Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic.
Lamu is the real Swahili Coast. The atmosphère is authentic. With everyone on foot because there are no cars the sense of community is very strong. Architectural style of the village has been well maintained. There are good local eateries, and the peponi restaurant in Shella village is outstanding. We went everywhere by water taxi. Charming!Guest review byOnowheremanUnited States - 10.0

I liked that Lamu is a small town, easy to walk about and no pollution say for donkey dung. There are many eateries with all kinds of meals, loved the seafood restaurants near the jetty. Lamu is safe for travellers and the community is very welcoming. Easy to get around either by speed boat, dhow or slow engine boats if not in a rush. The weather is warm and windy especially in the evening. People prefer to walk about and sit around the seafront at night where there is good ocean breeze before retiring for bed. Fishing is a great recreation activity which we all enjoyed while in Lamu.Guest review byEstherAustralia - 10.0

Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer: 1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable. 2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful. 3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice. 4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there 5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.Guest review bySalleyKenya - 10.0

We were looking for privacy and relaxation as well as some outings to get to know Lamu better so our location on Manda island with private boat service to anywhere was ideal Some recommendable eating places included peponi and kijani hotels in Shela, garden restaurant on Lamu sea front We also enjoyed Lamu museum and the Flip-floppy enterprise for recycling all kinds of waste plasticsGuest review byAnonymous - 10.0

Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history.
Lamu is a mesmerizing town with a beautiful history. The people are very friendly and welcoming. For instance - the town can be like a labyrinth, which makes it a bit challenging sometimes to find spots - even with Google Maps. Either people ask you if you need help or you can ask them and they show you the way - many of them even walked us to the location. This experience was so wonderful - I would definitely come back again.Guest review byMeronGermany

- From US$81 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.6Good - What previous guests thought, 207 reviewsMy stay at Msafini Hotel was great! The staff (including but not limited to Joshua, Dickson, and Davis) were exceedingly kind and friendly and I can tell that they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I really enjoyed the large breakfasts included with an array of options to choose from and I could also choose when and where I wanted to take my breakfast. My room was on the top floor with a stunning view and the location was convenient with the jetty and Shela Beach close by. I got my money's worth for 3 nights.Guest review byJordanKenya
- From US$85.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 127 reviewsThe staff was really friendly and organised a boat taxi from airport in advance. Despite of a technical overbooking they found a good solution for all travellers. Instead of the booked room we got an Apartment next door. The Location ist perfect to walk around Lamu Town and visit the fort and Museum and the small shops in the second row roads. The breakfast was good. You could choose between Continental or Suaheli breakfast. We had both.Guest review byKatjaGermany
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 202 reviewsI missed my morning flight on my day of travel to Lamu. The hotel manager was so handy in helping me book another flight the same day. He helped organize activities for me and guided me within the town. The hotel stuff were so friendly. I read the history of Subira House. It is a rustic "Omanish" house. I had a whole balcony for myself. I enjoyed my stay.Guest review byJudyKenya
- From US$1,000 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 105 reviewsbreakfast was delicious- nice that you got to choose from a menu of options so it wasnt the same thing each day. and location were perfect! It is a short walk to the part of the beach where you can swim. The hotel and pool itself is so nice and picturesque it was also wonderful just to stay on the property and get away from the bustle of the town.Guest review byNatalieUnited States
