We had a truly memorable and amazing experience staying 4 nights & 5 days at Umma house. We had a warm and welcoming greeting from the staff Zeinab and Farid who were amazing. Zeinab stayed in contact the whole time and she booked all of our activities for us. We gave her a budget and what we wanted and she made sure everything was organised and that our stay was stress free so we could just focus on enjoying Lamu. On our last day she let us check out later at 1pm because our flight was at 2:55 which was amazing so we could enjoy our final houra. Farid is the young house keeper and he was exceptional. He did all of the house work including laundry, dishes, ironing, cleaning the house and pool everyday and he even went out to the markets to get our groceries. He was so friendly and we were able to go with him to the markets and he showed us around and was helpful with anything we needed. If he is there you can ask him to show you around and he is very enthusiastic to do whatever you need to make the most of your stay in Lamu.
The house itself is beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the pool and on the rooftops for sunset drinks. There are lots of different areas in the house to relax including 3 different balconies / roof tops. The best bedroom in the house is located on the top floor which has a lot of stairs so may not be suitable for elderly or people who struggle getting up stairs. This didnt bother us though and we got used to it quickly, it is so worth it for the amazing big bedroom! Umma house is located in Lamu old town so you are bound to hear the mosques and prayers but it is a beautiful way to experience the true essence and culture of Lamu and the prayers only last 5-10 minutes at most. If you are easily disturbed by loud noises then maybe bring ear plugs but if you are genuinely interested in the rich culture of Lamu then it should not be a problem.

Beautiful house with private pool, spacious bedrooms and several terraces to hang out on. Great location in old Lamu, close to shops, museums and the sea with great boat rides to wonderful beaches Manda and Shela.
One of the nicest accommodations in Kenya i have been so far. Arnold is a great host who has a lot of tips for Lamu. The place is very clean and ideally located in Lamu Town.
The location is perfect to enjoy shela and lamu and the hotel is very clean Tom, the charger, is fantastic and the breakfast is very complete and yummy!!
Amu house is stunning, really it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in and was quite sad when the time came to leave. It has beautiful architecture and furniture, very clean with really friendly owners and staff. There are lots of chill out spaces in the communal areas and very centrally located.
The staff were super helpful, to organize arrival, breakfast every morning (which was amazing), and any other query. The rooms very very clean, and new. The design of the building was also very nice.
We stayed two nights the whole family (5 persons) and we loved the house from the first minute. It was very clean and in perfect conditions of use. The decoration and distribution is really nice. The bath rooms in perfect conditions and very comfortable, also the bedrooms (the family room is incredible). But the best of all is Moses, who is very friendly and helpful and prepares amazing breakfast. And helped us to contact captain Bubu, who brought us in his dhow between the islands. Very recomendable if you go to Lamu.
The owner of the house and the staff are amazing. I felt home! They were very very supportive with everything I needed. The house has very good vibes. Breakfast is super complete and both common areas and the room are very clean. I highly recommend Shiban House!
very clean and conducive environment
