Everything was great! Arnold is an excellent host, made us feel like we were visiting a friend. He was able to arrange different tours, give recommendations for places to eat and was able to accommodate our request for the extra bed on a late notice. The breakfast was superb! If you're looking for affordable accommodation and being close to Lamu culture and history, this is the place to stay!

The hotel arranged for transportation from the airport, which was a delightful short boat ride and felt very VIP. Staff was very professional, helpful and above all very friendly and welcoming. The hotel grounds feel like a little quiet oasis, so if you don't feel like doing much you can just spend the morning at the pool.
