The location is very central in Lamu Old Town. Close to the port so easy to get to when arriving from Manda airport and anywhere else you might be traveling in from. The property is open and spacious, very clean and Zion was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The property is well equipped and each of the 3 rooms a good size. The pool was a nice option to cool off in. Le Dolce Toro is a great nearby coffee shop with outdoor space and Peponi Hotel was a lovely spot for lunch/dinner.

Beautiful hotel with the best breakfast in Lamu. Their fresh baked bread is famous. The staff were so wonderful and went above and beyond to look after guests and the rooms and shared spaces are beautifully styled and really comfortable. I spent a lot of time on the rooftop enjoying the view. I had 3 fans in my room which was great as I didn't get any of the cool breeze that came through the upper floors at night (I was on the lowest guest floor and facing another building).

Hotel is located close to the Lamu Town center, so it's convenient to walk into town. It's a small one with 4 or 5 rooms, and the local guy managing the hotel is just great and try to be helpful in any possible way. The house is a typical swahili, so lots of stairs but also nice rooftop terrace. The breakfast was good for Kenya standard, with options for western taste - lor of fruit, toast bread and and coffee.

The location right in the water provides beautiful views of the islands and sailing shows and cooler breezes to help with hot days. The place is beautifully appointed in Swahili style and the garden is lush with great pool. The food at the restaurant is top notch and the service is excellent. It is my fourth time visiting Lamu and I plan to come back. No place in Lamu matches Kijani Hotel.

Our stay on Manda’s side at Mangrove House was truly wonderful. The location is unmatched, the peace and quiet are absolute. The staff is wonderful and so is the owner, super attentive and ready to help and share. The house is right in front of Shela and Peponi hotel, just a short boat trip away. Would absolutely go back, and recommend it to everyone going to Lamu!

Location and the hotel architecture are wonderful if you like to stay some historical sites. If it’s available, book the third floor ocean view suit. Private porch, unbelievable ocean view, you won’t regret it. Breakfast is remarkably. Located right behind the Lamu fort. Staff in hotel are all helpful and friendly.

Great staff, super friendly and helpful. Kept the place clean. Grateful for the pool with Lamu hot days. Few of us ate lunch here one day & it was very tasty. Carol is brill, super responsive on the phone too. Got chatting to other guests at the pool and at breakfast, some from Kenya some from abroad.

Joseph and Mpanzi were very lovely and took good care of me. I enjoyed chatting with them and really felt like I had made new friends by the time I left. The house is large and clean and is well located in Shela. A very comfortable base to explore Lamu and its delights.

Conveniently located, but need a guide to find the house for the first time. Beautiful architecture with plenty of room to stretch out. Easy access to Lamu old town and Lamu House Hotel restaurant. Not a lot of other good restaurant choices nearby.

This hostel is located in a gorgeous old Swahili style house. The manager is the BEST. So helpful he even had me picked up at the airport. It is located in the center of Lamu town really close to everything. Rooms are quite big. WiFi worked very well.

Breakfast was great, with fresh fruits. The rooftop restaurant has a really great view of Lamu and the ocean. The rooms have a balcony area that is great to sit and relax. Especially loved the Lamu architecture.

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!!

Loved the pool, garden, spa, decor, food and I had a class with Joy Beldine the yoga teacher while in Lamu that was life affirming- she is amazing!

Location - location - location! The house is located right next to Lamu House Hotel and has the most amazing seaviews!

Best hotel room sea view in all Lamu! Breathtaking. The location is amazing. Comfortable bed and nice staff.

Everything was wonderful, the design is very tasteful, the staff is super on it and friendly, the food is good, the rooms are comfortable, everything is working well. It is kid friendly, but the kids aren't disturbing the others by the way of the layout. We had a great time!
