Mitengo House

After waiting 30 minutes for my order, the waiter returned and said no order had been placed, despite the fact that I had ordered from the specials section. This reflected a lack of attention to detail.

Fabulous place close to city and airport.
Staff were wonderful. We were a large group snd decided last minute to stay in and eat, kitchen did a grand job. Food was delicious.
The place has a wonderful vibe, with lots of cosy corners.

Excellent place to stay. Warm and welcoming staff, beautiful lounge and outdoor spaces, and a professional booking process. Whenever I am back in Lilongwe, I will be staying at Mitengo House. Thanks to the Mitengo team.

Lovely staff, but disappointing management and poor amenities.
Mitengo House has kind, hardworking staff—especially the bar and cleaning teams—and is set in a beautiful, peaceful location. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by poor management response to feedback, unreliable Wi-Fi, power outages with unclear explanations, and a surprise $58 charge not mentioned when booking. There’s also no complimentary tea or coffee in the rooms, which is a basic comfort at this price. The manager’s hostile reaction to our honest review left a sour aftertaste that overshadowed an otherwise decent stay.

Absolutely enjoyed my stay. Very quite and the staff were so friendly. The room was super clean and the hot water really hot!

Great hotel! Safe location, comfortable lodging. I stayed both here and Africa House for one nigh each, and preferred Mitengo for vibe, restaurant, garden and the room.

It is always with great pleasure to stay at Mitengo House. Accommodation is fine and fits our purpose of (business) stay. Flexible and friendly staff makes you feel welcome every time again.

I’ve been here three times, and each time, the service gets worse. Nothing arrives on time—I had to wait about 30 minutes just to be attended to. The steak was cold, and for the salad, I was told they didn’t have lettuce, so they just brought cucumbers and tomatoes, poorly cut. No sauce, no chili, nothing. Everything was just slow.

I stayed at Mitengo house for several nights during a work trip. The room was very comfortable, with a hot shower with strong water pressure. I loved the beautiful courtyard and bunnies, and appreciated all the spots they had for lounging. I also used the in-room massage service they advertised at the lodge, which was wonderful. The only issue I had was with a taxi the front desk called: I asked the desk to establish the price for me, but they neglected to do that and the driver overcharged me as a result.

It is a really lovely place, very scenic. Lovely food and the ambiance is amazing. Definitely a good place to go all dolled up and with your babe.

It’s nice. Not the most personal service, or the best maintained facility, but it’s quite pretty and it works. The Wi-Fi was good.

Rooms are beautiful and eco and boutique and unique! So is the garden, pool, etc. Everything was beautiful and comfortable.

Mitengo house is one great lodge in lilongwe and located in a fancy areas. And the stuff are so professional and well experienced.

The staff were fantastic — so helpful and friendly. The bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate. The accommodation felt very safe and secure. The Wi-Fi connectivity was strong and fast all the way through the hotel (including bedrooms). The food was really nice. Good selection of soft and alcoholic drinks. Some really nice restaurants nearby (inc. Urban Cafe and La Cantina). Would definitely stay again. The one small criticism is that the real log fire can make the lounge area quite smoky, but this was probably also a bit helpful for keeping away bugs.

Mitengo House is a nicely designed hotel, that is small and intimate, but also private. Set in tranquil gardens, it is a peaceful place to retreat to after a long day at work.
The food is great and the service is good.
My only suggestion is that for this price, there should be a few niceties in the room (e. G. Tissues, toiletries, coat-hangers; tea and coffee making facilities). The rooms are very sparsely furnished, so the addition of a rack on which guests can place their suitcase would also help justify the price.

I stayed at Mitengo house almost by an accident as everywhere else in Lilongwe that I knew as fully booked because of a big conference. It turned out to be an excellent boutique hotel. I liked the design, the courtyard, the garden. The room was very nice with a comfortable bed with moscato nets. Staff were super helpful. I had an accident while jogging in the morning and they helped me with first aid. I strongly recommend staying at Mitengo House.

Very quaint, well appointed hotel. Exceptionally clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. The chef prepared a delicious curry meal for is. We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice and clean.
