    Breakfast, was a little too small and disappointing though there were plenty of different options to choose from. Also I do think their exchange rate is abit unfair if you pay by card, advise to pay in cash.

    I had a great time, came to unwind after a two weeks of hiking around the country. The rooms were great, well equipped and well designed, and the shower was absolutely fantastic! Staff were also very nice and pleasant

    Beautiful boutique hotel with comfortable rooms, lovely common spaces, and friendly and attentive staff. The pool and garden area is a nice touch. Restaurant is simple but quality and food arrives quickly. Wifi is strong for work and available throughout the property. Shower is hot.

    Quite expensive, particularly for Malawi. Some of the information I received via email from staff regarding where I could buy bus tickets etc. was incorrect which was frustrating as I then had to find a taxi to take me to the correct place.

    A nice property and friendly staff. I had to leave early so I am unable to comment on the breakfast.

    Such a peaceful , beautiful small boutique property in a leafy, green residential area of Lilongwe. The hotel is decorated with stylish local Malawi wood carvings and art . All of the staff and owners (on site ) so friendly and helpful and restaurant on site convenient with tasty food . Good wifi

    The 2 things that disappointed me were that this property has a curfew. If you return from your day after 10 pm you have to wait for someone to wake up to open the door for you. The was extremely annoying. And the towels in the room were not nice. And you use the same towel your whole stay.

    Location and the property.

    Too many mosquitoes. Also the management had to be asked to switch on the generator as it was very hot and needed to have the AC on.

    Peace and tranquility and fact it’s a small place.

    There were no channels on the TV and it was not possible to watch a little movie or something since it was raining for a few days during our stay.

    The food was great and the service even better. It was quiet and we were able to enjoy some quality time with family.

    The AC in my room was a bit weak, but you can ask them to turn it on for you before you arrive and your room will be perfectly cool.

    Customer service is always top notch. They make you feel so very welcome!

    Large walk-in shower, but if little water comes out of the shower head, it's of little use. This can be easily fixed, so I hope they will work on that. I reported it when checking out. Breakfast takes some time. Not an immediate problem if you know in advance.

    Very nice rooms. Very good bed. The hotel is beautifully decorated. It is really a pleasure to stay in the patio. Nice location.
