The aesthetic of this place is everything. The pool although I had a reaction to it later(too much chemicals poured in?). The kitchen has everything you’ll need, the work poured into this place can be seen, the owner should be proud of themselves. The people working there are nice.

“Exceptional stay at Lamu”

Clean and friendly staff. Zeinab and Martin were very resourceful…

Very spacious, great view and location was just superb. The host and caretakers were amazing too. The ambience, the decorations and art represented Lamu to the core. Glad I chose them for my stay.

The location was near to the road

“Absolutely amazing”

Clean space, lovely people. Big enough rooms

“Pleasant stay overall”

Clean, spacious, looks exactly like photographs and has a clean pool. Had the most relaxing massage by Juliet! Highly recommend her massage service.

Nice and spacious

“The best place to stay in Lamu”

The Swahili architecture is amazing, it’s cool there even without AC, the indoor pool. It’s simply perfect to stay there.

A very beautiful house with large apartments and the outstanding design/ architecture of Urko Sanchez

Very spacious and clean

“Enchanting stay, thanks Martin & Tariq!”

Absolutely beautiful property, stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Super clean and almost enchanting. I’d say it’s an architectural triumph. Martin, Tariq and the staff made it even more worthwhile. They were very kind and professional. Ensured that I had everything I needed for my stay.

“Very nice stay - enjoyed the apartment and pool - location is good -Mosque nearby”

The apartment was airy and spacious - loved having a balcony with a view. Bed was comfortable with a good mosquito net and ceiling fan. Enjoyed a swim in the pool to cool off. Staff were helpful and kind. The house interior generally is very beautiful.

“Responsive, gracious and helpful hosts. Clean and well furnished rooms.”

Swahili Dreams Apartments is nestled in a residential neighbourhood within Lamu Old Town. The property is a 10 minute walk to the nearest shops and restaurants, and about a 5 minute walk to the main street or pier. The rooms are well furnished, and clean, with loads of space in the living area. The kitchen is well set up, however I would recommend only carrying breakfast items, and eating out for the rest of your stay. The host Zeinab is was incredibly hospitable, and will help you organise any trips or excursions to Shela, Manda and anywhere else you'd like to go.

The bed is hard. The mattress is hard. I’m not sure if there is warm water.

“Too Many Mosquitoes and Noisy neighbours ..”

...nothing much to like about this property ..

“Relaxed and clean”
