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!

Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

Excellent location in the heart of Lamu town. I was given the choice of the available rooms. I loved the decor. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the terrace. Breakfast was so tasty. Muhammed also arranged a brilliant sunset boat trip for me for a great price.
