"My stay in Lamu was amazing, with great hospitality and perfect location."

10.0

I had an absolutely wonderful stay in Lamu! The location was incredibly accessible, making it easy to explore the area. Our host was fantastic — welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with any requests. The property was ideally situated near local amenities, so everything we needed was just a short walk away. Plus, there were so many activities to enjoy, from scenic walks around the island to boat rides and exploring the rich history of the area. It was truly a memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Lamu!

"Arnold is a super host who made everything about our stay charming, eclectic and fun."

9.0

Arnold makes Jambo House incredibly comfortable and welcoming. The facilities are well kept and we appreciated the attention to cleanliness throughout the place. We enjoyed that we were right in the heart of Lamu town and could experience the hustle and bustle of daily life while also being a short motorbike or boat trip away to the more touristy areas like Shela and Manda beach.
