Each member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.
Balsam, the host was extremely helpful answering all of our questions promptly. Martin, the chef, cooked us amazing food that never disappointed. I highly recommend his services. Levis, Ali,Josiah and Carlos looked after us all discretely and kept the Villa sparkling. They were super friendly and responsive to our needs.
The Villa is stunning, clean and had everything we needed. The air con and pool were very welcome also.

It was our first time in Lamu and Alejandra and Zion were great hosts, the communication was easy and they were very supportive. The house is beautiful and very authentic, it gives a very unique Lamu experience. It is located in the center of Lamu town, 2 minutes walk from the harbor.
The breakfast was made by Zion and it was delicious. Zion was a great help during the two days we spent at the house.
Umma House has a terrace and is situated in Lamu, within just 400 metres of Lamu Museum and 500 metres of Lamu Fort. Guests staying at this villa have access to a balcony.

If you're considering going to the old town of Lamu, this is the place to stay for sure! It has so many "extras", not just the room you book. The house has a lot of different seating areas, and we spent a lot of time at the rooftop terrace just listeing to the sounds of the town and feeling the breeze from the ocean. Since they only rent out 3 rooms, it feels very private, and the host Jamhuri is just the most friendly host who will to anything to make you feel at home (even showed us where to watch the Euros football matches). Hassan Hassan who picked us up at the airport, is also extremely friendly and helped us with a lot of things (like sending money, finding a tailor etc). Through the house, we also arranged for a very nice dhow trip with captain Marocco that is very much recommended (includes superb food!) We were once told that it is better to live in Shela and take daytrips to the old town, but I do not agree. It was great to actually feel the vibe of the old town by staying there and not just visiting. Even walking around at night felt safe, and everyone you meet is extremely friendly.
Perfect for families, groups or couples who enjoy luxury and independence while travelling. Enjoy the space and privacy of these fully-furnished, self-standing mansions — travellers can cook, lounge and explore at their leisure. Note that in Bali, a resort will also be called a villa.
The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.
Bassam, the host, was really nice. He was very responsive and proactive. He helped arrange our transfers from and to the airport, ensured there was staff throughout to assist with anything we needed assisted with planning our activities, helped us find a good chef. The staff were polite and helpful.
The villa itself is beautiful. What you see is what you get! Very spacious, well furnished. The AC was working well.
Mellisa was very helpful, giving us local contacts to make our stay easier and more relaxing. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance to both the village and the beach. The locals were also very friendly and helpful.
Very nice, affordable and well located house in Shela with the most amazing helpful staff, highly recommended! Breakfast was also very good and you have a nice view over the village from the comfortable lounge area at the rooftop. I would definitly stay there again.
