Best Guesthouse in Lilongwe

The guesthouse was fantastic! The team is very friendly and kind, thanks to Isaac and Tony for the exceptional service. The chef is very talented and we had delicious options every day of different style cuisines. There is also a gym on the property

10/10 Exceptional

The service was outstanding in every way. Rooms are spacious and clean. We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. My only complaint is that Burley House is so popular that it is difficult to book. Certainly not your fault.

10/10 Exceptional

Returning to Malawi after thirty years, with my 20 year old son who has never visited the country, I was looking for somewhere to recuperate after the long journey that would give a good first impression. Burley House was exactly what I was looking for - beautiful garden, comfortable beds, welcoming staff - nothing too challenging before we set off to explore the country.

First dinner was incredible. Huge portions and delicious. Next two were not as good but charged the same price. Asked twice to get the AC fixed.

Burley House Guest House

Relatively new, rhe staff makes efforts to keep their guests satisfied. Internet access, contact numbers and Map needs some work. There are a few structural improvements that could be done, but understandably this will take time and money. Overall, an enjoyable stay. I would gladly book with them in the future.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at Burley House are exceptional! They anticipate & cater for guest needs before guests even have time to realize they need a thing or service. All of the staff are friendly but also allow guests to have their own personal space. The setting is very tranquil & chic, & offers many outdoor group & individual work / meeting spaces with good wifi. The neighborhood is very walkable, & there are other guest houses & restaurants within walking distance if you want to explore. But it is not necessary to go out for meals, since the food at Burley is 5 star. The family style table encourages guests to interact & create a community of travelers. The airport shuttle includes concierge service all the way through immigration. As a single traveler, I really appreciated this.
