Pleasantly surprised by this very cute little property - the perfect lodge hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the city of Lilongwe. Had a wonderful dinner at their restaurant - super friendly staff. It is rated 3-stars but would personally rate them 4-stars!

An all-night power outage causing no hot water the morning we left

The grounds were fantastic. Service a little slow. Food is not the best.

This lodge is a tranquil luxury oasis in a location you wouldn’t expect. A lot of effort had been put into amazing customer service, beautiful gardens and lovely food. The room was well appointed and was a great ending to our 2 week trip.

Just the cost - would’ve liked a bit cheaper.

Peaceful and the new game reserve looks great - the owner took our kids on a drive. The staff were very friendly.

Peaceful location, fantastic rooms that are clean and comfortable with excellent staff. The food and drinks are good with a good breakfast. The grounds, gardens and game park are lovely to enjoy a stroll or drive, we particularly liked the Ostrich! We will be returning without a doubt.

Our Aircon and Wi-Fi did not work at all so that was a bummer as the network is terrible.

Kumbali is such a beautiful place. And has the greenest grass I have ever seen. The staff was friendly, the room super clean. The food was great. Stunning views!

The only slight disapproval was the pool….it could use some maintenance

A peaceful retreat but still close to the city. My room was clean and very comfortable, the food was delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful

The location is very secluded and about 30 minutes from the town. You are dependent on a car/transport, but the staff are very helpful regarding this!

Great staff, beautiful gardens and surroundings, spacious and cozy rooms. The food was great as well. Ideal for a quiet getaway, but still close enough to the town.

Internet and Wi-Fi connection, although relatively stable, is extremely slow, making work time a bit challenging. I have no other dislikes to mention.

Fantastic and warm people, great location with excellent peaceful environment. The Staff and Owner are very accommodating. If you want to be in the country but a stone's throw from the city, Kumbali Country Lodge is the place to visit

A few more chairs around the swimming pool would be great.

Beautiful grounds, spacious and comfortable rooms, relaxing atmosphere, fantastic staff and incredible set dinner.

Everything was great expect the wifi, and I say that by Malawi standards, which is really slow. But the wifi essentially doesn't work in the rooms. You can send whatsapp messages but that's about it.

Beautiful property outside of the city with lovely large rooms surrounded by nature. It's a sprawling property you can walk around and enjoy. Nice pool and a good restaurant. Great staff. Overall enjoyed my stay a lot.

The shakshuka with eggs for breakfast was quite watery and undercooked, but other than that the food was great.

Fantastic lodge with spacious and comfortable rooms, and very friendly and helpful staff. The gardens and surroundings are lovely and we enjoyed going for walks.

Thank you, Geraldine and staff, for another great stay at Kumbali. The open spaces, tranquility, attention to detail, and food, as always, were all perfect. See you again later this year😊
