Lovely house and great location within Shela. We had 4 children and there was lots of space for them too. All the staff were super friendly and Ali is a fantastic cook. Would recommend

Dragonfly: Air-con room in a boutique villa, Shela

JakeRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We loved Livia’s place (Amani House). While it is a short walk from the coast and central Shela, it’s a pleasant walk through neighborhoods with lots to see. It also felt more relaxing to be on the edge of town than right in it. The chef (Martin) was phenomenal and the groundsman (Philicent) and the housekeeper (Elina) were kind and helpful. Plus you have to take a dhow ride with Omar! He’s a wonderful man. We would love to stay there again!

Jua House B&B Single Room

CarrieRating, 5 stars4 months ago
I instantly felt right at home. Thomas, Amani and all the staff were very accommodating and were responsive to anything I needed. The breakfast is amazing (make sure to try the banana pancakes and the vegetable scrambled eggs). They make almost everything in-house so you really feel like you're eating a home-cooked meal. The afternoon tea and snack was perfect while I needed to work remotely and the wifi worked very well in the common areas so I was able to get a lot of work done during my stay. The bed was comfy, the water was hot, the room was spotless and it felt like a home away from home. Thank you!

Spacious 2 Bedroom Sea-View apartment

Marie-AstridRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very lovely stay at Ivor’s, we loved the appartement nicely furnished and well equipped. Special big up to Jonathan and Johnson that were extra caring and helping for anything you might need. Localisation is great as you’re half way between Lamu and Sheela, a way to enjoy both atmosphere easily by walking 15min.

Green room in Ndege Beach House with pool

LouiseRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Ndege Beach House was the perfect place to relax for a few days after a long stay in Shela - a very peaceful spot right on a gorgeous stretch of beach overlooking Shela. Beautifully designed and very comfortable- we slept so well here! We enjoyed being able to wake up and tumble into the sea- but also enjoyed the lovely swimming pool. The staff were so kind and helpful - we had some lovely meals. The internet was great- we were working remotely and there are plenty of areas to hide away. Suzanne was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

JamboHouse Lamu - self-contained, ground floor

SarafinaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! It was spotless and perfectly located for exploring Lamu. Arnold, the host, is incredibly friendly and always willing to help. He even created his own map of Lamu, highlighting the best restaurants, supermarkets, ATMs, attractions, and other useful tips. He can also organize any type of excursions, which is really convenient. Arnold is very communicative and truly dedicated to making your stay enjoyable. The rooftop area is perfect for relaxing, and the breakfast included in the price is amazing. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return when I'm in Lamu again.

Historic Amu House in Lamu Town (Ensuite Pvt Room)

JuliaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our 2-night stay at Amu house was a dream. We were specifically interested in staying in Lamu's Old Town in contrast with accommodations in the more touristy resort-studded area of Shela, and we were not disappointed! Between wandering the local alleys filled with locals of all ages and donkeys, relaxing at night on the roof with views of boats in the harbor, surrounded by the sounds of the Ramadan prayers, we felt totally immersed in the unique, rich Swahili culture of Lamu Island. And this is to say nothing of the beautiful, comfortable, spacious accommodations of Amu house! Check-in was a breeze: Mohammed Aweso from Amu house met us promptly at the airport, where he led us on a short boat ride and a 3 min walk to the house. After a quick tour of the house, Mohammed offered to arrange any number of excursions and activities for us throughout our stay. We took up on his offer for a walking tour of Old Town, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We can't wait to return again!
