Guest reviews for FIGTREE GUESTHOUSE
"Such a beautiful oasis! The pool and garden were gorgeous, the house was like a home away from home, and the staff did everything to make our stay great. The location was convenient to everywhere. Would highly recommend this place!"
"Aucun."

"Aucun."
"This hotel got everything we needed! Perfect breakfast, nice room with hot shower and a big moscito net around the beds, wonderful green garden with a nice pool and two cute turtles, very peaceful place even though located so central, helpful and friendly staff, and clean and tidy. A safe stay."
"Nothing I can think of."
"Comfortable, nicely decorated, very good location, a very good value option"
"Parking was a bit of a squeeze!"
"Great location, awesome building and great garden. The staff is very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the overall cosy atmosphere of the property and also the neighborhood."
"We really enjoyed our stay. If we had to give some feedback for improvement it would be: The rooms towards the ocean and the garden are quite noisy because of the street in front of the property, I would rather book rooms into the other direction. The lights setup in the two rooms we had could be improved. One room was very bright while the other was quite dark. In the mornings the rooms became very bright because of the absence of blackout curtains."
"Small guesthouse with excellent service. We had to amend our booking on the spot due unforeseen circumstances, and they were super accommodating. The rooms are very homely. Campo de Fiory and Fundação Fernando Leite Couto are great walking distance dinner / lunch options"
"The roadside rooms get a bit noisy; however, what else can be expected in a busy city like Maputo."
"Very clean, breakfast met expectations, friendly staff 😊"
"There’s nothing. The place is safe. However, the parking is too limited I was wondering what would’ve happened if many guests arrived at the same time."
"This guesthouse is delightful in a very convenient location. The staff were extremely helpful, suggesting places to eat and visit, booking taxis for us and accommodating very early breakfast to fit our daytrips. They were also very flexible and moved our reservation to the next day when our flight from Vilanculos was cancelled. The location is excellent to visit the Polana Cimento area of town. Some taxi drivers needed extra instructions to find it, but it was enough to say that it was near the Igreja Polana and it generally worked out. Also, do not expect a long drive from the airport, 20 minutes and you are there."
"Aucun."
"Good security and off street parking. Efficient reception. Staff arranged and paid for my Taxi as I did not have local currency and charged this to my bill. Very friendly and gracious owner. Nice garden and pool area for complete relaxation. Breakfast was good enough. Room and bathroom are spacious enough although dated finishes and equipment. I appreciated the comprehensive mosquito netting around bed posters and the refrigerator and enough bottled water supplied free of charge. I will most definitely stay over again."
"No name board on front gate/ fence. So we drove past in the first instance Neighborhood could be quite noisy from time to time with vehicle noise and dogs barking."

"It is a really nice spot, host was lovely and bed and room was really comfortable. Spotless clean. Photos do not do it justice!"
"The complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day with the ocean breeze and the staff was amazing. A man by the name of Wilson can show you amazing places that you might not know exists and knows everything about Vilankulos. My wife and i spent a lot of time with him as he showed us amazing views and treated us like gold. Very caring and knows how to to make us laugh and smile making our stay more than we expected."

"The accommodation truly ticked all the boxes — cleanliness, location, comfort, facilities, and value for money. Everything was well-maintained, neat, and thoughtfully prepared to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The host went above and beyond, always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed, and the staff were friendly, respectful, and efficient. We really appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. It felt like a home away from home, and we’d definitely love to stay here again!"
"The staff, especially the manager Johnny, were outstanding and always ready to help/assist. Even the amicable owner was reachable and would ensure that guests were well taken care of. We also loved having breakfast while admiring the waves and morning sun. Walking on the beach everyday was a must and the sound of waves was very soothing. Although quite basic, Giraffe is a great place to just chill. Hotel also has a speed-boat and can organize the trip to Bazaruto and other islands."
