Makubwa House, hotel in Shela

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, sea view and a terrace, Makubwa House is situated in Lamu.

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.

    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.
