Mosquito net is efficient but looks dirty on top.

I previously read reviews saying the mosquito nets were too small but they have been replaced by bigger ones and it is all good. Restaurant could offer vegetarian options when i was there. I had "hot" water in the shower a bit after 7AM. Breakfast was good. Restaurant stops taking orders at 8pm. They could arrange airport transport for me for 66.000 (the amount I had left in local currency). Coffee available in the room.

Nice, green place with friendly staff

Food is not good at all. Coffee is the worst I’ve had in the country - and the tiny cup for 5000.

Great large chalet room. Far from town but that’s what I wanted.

A few issues with water supply. There was dirt/debris on bedding when we arrived. Should maybe have been checked prior to check in but understandable that it would occur after room had been cleaned

Great staff. Beautiful surroundings

Beds and mosquito nets ( they hang on body and face very claustrophobic and uncomfortable) Beds tiny in twin rooms and not great for adults or couples

Convenient Nice food and bar Nice staff

We stayed at Barefoot for 2 nights in the chalets. Property is beautiful but far away from town, expect at least 30 mins drive. Breakfast was standard. Rooms could be cleaner.

Mosquito nets aren't over beds well, so I couldn't use them as they would touch face and pillows As they are single beds, they were cold with small bed duvet and only 1 blanket between two people for the time of year where temperature drops it would be good to have a blanket on each bed

Great location for our travels Great staff Good food Brilliant value

My main complaint is the dirty rooms. I totally understand basic furnishings, however I was not impressed with the cleanliness. How hard it is clean windowsills ot toilet seats from dust just before the guests arrive? Also, there was no hot water in shower and lots of spiderwebs crossing pathways around the property. It could have been an easy fix. Unfortunately I would not feel comfortable recommending the place to others.

The lodge was conveniently nearby Lilongwe. We just needed a night on a road from Zambia to Lake Malawi.

square frames for the mosquito nets would be a great improvement

Food in general was pretty great at a decent price

It is located out of town, so if you don’t have own transport - 20min walk to the main road to catch a mini-bus or 10-15eur taxi (40eur from the airport). Frequent power cuts are common in Malawi, but they give you a powerful torch.

Nice idyllic surroundings with greenery, good water pressure (hot), kettle in the room is handy. I had chicken tikka masala for dinner and somewhat unexpectedly it was very good! I was continuing to Zambia, so was convenient to catch a mini-bus towards the border

One of the light bulbs in the room was really dim, making it difficult to see. I traveled with a friend, so it would have been nicer to have 2 twin sized beds; however, the couch was really comfortable.

Basically clean and comfortable for a good price. Food was good.

Nothing

The situation in the woodland. You can have breakfast sitting out among the trees watching the birds

Just minor things: The bed could use a new matress soon. It's a bit soft in the middle for my liking. The shower could use a curtain, to avoid setting the bathroom under water.

Great breakfast included, super friendly and helpful staff and owners. The chalet is situated in a diverse, green and lush forest park, with lots of birds around. Nice walking possibilities to the nearby forests. Well equipped bar and restaurant with everything you might want. An unexpected plus was the included tea service everyday in the afternoon.
