Private room in Lilongwe

Peachcetric Warm house of Africa

UlliRating, 5 stars2 months ago

From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed by my host, Elisabeth. Definitely one of the most warm, kind, and helpful people I’ve met through Airbnb. Elisabeth went above and beyond to make sure my stay was not only comfortable, but memorable. The property itself is tucked away in a peaceful and safe neighbourhood, with a fantastic setting. The large garden is perfect for morning coffee, reading, or just admiring the beauty of Malawi. It truly felt like a home away from home. Everything is within walking distance – cozy restaurants, shops, and bars to have a well earned drink after a long week of work. Despite being so conveniently located, it’s incredibly quiet, and I always felt very secure. If you’re looking for a place that blends hospitality, comfort and authentic Malawian charm, this is it. I’ll definitely be back!

Hotel room in Nkhata Bay

Room on the Lake at Soul Rebel

HenryRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The location is fantastic — right on the water — and the room is even better. My friend and I couldn’t believe the view from our room the entire time we were there. It’s super cozy and the ceiling fan is really the cherry on top. The staff are incredible. Guacamole (the manager) is a legend and everyone else is wonderful. The food is delicious, the burger and pizzas in particular. You can even order food and have it delivered to your room. They also offer local boat tours via Sunset Tours; $20 a person for a half-day boat tour complete with snorkeling, cliff jumping, and even a close up of fish eagles swooping in and grabbing fish. The host is also incredible, by far the most helpful host I’ve ever encountered on Airbnb. Extremely helpful and kind. The price is also a total bargain. There’s also an atm only a 5 min walk away if you need cash. Simply put, this place is Heaven on earth.

The guest house

BrendaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

After 5 weeks of travelling in East Africa we wanted to upgrade from the very basic places we'd been staying. Mohammad's place was just what we needed before our long trip back to Canada. I have stayed in dozens of Airbnb's, ran my own in Canada for 7 years and cannot say enough about this place. If any of you have travelled in East Africa before, you can probably relate to the usual problems at most of the accommodations. In my 17 trips to EA & even in comparison to Airbnb's here, this place was one of my favourites. It was tastefully decorated, spotless, had a great design, beautiful, peaceful surroundings and supplied everything you might need and more. My favourite part of the stay was meeting and getting to know Mohammad and his family. Truly, outstanding people who were hard to say goodbye to. We walked into town for groceries, walked to the local market and enjoyed some great food in the area. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling to Malawi!!
