Disappointing

Positives: Staff were friendly, WiFi was strong and it is close'ish to the airport. Negatives: Everything else. The room was very very tiny (toilet in the shower) and mouldy. There was only a sheet, but it was cold enough in July to need a blanket. Fairly pricey taxi ride from downtown. Breakfast buffet was cold (including cooked items, like eggs).

Model simple Accomodationwithin a freindly Environ

The place is managed by owner in a hands-on style. He is very understanding. For example...I was booked to stay for 2 days...Monay 12th and 13th March 2018. Unfortunately I missed my flight from Nairobi on Monday and this was rescheduled to Tuesday. In the confusion that ensued I did not contact the Guest house for resheduling cos I thought it was too late for that. So this was a case of no a case of "no show". So upon arrival I was received by the caretakerand shown to my room. When I met the.freindly and kind proprietor the following day he said he understood and allowed me to stay for my two nights at no extra cost. Surprised that I was not going to be surcharged for no show, he intimated to me that he travels also and expects others to be similarly understanding under such circumstances. The waiters are very kind and well groomed. I would definitely recommend the place for one seeking a quete, reasonably priced, clean accommondation outside the the husle and bui I would recommend the place for anybody looking for a quete reasonably priced accommondation away from the hasle and basle of the city.

Nice little hidden location close to beach n malls

Place was nicely located... About 1 km from beachfront. The yard was nice with trees. I booked into a double bed bungalow which is very very tiny but was lucky to be upgraded to a family room even though I was alone. Owner and staff were very helpful except for the security personnel that could not hear the car arrive at the gate. Pool was very tiny but nice braai area. I wish at least 1 free bottle of water was offered in the room at check in. Bed and pillows were comfortable and airconditioning worked great. Room mini fridge did not work but the main fridge in the kitchen was available and staff never hesitated to assist in need. Early morning was nice full of singing birds... Quite relaxing and also meals are available on site. Breakfast was nice and quite enough including u got the eggs done thw way u requested. Overall yes it is Very Good value for money. Will definitely return.

Liv Inn Guest House was really great

My family and I had an amazing stay. On the night of our arrival, there were some challenges with the number of rooms we had booked, but the manager of the Guest House sorted it out quickly and even upgraded one of our rooms. The staff was really friendly. They even organised us a tour guide by the name of Emmanuel. He was the best and really ensured that we enjoyed our stay. We also got to chill next to the pool playing games as a family. It was truly amazing! I would recommend Liv Inn Guest House.

Rui and his team are extremely helpful and considerate. They saved our Maputo holiday which is nearly ruined by South African Airway strike. The location is actually more preferable to the city locations for holiday. The charpas (local transportation) and hired cars are easily accessible.

Great place to stay while in Maputo!

I experienced in my few weeks visiting five countries in Southern Africa, that the best option is to stay at a guesthouse, rather than a hotel. And Liv Inn Guest House on the outskirts of Maputo is no exception to that new-found knowledge. Liv Inn provides a very affordable, basic, clean and hospitable accomodation. It is like an oasis near the Ā«waterparkĀ» or Ā«agua marinaĀ» two minutes by car from the beach front. A taxi would cost you from 600 - 800 Meticais from the center of the city. Only about 15 minutes drive to the airport. The host and owner, Mr Rui Talaia, is an American ex-pat with Portuguese roots. He is a very friendly, serviceminded and nice person. And he definitely makes you feel like a very welcomed guest. Very safe and secluded place. Liv Inn is indeed good value for the money šŸ˜Ž!

Best value in Maputo!!

We decided to stay here primarily based on price. Boy were we surprised! Yes the rooms are small (read tiny) BUT - THEY HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED!!!! Staff were super friendly and helpful. You are a bit out of the city - but if you have your own car this is not a issue. Breakfast is basic but very, very good quality. We did have dinner one evening - it was OK - but then again this is not a restaurant this is an excellent budget accommodation venue.

Perfect no frills - great value for money

LivInn is the perfect place to stay if you are just in Maputo for work, you just need to sleep or focus on work, you don't need all the frills of a big hotel. but you want it to be clean, quiet, organized and friendly. Most guest houses are more like hostels, this one is not. The cubicles in which you sleep seem very small but they have been smartly designed and are actually quite comfortable. The common living area is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is good and the staff and the owner are friendly and helpful. The only challenge is that taxis are a bit pricey if you don't have your own car, but LivInn does get you at least the best rates.

It is far from the city center and 1.5 kms from the ocean. Nothing around there. But the hotel does have a decent menu and a dipping pool.
