Barack and Tawfiq were the most generous of hosts, always available to assist with travel plans and share local knowledge.Guest review byElizabethYoung couple
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 97 reviewsAccommodation in a quiet location, yet close to the port. Large rooms with good facilities (only the bathroom a bit outdated). There is a large terrace with views of the town and surrounding countryside. Friendly and helpful staff (Joseph) who arranged our transport from the airport, did our shopping and helped us with our suitcase. Shela is the perfect place to stay on Lamu!Guest review byJakubFamily with young children

Than you a lot! And a view from our private balcony was really amazing! Lamu town in 30-35 minutes of walk when beaches just in a minuteGuest review byAnonymousPeople with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 97 reviewsSpacious and beautifully decorated Swahili house. We got upgraded on our arrival and had the huge upstairs room with the biggest bed we’ve ever seen! The balcony and rooftop lounge area were great for relaxing with incredible views. Very clean rooms. Nice breakfast including traditional Swahili foods as an option. The manager Joseph was outstanding - he went out of his way to show us around, finding various places and helping us organise our day. Huge thanks to Joseph for making our stay so enjoyable!Guest review byYasminFamily with young children
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 97 reviewsAfter 2 nights in Lamu we moved to Shela. It was a good decision and this is a lovely place to stay. The manager Joseph made sure our stay was fantastic from helping organising laundry to walking us to a restaurant to taking us to our moto transfer on our final morning to getting up early and providing a 6am breakfast. A very hard working and friendly gentleman. The property is beautiful, the room very good, breakfast excellent, and it has a lovely roof terrace. Thanks very muchGuest review byjustinYoung couple
