Joseph went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The room and the roof were lovely and sparkling clean. Joseph arranged dhow tours for us and guided us back to the hotel every night through the winding streets — we can’t thank him enough for his help and always smiling face!

The place is big and well equipped. It's also very clean.
If you are looking for air conditioning and hot water, this is not the place but honestly I didn't need them during my staying. I advice this place for solo travellers.
The place is very central. You find everything you need, from historical places to markets and restaurants.
Joshua, the owner of the place is a very kind person, always available and committed to improve your staying.

Very noisy. Room facing a house of locals cooking, yelling, baby crying. No way to sleep. We left after one night and I am very unhappy because I had to pay 3
We had a great stay here. Despite the power being out in all of Lamu, we made it work and the place was clean and comfortable. Jivanjee was a great host and greated us at the beginning and end of our stay as well as connected us to local guides.
The place was clean. The staff were so good especially Peter the house keeper and Abu who was our chef. Its private so you get to enjoy your space. Spacious rooms and clean beddings. Also Tarik is such a good host he gave us contacts of people who would be able to offer us assistance incase we needed any and hence our stay was seamless and very easy.
Mohammed is a very great host. He welcomed me so nicely and offered a guide to show me around Lamu. We also made a food arrangement and him and his family cooked for me for the whole of my stay there which was affordable as food can be quite tricky when new. You will feel at home. I loved the upstairs rooms because of the ventilation, so would highly recommend those. It's also situated 7 minutes away from the main street so it will give you a good tour of old town when figuring out old town. Overall a great experience for budget travellers
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.
Location, very strong wifi, friendly and helpfully staff.
Faryda is a very good host, she will help you with anything and cook lovely pilau. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. See you next time.
Arnold was a great host. The room we booked was very comfortable with a clean and nice bed. The rooftop has a great view of Lamu. The breakfast was well priced and filling.
