JamboHouse Lamu is set in Lamu, 300 metres from Gallery Baraka, 500 metres from Lamu Museum, and 500 metres from 18th Century Swahili House Museum. It is situated 300 metres from Lamu Fort and offers luggage storage space. In addition to free WiFi, the property also features a sun terrace as well as beauty services. I liked that the house was right in the middle of community houses, which made me feel more connected to the old town. The breakfast that Arnold made was amazing and I really liked the vibe of the place. There were plenty of dining places nearby and all of the host's recommendation was 10 on 10.

Set in Lamu, 200 metres from 18th Century Swahili House Museum, Beytsalam offers accommodation with a garden, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, and luggage storage space. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Breakfast was really nice, with a choice between Swahili and English style and it was served on the cozy rooftop terrace with views of the sea. I was lucky to be upgraded to their spacious and well-appointed "executive" suite on the third floor. Omar and Lilian were great to deal with at breakfast and with laundry etc., I appreciated the help they provided in many ways and look forward to coming again.
