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.

Its in the middle of the town you can reach everything by walking. Should we come again to Kenya we would stay there again. Thanks for everything

I understand why this house was one of the best-reviewed. Amani was amazing and made my stay comfortable. I met some great guests there with whom I was able to spend my time. The house is more beautiful than the pictures show and had the best scrambled eggs in my life there. Hot water was available which I loved and breakfast was served at the rooftop which had an amazing view of the sand dunes

very amazing surroundings feels fresh, safe and serene room was upgraded to a glass lodge with a nice view and flowers planted so you get a nice view of the Mara in the distance but also fresh flowers right next to the window food was amazing, kitchen team and Chef Patrick offered us a private dinner for our group of 4; excellent food, wonderful experience. The other Masai staff performed on both nights for bout our group and others they also have a bonfire burning every night so you can get lovely time by the fire an opportunity to enjoy the starry night and also meet other guests Staff walk with you if it’s late around the camp so you always feel safe

Jannat house is very very romantic! The house is built in typical Swahili style and it lies in the centre of Lamu. It is super cosy, beautiful, rustic with many beautiful plants around and an amazing small pool in the centre of the house, next to a bar. The highlight (besides romantic style of the house with many balconies and stairs) were the people working there! Caroline and the rest of the staff were amazing! super cool, helpful, constantly around making sure we have everything we need. They also prepare the freshest food and the breakfasts were great. Thank you so so much fot this beautiful experience! They are also well known in Lamu and well conected and can help you with tips on where to go and how to reach it. Great!! Thanks so much, I hope I see you guys soon!

My family and I so had a fantastic time at Baytulkher. The food was yummy, the house is beautiful and spacious, the swimming was perfect for young kids and the sunset view from the roof was delightful. The location is relatively quiet for Lamu town, not far from the port and the fan really helped us to sleep well. Malik was so kind, helpful and accommodating. He helped us with transport, drinks, mosquitos nets for the sofa bed and much more. I would highly recommend here. For the price you pay, you really do get a lot. We are very grateful to have found here. They have listened to the comments made in previous reviews, as issue like hot water have definitely been resolved and we received cleaning each day.
