Nice setting, great service. However dinner was a game of two halves, mum's supposedly mild spinach and corn dish was very hot and very good...but my extra spicy chicken curry was bland and un-inspiring. Maybe the instructions were lost between the table and the kitchen.

I had an amazing experience staying at Woodlands Lilongwe, a beautiful lodge and campsite set in a central nature reserve. The setting feels peaceful and close to nature, yet it’s conveniently located in the city. The lodge has a lovely swimming pool and an excellent on-site restaurant that serves both delicious Indian and Malawian cuisine. The food was a highlight of my stay! The service staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Woodlands Lilongwe for anyone visiting the city — whether you’re looking for a relaxing stay, good food, or a nature escape right in the heart of Lilongwe.

Food is good 5* Accommodations 2* Problems with accommodation. Sink has two taps for hot and cold. Need 1 tap so can mix hot and cold. Unable to use two taps because the hot water will burn you. No soap, shampoo, etc caddy in shower stall, all placed near sink, need soap shampoo etc when using shower not sink. No heater, need this in winter nights. You advertise balconies, what's the point if no chairs on balcony. Waited 10 mins for receptionist to arrive to front desk to check us in. Breakfast tables not ready at 8am, they were still setting up, again delays. Only choice for breakfast is English breakfast, can't eat same dish every morning, gets boring. Have a few more choices for b-fast. No internet password given at check in, however paid internet access is advertised through skyband. Not good for a property that is located close to Embassies, which means business travellers, think about how necessary internet is. The relaxed way this property runs is suitable for Mangochi, not capital city where people come for business. Staff are good once you get their attention, and its difficult to get their attention because they seem to be daydreaming, experienced this when 3 tables occupied and 6 wait staff working. Presentation of breakfast lay out not too appealing, seems like setup is just for the sake of it. Ample parking and garden area. I normally stay at Sunbird and eat at woodlands, thought to try accommodation but not catered for persons on business trip, so will go back to staying at Sunbird and eat at woodlands, best of both worlds. It's the small things/improvements that are inexpensive to do but would make a world of difference. Note: I did not ask for my car to be washed. My car is coated with ceramic paint, which is showing many circular scratches, because person who washed it used a pail of water and kept dipping cloth in dirty pail picking up dirt in cloth and rubbing on car paint while wiping. Ask permission at checkin if guests want car washed. Worst thing, person who washed it is waiting at car to solicit tip.

I just love coming to the Woodlands when in Lilongwe. It is so peaceful and tranquil. Love seeing the monkeys hanging around and always

Always a great stay at Woolands! Location, food and service are perfect every time. Even had a few “bush buck” come around the chalet for feeding along with the monkeys. Like a safari in town!

Second time staying here this year. It wasn't as good as the previous stay. It is still comfortable and safe with the chalets being large with great bathroom facilities. However the WiFi this time around was poor and not working in my room. When I asked about it I was told to connect to the next room which didn’t help much. I expected a lot more based on my previous experience. The food in the restaurant is very good and if you like Indian food there is a great selection. I will still come back because there is more to life than having quality WiFi.
