This place never disappoints. This was my second time staying here and it still exceeded my expectations.
The flat I stayed in was spacious and thoughtfully designed with some artful collections of antique Swahili style furniture. There was access to a private fully equipped kitchenette with an adjacent outdoor dining/ lounging area. The room was airy and well ventilated and also had a very spacious bathroom that had great shower pressure!
Joshua is an exceptional host, responsive, warm and welcoming and very attentive. He has even made provisions for Solar lights in case of power outages which were infrequent during my stay and only lasted a few minutes at a time.
The Wilderbeeste provides all the comforts and necessities of a home away from home yet its quirky and historical design provides a sense of adventure and novelty needed for a retreat!
Can't wait to return for a longer stay!

Featuring a garden, Jamala Guesthouse is situated in Lamu in the Coast region, 43 metres from Lamu fort. Popular points of interest around the property include Old Jetty (Lamu) and Water well. Some units at the property have a balcony with a garden view. Jamala Guesthouse, nestled in the heart of Lamu Old Town, was an absolute delight for us first-time visitors to Lamu. It provided a unique opportunity to deeply immerse ourselves in the local culture and connect with the welcoming people. The early morning calls to prayer from the surrounding mosques, for instance, became an integral part of the immersive experience. It is located just a short walk from the boat jetty which is super convenient! The host, Baji, was not only highly responsive but also incredibly helpful. Right from the moment we made our booking, he was readily available to provide us with all the information we needed. Baji even arranged a boat pick-up for us and an enriching Old Town Tour with Abu, who was an absolute delight to be around. The rooms at Jamala were both spacious and well-equipped with all the essentials, making it excellent value for money. The breakfast was also nice and balanced, with the option of tea/coffee, bread, eggs and fruit. There is also a kitchen available complete with a fridge that is available for guests to use. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Jamala again! Thank you to the team for making our inaugural visit to Lamu very memorable!😊😊

Beautiful big room with lovely views from the terrace. Great location, quiet and walkable to the beach, restaurants etc, with a really nice spa right across from the centre. Staff very helpful and supportive with arranging tours and trips.
Amazing hosts and caretakers, always there to help and very kind. Lovely small touches, like flowers in the room and tips on what to do. Great location by the Seafront, with a beautiful view from the room and rooftop terrace.
A remarkable property, full of history and character, and stylishly decorated. Our quiet room and private terrace at the back of the hotel overlooked charming rooftops, with dhows on the sea in the distance. The multiple pools, each set in its own secluded courtyard, are perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the island or the historic Old Town, and the waterside restaurant is totally delightful. Best of all, the team are so warm, welcoming and genuine - they really embody the spirit of Lamu and Kenya.
Arnold was a great host. The room we booked was very comfortable with a clean and nice bed. The rooftop has a great view of Lamu. The breakfast was well priced and filling.
Great location. Proximity to the beach was great. Beautiful upper terrace for relaxation on the property. Quiet and peaceful.
Staying in a Shwahili house is a great experience!! Joshua was a great host.
In my experience, the best place to stay in Lamu town and, if you're in for a more authentic experience, the best place to stay in Lamu Island. The house is an old traditional Swahili house and living there is a unique and charming experience on its own. Our host was always available and helpful, a very kind and honest man!
Banana House is a wonderfully secluded peaceful guest house a very short walk from the foreshore and all amenities in Shela. Shela itself boasts miles of Sandy beaches, beautiful dunes with sailing fishing and other activities as well as a wide range of eateries. Banana House offers an excellent morning yoga session not to be missed. the food here is very good indeed and Monica’s team are flexible and responsive. the accommodation is clean and basic - classically East African. This is a great location for couples or singles
