Nothing

Beautiful rooms with big balcony overlooking the pool. Lovely communal area and great yummy food to be ordered. Beautifully and artistically decorated

- If you are a late riser, getting breakast is a bit tricky. There is no real control of who has taken breakfast or not, so when I tried to take my breakfast at 9.30 there were no plates or staff around and I had to ask for support. It will be better if they have a control of who has taken the breakfast and who has not, so no one is left out. Breakfast is supposed to be between 7 a.m. and 10. - I had lots of late meetings over the week with my clients and one of the days I arrived at 23.30 there was nobody at the door and despite ringing various times and knocking on the door (and calling the hotel WhatsApp), nobody answered. I was fortunately with friends so I had a place to sleep. When I arrived the next day, they had not noticed that I had spent the whole night out. I was told the guard was supposed to open but I did not see him and my friend and I remained at the door for about 30 minutes. This is a massive issue in terms of security and emergencies, as if you have no place to sleep you are left out in the middle of the night... plus if you are inside and have an emergency, it is impossible to leave the house as the doors had two massive locks. The hotel apologized but I still think this needs to be reviewed carefully.

Breakfast options were great and it was always prepared in time. The staff is really attentive and rooms are spacious and clean. Bed is great and the pool is a great advantage although not as useful during the winter. Check-in and check out was really good and they were always happy to help. I wish I had tried the massages!

It would have been nice to have a mini fridge and espresso machine in our room to keep drinks cool and have access to tea and coffee at our leisure.

I cannot recommend Joli Guesthouse enough. From the moment their taxi driver picked us up from the airport, the service of the staff was beyond excellent. My husband and I were visiting his son who lives in Maputo so we had him over every day and the staff were so accommodating to all three of us. The room was beautiful (king suite) and they cleaned and changed the sheets every morning while we were at breakfast. There was a continental breakfast but you could order something else from the breakfast menu at no additional charge. The pool and outdoor area was clean and beautiful. The staff would set out tea and homemade cakes or cookies in the evenings and there was a small mini fridge of drinks and snacks in the common area. We would absolutely stay again.

It is also located in a lovely area that is close to restaurants and a promenade, and also felt very safe. The room is very comfortable and serviced daily, and we also enjoyed the breakfast options they had. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Would definitely stay there again!

there were no mosquito nets and it was very strange to me, and in the survey they asked me to fill, one question was about the nets, they were available in any other location we visited in Mozambique we were on 2nd floor and there is no lift, it was not a problem for us and there is a guy helping to bring luggage upstairs, but they should inform about it as not everybody can afford all the steps

location is perfect, in the area where all the embassies are, therefore quiet and very safe, there are quite a few restaurants nearby that we could reach by walking. we had the suite on 2nd floor, there is a double bed and a sofa bed, balcony with chairs and a kitchen with all tools, nicely decorated, shower is working well Breakfast is nice, nothing special but they are slow in service pool is small with 2 sunbeds and chairs, it is under the sun only in the morning there is a front garden, the property is guarded as anywhere in Maputo, and reception ladies were very nice and available for any question if you wish to go to town centre, it is approx 10min by taxi or almost 1h by walk, but the area is definetely the best in Maputo

Super friendly staff and the hotel itself was an ideal boutique style hotel tucked away in a upmarket residential area. We used the complementarey bikes which was very nice as there wa lots to see close to the hotel. Breakfast was excellent.

a beautifully designed boutique hotel with exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent too with a very good choice of options.

Maybe staff could leave the costumers towel, if it’s not on the floor (like indicated) if no one asked for a change, leave it- be ecofriendly 😌 i came back from a long day, very late to look for staff and had no towel. Also consider being faster on the checkout, 15 minutes is too long.

Spacious, confy, someone was always available, quiet

A small workout area (perhaps outside/in front of the building) would be greatly appreciated.

I did not like the breakfast at all. We paid for 3 but only ate one. Please improve on this.

Staff is very friendly (Caroline and Gate Security stand out). Beds were very comfortable and the area is very safe.
