Hotel Dengan parking di Southern Region, Malawi

Pros: Quiet location (no traffic noise) A short (daytime) walk to a busy part of Blantyre. Good size room. Cons: The safety deposit box was not working - I was told 'it's an old one and so can't be fixed, you can keep things in the reception safe'. Leaking water in bathroom. Very expensive drinks at the bar - 14,000 kwacha / $10 + tourism tax for a bottle of Castle beer (imported from SA). The other, local, beers are 6000 kwacha plus tourism tax so also expensive - Malawi has seen some huge inflation but I paid less than 3000 for the same beers at a lodge in Mulanje. The bill on check out added a 'tourism levy' (tax) to everything I ordered in the restaurant - I was not told about this when ordering and was not charged a tourism levy in any of the other 3 hotels/lodges I stayed in during my time in Malawi. This could have been in the T&Cs however and I just missed it. Breakfast is not particularly great (a la carte) - i had to return undercooked sausages. Overall, the lodge itself is in a good location and i would return again. I would skip the restaurant and go to the Crossroads hotel restaurant which has reasonable prices and good quality food (but no alcohol). Casa Mia definitely had the most expensive beers I found in Malawi, although the very friendly and interesting owner was kind enough to buy me a few so I guess it balanced out.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally pleasant experience. The facilities were well-maintained, and the services provided by the staff were excellent. The breakfast was good and satisfying. However, I did feel a bit uncomfortable with the room decor. The posters of stamps from the British protectorate era, Nyasaland, were a bit unsettling for me. It would be great if the hotel could consider updating the room decor to reflect a more modern and inclusive atmosphere. Overall, I had a good stay and would recommend this hotel for its excellent facilities, services, and food.

Pros Stunning mountain views Large balcony (no furniture) Water x 2 and tea/coffee provided 24/7 room service Restaurant until 10pm - very good food No alcohol in the hotel Large room Byo toothbrush etc Very good service Highly recommend this hotel Cons Safe not working Very little road noise but worth it for the stunning mountain view Room door not particularly secure - a child could probably break through it

I loved Kara O Mula as a location - quiet, serene and awe inspiring with Mount Mulanje as its backdrop. I would certainly love to have spent more time here. The facility has history and carries itself well. I enjoyed a snack on arrival late in the evening. Breakfast was very very basic which was a disappointing, but the ambiance was lovely and would certainly visit again.

For Africa this is a good hotel, but if you evaluate it by European standards, then it is 3 stars, even with a minus. The hotel is undergoing reconstruction. The rooms are not very clean, the furniture is old, the bathroom has problems, the pool is small. But the most important thing is that there is hot water and electricity. Also there was a delicious breakfast.

This hotel is beatifully built . However does not measure up to 5 star level. The food was not good: plus long service time.Oh the breakfast was excruciating ! Bed mattress not comfortable; curtain in room does not fully cover window so light peeps in.

Excellent hotel! We lived in the bungalow-room spacious, shower just big. Everything works perfectly! High-level service - guys are very kind, responding quickly to requests, helped us organize a transfer. Breakfasts and what we ordered at the restaurant on the menu - all very delicious! The hotel is located on the very bank of Lake Malawi - especially in the evening at sunset, a stunning view! The hotel organizes various tours on the lake and surroundings. Recommend!!!

房間非常整潔衞生，自來水都經過凈化處理，早餐也較豐富，工作人員也比較認真禮貌，酒店前台可以幫忙辦理電話卡以及換匯，唯一的小插曲就是在入住時平台得離店付款選項這家酒店不認可，造成了二次付款，目前平台正在處理中，然後就是就是價格相對來説個人感覺還是有些高。

Good place , you can see Malawi Lake in small beach ,See with sunshine very clearly near monkey bay and far from Mangochi about 40KM. Too many bird and monkey here
