As previous reviews indicate, this is a wonderful setting, rivalling a Greek Island or even the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Beautiful view and accommodations. Very warm and friendly staff. Good food with many choices. Good hot water even with Solar. Would have liked internet access in the room and perhaps a little more attention to timely food delivery. We had a delightful stay!

Njaya Lodge is a little slice of paradise! We fell in love with this place as soon as we arrived. Nestled on the banks of Lake Malawi, surrounded by beautiful landscape and amazing locals, it’s the most relaxing place we have been to in Africa. The staff here go above and beyond with their service and always so friendly! I hope we make it back one day! ❤️

Pleasant lakeside cabins; very responsive staff; good prices; fantastic views of the lake. Beach consists of rocks; access road poor; located in a village which can be noisy. Owner very pleasant and accommodating. Clean, and would stay again, but not appropriate for a "luxury" lakeside stay.

Although a bit run down it was impossible to fall in love with the location. Because we were on our honeymoon l had book the luxury lodge unfortunately we were one day late due to border problems then when we did arrive we were told our lodge had been booked out to others. however, the staff were lovely and after offering us numerous bottles of wine as compensation for the oversight.

We only planned to stay 2 nights here over Christmas, but the setting, staff and owners were all so nice that we had to extend by two more. Dixon, Gilbert and Kingston are all fantastic characters that really make you feel welcome and add that family vibe. Thanks also to Paul and Collette for making us feel that much more at home. We'll be back for sure.

Would like to keep it a secret, but that wouldn't be fair, a long way north of the airport, but well worth the effort. Highly recommend

オーナー（多分イギリス在住）はきちんとインターネットをチェックしているようで、チェックインはスムーズだった。　従業員たちが懇切丁寧にもてなしてくれたので満足。ただし料理には期待せぬように。　場所は眺めが最高。

Hotel with a lot of potential but unfortunately not much service to go with it. Our room (beach cottage) had a nice view but there was no hot water for our entire stay and we had to deal with plenty of spiders and ants in the room (which can be expected in this part of the world). The internet was down on the first day but it more or less worked afterwards. Obviously, there was no coverage in the room. The food was average at best and they mostly didn't have what was offered on their menu. The price of the food and beverages was ridiculously expensive for the place, so were other services (e.g. laundry). Also, the price of activites offered was more than twice the price of what we paid in another lodge nearby. Plus, the visa machine didn't work so we had to pay in cash. That said, we really enjoyed the beach and our room. The lodge is a bit far from the village and the port (30min walking), but is makes it more like a secret place. Still, the staff were kind...
