LAMU HOUSE
9.0 (46 reviews)

LAMU HOUSE ★★★★

📍 Kenyatta Road, Seafront, Lamu

"We are regulars to Lamu and to Lamu House. However, our latests visit to the hotel has left us with a sour taste. It seems the new hotel management are more focused on cost saving measures and cutting corners - than on costumer care. For example, the food has gone down hill but prices have gone up a lot; the wifi doesn’t work around the hotel and now you’re only allowed one hour of internet in the restaurant even if you’re a resident. This’s to encourage people to consume drinks and food. The service is not as good as it used to be - orders were incorrect or late; staff seemed demoralised and unhappy with the new set up. Overall, it was a disappointing experience at the legendary Lamu House. "

JamboHouse Lamu ★★★

📍 PO Box 131, Lamu

"Jambo house was amaizing! Arnold is a great host he will give you all the information you need to move trought the intricate streets of Lamu. Arnold is an easygoing person and available to answer all your questions, he can organize boat tours as well. Lamu it's a hot and humid place but Jambo house has everything you need to feel confortable. Very suggested stay to live Lamu like a local!"

LAMU HOUSE ★★★★
"I badly needed quiet time off. I booked this last minute, taking some precious time out of work, and spending precious money, so that I could be able enjoy some peace in a new place, and to focus. What I found was the exact opposite. A wedding party is being hosted here, and it is very loud. (Upon checking in, I was advised that there'd be a dinner, but the level of disruption was not conveyed or conveyable). I was also later told by a manager that all the noise would end by 8:30pm - simply not the case. Furthermore, there is drilling in the property next door (so right behind my wall on the top floor) well beyond legal hours. I complained about this three times and have made the decision to move to another hotel, even if it means losing the money for the "best room" at the hotel. Very much not the described experience. Stay away if you want peace and are sensitive to noise. I've been completely unable to rest; I cannot even read and I'm sad of being robbed of precious time."

JamboHouse Lamu ★★★
"Stayed at JamboHouse for 3 nights. Was picked up at the airport which made it super easy to catch a boat to Lamu! Greeted by Arnold who told me in detail about the range of tours, restaurants and areas to visit on Lamu which was very useful! The rooms were basic but clean with a safe box and two fans. Very comfortable to stay in and great location if you want to stay in Old town Lamu :) the outdoor seating area was lovely and clean Breakfast was great with juice, fruit, tea, coffee and a variety of eggs and toast. Went on the sunset walk with Zion the guide and it was lovely! Tried some coconut wine at the locals bar in the village on the way to the sand dunes and saw a lovely sunset. Would recommend to friends and family "

The Red Pepper House ★★★★
"If you travel solo this place is a haven!! Amazing staff, especially the manager. Very quiet, next to the beach. Amazing food (food included in your booking), you can also ask for activities outside the hotel and they can arrange for you. Good warm pool and they make good drinks. Reliable internet should you need to work. Very very comfortable rooms. I have been here every year from 2022 and I love it!"
