Having a bar and restaurant onsite was definitely a bonus. The staff are lovely and I would really recommend doing the sunset boat trip with snorkeling and eagle feeding. Overall excellent value, so much so that we thought we were undercharged for all our food and drink! ##### Tanya Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lameck 20 Nov 2022 Liked: Staff & service Faculties were minimalistic and on for a short stay.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. It’s also felt very safe. The room was a little tired and bathroom needed to be a little cleaner, however this is a country that has very limited resources so it was always going to be different to a western and more developed experience. It’s definitely the place to stay in this beautiful corner of Malawi! ##### Hayley Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie 30 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place - stayed in a thatched hut overlooking the lake.

There were ants on the premises, and one of the days I woke up with ants on my bed. I used a floss stick that I threw in the garbage bin in the toilets, the next day it was in the garden in front of my lodge door. Not very nice. ##### Antonio Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Casie 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mgoza Mgoza has the most beautiful setting with the trees and outdoor relaxation area next to the lake. Sadly my pillows had an odd smell like cat pee but the staff were amazing to change them right away. The staff helped me to organise day/boat trips which was helpful. I tried but did not get the chance to enjoy a hot shower during my stay as only cold water was available. Jeremiah at the front desk is kind and patient. Thank you for answering my questions. The main road is right behind the rooms so the loud music and people walking past is extremely loud. I can see why other reviews mention it. The food was was available and had a menu in which you could choose from. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E1F4A20FED27E7176C379F58C02CE4BEC1867A151658728762558.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CFE9A4FDA0BD8E71015984C68F60789AA7A61C9B1658728756032.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47C0697CB7DD3175D92739CF2B369EC6181F17851658728719359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5391C0C210B8118E0DF2E30854A0FA0D12D6435A1658728798076.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Casie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Reed 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities As advertised ##### Reed Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ralf 17 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Sehr einfach eingerichtet.

He gave us a better room free of charge. Sometimes problems with electricity, water and wifi, but it is normal in that area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Zeer mooie en ontspannen plek, goed onderhouden. Schoon zwembad met uitzicht op het meer. Fijne kamers met alles wat je nodig hebt (o.a. grote bedden, warme douche, ventilator etc). Kamer kon echter niet op slot. Wat betreft communicatie van medewerkers valt nog winst te behalen (o.a. onduidelijkheid over beschikbaarheid keuken, onvriendelijke bejegening bij uitchecken). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Sept 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mgoza lodge is right on the beach, and it has a very nice garden, restaurant and pool. At the same time it is right in the middle of a village; the village life going on around the lodge and on the beach in front of it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott-Ryan 16 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Cape Maclear is a working fishing community on the shores of Lake Malawi that is gaining in tourist traffic. There are a number of small, family run lodges directly on that shore and Mgoza Lodge is one of the good ones as far as I can tell. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and clean, the food is good and the service is attentive and friendly. Electricity and wifi goes in and out, but you are in rural Africa. Alan, the owner, is quite present and does his best to make sure his guests are looked after. All in all, nothing over the top fancy but a friendly, happy place to spend a few days / nights. (Tip: look for Captain Flamingo on the beach to arrange a boat ride to one of the islands and an empty beach with clean, clear, cold water to swim in) ##### Scott-Ryan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude E 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 🇲🇼 Our highlite in Malawi 🇲🇼 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a08931a5-8b00-4ec9-aaff-bf67c58e25e9-1753799625451.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2cbf7437-881f-4700-a7ad-be9b56e955fa-1753799625905.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Claude E Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wanstead Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Wanstead-Hotel.h36502755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hot tub apartment @ ApartHotel421 by Seafront Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Hot-Tub-Apartment-Aparthotel421-By-Seafront-Collection.h59376471.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in East Coast Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-East-Coast-Road-Hotels.s50-0-d6126967.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Vicarage Freehouse & Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crewe-Hotels-The-Vicarage-Freehouse-Rooms.h1096629.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Portals Nous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portals-Nous-Calvia-Hotels.0-n6034229-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Rome-Hotels.s50-0-d179899.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Blue Empire in Shinjuku](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Blue-Empire-In-Shinjuku.h31967168.Hotel-Information) > > [The Makokola Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Hotels-The-Makokola-Retreat.h11479898.Hotel-Information) > > [Powter Howe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Powter-Howe.h42401860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Blue Lagoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blue-Lagoon-Hotels.0-l6062457-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Amsterdam Hotels Sonder Park House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Sonder-Park-House.h67202027.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Lytham St. Anne's](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Lytham-St-Annes-Hotels.s50-0-d182579.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Macdonald-Botley-Park-Hotel-Spa.h9369.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ams/ath/amsterdam-to-athens) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Chester (CEG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/ceg/glasgow-to-chester) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Zemunik Donji (ZAD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/zad/liverpool-to-zadar) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/dfw/london-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Gothenburg (GOT) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/got/lhr/gothenburg-to-london) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/gla/east-midlands-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Lumbadzi (LLW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/llw/london-to-lilongwe) ### Activities ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Stintino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stintino.dx6048139) > > [Visit Saint-Valery-sur-Somme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Valery-Sur-Somme.dx6304438) > > [Visit Ölüdeniz City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Oludeniz-City-Center.dx553248633981697900)
