Power plugs could be more practical

Good portion and very tasteful

Breakfast wasn't quite what it was advertised as. But having stayed in Malawi for 7 weeks I understand how challenging it is for hotels to provide. Just need to say it from the start. Probably expensive for what it was.

Very pretty hotel and lovely garden. Staff were great.

Only one negative was the cockroach in my room.

Lovely small and comfortable hotel. Lots of interesting African artefacts. Food was excellent.

When the power went out after dark, it would be nice to have a battery light for walking back and forth to reception and to the parts of the suite without generator power, like the bathroom. In the suite with a second floor bedroom, it would be nice to have a second fan. The airport shuttle was very expensive.

The staff were excellent and very helpful, especially Joseph, in the restaurant.

Restaraunt were not on the ball as often menu reduced

Peaceful

When there are power cuts there's a generator to provide light but unfortunately there's not enough waterpressure for the shower.

Africa House is very conveniently located just off the main road leading to the airport. It's very quiet and they have ample parking space. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. I skipped breakfast as I left very early but I did have dinner which was fine.

The water in swimming pool was on very green on some days, it was a small pool, but one person could swim up and down the length of it.

The calm and green environment and relatively few rooms (i.e., guests) made it a very pleasant place to stay and have meetings wih colleagues on the terrase.

Hotel feels a bit outdated and beds are quite uncomfortable, with a metal bar in the middle under the mattress.

The garden is beautiful and the location is good. Staff is kind and helpful.

Facilities are a little bit dated, pool water looked murky, had a lot of mosquitoes and needed to use spray in evenings. Very limited options too on television, which did not have clear pictures

Friendly staff

Stayed in December 2024

The rooms (not just mine) have very limited natural lighting (no direct sunlight comes in). Because of this, my room was not only dark but also quite damp (triggered my rhinitis). The breakfast – and the food in general – was also quite poor. Cleaning could also be much better (both in the room and external grads, including the pool).

Staff is absolutely lovely and external areas are pleasant.

The room needed a rail on the stairs as steps were steep.

Location is great

Africa House is a wonderful place for having a relaxed and pleasant stay in Lilongwe, with a green and chilled garden. Superfriendly and helpful staff, and comfortable rooms. Restaurant offers great food and very friendly service. I can highly recommend the Africa House!

The only thing I can fault were the towels, everything else was perfect

Beautiful hotel, with chic, spacious, airy design - shared spaces were stunning

Stayed in February 2024

My stay at Africa House has been my best stay in Malawi so far. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the building, pool, and grounds were beautiful and well kept, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The best sleep I've had in months!

My tv gave me problems no instructions maybe cos I’m an old man🥴

A hotel with a lot of character and confirtable

I stayed at Africa House a couple of years ago, and my memory from then sort of exceeded the reality on the ground this time. Unfortunately, my bathroom had a hard-to-ignore odor when I arrived. I didn't manage to get on the free wifi at any point during the stay, had to use my hotspot. A couple of rugs on the cement floors in the rooms would help with keeping feet warm and clean from (normal levels of) dust. Also, having staff at the front desk after 4 PM would be so helpful. There are a lot of things that can pop up after 4pm that require the help of a staff person. At least a note to say where to find some assistance after 4pm would be great. The staff were really welcoming, I just couldn't find them when I needed to. Also, hot tip: I would recommend booking directly with the lodge. I had to change from four days to three days and booking.com had already charged me for four days, so no change possible/no refund could be given. But I think if I had booked with the lodge directly, they may have been more flexible.

Location excellent, especially for easy airport access and access to other meeting hotels and restaurants/bars. Price is great. Bed was very comfy and shower was hot with great pressure. I also like the gym access - nothing fancy but definitely enough for me for 3 days.
