We loved the beautiful house and hospitality! We arrived late but that was no problem. The host was very friendly and even helped us with getting a sim card on a Sunday and brought us to the car rental office. Would highly recommend!

Ufulu Gardens Hotel, hotel in Lilongwe

Almost all the staff were faultless, the room was very nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent with a very good choice, especially for breakfast. The gardens and surroundings are very beautiful. Perfect for a stop over on our way to the north but could easily have stayed longer. Happy to be returning at the end of our trip.

    We have been talking about this, because we would return without hesitation. The welcome is as good as anywhere I have ever stayed – it is small and it has the feel of a family home. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything is done with a smile, and the staff will universally go the extra mile. Our laundry was donedaily, and when the vegetarian asked for a different main course, it was willingly provided. The honesty bar is a pleasure – and whoever chooses the Wine knows what they’re doing. You will enjoy it here.

    I liked that the apartment is large with 4 bedrooms. It has a washer and a clothes drier as well as enough utensils and appliances in the kitchen. I loved this apartment, i will definitely be back. It had everything we needed as a family with 3 kids.

    The meals were great. We especially loved the breakfast. But best was the kidness of the staff and the manager/owner. When we arrived in Lilongwe, unfortunately our luggage went missing at the airport. We told the owner and he immediatly called the airport himself to inquire about our bags and also gave us the contact details of someone working at the airport. This was more than just good service! So much willingness to help - thanks a lot!

    This is a decent hotel for the price but needs more attention to upkeep and maintenance. They have a good chinese restaurant and it is quiet and private most of the time unless there is function on.

    Located very close to Airport (about 30 mnts drive ) We‘d love to stay more. We had a great welcome and were escorted to the room. The hotel has two family friendly pools a restaurant which offers a continental range. We were astonished by the presentation of our dishes and the taste of them. The staff was attentive to make our stay a highly memorable one. Highly recommended this place.

    You could stay here and be within the compound only and you would have enough wine beer and food to be very happy. Evening food is traditional and very cheap. Staff are brilliant, laundry service was very cheap (mk500 item and same day owing to the Malawian sun) On Saturday & Sunday there are often family events where locals use the facilities, a sign to me that the manager Gerald and the owner Titan are well though of.

    Only stayed one day; however watching the animals at play was great; service good; down the road from the wildlife centre. Lilongwe is very spread out so will need taxi to visit attractions. The food was very good and affordable.
