The house was spacious and the people working there were very kind and helpful.

At first our host was very kind and helpful until it came about the topic of paying. As the reservation said ‘pay at accommodation’ we assumed to pay in cash or otherwise via the app. As our host was not in the country so we made an agreement over the phone to pay in cash and leave it with the guard. After we left she changed her behavior telling me I had not paid enough money. She put my booking on a no show which was incorrect. I would not recommend booking this accommodation as the host is not straight about payment nor fair afterwards.

It is difficult to rate this accommodation. On the positive side, it is spacious, quiet, very clean and comfortable. The host seemed to be friendly and accommodating. The meals were very good. It is also very close to the airport, making it a good location for early flights.

We had booked 2 x one night stays, one at the beginning and one at the end of our Malawi trip. We stayed at this accommodation on arrival and liked it very much. However, a few days after we stayed, the host cancelled our second booking, saying she had received a longer booking that ran over our booked night. Whilst I can understand that the host wants the best financial deal for her, it means I would not recommend this accommodation for short stays as you might be left with nowhere to sleep. Another issue is that when we paid for our one night, we came to a mutually agreeable arrangement for payment. When she cancelled our second booking though, I received an odd private message, indirectly criticising me for our arrangement. At the time, the host didn’t hesitate and seemed very happy with our arrangement. This left me with a bad feeling. One final point is that the information given about the accommodation’s location isn’t correct. The map shows it as closer to the centre, and the ‘distance from’ section has it in the centre. It is in fact, just 4 minutes from the airport, quite a distance from the centre of Blantyre.

Beautiful gardens and pool. And nice design effort on the interior

The interior of the property needs more Maintenance and cleaning. Door handles falling off, dirty bathrooms and kitchen. However the owner and manager were very helpful and apologetic

Sehr viel Platz und wunderschön innen wie außen

Es gab doch kein Frühstück, das WLAN war unzuverlässig und die Küche eher sporadisch mit Töpfen und Besteck/Utensilien zum Kochen ausgestattet

The property is nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and the host was responsive. I would recommend this place if staying in Blantyre. It’s near Chileka airport as well which is a plus.
