Everything..the staff,the people there ,food and location

Hunnie Kenya

The vibe was incredible. The kitchen is clean and ready to use. There is a creek (bay) near by for swimming with bioluminescence if you’re here when there is little moon. There are also monkeys in the trees and a gorgeous baobab tree.

Carol United States of America

It is a backpackers but we opted for a private room which was great. Remember it is an eco Lodge so rooms do not have glass windows. The private outside shower is great and the upgraded room we had has its own composting toilets. The evening is fun as guests lounge around and great music playing at the bar. I would also suggest taken the 10min walk down to beach to see the bioluminescent plankton.

Heinrich South Africa

The setting was calm and very relaxing. Loved the outdoor showers and delicious food. The staff were very welcoming and delightful.

Allyson Trinidad and Tobago

We loved the place, very beautiful, perfect to relax. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We would definetely go back to this place!

Marieke Kenya

I like their fully equipped kitchen, big relaxing area, nice bar and pool. Staff there are very friendly and helpful. Also, I was there on a Friday and they had a music event at night which was amazing!

Thuyvo Vietnam

Everything!!! John and Tito and the Lamu manager were dope!

Roena Netherlands

Had a very good stay, communal kitchen was great, 5 min walk to the creek and all the staff were amazing

Anonymous Indonesia

The establishment is absolutely fantastic! The staff and ambience were brilliant too. The open roof showers make everything that much more interesting!

Abishag Kenya

Great place to meet other travellers. The only toilets are a separate block of composting toilets which became tiresome but good for the environment. Think pizza night should be extended past just Friday if a pizza oven is in place! Good vibes.
