    It was an incredible experience! The staff went above and beyond, giving us personalized recommendations and even taking us to the chemist. The chef is a true culinary genius, creating mouth-watering dishes that left us speechless. The location was perfect, within walking distance of everything. The decor was enchanting, and the staff were patient and accommodating. The meals were delicious, especially the Swahili-style dishes. The patio was perfect for stargazing. The owner and the team were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The fresh crab dinner was a must-try. The welcome with cold towels and fresh juice was a delightful surprise. We felt like the only guests in the whole house. We can't wait to return!

    The ambiance of the old building with lots of character and high standard decorations. Easy access to the harbour for exploring Lamu. Incredibly accommodating staff. Personalized service for special requests like champagne and birthday cake. Spacious and beautifully decorated rooms. Excellent dinner with a highly recommended fresh crab dish. An oasis-like feel and friendly host, Mr Safari, who goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. the chef, Abu, prepares outstanding meals, ranging from fancy dishes to street food.

    Felt immediately at home, nothing to complain about.

    the spacious suite had a patio with a stunning view of the water. the staff was extremely attentive, providing lovely touches like fresh flowers in the room each morning. the food prepared by the chef was absolutely spectacular. the house had a peaceful atmosphere, yet it was conveniently located in the middle of town, allowing for easy access to everything.

    Limited dining options in town during quieter periods.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning boutique hotel in a charming town. The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, with a touch of Swahili style. The common area was massive, offering a perfect place to unwind. The staff, especially Safari, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was extraordinary. From arranging a private dhow trip to their exceptional service, they made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend this hotel for your stay in this amazing town. we would definitely recommend this place.

    What a treat! This place is mind-blowing. From the beautiful location to the stunning building, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff, especially the accommodating and hilarious Safari, were super impressive. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable. The chef, Abu, is a wizard in the kitchen. His divine food took our taste buds on a journey. The rest of the staff were extremely helpful and attentive, addressing all our worries and concerns. The interior decor with Swahili themes added an enchanting vibe, and the patio area was perfect for stargazing. The facilities were top-notch, and the staff's kindness and helpfulness set this place apart. We are forever grateful for their endless hospitality.
