Umma House

Great for the Old Town experience. Positive: Location in the Old Town was convenient for exploring Lamu. Rooftop space was particularly charming and comfortable with a nice breeze on a hot day. Beds were comfortable and equipped with mosquito nets. Bathroom was spacious. Negative: Muezzin’s loudspeaker was right outside my window., and work me every morning at 4:15. Call to prayer continued until 5:30.

Autenticidad swahili en pleno Lamu Positive: Nuestra estancia en Umma House fue fantástica. La casa es una joya de arquitectura swahili: auténtica, muy bien cuidada, limpia y cómoda. Vivir unos días allí es sumergirse en la verdadera esencia de Lamu. Es cierto que hay bastante ruido alrededor (rezos, burros, la escuela cercana), pero forma parte de la vida local y, en nuestro caso, valió totalmente la pena por la experiencia única que ofrece el lugar.

Casa preciosa Positive: Una casa preciosa, súper limpia. Justin, el empleado, nos ayudó muchísimo. Recomendable cien por cien

Enchanting Positive: Stunning property: very elegant, tastefully restored old Lamu house using genuine Swahili/Arab finishes and details we were enchanted, refreshing little courtyard pool, lovely outside areas to relax. Negative: There was nothing we didn’t like, some people might find the scene school next door a little noisy but we didn’t mind, it added atmosphere

Beautiful, exotic and luxurious outdoor living Positive: A beautiful and spacious house with a private pool in the center of town. Everything within walking distance. Good wi-fi and hot water showers. Negative: The house is very open, sort of outdoor living: beware of mosquitoes, noise from the surrounding streets, neighbours and the nextdoor mosk and school.
