LAMU HOUSE

LAMU HOUSE

📍 Kenyatta Road, Seafront, Lamu
★★★★ 8.9 (42 reviews)

"Lamu House is truly unique in the warmth, positivity and kindness of the staff. We were treated and looked after like family; the staff really could not have gone above and beyond to look after us. A special thanks to Joyce, Esther, Hulda, Benson, Cecil and David. The hotel itself is magnificent ((photos do not do it justice) and the food sublime. The location is perfect for exploring Lamu Old Town and Shela is easily accessible by boat (which Lamu House arranged.) It was so very sad to leave this inimitable gem of a hotel. We would highly recommend Lamu House to anyone travelling to the island and we shall definitely be returning!"

The Red Pepper House

The Red Pepper House

📍 Coconut Beach, Lamu
★★★★ 10 (8 reviews)

"We had such a good stay here. The views are wonderful, the rooms are so comfortable and the staff are excellent. We had great trips on the House dhow - the sundowner and the day trip to a beautiful beach. We also had a very good guided tour of Lamu town. The staff are amazing. They did a musical evening for us, and all came down to the beach to say goodbye as we left. This is absolutely the lace to stay on Lamu"

LAMU HOUSE ★★★★
"Great hotel and fantastic service! Highly recommend. The food is lovely at the restaurant and pool area is a perfect spot to relax in the afternoon. Esther was very helpful and organise quick transportation when needed, even helping ship missing items when I left them behind. Will be back for sure!"

JamboHouse Lamu ★★★
"Stayed at JamboHouse for 3 nights. Was picked up at the airport which made it super easy to catch a boat to Lamu! Greeted by Arnold who told me in detail about the range of tours, restaurants and areas to visit on Lamu which was very useful! The rooms were basic but clean with a safe box and two fans. Very comfortable to stay in and great location if you want to stay in Old town Lamu :) the outdoor seating area was lovely and clean Breakfast was great with juice, fruit, tea, coffee and a variety of eggs and toast. Went on the sunset walk with Zion the guide and it was lovely! Tried some coconut wine at the locals bar in the village on the way to the sand dunes and saw a lovely sunset. Would recommend to friends and family "

The Red Pepper House ★★★★
"If you travel solo this place is a haven!! Amazing staff, especially the manager. Very quiet, next to the beach. Amazing food (food included in your booking), you can also ask for activities outside the hotel and they can arrange for you. Good warm pool and they make good drinks. Reliable internet should you need to work. Very very comfortable rooms. I have been here every year from 2022 and I love it!"
