Very nice guesthouse with friendly staff with good local tips. Delicious breakfast!

“Lamu is a great town, the stay made it more amazing.”

The staff and owner were amazing. I was warmly welcomed and assisted in tracing my way to the accomodation site. The cleanliness was top notch, regular room service cleaning, good breakfast and ease in traversing Lamu town. It was also a secure place.

“Convenient and clean”

The location was convenient and the rooms were spacious and clean.

Thanks Maia. Very kind and helpful

“The best!”

In the middle of the town. Greatest breakfast!

“I will recommend”

Spacious and clean room. Nice decoration

Excellent location in the heart of Lamu, very tasty breakfast. The staff was very friedly. We liked the the architecture of the building and room.

“friendly, central, clean and tidy”

nice, clean room, excellent shower (cold AND warm water, as you choose), superfriendly(!) staff, very good breakfast, relaxed terrace with a perfect breeze (ok - this depends onto the weather), very close to the restaurants, old town and the main boat landing place ('harbour') = 15 Mins. to the airport (walk+boat)

“Nice place”

The place in very nice and calm in a very central position in the village of Lamu. The room was big, cozy and clean. Great value for money!

“A real gem of a place in Lamu 's old town.”

Great old house in the middle of old town and only steps from the see front. Spacious ,clean and breezy upper floor rooms. Great breakfast,rich in fruit and tasty juice. Charming Samsa and Tina were there for all our needs. Owner Baji,a warm hearted guy with a nice sense of humour , has always an answer to all your questions.We had two blissful dwow rides arranged by him at a price that did not break our wallet. Overall ,an excellent quality and price relation.

Very beautiful guesthouse in the center of Lamu town. We loved the view from the rooftop and the spacious, shady, naturally wind-cooled lobby with sofas and art. The sounds of nearby mosques added to the atmosphere. The bed and bathroom were comfortable and clean. Bed with mosquito net. The breakfast was modest (fruit, eggs, toast, peanut butter, juice, tea, coffee), but tasty and sufficient. The staff was nice and helpful. The only thing missing was air conditioning, but there was a fan above the bed. The owner helped us get to it from Manda airport at a good price. He arranged a boat and a guide to take us to the guesthouse. We are grateful for your enjoyable stay.

Mr Baji got in touch with me as soon as I booked and answered a ton of questions I kept sending him. The room is basic but clean and very central. Highly recommended.

The room is beautiful and the lady managing the property was extremely kind and helpful. she deserves 10 points. Breakfast is provided. The position is really central, close to Lamu's main square.

Location, very strong wifi, friendly and helpfully staff. Faryda is a very good host, she will help you with anything and cook lovely pilau. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. See you next time.

“In general, a good place to stay!”

Jamala Guesthouse is spacious and comfortable and in a very convenient location, in a little alley close to the waterfront. Baji's communication was excellent and the staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. There was a nice breakfast in the morning with delicious fresh juice.

Maybe include dinner asp part of package.

“Beautiful house, very good location. I highly recommend this place”

Baji chose for us the most comfortable bedroom available, that meant an upgrade to a 2 double bedroom 😍. Thank you for making our stay in Lamu super special!

“Disappointing”

It was cheap My room was very big

“A great choice for reasonable price.”

Jamala Guesthouse is very easy to get to. It's behind the fort so from the promenade in Lamu you take the first street left after the fort (when you go from Shela) and just go up the narrow street, watch a sign above the door to your left. The rooms are very nice and bed comfortable, shower is amazing. The breakfast was plenty with lots of fruits, egg and fresh juice. The staff is nice but of little help, if you need anything arranged you need to catch the manager. Payment is only possible in Ksh in cash. I found the green bank on the promenade having the best exchange rate (some shops exchange as well for considerably worse rate). You need an ID to get the money changed in the bank (open from 8am till 4pm weekdays). The public boat to the airport cost 200 Ksh and leaves from the left pier when facing the sea (10am). Public boat to Shela is also for 200Ksh (best before 4pm or when full) and mototaxi to Shela is for 100Ksh.
