Beautifully decorated and clean with an excellent, friendly, and attentive staff , great location with easy walking distance to all activities and beautiful views from the top floor. Building had generators so we still had power when power went out in the area.

The location is fantastic—just a short walk from great restaurants and charming coffee shops. Getting into Lamu town was also hassle-free. The accommodation itself is immaculate—spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with breathtaking views. The terrace with Swahili-style couches was a perfect spot to unwind, soak in the scenery, and enjoy the sea breeze. We also felt safe and at ease throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious with fresh juices and fruits that added a refreshing touch to our mornings. Abdalla, the owner, was quite helpful and communicative. He provided us with useful recommendations, arranged our boat transfers to and from Manda Airport, and even booked a stunning sunset dhow cruise. Emmanuel, who manages the place, was always ready to assist whenever needed, ensuring our stay was smooth and comfortable.

Super cozy, spacious, full of light, with all amenities, drinking water, non stop electricity even during power cuts, great ventilation, chilled vibe and above all a constant support by Chris and Reuben, who have been great in all terms and made us feel like home. Thank you Sai Shanti. We will be back!

The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.

Staying at Beytul Habaib was a great cultural experience. The mix of modern and traditional decor was beautiful, and David's service was excellent. The two-bedroom apartment was perfect for our family. We enjoyed cooking and felt right at home. The views were amazing, with stunning scenes of the island and ocean from every angle. Being close to the beach was a big plus, and my children loved playing there.

Stop over is one of the first guest houses you notice when arriving in shella situated directly on the oceanfront.It is such a great place! Very nice rooms clean, and beautifully furnished.The staff could not be more welcoming and friendly! Breakfast was decent! The view of the ocean from the guest house was simply mind-blowing!!! For sure the best place to stay in Shella for that price bracket, talking from experience having visited a couple others before which are way inside the village. Will definitely come back here! Highly recommended
