JamboHouse is a great place to stay if you want to explore Lamu. It's in the middle of the Old Town and has a great terrace to relax and enjoy the views. Arnold is an amazing host and provides you with all the information you need to enjoy the city(restaurants, activities, transport etc.). The breakfast (banana pancakes is amongst the options!) was the best we had during our trip!

Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

AMU house is a beautiful old and carefully restaured historical house. And the terrace on the roof top is perfect for relaxing and reading. The right place when you prefer the authentic life of Lamu to the touristy places of Shela.

Probably one of the most beautiful properties you could find on the island. For a creative professional, being at every corner of Swahili Dreams Apartments was a pure joy, every detail is so well curated. The private apartment was really spacious and had so much air while the common space tempts you to lounge there all day. Bravo to the team and the architect! It is a masterpiece we will remember for long.
