About this place Sun City Accomodation Maputo

Sun City Accommodation is a small mainstream guesthouse on Rua Joaquim de Lemos in Maputo, bookable through Booking.com. It is gay-friendly in the general sense, not a gay venue, and beyond a 4.0 Google rating from around 100 reviews there are few verified details about its rooms or facilities. Ask about air conditioning, water and power backup, and airport transfers when you book, as these vary a lot between Maputo guesthouses. Same-sex activity has been legal in Mozambique since 2015, but public affection is still uncommon, so keep a low profile. Use registered taxis or ride apps after dark.
