Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: A truly beautiful building, with a comfortable room and a very nice bed! The common areas are also lovely. The breakfast was very good and Moses makes sure to take care of everyone.
Negative: The room does not have mosquito screens on the windows and, as a result, a lot of mosquitoes gather inside. Although the bed has a large mosquito net, outside of the bed it is quite uncomfortable. Finally, the bathroom facilities (toilet, shower, and hot water) need maintenance.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I just loved the interior design of the place, the rooftop, the furniture... The room was really spacious, the bathroom too. The breakfast was good, Moses who was managing the place is very kind and helpful. It's very close to the pier and it was easy to reach.
Negative: The place is quite dusty and could use a bit more maintenance. No hot water in the shower which was not an issue for me since the weather is warm.

Positive: Moses was such a darling, he took into consideration all of our requests. And the breakfast selection was quite good. The location of the place was also very convenient, just a few minutes' walk to most of the main sites around lamu.
Negative: A little upgrade to the rooftop lounge would do wonders to the place.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Absolutely beautiful, only of the best looking properties I’ve ever stayed at, the property manager was a rockstar, made sure we didn’t get scammed, made arrangements for us from and to the airport as a well as sunset boat trip and other queries we had. The floor in the main area is always clean. Beautiful view, a genuine experience.
Negative: The bathroom needs proper cleaning and disinfectant, there was residual of something in the shower, the shower head is absolutely clogged and rusty. The bedroom needs better airflow or ac, couldn’t sleep because of the heat and was sweating all night long, my only moments of relief was when the wind would blow. There’s a lot of flies in the dining area, I would suggest getting nets for the windows and door or some fly traps at least. The place has a lot of dust in high area, which due to my height I’m able to see easily and had someone that has allergies it’s not the best.
Summary: Beautiful, authentic, rustic but needs improvement on cleanliness
