"Lamu is a great town, the stay made it more amazing."

10.0

The staff and owner were amazing. I was warmly welcomed and assisted in tracing my way to the accomodation site. The cleanliness was top notch, regular room service cleaning, good breakfast and ease in traversing Lamu town. It was also a secure place.

The breakfast lacked variety, I’d prefer more swahili breakfast variety. But the chef were just good at their task. Highly recommend.

C’est propre.

On sent que le patron veut économiser sur tout, le petit déjeuner c’est vraiment pour dire qu’il y en a un. Après avoir visité l’île il y a de meilleures options pour des prix comparables.

"Convenient and clean"

6.0

The location was convenient and the rooms were spacious and clean.

Breakfast for vegetarians could have been better (like baked beans or some other alternative to eggs). Our Host, Maya, tried her best, but she would benefit from some training and assistance. Asked to pay in KSH despite booking in USD.
