Amu House

So beautiful - absolutely spotless and amazing bonus of the rooftop

It could be a tiny bit hard to find the first time - but Amu House arranged a complimentary airport pick up so it was perfectly smooth for us

Great location. Easy to find. Beautiful architecture. Comfortable. Breakfast was Amazing for $5 USD. Get a lot for your money. Staff are wonderful.

Nothing

Location and staff.

Close to the waterfront. Easy to find. Architecture is beautiful.

Floors are slippery when wet.

The decor in the common area is gorgeous. The owner, Mary, was chill and fun to talk to. Breakfast was great and made-to-order. The location is fantastic for exploring the labyrinthine streets of Lamu. The roof terrace is the perfect height to see out over the roofs of old town.

The mosquito net in the room was big and durable, but it was thick and blocked pretty much all the airflow from the ceiling fan, so we had to choose between being cool or being safe from the hungry insects.

A beautiful traditional Swahili house at a fantastic location. Really enjoyed the terrace. Mary, the owner is a very interesting and helpful lady. Breakfast was very decent. There is also the possibility to have a tasty home-made dinner if you inquire about it.

No warm water, but we personally did not find it inconvenient. No airconditioning, but this is known beforehand. There are fans, though they might be noisy for some people while trying to sleep.

Beautiful original house which has been renovated very nicely with very lovely owner and staff always around to answer any questions or have a short chat. Also really appreciate the pick up service from the airport, Mohamed was waiting for us at the exit of the airport, taking a boat together and bringing us to Amu house

The breakfast was great, and Alex (the manager) and Mary (the owner) were very friendly and welcoming. The house is gorgeous and we were the only guests during our stay, so we enjoyed the peace and quiet :) The rooftop is beautiful where you can read a book or watch the city below. The Wifi worked quite well most of the time, which was a bonus. We did two tours with Mohamed - the sunset dhow cruise and a history/culture walk through Lamu. Both were amazing and I highly recommend them. There is no hot water but the weather was so hot, it was refreshing to have cold showers. I definitely recommend this bnb!
