"Good"

4.0

The pool was great and clean. The staff refilled it every day. The staff was also incredible: helpful with everything we needed and we had a lot of requests because of a few injured and sick members of our party. The breakfast and the location were also great.

The property was a lot more dilapidated than we could have imagined. Paint peeling off the walls and falling onto beds and luggage; chipped walls; windows that didn’t close and that didn’t block out any of the dust blowing in with the strong winds or the sounds from the neighborhood; old bathrooms with no shower curtains; old lumpy pillows; really dusty. The hotel needs a huge upgrade.

Hele vriendelijk en vrolijk personeel. Mooie terrassen om heerlijk te genieten van een lekker briesje. Lekker ontbijt.

Niets. De kamers zijn niet groot, maar de hoeveelheid verschillende terassen buiten maken dat helemaal goed.

L'auberge est authentique est très belle bien que simple. Il n'y a pas assez d'espace pour un bureau dans les chambres, mais de l'espace commune à cette fin.

J'ai tout apprécié.

"This is old town Lamu, so don't expect the Ritz, but it is really pleasant, safe, and comfortable."

9.0

Caroline, the manager, is the key to the continued success of Jannat House. She is accommodating and organizes everything exceptionally well. The pool and the pool side bar are realy great.

It would be great to figure out some ways to make it cooler - especially for the hot months - like December/January - make sure all windows can open and that fans are blowing appropriately.
