This was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. The bungalows are amazing, every little decoration thought through, with wonderful views of the sand dunes, I felt like I was in paradise. The food is great, staff extremely kind and helpful and the location stunningly beautiful. The place felt very much chich and high end in spite of being an eco-resort: the bed was amazingly comfortable, the bathroom spacious and clean and the room overall was just stunningly beautiful and comfortable. They even gave a kenyan phone and a bluetooth speakers, which I thought was brilliant.
For the price, I found this resort to be a steal and I hope to be back someday. If you're looking for a place immersed in nature where to disconnect and soak in the beauty of starry skies, sand dunes and empty beaches, look no further.
Located in Lamu and with 18th Century Swahili House Museum reachable within a 1-minute walk, LAMU HOUSE has concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar.

Beautiful hotel and I think the nicest is Lamu town. Beautiful pool in a central courtyard. Restaurant was relaxed and plentiful servings with included breakfast. Staff very friendly and I appreciated the glass water bottles, and sustainable use of reusable shampoos in glass bottles.
Located in Shela, 2 minutes' walk from Shela beach and a 10 minutes' boat ride from Lamu Town UNESCO Heritage Site, Msafini Hotel offers an outdoor pool and a restaurant.

Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer:
1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable.
2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful.
3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice.
4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there
5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.

We were looking for privacy and relaxation as well as some outings to get to know Lamu better so our location on Manda island with private boat service to anywhere was ideal
Some recommendable eating places included peponi and kijani hotels in Shela, garden restaurant on Lamu sea front
We also enjoyed Lamu museum and the Flip-floppy enterprise for recycling all kinds of waste plastics

Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history.
Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history. The people are very friendly and welcoming. For instance - the town can be like a labyrinth, which makes it a bit challenging sometimes to find spots - even with Google Maps. Either people ask you if you need help or you can ask them and they show you the way - many of them even walked us to the location. This experience was so wonderful - I would definitely come back again.

Great, quaint town.
Great, quaint town. The scent of the donkey excrement is off-putting but seeing them is sublime. Being a coastal town, there are many ‘captains’. I had my transport pre-organized with my accommodation so be weary of that and potential scams, as well as the impromptu tour guides. Touch water, take a sunset sail boat ride, and visit the beach, maybe even Shela. Locals were very nice and friendly, warm welcomes. Affordable restaurants as well, Sailor’s Joint for example. I stayed at Subira House.

A beautiful resort, with many amenities with a lot of details paid to the decor. Unfortunately, not the same attention was given to the 3 restaurants. Poor quality food with a limited selection except for a very nice breakfast buffet. Had confirmed a twin bedded room, but did not receive one. The beds are extremely firm as the mattress sits on a cement platform but does have a nicely hung mosquito net.
Easy access across the water to Lamu.

the owner was always attentive to help us before arrival, with relevant communications and was waiting for us at the port to get to his accommodation. He was always attentive to solve our needs and to show us how to open and close the padlock or the entrance door. Very attentive and cordial.
It is worth mentioning that it is the cheapest accommodation available there. It is suitable for true travelers with few resources. For 6 euros per night you can't expect more comfort.
AMU house is a beautiful old and carefully restaured historical house. And the terrace on the roof top is perfect for relaxing and reading. The right place when you prefer the authentic life of Lamu to the touristy places of Shela.
Thank you, Mary and Hussein for your hospitality, for your time, for organizing a stunning sailing trip, and for our unforgettable walk on Manda Island.
One of the best locations we’ve stayed during our trip in Kenya. It has everything: beautiful rooms
and house (eye for detail), most welcoming staff, delicious breakfast, comfortable bed, it is close to restaurants and clean. We would definitely recommend to stay here!
