JamboHouse Lamu

Arnold gives excellent Lamu information, helps book Dhow trips ( my favourite!) and more. Breakfast is lovely, endless coffee.

Arnold is a great host, he loves what he does and made our stay perfect. The house is in Lamu Town, some minutes walking from the ferry and perfect for a visit of the village. We've been picked at the airport and guided to the house, which was great. Arnold provides all the information you might need - what to visit and good places to eat. He organised a tour to the Takwa Ruins for a fair price, which we enjoyed a lot. Breakfast is amazing, with options varying from different egg dishes to (banana) pancakes and fried vegetables. There's always a fresh juice, fruits, a hot drink and toast and it's served on the terrace, where we also spent some hours in the afternoon/evening. The rooms are clean and equipped with fans, we had everything we needed.

The host Arnold is very thorough and helpful. The place feels like a quaint clubhouse that is hidden in the maze of old Lamu.

Anyone that wants to book should be aware that there’s no AC. Not as a complaint, just a note.

Amazing place with the host and owner Arnold who is very kind and always willing to help and gives very good advice about local places worth visiting. The breakfast is very good and diverse, with daily fresh fruit from the market. The house is very clean with comfortable beds and also backpacker friendly. Highly recommend the deep tissue massage, the lady comes to your room and is very much worth it. All in all a place to come back any time!

The nice and excellent breakfast, the location in the old town, the panoramic terrace, the information given, the big and clean room, the all day hot drinks provided, ...

Pleasant and helpful staff. Good location and breakfast.

Nothing. Lovely Lamu.

Ich habe eine Nacht dort verbracht. Arnold , der Inhaber ist ein beherzter sympathischer Gastgeber. Er gab mir viele nützliche Tipps. Das Morgenessen war ausgezeichnet. Die Aussicht von der Dachterrasse ist sehr schön.

Arnold runs this place since 2008. He knows everything about Lamu and the area. He has prepared a special map and has a welcoming session with every guest. He has many suggestions about your stay in Lamu. As well it seems that everybody in Lamu knows Arnold. The place is basic, but clean and the biggest asset are three very large terraces with an excellent view on the town and the sea. JumboHouse run by Arnold is an ideal location in Lamu.

Arnold the host was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and a genius with eggs.

The property is great. Location in the heart of the town. Certainly need a map to locate it.
