The service was outstanding in every way. Rooms are spacious and clean. We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. My only complaint is that Burley House is so popular that it is difficult to book. Certainly not your fault.

Returning to Malawi after thirty years, with my 20 year old son who has never visited the country, I was looking for somewhere to recuperate after the long journey that would give a good first impression. Burley House was exactly what I was looking for - beautiful garden, comfortable beds, welcoming staff - nothing too challenging before we set off to explore the country.

Relatively new, rhe staff makes efforts to keep their guests satisfied. Internet access, contact numbers and Map needs some work. There are a few structural improvements that could be done, but understandably this will take time and money. Overall, an enjoyable stay. I would gladly book with them in the future.

The staff at Burley House are exceptional! They anticipate & cater for guest needs before guests even have time to realize they need a thing or service. All of the staff are friendly but also allow guests to have their own personal space. The setting is very tranquil & chic, & offers many outdoor group & individual work / meeting spaces with good wifi. The neighborhood is very walkable, & there are other guest houses & restaurants within walking distance if you want to explore. But it is not necessary to go out for meals, since the food at Burley is 5 star. The family style table encourages guests to interact & create a community of travelers. The airport shuttle includes concierge service all the way through immigration. As a single traveler, I really appreciated this.

This was one of the best stays I have had anywhere. The house is clean, very peaceful and quiet and you can hear the birds in trees in the garden. The rooms are a good size, well appointed and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The shower is good and toiletries are provided. There a blackout curtains and mosquito screens on the windows and nets around the beds. They also off a laundry service for any of your clothes and a desk in your room where you can work. The hosts are excellent, attentive and super professional and nothing was too much trouble during our stay. There are vegetarian and vegan options for breakfast lunch and dinner and everything is homecooked to order. There is also a very good choice of breakfast options including soya milk. You can also eat in the garden if you want to and there is internet throughout the building. There is a small bar for alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and a very comfortable lounge where you can watch television if you choose or have a game of pool. The house seems very safe and secure and the location is pretty quiet apart from commuting times when there is very light traffic noise. It was like staying in a top hotel but in the comfort of my own home and when I am next in Lilongwe I look to stay here as my first choice. I really recommend this place to all travelers looking for a home away from home with comfort, good food and peace and quiet. 5 stars from me!

A real find
Apart from the bed being a bit firm for my taste, we enjoyed our stay. The place is clean and very well maintained, with pleasing décor and furniture. It's in a peaceful location on the edge of Capital City, but access to town was easy. We ate dinner twice at the guest house and I have rarely found such good food in Lilongwe - or anywhere in fact. I've stayed in q number of places in Lilongwe , including the Sunbird hotels, but will now choose to stay here. What made the stay particularly good were the staff. Malawians are by nature a friendly people, but the staff at Burley were faultless.

B&B atmosphere
Adequate continental breakfast. Good dinners at reasonable price. Small, intimate B&B type atmosphere. Other guests were quite interesting international business people. Inn could benefit from some updating and maintenance. Room keys are difficult to use.

Great staff and comfortable rooms...
Burley House is a lovely "oasis" in Malawi's capital city with a staff who cater to your every need in a quiet and comfortable location. Food choices are limited but very tasty, and it's a great place to relax at a relatively reasonable price. Bit hard to find and lacks signage at the main road (M-1), but that's my only complaint. I always try to stay there when traveling to Malawi.

Loved the Burley House!
It was not my original plan to stay overnight in Lilongwe; however, my flight was cancelled and a place to stay was needed. After searching for a hotel for some time I came upon the Burley House. After reading the warm reviews about this establishment I decided to make a reservation. The hotel staff was exactly as described - fantastic! The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing before setting out on a 36 hour flight home. The meals were also marvelous! My only regret was that there was not room for another friend to stay overnight with us, but the Burley House was full and our friend had to find other accommodations. I'm not sure if I will ever have to spend the night in Lilongwe again but if I do I know where to go!

A nice Bed and Breakfast
My wife and I live in Malawi. Hotels/Lodges here are a lot of money for what you get. We have stayed at some of the higher end hotels when they had deals going on. South Africa, Zambia and Kenya all of cheaper hotels that are less money but better service. The Burley house is on of the cheaper options. It is clean and the room is nice. It will remind you of a Bed and Breakfast type place. If you are from out of town and just need an overnight stay it is good place. The staff did a really nice job! We felt welcome and the evening staff went out of their way to get us tea and soft drinks. Some of the high end hotels in Lilongwe look at you as if you need to have a private jet to stay there. You will not get that type of feeling here. Very welcoming.
