internet. Even the drinks on the bar are double as expensive than outside the hostel.

Fatimas takes advantage of backpackers who cannot find anywhere else to stay. There are cheaper places (and nicer and cleaner!) such as Base but they are often booked out. Fatimas is vomit-inducingly dirty: the bathrooms fester and remain uncleared throughout the day and you feel like you've sinned everytme you use their toilets. Ontop of this, despite advertising they have... More
