Authentische Unterkunft in Lamu, die mit viel Liebe eingerichtet wurde. Alles war sauber. Der gesamte Ablauf lief reibungslos ab, Malik war als Manager eine hervorragende Unterstützung.

Es steht in der Beschreibung, es gibt keine AC, die Nacht war heiß.

If you want an authentic experience in Lamu, stay here. Host Malik is excellent and responsive and very caring. He arranged all of our excursions with reliable informative guides and boats. We were prepared for mosquitoes but we really didn't have much issue with mosquitoes. Very affordable. The markets and shops in from the beach front are wonderful and Malik was perfectly willing to take us around which made us feel much more comfortable.

Morning islamic prayers at 5 AM were a bit surprising but you get used to it and they last 15-20 minutes and then you just fall back asleep. It definitely added to the authenticity and we preferred this place then staying a a sterile resort down the beach in Shela. If you are looking for beach access outside your front door this is not the place for you.

We had a good stay at this lovely Swahili-style house, which is hidden away in the back streets of Lamu old town, with great views over the rooftops to the sea. It's nicely furnished and decorated, with airy and bright open living areas. A good place for one or two nights, if you want to be based in the old town, and a very good price. Swahili-style breakfast, with samosas, sweet pastries, and fresh fruit. Malik is friendly and helpful.

It really is hidden away in the narrow, run-down back streets of Lamu. Some will like that, others less so. Although only recently done up, it already feels a little tired around the edges and a little dusty in the open living areas. But for the price you pay, this place is a good choice.

A traditional Lamu building in the historic centre of Lamu with some interesting features, like the open plan roof top room and plunge pool on the ground floor. The building has been well refurbished and well maintained. We upgraded to the Apartment on the third floor for extra space and privacy. The host Malik is very friendly and respectful and assisted us organise a couple of activities with experienced guides. The house is in a good safe location, calm and close to the main areas of activity. A very different experience from our stay in Shela and we would recommend it to other visitors.

No fresh ground coffee making facilities for that essential morning kick, Kenya is noted for its coffee production would have been interested in buying product to take home. That said the owners are just starting out and I bet thing will get more experienced focussed
