+Khadija provided amazing Swahili dishes for breakfast and learned to make my dawa perfectly! Emmanuel the caretaker made our stay comfortable. The variety of restaurants nearby are amazing. Especially Sea Front Cafe- I loved the prawns😋
−The indoor pool is great but no easy way to get out. You need to install a metal pool ladder.

+We appreciated the views and the air conditioning in the bedrooms, although one unit produced a remarkably loud whistling sound, which the staff promptly addressed by sending a technician to repair it. We were also pleased with the location, the value for money, and the helpfulness of the staff.
−We were somewhat disappointed with the quality of the breakfast; while the homemade juice and fruit were excellent, the coffee wasn't great, and the meal was limited to toasts, eggs, margarine, and low-quality jam. The street can be noisy in the early mornings, so we recommend bringing earplugs to ensure a better night's sleep. The lack of hot shower was not an issue for us, as the weather in Lamu is quite warm.

“Just because you have any spare bedrooms with bathrooms ensuite - you can not call yourself a hotel”
+The location
−Everything is old and rusty . I had to live the door not loked because the key got stuck in the look . The shower was broken . The balcony door had a hole in it so big that I could put my fingers out through the hole . The cleaning was done when the previous guest leaved . And this was long time ago .

+I liked how the staff were friendly and how they cleaned our room... the only thing is that you have to keep reminding them to clean the room...or they would not clean
−That there wasn't any shower gel and only small soaps were given.....also I would preferred if there was water provided.

“Good choice as the World Heritage exploration hub.”
+Great location. Very central of the town around the World Helitage Site and in front of the bay. Kind staff. Pick up service to the airport including boat transportation was very helpful. Everyday can see sun rise and got positive energy. So beautiful World Heritage Site!
−No hot shower but it was very little problem because Lamu is very hot town.

“Authentic nice and warm stay 💛”
+My stay in Pwani house was amazing! I particularly enjoyed the morning view with the well-made breakfast and the small conversations I had with the friendly staff around the house. The location was convenient, I moved around the island comfortably with the arrangement of the Pwani House team, and also I was courted nicely by the female staff. I had my birthday celebrated in a nice Dhow cruise and the staff were very kind in organizing everything 💛🫶🏽
−Maybe one thing that they could work on is the variety of the breakfast menu.
