Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The location is great, right in the heart of Shela on the beach. The restaurant on the rooftop is gorgeous and the menu is excellent - also with veg / vegan options!

Simply amazing place! Highly recommend it. Beautiful house in an amazing garden, lovely view from the rooftop restaurant. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast as well as all other dishes just a dream. Go for the crab and the local grilled fish! So many more positive things I could add here, let yourself surprise! Shela is probably also just the best location to be if you are in doubt.

We spent 3 unforgettable days in the hotel and we are extremely pleased with our experience. The breakfast was excellent as well as the dinners we had at the hotel restaurant. The seafood plateau we had at New Year's Eve dinner was especially impressive. The best thing about Kijani hotel, however, is the staff - extremely kind and attentive, always ready to assist guests. We liked very much the snorkeling with dhow boat organized by the hotel.

The most beautiful position, right next to the Indian Ocean and the fishermen dhous

Very nice hotel right by the water and the boats in lovely Shela on Lamu. Good atmosphere. Nice restaurant with good food selection. Very happy about the service as well. Would really recommend this place!

Awesome location, delicious food, a very diverse drinks menu and ever attentive staff :) The rooms were comfortable, didn't get to spend much time there though.

The room was really clean and the roses decor was beautiful, i love the antique ambience in the bathroom and the lighting in the whole area, loved loved the se view from the room and the amazing roof top bar and restaurant. A hidden Gem!

Staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and very pleasant. The food was very good and tasty. Fred was/is a good communicator, he was quick with responding and efficient. Loved the flowers and leaf messages on our beds. 😊

The breakfast was delicious and you could choose what you want out of the options provided to you. The terrace was lovely. The staff was hospitable.

Great breakfast selection, food delicious and healthy
