I was fascinated by the the numerous gazebos where you could relax especially at night when it was cooler than being in the room , the breakfast was exceptional and the staff were helpful and polite. Had dinner at the house almost everyday during my stay and I enjoyed every meal.

The staff working at Jannat House are all very pleasant and attentive. Caroline was especially welcoming. The location in Lamu old town was great but only 5 minutes walk to the sea. The hotel is comprised of old buildings and has a lot of character. Breakfast was good and diner ordered in advance was well prepared and tasty. I found it great value for money and would have loved to stay longer if I could.

“Romantic stay at the traditional house with the best staff”
Jannat house is very very romantic! The house is built in typical Swahili style and it lies in the centre of Lamu. It is super cosy, beautiful, rustic with many beautiful plants around and an amazing small pool in the centre of the house, next to a bar. The highlight (besides romantic style of the house with many balconies and stairs) were the people working there! Caroline and the rest of the staff were amazing! super cool, helpful, constantly around making sure we have everything we need. They also prepare the freshest food and the breakfasts were great. Thank you so so much fot this beautiful experience! They are also well known in Lamu and well conected and can help you with tips on where to go and how to reach it. Great!! Thanks so much, I hope I see you guys soon!

“An oasis of peace in Lamu old town”
This house is so beautiful! You have many terraces to relax, the pool always clean and available. The rooms are essentials but clean. It is right in Lamu old town, and it is an oasis of peace. The breakfast here is amazing (with fruits and eggs) and they change it every day. The owner also gave us good recommendations for fish restaurants.
