About this place Jate Guest House

Jate Guest House is listed as a small guesthouse in Maseru, the capital of Lesotho. It is a mainstream property marked as gay-friendly in our data; we have no further detail on rooms or facilities, and it has only a handful of Google reviews (11, averaging 3.9). There is no website on file, so call ahead to confirm availability, exact location and payment options. Same-sex relations were decriminalised in Lesotho in 2012, but the scene is not public, so be discreet. Maseru is small and most visitors need a car or taxi to get around.
