Sunbird Waterfront ★★★★

📍 Senga Bay, Senga, Salima

"We had an amazing, beautiful stay. From the moment we got there, all staff were very welcoming ( Bertha at the reception was such a joy), everyone was polite, always smiling, made sure everything was okay from the room, food etc. You can tell and see that every department works very hard and together they just give the best service overall. Beautiful room with a beautiful view of lake malawi. Giving one of the best views of the sunrise too. The cleanliness was 10/10 everywhere. The food was very nice and freshly made. Will be visiting again in the future without a doubt."

Safari Beach Lodge
7.6 (13 reviews)

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★

📍 Senga Bay Forest Reserve, Senga Bay Near to the Sunbird Livingstonia Beach Hotel At the end of the S122, Salima

"The lake is very full at the moment so there is no beach and the area next to the lake is dirty, but that is not their fault. Better to check lake levels before booking this place else you will have no beach. Nice location next to the lake, set a bit above the lake. Lovely, well-kept gardens. Chalets are comfortable if you don't mind climbing down steep stairs to the upstairs room. Very nice bar and the view from the bar at sunset is is wonderful. Breakfast was very good. There were no internet on the first day, following morning only intermittent internet at reception. The cellphone signal is also very bad."

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★
"Fantastic lodge to spend a relaxing couple of days. Beautiful surroundings and comfortable and very clean rooms. Great view over the lake where you see the boats from the nearby fisher’s village. What also makes this place unique is the welcoming atmosphere, created by the staff!"

Lakeside Hotel ★★★
"I have never written a review like this, but people need to be warned. We booked this hotel largely because of the pool and lakeside location. When we arrived, not only was the pool unusable, but there was no wifi, our room had no air conditioning, there was little to no protection from the insane amount of bugs invading our room, and the shower didn't drain. The rooms are not even close to being worth the price they charge and were clearly neglected after many years of little maintenance. We reported everything immediately. The next morning, the manager responded with excuses and even tried to shift the blame onto us. After a heated argument, they reluctantly agreed to refund our second night so we could leave. However, they claimed to not have any cash and the only option was to wait until Monday morning. We didn't have enough cash to pay for an alternative on Saturday evening, so we had to head back to Lilongwe. The weekend was ruined. The owners live in Lilongwe and clearly don't care enough to invest ANY money back into the hotel. Absolutely zero maintenance or customer service training. The best thing about this hotel is the incredible photographer who took the pictures you can see on Google Maps! By the way, those pictures are like 10 years old. Very misleading. Avoid this place. There are far better options."

Kambiri Beach Resort ★★★
"Once we had a delicious customised food as per our taste & preferences by Chef Sanjay at Kambiri... this food experience attracted us to Kambiri for a stay ... and the Chef lived up to our expectations this time as well. We were in love with this well maintained vast property, which is a blend of forest and lake, foot trails with tree shades, blooming lotuses under the classic bridgeway, avenues for stunning photography, long beach and a clean swimming pool. Receptionist-Ms. Bert gave us a warm welcome and assistance as and when needed. We will recommend this resort to friends and family !!"

Sunbird Livingstonia Beach ★★
"This hotel on the shores of Lake Malawi. I would rate it as a good 4-star hotel. Most guests seemed to be Malawian conference guests but the hotel is more like a resort. Staff members are friendly and helpful. The room was big enough and the bed was comfortable. I slept very well. Buffet dinner was excellent."
