Green Elephant is a recently renovated guest house in Lilongwe, where guests can makes the most of its infinity pool, garden and bar.

This is a stunning small hotel. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated. We had a lovely porch with private garden and direct access to the pool. The communal spaces are beautiful too. The team are very helpful and attentive whilst also giving privacy. The grounds are exquisite. This was exceptional value for money. Loved it.

    The location is great and convenient if you have business to do in the city centre. The restaurant also serves decent food and has friendly staff.

    Quiet environment and the staff were charming. I was allowed an early check-in which I greatly appreciated. I was initially allocated a lower rate during the early check-in but I was moved to the room that I had booked

    Quiet location in a residential area outside the city center. About a 15 minute walk to a small shopping center in Area 10 with a few restaurants and a grocery store. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with a fan and mosquito net. The staff are wonderful. Sarah is a joy. So helpful and accommodating. The breakfast included in the price was very tasty (and enormous!). WIFI works well. The guesthouse offers transport into the city center for a reasonable price.

    The hostess Chikondi was a very good to me, so I felt very welcome. Also her team is very proffessional and the food was tasty. It is very near to shopping center and 3 kilometers to the City center, which was convenient for work as well as for pleasure. They have chairs outdoors in the garden, which is good for relaxing. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and many expatriates live in the area.

    Yami was super helpful! He helped us figure out food for my vegan girlfriend, taxis when we were struggling, and was just all around a great host! Also breakfast was very nice and a good amount of food, and the place itself was spacious and clean!

    Wonderful and friendly staff who went out of their way to serve and guide 24/7. The environment was quiet, which was conducive for rest and/ or work. Well-lit and cozy room with clean beddings. Toiletries were made available all-through. Quite near the city center: about 5-10 minutes by car or motorbike. The breakfast was pretty decent & served within the requested time, according to one's schedule. Room service for breakfast was made available at no extra charge.
