Farmstay in Malawi

"The Burley house is a wonderful small hotel with highly professional and friendly staff. It has the best coffee in Malawi available 24x7. And the food is quite nice."

"This hotel is closed and has ceased trading. When we arrived it was closed up and a local lady said it was closed down. I’m still waiting for a refund from Hotels.com. Don’t book this hotel. "

"Ok. Work in progress "

"I stayed for two nights in a one bedroom "Delux Chalet" which had a nice patio so you could sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. The room was very nice with a draw-around mosquito net on the bed which I didn't use. The bathroom had been completely renovated with floor to ceiling ceramic tiles with a full-sized bathtub at one end and a large shower at the other end. The room is extremely quiet at night and only the sounds of ducks quacking in the morning...no roosters! The complimentary breakfast served in the dining room patio area is absolutely terrific. The fried Chombo fish is caught fresh in Lake Malawi about an hour away. I passed on the fish. The sausages are very tasty and the bacon is quite thick. There is a girl behind the buffet-style breakfast bar that will make you an omelette or an egg any way you want it. The hotel staff are very polite and accommodating. For local transportation I highly recommend "B &C" taxi. This is also the same driver the hotel uses whenever guests need a taxicab. I would caution anyone arriving at the Lilongwe airport to not use any of the cab drivers that hang out at the airport. Their cars are run down, their fuel guages are all well below the "empty" line, and they charge too much for a ride to Lilongwe. You should not pay more than 60,000 Kwatchas for the 35-minute ride from the airport to town. Better that you call the front desk at the Lilongwe Sunbird Hotel and ask them to send their driver to the airport to pick you up."

"Stunning location."

"The staff here is friendly and attentive. It’s a beautiful property with a great pool, gym, and spa. Massage was fantastic. "

"The staff were very pleasant and very accommodating. Went out of their way to make us feel special. The rooms were very spacious and a great breakfast. "

"Always my favorite property to stay at in Lilongwe. The monkeys are an added bonus."

"Lovely old hotel with lots of character. Staff are polite and helpful"
