“Lovely stay next to Lake Malawi”

I stayed at the lakeview private room. The place is quite basic but everything's perfectly functional and view is very nice. However, it can feel a bit scary when there's heavy rain and when wave is strong. The wave can come to the bridge connected to the room so you may get wet. I am so scared that I will drop the key inside the lake when I opened the door. The sound of waves can go all night and disturb the sleep. Staff are helpful. Food is good. Compost toilet in lakeview room but the public toilet and private toilets in other room are normal flush toilet. There's little smell from the compost toilet but I find it acceptable. Don't use this room if you mind a compost toilet. I would choose the dorm room next time as it has public flush toilet just outside the room, close to the restaurant. The upper floor of restaurant is comfortable and nice enough to stay whole day long.

“great place to meeting other travelers. and very center location you do not need to transport to go.”

the hotel is very Central, easy to communication from town. and I love the restaurant. really good food. they are very helpful, and especially owner he's very helpful, they helped me to give invitation later which is really good. I did the tour which is wonderful with another girl from hostel. it's a very good meeting place for other travelers so definitely recommended. they have dorm and beautiful Lakeview private room. I had a wonderful time too having my breakfast in the garden and see the beautiful Lakeview.

Staff are friendly and professional. Food is of top quality - freshly made. Place is by the lake, so various lake activities are very convenient and easy to access.

Location and terrace for Great Lake views

“Enjoyed our time at Soul Rebel. Lyman went over and above to ensure we got a fair deal on everything”

The staff especially lyman were very helpful

“Rustic….or Roots if you like!”

Wonderful staff; onsite restaurant including with a wide choice on menu, reasonably priced if using the unofficial exchange rate. My room was situated by the lake edge and was such a wonderful experience listening just to the waves crushing in the night and awaking to a wonderful sunrise. Truly bliss. Thought powered by solar, my shower was reasonably hot and lighting though dim was constant. I still recommend taking a torch for the sometimes power cuts. Be sure to arrange a boat trip….. you won’t regret it. Eagle bird, cliff jumping and snorkelling. One might even be able to visit the Rastafarian community near by.

Great staff and lovely location. Good food and relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful place in Nkhata bay. The staff is really nice and can provide you with all the information you need and there is a boat tour!

Super Location very close to city, quite garden with sun and beautiful view and beach to relax Good Restaurant for Veggis Very helpful staff

Everyone working there is so friendly and makes the stay very special. The tours offered are good quality and employ local guides. The waterside accomodation is so relaxing - a privilege to waste away days with the view of the water and village life. Food was decent.

“Nice place”

The first night there were some problems with the room when we arrived but they were accommodating. . The staff is super friendly, helpful (Ronaldo, Leman, German, Patrick... All of them) The food is good and not expensive. Nice terrace and lounge area. Just by the lake with easy access and across the pier so very convenient if you are taking a ferry /boat. The dorm for 4 people is great. We loved it and came back aftee visiting other places up north.

“Beautiful and relaxed place on Lake Malawi‘s shore”

Beautiful location at the shore of lake Malawi. The 2 cottages built on stilts in the lake are especially beautiful - they seem to float on the water. City Centre and the port with the boats to Likoma Island are in walking distance

I stayed there for two nights. I arrived very late, they arranged transport from Mzuzu and were waiting with warm dinner. The place is located on a hill with an outstanding view of Lake Malawi. The staff are super nice and kind.

“Amazing Stay in Nkhata Bay”

The restaurant was great, the view was fantastic, the atmosphere was very chilled, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and functional. A very nice place 🤗

Chill place by lake Malawi with really cool staff. Food is really good! Rooms are also cool!

“It was perfect!”

It was a perfect location with a stunning view of the lake at all times. I relaxed while waiting for the sunrise and watching the sunset. The hammock was incredibly comfortable. Also, since it was the off-season, I had the shared dorm all to myself — that was great too! And in the end, they even helped arrange a taxi and bus to Lilongwe. It was an amazing stay!

“a true gem !”

the best location possible, this place is outstanding! personel is super friendly and the views are breathtaking! I highly recommend renting little house right by the lake 🫶🏼 I'll be back one day as it's one of my favourites places during my journey

“We had an incredible stay and loved our time in Malawi”

Stunning location, with great local restaurants and amenities and food and staff were incredible!

“Amazing”

Excellent location with a stunning view of Lake Malawi. What I loved the most was the unlimited access to stand-up paddles and snorkeling masks, always available for guests to enjoy.

“A stay full of culture, delicious food, great weather, and fantastic hosts. Thank you for everything”

A visit to the Soul Rebel Lodge in Nkhata Bay was an extraordinary experience. Its location directly on Lake Malawi offers spectacular views of both land and water. In addition to providing fascinating insights into the flora and fauna for Europeans, the easy accessibility of the nearby village also allows for exciting interactions with the locals and their culture and joie de vivre. The food at the Soul Rebel Lodge is phenomenally good; Guax, the chef, served us the best guacamole in the world, made from fresh, local ingredients. Occasional power outages, which in principle only made the trip more exciting, are compensated for by the operator thanks to a solar system. The water supply was impeccable, but you shouldn't drink the lake water. However, there is a sufficient selection and availability at the lodge bar. All of the staff, without exception, did a fantastic job and made our stay as enjoyable as possible. Great tours are also offered directly on site, which took us out onto the lake and into the surrounding area. The Soul Rebel Lodge is also an excellent base for longer excursions. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back.
