Loved the breakfast! The staff were super helpful and fun to talk to. The WiFi was limited and needed to ask for a slip or buy more megabytes from them.

The hospitality and the staff are so friendly. I feel safe to know their security is there all the time. Fiona and her staff went extra miles to make sure that our needs were met. The guest in there were like family. I will stay at Malau lodge every time I visit Tonga. It is central to everything in the town. I arrived there a 3 am, one of the staff was still waiting for us. What a service. Thank you so much for making out time in Tonga a memorable time. I will recommend Malau Lodge to anyone. The venue and the atmosphere were great. Thank you
