Arnold runs this place since 2008. He knows everything about Lamu and the area. He has prepared a special map and has a welcoming session with every guest. He has many suggestions about your stay in Lamu. As well it seems that everybody in Lamu knows Arnold. The place is basic, but clean and the biggest asset are three very large terraces with an excellent view on the town and the sea. JumboHouse run by Arnold is an ideal location in Lamu.

I loved my time at Shela Bliss. The owner was so kind, always available to help, organized fun activities every day, and made amazing breakfasts with fresh juices every morning. Felt like staying with a friend! I was really impressed by how clean and well-kept the place was. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were all fresh and tidy-it made the stay so comfortable. Abdullah clearly takes pride in the place, and it shows! Would happily stay again.

Our stay on Manda’s side at Mangrove House was truly wonderful. The location is unmatched, the peace and quiet are absolute. The staff is wonderful and so is the owner, super attentive and ready to help and share. The house is right in front of Shela and Peponi hotel, just a short boat trip away. Would absolutely go back, and recommend it to everyone going to Lamu!

One of the best places to stay in Lamu, with an amazing terrace in a spectacular house. There are a lot of good and not expensive restaurants around. The owner of the house did all to make it more than comfortable, arranged a pick up from the airport, gave me a free upgrade of the room, asked every day if I need or wish something, helped to find a amazing boat tour and enable to stay in the house a few hours longer. Thank you so much Stephen, and also thanks to Michael the caretaker. See you next time!

The view from our room was amazing 😍 . The staff is excellent. They were very friendly, warm and welcoming, always ready to provide information and assistance. Their service was top-notch. Joel and the rest of the team were wonderful. The room including the balcony had a lot of space and plenty of areas to just sit and relax. The hotel is in a quiet area which is perfect when you're on holiday to rest and relax.

The place was clean. The staff were so good especially Peter the house keeper and Abu who was our chef. Its private so you get to enjoy your space. Spacious rooms and clean beddings. Also Tarik is such a good host he gave us contacts of people who would be able to offer us assistance incase we needed any and hence our stay was seamless and very easy.

Great cheaper option in Shela, perfect location just a few minutes walk to the beach. The room was clean and had a fan for the heat, and there is a nice pool. Staff were helpful and friendly, the continental breakfast was okay, they offered a Swahili option for the second day but I unfortunately had to leave early before trying but I would recommend asking for that if you're interested. Overall I think it was a great option for the price, and I would stay again :)

After a slight misunderstanding as to the day or arrival, Elizabeth and Cornelius promptly managed to solve the issue and pick us up and have the house ready for us. The staff was always courteous and available to help us. Steven, the cook, cooked wonderful meals as per our requests and we settled all bills directly with him. The swimming pool is marvelous and the terrace is also a wonderful spot when the breeze flows. Highly reccomendable if you prefer to stay in Lamu old Town to explore historic sights, rather than in Shela.
