I was miss lead, they told me they gave me an upgrade at no cost. The next morning I woke up with 2 inches of water all over the room. I had to call to be moved to an other room, the room was the same it is not an upgrade!! It was very difficult to get a gluten free meal. Most had no idea what is gluten.

This property is beautiful, quiet, and has the most amazing spa. Terrific massage. The facilities are lovely, the food is great, and the manager (Ally is his name, but I might not be spelling it correctly) is beyond belief - very attentive, thoughtful, friendly and kind. I travel through Mwanza once or twice a year, and always book a relaxing layover here for me and my groups.

Our son, who works in Mwanza, recommended that we stayed at Malaika. We were not disappointed. The staff were, without exception, friendly, helpful and courteous. The room was well equipped and was everything that we wanted. The dining options were excellent and the quality of the food was also very good indeed. If we ever go back to Mwanza, we would definitely stay at Malaika again - in a heartbeat.
