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    Hotel feels a bit outdated and beds are quite uncomfortable, with a metal bar in the middle under the mattress.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

    Not cheap, but prices are relatively high in Lilongwe anyway. You have to pay for (excellent) Wi-Fi, but that seems to be a general rule in Lilongwe. The swimming pool is smaller than the pictures suggest.

    Very nice, stylishly decorated hotel and beautiful garden. Many nice corners to sit in. Quiet. Perfect place to relax. Beautiful rooms with excellent bed and shower.

    Some items not available on the dinner/lunch menu. Service quite slow but that's partly the vibe of the place.

    Pretty basic, not enough selection for breakfast and small portions.

    Great location, comfy bed; a few small changes/upgrades could really make the place top-notch!

    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.

    WiFI is a must for the business traveller. Perhaps better in main hotel, I was in one of the adjoining rooms, but just very poor, had to go to main hotel to make calls. Usually relatively comfortable but my bed was like cement.

    As usual, good ambience, realtively attentive staff.

    Noisy bar guests (not sure if they were hotel guests at all) arriving at 10pm for drinks, loud barking of neighbors‘ dog very close to the room. Needs a bit of maintenance to bring it to the standard it was before the pandemic but Covid took it‘s toll on everyone in the tourism industry & of course Africa House is no exception.

    Spacious, friendly staff, close to the airport
