We stayed in Lamu House for one week. The owners treated us like friends. They do everything so that you have an holiday you never forget. The hotel is placed in the town so you can hear the noices of the town but we like that (for the real african feeling). The hotel, the rooms are beautifull decorated. There is... more

The hosts, Frank and Marianne, open this lovely house with such warmth and welcome. The food was divine; the courtyard with the pools (!) private,... more
