"I reserved and paid back in October. When we arrived on Jan 11 -- we were told that our reservation was cancelled. In fact they were hosting a wedding - and cancelled our reservation without any warning. They proposed a disgusting replacement hotel (one-star backpacker hotel) which was 30€ per night rather than the 90€ per night we paid. We wasted 2 hours of limited time in beautiful Lamu. They refused to reimburse us and refused to send an email confirming that they cancelled a paid reservation...

Lamu House Hotel

Lamu House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms, full of character. We had a very nice stay here. Only downsides were that the breakfast portions were very small….unnecessarily so…and the (main) restaurant waitress looked miserable, however the rest of the staff were lovely and the hotel is very nice."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a cool relaxed place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, were good and there was evn gluten free banana pancakes 🙂. The staff were great and helped organise trips. The pool was as refreshing in the midday heat. Would definitely recommend. "
