Not enough electric plugs, electricity outages

Nice authentic design choices, clean, just off the Main Street.

The house was made in the original lamu traditional style , it is right behind another house but only 10 meters away from the corniche in Lamu.

There were insects under one of the beds, winged ants or something Not all the owner's recommendations for local businesses were good.

Excellent location, right on the boardwalk. One of very few with air conditioning on Lamu Very resourceful and accomodating owner

Only the sink/ bassin in the bathroom of the Apartment could have been a bit larger. But this is just a hint, not a complain.

The staff was really friendly and organised a boat taxi from airport in advance. Despite of a technical overbooking they found a good solution for all travellers. Instead of the booked room we got an Apartment next door. The Location ist perfect to walk around Lamu Town and visit the fort and Museum and the small shops in the second row roads. The breakfast was good. You could choose between Continental or Suaheli breakfast. We had both.

Not the hotels's fault, but the power was off quite a lot and the room gets hot without AC. Was also not impressed with Lamu overall. It's a poor community with a lot of ruins and poorly maintained buildings. It's also very conservative and islamic, you'll get in trouble for kissing in public, wearing a tank top or shorts, taking photos and it's hard to find alcohol. They say it's Africa's Mecca, so it might be more enjoyable for Muslims. I never felt unsafe but there were always locals swarming around me trying to sell me something or begging.

It's a charming old house, quite well maintained. Rooms were clean. Decent WiFi when it works. Own generator providing air conditioning during the frequent power outages we experienced.

Good WiFi first day, but later failed.

Diligently renovated historic building, clean, a few steps from the corniche (no swimming).

It was a bit small.

The beds were good, the wifi, the location. The breakfast everything good. We could even stay in the room on the day of departure until 3pm without extra payment. . Because of the airplane.

Communication with the establishment prior to our arrival could have been better.

Good and comfortable facility, with easy access to a variety of amenities. A great place from which to explore Lamu.

There's no lift, which was fine for us, but helpful to know.

Great location, rooftop breakfast (Swahili was better than the American style). We had an issue on our last night and the staff immediately rectified it.

The bathroom flooded and is quite small. The access to the hotel also gets a lot of puddles and mud.

The staff was really kind and supportive, even if they where not on site all of the time. Really nice breakfast.

The breakfast was the same every morning. In one room the main view was a wall.

The rooms were comfortable. The beds were great. The hotel was close to the water front.

location, even close to the pier, it's impossible to walk freely without someone try to sell you something.

clean, mosquito nets, hot shower, ok breakfast. You can organize tours from hotel staff. 30 min walk to the beach, very good restaurant beside the accomodation (Lamu house)

location and a big and comfortable room. Helpful staff.

Stayed in April 2022

The towels were not changed at all and the WiFi didn't connect from the second day onwards. Room next to ours was playing loud music. We had a remote control but no TV in the room 🙄

The breakfast was really filling, comfortable bed, the fan and air conditioning provisions. Hotel is close to most social amenities, restaurants and just at the waterfront making it easy to explore the islands. The hotel has beautiful views from the rooftop terrace where breakfast is served. We were offered a bottle of water for each day.

The Hustle to get us on a boat to airport. We didn't want to get a boat, we were asking if we could leave our luggage with you and take a boat later. We ended up walking around town with full luggage for over an hour as you didn't listen..just ran out calling boatman when we didn't want one yet. Why wouldn't you keep our luggage? Why did manager say there was a public boat to airport then William say there was only private boats?

Great value for money. Lovely rooftop setting for breakfast. Rooms have great character and look.

one of first floor rooms damp and smell. Staircase walls need paint

Breakfast good. View excellent. Concern that adjoining property currently in progress may block view

Great location in Old Lamu Town. Was incredible to have a place to return to with A/C after exploring the island in the heat. Staff was really kind, and super responsive. Had an issue one morning where the power went out, and they came over and got everything fixed in like 10 minutes.
