Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, had a very nice experience. It was a perfect hotel in the middle of Lamu. Rooms were airy and provided with a fan and European sockets, for example. The location was particularly good there, right on the beachfront.

The breakfast was lovely, there were coffee, tea, fruit juices, and eggs. The location turned out to be excellent, just off the centre of Lamu

I had a blast exploring the old town. The breakfast area had a rustic charm and the common kitchen was a fun place to socialize. The continental breakfast was decent enough to keep my jetlagged self going.
Who needs good wifi anyway? It's not like I needed it to work or anything.

jamala guesthouse was beyond my expectations during my recent long weekend in lamu. the property was even better than the pictures, with a warm and welcoming staff. the manager, baji, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable by giving us a walking tour of lamu town and recommending the best activities based on our interests. highly recommend!
Minor work needed in basement area.

The room I stayed in had a cozy vibe and I instantly felt at home. The balcony offered a beautiful garden view that was perfect for my morning coffee. It truly added a touch of serenity to my stay.
Personally, I would have preferred more variety in the view from the balcony. But hey, that's just my personal preference.
