“Perfect stay in Lamu”
The location was perfect, the staff were great and everyone made sure we had a lovely time and felt safe. The staff surprised me for my birthday too. I loved it. The owners were also very responsive when we had any issues.

“Not recommended”
It’s not what it seems. Water tab and shower broken and they give you a different room than the one you paid for.

“Great location, nice design but the bathroom would need serious update. Overpriced.”
The design is very nice, traditional swahili style.

“Awful - stay away.”
The hotel was in darkness when we arrived at 3.00pm(Daytime), there was a power failure in the area. No candles/generator in sight. Room was dark & dirty & old fridge in the room. I asked for milk for some tea and I had to give money so they could get from the corner shop. After 3 hrs of darkness and no power I looked for another hotel with a generator. I asked for a refund as this wasn't what we expected. The manager said we could have a full refund which Im still waiting for!

“A comfortable and enjoyable stay with excellent service.”
We had a fantastic stay! The hotel is in a perfect location—close to everything we needed. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the amenities were top-notch. What really made the experience stand out was the warm and friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Communication with the host was also excellent—responsive, clear, and helpful throughout. Highly recommended!

Convenient location for anyone that wants to have a fully immersed cultural experience.We enjoyed the day and evening walks around Lamu town.It was also pretty quiet at night allowing room for a good nights sleep.The breakfast was good considering what we paid...the tropical fruits were tasty.
