Highly recommended for personal or family holiday!
Pros:

Uvula Garden was recommended by my colleagues especially because it is close to the airport. The property is huge with many trees and gardens. The room is also spacious with sufficient facilities and wifi for a restful stay. My favourite part was to walk around the property. The food in the restaurant has good options. It is ideal for family or romantic getaways!

Cons:

The hotel could probably make a survey for their guests on what foods to serve for buffet breakfast. I was able to eat but not satisfied, maybe just because I am a bit picky. The hotel can check with other guests on better breakfast choices.

Uncomfortable stay because of someone going through our belonging and stealing from us followed by luke-warm response fr
Pros:

Location and facilities are good

Cons:

We stayed at Ufulu Hotel for 2 nights and had money stolen from our room while staff had access to it. After leaving cash inside our room, we later discovered that money from a pair of jeans pocket and additional money from our suitcase were missing. Another staff member later told us that our room had been accessed by other people while we were away, yet the manager (Victor) never came back to update us on what happened. His attitude was dismissive and arrogant, making me feel like I was making up the story instead of being supported as guests. Although the amount stolen was not large, the experience of knowing someone went through our personal belongings was extremely upsetting and traumatic. Guests should be very careful with their valuables when staying here.

Cons:

this place quoted a rate of $76 special online, and the booking showed a conversion rate of K132000 in local currency, but when i arrived they only allowed payment in US dollars otherwise if you wanted to pay in local currency, as is the law! they were charging 50% more ie k200000 Malawi kwacha. it is illegal to force people to pay in USD and the booking confirmation showed the rate in Malawi kwacha which was according to the bank rate, but did not allow me to pay this at the hotel. Illegal, and misleading.
