Beautiful and spacious villa with stunning design - staying here you feel like royalty. The house staff are absolutely amazing with fantastic service and attention to detail. Definitely hire the chef and take your meals outside by the pool. Air conditioning was a huge plus. Fantastic stay.

Beautiful hotel and I think the nicest is Lamu town. Beautiful pool in a central courtyard. Restaurant was relaxed and plentiful servings with included breakfast. Staff very friendly and I appreciated the glass water bottles, and sustainable use of reusable shampoos in glass bottles.

We were regular visitors at Kijani house from 2007 to 2010 but hesitated going back due to change in mgmt. But we were so pleasantly surprised. We stayed in the King suite which even without aircon was very comfortable and breezy with beautiful views. The restaurant is also beautiful and the food is delicious. The pool is not very big but was never crowded. Everything was perfect. We had a lovely stay.

The location is nice, you are in the heart of Shella. There is a private doctor clinic next door, and convenience stores. The pool is a great bonus as not many locations have one. The rooftop dining and lounge area are lovely with great views of the islands. Staff are kind, helpful and welcoming.

Jannat was the best place I could possibly think of booking in Lamu. It's super close to everything.but it is quiet at night. The staff is amazing! The pool is nice and clean. The sunsets are to die for. The room was simple but very clean and comfy. And they make amazing food!

If you want an authentic experience in Lamu, stay here. Host Malik is excellent and responsive and very caring. He arranged all of our excursions with reliable informative guides and boats. We were prepared for mosquitoes but we really didn't have much issue with mosquitoes. Very affordable. The markets and shops in from the beach front are wonderful and Malik was perfectly willing to take us around which made us feel much more comfortable.
