I was in Tofo for three weeks, but spent only 3 days here, because I found something cheaper. However I came back to the bar, to hang out with people there and play pool, but the management gave me a hard time, trying to guilt trip me for having left their place. They were generally just rude, and people I... More

we planned to spend some days in fatima's nest - after the first night we realized that there were some mice and rats in our room, too. also the fact that the whole bed was wasted by bedbugs induced us to leave the lodge just one night after check-in. the staff is very friendly and also the served food is...

these people don't care about anything, they quoted us a price and when we wanted to pay they had suddenly increased the price and no amount of arguing with them or telling them it was bad customer service could change their mind. the staff even said to me this is mozambique, what are you going to do about it. the...

I stayed here in 2006 and now again in Dec 2012. They have spend more money on the place and its a treat. If you are into backpacking then this is it. They isn't any room service but its clean and good value. However if you are a family and noise at night is an issue then don't stay here.... More

Best advice,bring your own tent,food etc and you will have an awesome time.location,bar and atmosphere is great and most of the folk are good.avoid staying in dorms not just at fats but anywhere in Africa.the best beach I've ever been to.watch out for blue bottles,they sting like mad.fatima,the owner is nice.

I am a little surprised to see such terrible reviews for this place because my 2 friends and I loved it, and most of my other friends that have visited. Fatima's is THE place to stay in Tofo. The caveat is if you go during the "on" season, I have heard it can be a mess. Not clean, not enough... More

This place is gorgeous. A friend and I stayed at this place in May 2012. The sunrises/sunsets are stunning; you're right on the beach! The food was great, beer was cold, and listening to the ocean at night was amazing. Showers were apart from the rooms, and weren't sparkly clean, but definitely not gross. The other people staying at this... More

Positives: the place is right on the beach, food is OK (Seafood platter is reasonably good value) and probably the best place to stay if you are a solo traveller looking to meet other likeminded travellers. But that's about it. Let's move on to the negatives.. The dorm itself was pretty basic for the price - mosquito nets and communal... More

It's got a great location, right on the beach, but that's about it. VERY over-priced for what you get (our dorm had rats and bedbugs!), and the staff are pretty awful, always trying to pressure you to do tours and sign up for activities. DO NOT take the shuttle offered from Maputo, it is twice what you pay if you... More
