Sunbird Livingstonia Beach Hotel

Malawi is one of the most poor countries in the world. Keep this in mind, and you'll appreciate everything about your stay here ... beautiful lakefront, electricity (most of the time) and fairly reliable water. Air conditioning doesn't always work, because country-wide blackouts are common. Water is rationed. I've stayed here multiple times on project work for nonprofit organization. It's clean, safe, and comfortable. Service is friendly. Grateful to have a place a know is safe and comfortable as we work in partnership with the joyful people of Malawi.

Although the facilities are dated and the prices are quite high this was definitely one of the best experiences that we had during our month in Malawi. The staff and management went out of their way to make our experience more than comfortable and they were very professional in their conduct and truly a joy to spend time with while were there. The property including the grounds and the beach itself is absolutely gorgeous.

Great Place. Nice and very friendly hotel service staff

My stay was good. I wish the windows were not broken in my room. It was not possible to sleep well as we got all the noise from the lake front and the kitchen at the back. We reported and were told we would be compensated for the inconvenience but have not heard from the hotel yet. The pedal bin in the bathroom was also broken. The Hotel staff were very welcoming and polite and the beach was very clean - thank you.

Sunbird Livingstonia was a nice weekend stay to get away from work. We mainly wanted to visit Lake Malawi and this hotel is located right on the lake with its own beach. The staff at reception is friendly and helpful. Food service (breakfast / lunch / dinner) is okay with a nice sitting area and tables to eat meals. We also enjoyed the motorboat ride to the island and the motorboat guide was excellent. Overall a good experience.

We stayed at the Livingstonia for one night as a beach break during our Malawi holiday, travelling in a taxi from the Sunbird Lilongwe.. It would have been lovely if we could have stayed longer but time was limited. The setting is idyllic, right on the beach, looking out to the lake and a small island. The grounds are very attractive and the hotel pool is clean, blue and refreshing. Our room was a little thatched round house, with its own small sitting area at the front andcoverlooking the beach. Breakfast offered a very good range of food, including a full cooked breakfast. We took breakfast on the sun terrace overlooking the lake. Dinner was included in the price, which made the trip quite good value. Dinner was very good and the portions are generous.

Kamers zijn aan vernieuwing toe. Veel mieren in de kamer en het muggennet paste niet. Slechte service bij check-in en check-out, omdat zij vond dat wij moesten betalen, terwijl wij via Expedia hadden geboekt (volgens haar moesten wij een voucher hebben). Bar- en restaurantpersoneel was wel erg vriendelijk. Eten was goed, maar wel erg duur.

The place is beautifully located on the shores of Lake Malawi. Unfortunately, it was the season of high winds which meant we could not sit outside in the evening when it was blowing a gale. It's a bit on the pricey side too but it was convenient for a stay for two nights before flying back to UK. We left on the morning of our departure and cut it a bit fine with allowing only two hours to the airport.

エアコン設備が古く、熱い時期には不快であった。また、ホテルのスタッフからやる気が感じられない。ディナーメニューの大半が「作れない」と言った回答であった。チェックイン時にエクスペディアからの予約であり、代金を支払い済みである旨を説明していたのに、チェックアウト時にホテル代金を請求され、確認までに30分を要した。

good, adequate service, cooperative workers, fine, clean room but broken down airconditioning and bathroom needs restauration
