About this place Madamz Bed & Breakfast Guest house Gaborone

Madamz Bed & Breakfast is a guest house in Block 7 (Peolwane), a residential district of Gaborone, Botswana's capital. It is mainstream lodging listed as gay-friendly, not an LGBTQ+ guest house, and its Google rating of 3.9 from over a hundred reviews points to a simple, mid-range stay. Botswana's courts struck down the colonial-era ban on same-sex relations in 2019, but public attitudes remain conservative, so most visitors keep things low-key. Block 7 is outside the centre, so plan on taxis or a rental car. Call ahead to confirm rates and whether breakfast is included.

The staff were polite and friendly. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable but since it was the weekend, it was too noisy and didn’t have proper rest.
