I liked this lodge it is really nice and peaceful for family. Our host, Tamanya, is very kind and friendly. When we have some issues, she is ready to help it out. For myself to cook is really comfortable and Yasin and Alik these staff guys are really quiet and polite. Security is very safe. When we come to Lilongwe, we directly come here. But I am afraid after my review it will be full of all spaces when I come here.😄😄 But I wanted more enjoy from place for barbique and swimming pool. Our next coming, I will do that. Thank you for all guys here and for the owner to build like that building in Lilongwe.

Quest was a great place to stay for a few days in Lilongwe. The rooms were generous in size, the bathrooms had very hot water and the provided breakfast exceeded our expectations (it was big and filling!). There is a big common room with satellite TV so it's easy to unwind before moving on to your next destination. Quest is in a very safe neighbourhood (we felt safe walking home at night) and close to a selection of bars and restaurants which has good atmosphere on a Friday night.

I write this piece 6 weeks after my visit to Lilongwe and after touring Germany, Bulgaria and Poland. In short, in any of the latter 3 countries I would have had to pay 5 to 6 times more than I did in Lilongwe, if i wanted to enjoy service, space, comfort and peace remotely equivalent to the Burley House experience. Apart from enjoying a comfortable room with good WiFi, international TV (we watched the IPL and ATP tennis), wonderful meals and an incredible garden, what stands out at Burley House is the incredible warmth of the staff. This is not surprising as it is, after all, Malawi.

Excellent breakfast, wonderful location with a beautiful garden, very quiet, you could hear the birds singing in the morning. I stayed quite far from the reception and the street, maybe that's why my experience has been so good.

The property is beautiful, but needs maintenance. If they will manage to bring it to life, it will be a great lodge. The people were superfriendly and the mango… omg… so delicious! And the location is perfect.

Brilliant location just outside of Lilongwe (easy to get a cheap taxi into town/wherever) Rudolph and his team are awesome - go above and beyond during your stay. Would definitely recommend.

My room was large, comfortable and very clean, and the staff very friendly, helpful and eager to please. One even knocked on my door one evening with a big bowl of popcorn for me to enjoy! The location is peaceful, but probably best suited to people with their own transport. However the staff and owner were very happy to arrange motorbike taxis to get me around.

Chikondi, who runs the Quest, is very dedicated and super friendly. The breakfast is huge and so are the rooms. Perfect location between downtown and the airport, there are some nice places to eat in the area. Everything was very clean. Nice would be a cozy seating area in the garden.
