Absolutely nothing at all! Loved everything.

The people ! Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Mildred was so helpful and kind. Additionally, the ambiance is so serene. Like a simple serenity. It’s an absolutely stunning property.

Everything was perfect. The hotel had suggestions for activities to do (walking tour, massage, dhow sail) and these were all first class and made our trip.

Lamu house is overlooking the sea with a magnificent view and a hub of activity. It’s a short walk to the port and close to the town and the boats.

Just a bit pricey for me

Beautiful

The very intimate, esthetic setting

Stayed in August 2025

The property is literally located in the main road. The noise from the neighbors and passersby could be heard in the property because the buildings are closely located to each other. As a light sleeper, I was easily woken up by outside conversations, clearly heard at night and early mornings.

The property is beachfront facing and close to all the attractions. The staff were friendly and made the stay comfortable. The property is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing if you are into a mix of modern and vintage. The restaurant also offers some good food if you are too lazy to dine outside.

We havent been to lamu for years and didn't know where to go. I found L H.and the stay was totally superb. The location is fantastic and right on the middle of lamu town , on the sea front but also, once inside , you'd never know you where in a town. The inner courtyard and pools and rest areas are like a hidden gem. The staff were totally amazing and could not have done enough for you. Esther to make bit a few people was incredible. The food is beautiful as is the rooms. The decor of the hotel is very in keeping and incredible. Could not have wished for a better stay !

Quite some mosquitoes

The space, the welcoming and attention to details. The staff and the service.

Stayed in September 2024

Noisy because it is on the main road. Construction was happening and started up loudly and continue through the day. Lots of flies at breakfast but the fans helped.

Beautiful hotel and I think the nicest is Lamu town. Beautiful pool in a central courtyard. Restaurant was relaxed and plentiful servings with included breakfast. Staff very friendly and I appreciated the glass water bottles, and sustainable use of reusable shampoos in glass bottles.

The decor and design, the hotel was stunning with beautiful decor all over. It had a beautiful courtyard that our room overlooked. Perfect location in rhetorical heart of lamu with a stunning view of the water. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The barman made the best cocktails! Food was great, breakfast was an incredible feast, recommend the Swahili breakfast.

Lamu Old Town is a step back in time, and if you remember that you can forgive the small transgressions of one accustomed to modernity..

The hotel was great, hanging out by the pool was wonderful. Reminded me of the Road hotels in Morocco with the pool in the centre open with plants around. The meals were all very tasty and portion sizes just right. The view from our balcony was informative and immersive to watch. Our room was kept spotless and netting around bed much appreciated, that being said we had only one mosquito bite between the two of us. Many people came by on the tour to take photos of the pool, I think the hotel was part of the tour of Old Town. Shout out to Esther at the front desk, always friendly and took care of any needs we had. Wifi was excellent.

Design, pool, food was great and location. Also the local tour and rest of services were great.

Stayed in August 2023

My only reservation was that it was hot in the rooms as there is no air-conditioning but large fans in the rooms keep the room just about cool enough to sleep. We were there, however, in a very hot period.

The staff were really accommodating, couldn't do enough for you. Rooms were very authentic and clean. Food in the restaurant was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We liked it all. However the pool could have been a tad cleaner

The hotel was charming and of historical interest. We thought it was beautifully decorated and we loved it

There were just a few things that could be improved. We needed a bottle opener in the room, to open the bottles of drinking water provided. There was no WiFi code in the bedroom, and we felt that the organisation of the transport to the airport left us a bit uncertain whether it would actually happen on time.

Location was great. Restaurant friendly, and the food was tasty. I loved the old Lamu building style, and having a balcony overlooking the busy waterfront. The room was airy and cool with plenty of space. It was nice to have daybed on the veranda. The courtyard pool is very attractive and the vegetation lovely.
