”Wildly overpriced tourist trap, charging DOUBLE what newer places with pools charge on the same street. stay at Petley’s instead— and book on arrival, not in advance. ”

”The old world charm, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent swimming pool. ”

”We had a lovely 9 day stay at the one way house. The house is simply stunning and very well maintained and clean. Michael- the chef- made us beautiful breakfasts and dinners. It’s impossible to choose a favorite dish but his curries are world class and biryani a MUST have. Paul helped us navigate Lamu. He is the man about about town. Ensures that we got our boat captain, walked us to catch our boat for day trips. Lamu town offers an authentic sense of the rich culture. Just an overall amazing...

”Every bedroom, gathering space, and lounging area throughout the house (inside and out) is comfortably appointed and thoughtfully designed. The staff of the house are warm, inviting, and exceptionally professional. We loved the location along the water - close access for beach walks and shopping, yet plenty of quiet and privacy while still steps away from activity. Forodhani House is a very special place and our group was honored by our experience!”

”Really friendly staff, nice sunrises from the rooftop. Simple but homely. Got upgraded for free. Spent 10 nights here. ”

”An amazing peaceful place. We spent 2 nights here just enjoying doing nothing except swimming, sunset walks along the beach and watching the birds and other animals.”

”The location is great. But the property owner wasn't honoring expedia booking . Since it was late (5:30pm) , he allowed me to stay one night but next day I had to check out. Overpriced for the quality or upkeep of the lace. It is great for people looking for unconventional family owned traditional set up but a non for business travellers. Only one electrical point for charging in one room was another turndown ”
