Blue Gum Cottage - Likoma Island - Lake Malawi

EmmaRating, 5 stars27 months ago

This is the best airbnb i've ever stayed in. The cottage is beautiful, plus you get breakfast and a free transfer off the ferry to the hotel. Chef Chima is amazing and cooks whatever you want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the place is well located on a street with markets. There is also always free tea and coffee on demand in the house and drinking water, couldn't fault a think and the service was superb. We booked 3 extra nights because qe loved it so much!

We had a great stay at the Thorntree house! Our first evening we ate dinner while a hippo strolled around the garden! The house is conveniently located near the Falls. Claire helped us organize activities and dinners and Ben was super helpful!

Room on the Lake at Soul Rebel

HenryRating, 5 stars3 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 exterior of a round thatched-roof cottage is visible, featuring a wooden door and decorative tiles beside it. A wooden deck surrounds the space, offering seating areas with chairs. Lush greenery and a clear blue sky are in the background, enhancing the natural setting.

Bandali Lodge - Room 5

RobertRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The lodge was fantastic. Great little bar and seating area. Plenty of space to sunbath if you don’t want to walk to the beach or a hotel pool area. There are trips available. These are run by locals from the village and are well worth the money. There is also an excellent gift shop in the village which is run as a cooperative.

A modern bedroom features a spacious bed with crisp linens, accented by a gray throw. Stylish lighting enhances the room's ambiance, while a decorative rug adds texture. A window allows natural light to fill the space, complementing the neutral color palette of the walls.

Ace Hotel: On-Point, Always

CorneliusRating, 5 stars22 months ago

Lweendo’s place is a very beautiful and neat hotel, easy to locate and situated in a beautiful residential area of Lusaka. The hotel is also a walking distance to one of Lusaka’s favorite top pub, Grand daddies, where you can relax and socialize. The rooms are very spacious and quiet, with a working area for those traveling for work. Their meals are great, especially the breakfast👌🏾 Be it for work or holiday, I strongly recommend it to anyone looking to have some quality time in Lusaka because true to their slogan, their service is always on point!

An outdoor area features a thatched-roof structure beside a small pool. Lush green grass surrounds the pool, and trees are visible in the background. Several shaded seating areas are present, creating a relaxed space for guests to enjoy the natural surroundings.

The Stanley Suite

NavdeepRating, 5 stars24 months ago

Loved my room. It was spacious and nicely decorated and very clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful at all times. Joyce kept my room super clean and Masara was always so helpful with anything that came up. Internet worked super. Highly recommend all to stay here. Very close to a big supermarket, Pick n Pay, and Nando's for a quick bite.

Jollyboys - Twin Ensuite, Budget Luxury, Air Con

JulieRating, 5 stars17 months ago

Absolutely fantastic hostel that caters for all types of stay from dorms to the air conditioned twin with an en-suite we stayed in. Kim always replied promptly to any queries we had. ALL of the staff were super friendly and helpful and always smiling. Small kitchen area which was cleaned daily by the staff. Great bar which also provided a nice bar menu for breakfasts and dinners. On Thursday nights there is dinner provided for guests free of charge and fun games (beer pong organised) Would definitely recommend staying here and we for sure will be coming back. Thank you Jollyboy’s Team, you were all amazing. Love from Jules & Nathan (UK, Isle of Wight)

Okara Private Lodge

IsabellaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! The location was perfect with stunning views. The cottage is very cozy, well-equipped and had everything we needed including a kitchen stocked with almost all the necessary utensils. The caretaker, Mukoma Charles, was absolutely wonderful, attentive and always ready to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in Nyanga, this is a perfect spot.

A safari tent is nestled among trees, surrounded by lush green grass. A stone patio with steps leads to the entrance, where a wooden table and benches are partially shaded by the branches overhead. The tent blends harmoniously into the natural setting.

The place is great for a price given. Having kitchen available and daily cleaning was great. Location is good and the host was very responsive. The only issue was the wifi in our room but our host was ready to move us to another room without issues

It's a nice place in a very convenient location close to East Park mall. Kevin is super quick to reply to any questions and really flexible - especially when we had a missed flight and arrived a day late.

Beautiful lodge by the Zambezi. Great value for money. Communication with Wayne went very smooth - Wayne is very friendly, responsive and accomodating. We were hosted by Charity and team who were most welcoming. We very much enjoyed the vegetarian meals she prepared for us. A unique place we would definitely recommend!

Tonga house@16

TanjaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Tonga House is a beautiful place to unwind and have relaxing time! All was very clean, comfortable and perfect for our little family. Also Msuna Island is a special and wonderful place to stay! Only a bit sad that the river was almost dry on our side of the island, we are hoping it comes back to its natural state...
