Absolutely perfect stay! The property exceeded all my expectations, spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The location was great, and the host was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay. I truly felt at home and would gladly return anytime. A well-deserved 10

The green, well manicured garden gave me the breath of fresh air that I needed on my birthday. The swimming pool was warm and clean, my room was sparkling clean and they made my birthday morning very nice. They sang for me plus a "cake". Lizzy, in particular, was very welcoming and warm. Thank you, Kumbali. I will come again

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.

Very good and safe location. The place very tidy and clean inside out. This includes clean and spacious rooms, clean bathroom no smell, not even of dumpness. The restaurant very clean and beautifully set. The food very nicely and professionally prepared. The staff from all departments; i.e, Resception, Restaurant, provided us with first grade service, I've ever had. I recommend AnnaVilla Hotel to whoever likes a quiet, clean place with exceptional service on the platter. My wife and I are coming back

The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. They attended to my every need and were very helpful. The room was beautiful - tastefully decorated, a fabulous bed, which was very comfortable and had a lovely big balcony. The bathroom facilities were great - a rain shower, free toiletries and it was spacious enough to move around in comfortably. The restaurant was very nice. The food choices for me are somewhat limited, as I am vegetarian, but my choice was very tasty and the portion was generous.

    We have been talking about this, because we would return without hesitation. The welcome is as good as anywhere I have ever stayed – it is small and it has the feel of a family home. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything is done with a smile, and the staff will universally go the extra mile. Our laundry was donedaily, and when the vegetarian asked for a different main course, it was willingly provided. The honesty bar is a pleasure – and whoever chooses the Wine knows what they’re doing. You will enjoy it here.

    The meals were great. We especially loved the breakfast. But best was the kidness of the staff and the manager/owner. When we arrived in Lilongwe, unfortunately our luggage went missing at the airport. We told the owner and he immediatly called the airport himself to inquire about our bags and also gave us the contact details of someone working at the airport. This was more than just good service! So much willingness to help - thanks a lot!

    This is a decent hotel for the price but needs more attention to upkeep and maintenance. They have a good chinese restaurant and it is quiet and private most of the time unless there is function on.

    Located very close to Airport (about 30 mnts drive ) We‘d love to stay more. We had a great welcome and were escorted to the room. The hotel has two family friendly pools a restaurant which offers a continental range. We were astonished by the presentation of our dishes and the taste of them. The staff was attentive to make our stay a highly memorable one. Highly recommended this place.

    Only stayed one day; however watching the animals at play was great; service good; down the road from the wildlife centre. Lilongwe is very spread out so will need taxi to visit attractions. The food was very good and affordable.
