This place is amazing for its hospitality and the unique way it operates. Guests have dinner together and the menu is fixed but let me assure you that the food is excellent. Even as a vegetarian, the variety and quality I received could not have been better. My room happened to be the biggest one in the lodge with a... More

I visit Lilongwe for 2 weeks per month and nearly always eat at Heuglins (and have been doing so for nearly 2 years now), although I have stayed here I now live in a company house. Reasons why I eat here - Food is always fantastic (the main Chef, Su, is very creative and will cater for any dietary requirements... More

Went to Heuglins for dinner, beef was good. Honesty bar makes for a friendly atmosphere. Management are friendly enough, but for the money, it must be said, there is better food elsewhere in Lilongwe. Not in many places, but its there. One nice element is that everyone sits at the same table for dinner, so meeting people is easy and... More

I spent a few nights in Lilongwe but unfortunately fell sick soon after I arrived due to a bug I caught at my previous destination, so I mostly spent my days at Heuglin's. I was fortunate to stay at this particular lodge because it really is like a home away from home, so I was very comfortable. The staff was... More

I've stayed 3 times at Heuglin's. The first time, I stayed for 3 weeks as part of a team of teachers working in Lilongwe. This was in 2007 so there has been some staff turnover since then. Heuglin's was a great way to be introduced to Malawi, though it is in no way a reflection of the "real" Malawi. The... More

Great place to spend one night or forty! Comfortable, relaxed and friendly, helpful staff. Although away from city central, the drive is not long and the peaceful surroundings are worth seeking Heuglins out. Of my seven trips to Lilongwe, three trips I stayed at the Sunbird Capital, once at Crossroads, once at Wendels and once at Hueglins. The only place... More

I have always bemoaned the shortage of good quality lodges in Lilongwe, so was delighted to find Heuglin's. It has a connection with Wilderness Safaris, so is often used by guests in transit to their other lodges in the country. The lodge itself is in the area of Lilongwe that is home to the ambassadorial residences, and is a converted... More

I stayed here for around a month on work. I found it safe, clean and worth the value. Food is very good - you need to tell the cook what you want to eat for lunch or dinner. Advantage of this place is that you get to meet fellow travelers and dine with them. Internet is free and quite fast.... More
