For nearly 100 USD (2950 MET) as single you get this: The smallest open bathroom which is possible (just for slim persons), don't expect too much (hot) water. Very small and simple rooms like in a backpacker camp. Also matching one small slice wrapped cheese and 8 gram butter for breakfast. Same fixed price for one and two persons in double room (no discussion if you are single, the other rooms are free, and you stay for many days).Lack of interest, unfriendliness and noisy stuff are for free... Ok, in case of urgent need a free and not expensive room, it could be possible, but then was this happened:
Some days before an information-paper was layed out - date of mosquito extermination. I forgot this because I had big problems on toilette all the time... Than starts the attack without last warning. Thick white toxic powder fog was deafening pressed into my room, although the door was looked. I don't get enough air, so I want to jump from the balcony. But there was also the poison injection... I was crying, to stop - nothing. In the floor you couldn’t see more than a half meter forward. I grabbed a wet towel and grope step for step to the exit. I was crying for help because you don't get air and loose the orientation. No answer. After an endless time I reached the exit - but it was locked!! By last power I found a backside exit. I was running out of the hotel. Nobody outside, so I throw the wet towel of the hotel's wall. Ok, in an unprofessional and bad hotel, this could be happen. But later I get the tip from the reception-woman:
I should pay 10 USD for the escape towel!! (Somebody grabbed the old threadbare towel, sorry). I was horrified again, and refused. This woman wants to call the police and don't allowed the taxi driver to go to my flight. So I paid, to get my flight in time... No really sorry, nothing. Information before should be enough. She is "just doing her work". I the next days I get problems with breathing, the eyes and my skin of face and arms (free parts) was peeling completely away. Actually the hotel has to pay for the dangerous attack of my healthy, but ok - this is not Europe. But this behaviour could’t accepts in Africa and everywhere. It's a shame for Maputo!
