Mmapula went above and beyond with getting me a good place to stay, as due to an area wide power cut, I could not use most of the services of the location. This level of service is exceptional and I would pay more if I could afford it.

I arrived at 5 a.m., and they accommodated me. I will never forget this. The room was comfortable, and the whole accommodation was beautiful. The overall communication was great. They take card payments, which isn't always the case in Botswana!

Our experience at Jayla in Maun was truly exceptional, thanks to our wonderful host, Mmapula. She was incredibly helpful with every request we had and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Mmapula provided us with directions, local tips, and great recommendations for all the best spots in Maun. Her kindness and hospitality made our visit unforgettable. We’ll definitely choose Jayla again for our next vacation in Maun!

“You found your place in Maun!”
Perfect, perfect, perfect! Don’t look any further, you have found your place! There’s a hiccup on booking that shows double rooms as single rooms, but you can definitely book it for two people! They offer delicious meals, breakfast, laundry, safe parking, good WiFi and a warm welcome. Yes, it’s out of town, but if you have your own vehicle, no problem. If not, there’s really no reason to leave this place because everything you need is there, even tours! They offer the exact same prices as everyone else, so why go to town to book elsewhere? We booked a tour with them and it was fantastic.

“Homestay where you can feel like at home”
Mmapula was an amazing and kind host. She helped us organize Moremi Game Drive and presented us other possible activities. She offers delicious food with vegetarian options. We felt like at home at Jayla Homestay. Its a great place to stay if you plan to visit Okavango.

“Lovely homestay in Maun”
We stayed one night at Jayla Homestay and it was excellent. We had two rooms, both spacious, comfortable, and clean. You can cook your own meals if you wish, or enjoy the menu they offer. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming — not just in a host–guest way, but also by chatting and sharing experiences. There’s also a common area where you can relax or meet other travelers. Totally recommended!
