We loved staying at Jua House which is in a very good location in Shela. Breakfast was served on the very nice rooftop terrace and was delicious. The staff is very professional and organised. Airport pick up and drop-off was smooth.

Beautiful traditional guest house with all essential amenities, kept very clean and with wonderfully accommodating staff and owner, ready to go the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable.

The air conditioning in the bedroom was fantastic. It was a huge bedroom with closet space, lots of room to put your stuff, and a large ensuite bathroom. The location was great, right on the waterfront, close to water taxis, etc. The staff were so friendly and were always there if you needed them. After check out, they called to inform us we left a few things in the room, we left them on purpose, but it was nice to get a follow-up call.

Very clean and friendly staff, the villa is cozy and there’s many spaces to relax on. Everything worked well and the Umma house team catered to all our needs. It’s better to prepare because there is a lot of mosquitoes

The decor and design, the hotel was stunning with beautiful decor all over. It had a beautiful courtyard that our room overlooked. Perfect location in rhetorical heart of lamu with a stunning view of the water. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The barman made the best cocktails! Food was great, breakfast was an incredible feast, recommend the Swahili breakfast.

Amazing budget spot for traveling in Lamu! Arnold was extremely helpful - we booked a sunset cruise through him and it was perfect. Breakfast was excellent. The rooftop was amazing. We had fans in the room. The best coffee shops on the island are pretty close by. Overall, wonderful stay!

Breakfast was really nice, with a choice between Swahili and English style and it was served on the cozy rooftop terrace with views of the sea. I was lucky to be upgraded to their spacious and well-appointed "executive" suite on the third floor. Omar and Lilian were great to deal with at breakfast and with laundry etc., I appreciated the help they provided in many ways and look forward to coming again.
