Loved the house, pool and location. Quick walk to the beach. Lawrence, our chef, was brilliant. His prawn curry was amazing! Hannah, the host, was really helpful and organised our boat trip to and from the airport and was really helpful at giving us local information.

I loved the location and the simple quality of the accommodation. The housekeeper was very good and the facilities were lovely. Good consideration was made by the owners regarding the noisy building site nearby-thank you! We understand that this noisy inconvenience was totally out of your control.

The residence was quite okay and matches the photos provided. The staff were very friendly and helpful including activities to do around Lamu. Although small, the pool was a nice addition for the hot afternoons inside the premises.

Fantastic stay at Royal House, primarily thanks to the excellent service and friendliness of Baya and Omar who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location is great - both very central in Shela (1 min to the beach) and very quiet. The hotel is clean and comfortable, though shows some signs of wear and tear. We hope the new owners will continue to ensure its upkeep. Highly recommend.

Great place with no other than pedestrians and donkeys. Lovely locals and not to many visitors. A day spended out on sea, for fishing and snorkeling ia a must, fishermans are just the Kings!!
Seafood cooked at your place is a must, fishes, crabs, vegetables, all with great spices.
