Riverside Apartments

Simama Hotel

"Simama Hotel was terrible on multiple levels. The rooms including the carpet, linen and curtains were filthy. Requested a change of linen and it was worse. Discovered they did not even have a vacuum cleaner to deal with the dusty carpet. There were multiple occasions where our food was off, the meat was not fresh, I skipped meals because I did not want to risk food poisoning. We had cockroaches in the dinning area, on the tables, and what I believe were rodents in the ceiling. A health risk, emotional turmoil and certainly not worth your peace of mind. I must add though, the staff were friendly and did try their best to make our stay a little bearable, but it was clear that their hands were tied, they did not have the resources to improve the situation."

Barefoot Lodge and Safaris - Malawi

"I had a very pleasant stay at Barefoot. Chalet was lovely with fan, mosquito net and ability to make a hot drink. A good breakfast was served. WiFi is available in the public area the bar. I hope to return again I had experienced car trouble and the owner assisted me in finding a mechanic at the university and I was accompanied by Akim to the mechanic."

Burley House - Guest House

"Always good. Huge beds. Crisp linen sheets. Nice food. Good service. Carpet in rooms. Good food. Lovely garden. Stayed here many times and always impressed. Small enough to be intimate but luxurious enough to challenge bigger Lilongwe hotels."

Stadium View Executive Guest House

Riverside Hotel and Conference Centre

"This hotel is very run down. The rooms are shabby, the bathrooms are not very clean. Water comes out of the taps brown. The restaurant is halal so if you want a drink you have to go to the sports bar next door. The swimming g pool is empty with broken furniture around it. The whole experience was not pleasant I’m afraid."

Eco-House

"It's so-so, first look at the price and then talk about the overall"

Nelly's Guesthouse

"Great value for money. The staff were friendly and down to eart. The meals were. One small suggestion: changing bed sheets every day for the same guest isn’t very environmentally friendly. For stays longer than one night, there’s really no need to change the bedding daily unless the customer asks for it. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would be happy to return."
