Totally wonderful, exquisitely-maintained centuries-old Swahili house.

Everything was great! Arnold is an excellent host, made us feel like we were visiting a friend. He was able to arrange different tours, give recommendations for places to eat and was able to accommodate our request for the extra bed on a late notice. The breakfast was superb! If you're looking for affordable accommodation and being close to Lamu culture and history, this is the place to stay!

Alloggiare nel cuore di Lamu in una tipica casa swhaili! La casa è molto bella con un fascino antico, ma è una vera casa più che un ostello o un albergo, per cui è come vivere alla loro maniera. Si sviluppa su più piani, come tutte le case di lamu, anche quelle che andrete a visitare quando farete il giro della città. Non ci sono vere porte o finestre, la casa è un tutt'uno con l'ambiente circostante. Io l'ho trovata molto bella, e secondo me si apprezza di più se ci si ferma qualche giorno. Il proprietario è un ragazzo gentilissimo e disponibile, vive nello stesso edificio ai piani bassi e vi darà consigli e informazioni su posto quando richieste. Se non si hanno grandi pretese e si chiude un occhio ad alcune scomodità è un posto perfetto per vivere appieno l'atmosfera del luogo.

Jamala Guesthouse, nestled in the heart of Lamu Old Town, was an absolute delight for us first-time visitors to Lamu. It provided a unique opportunity to deeply immerse ourselves in the local culture and connect with the welcoming people. The early morning calls to prayer from the surrounding mosques, for instance, became an integral part of the immersive experience. It is located just a short walk from the boat jetty which is super convenient! The host, Baji, was not only highly responsive but also incredibly helpful. Right from the moment we made our booking, he was readily available to provide us with all the information we needed. Baji even arranged a boat pick-up for us and an enriching Old Town Tour with Abu, who was an absolute delight to be around. The rooms at Jamala were both spacious and well-equipped with all the essentials, making it excellent value for money. The breakfast was also nice and balanced, with the option of tea/coffee, bread, eggs and fruit. There is also a kitchen available complete with a fridge that is available for guests to use. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Jamala again! Thank you to the team for making our inaugural visit to Lamu very memorable!😊😊
