Jamala Guesthouse, nestled in the heart of Lamu Old Town, was an absolute delight for us first-time visitors to Lamu. It provided a unique opportunity to deeply immerse ourselves in the local culture and connect with the welcoming people. The early morning calls to prayer from the surrounding mosques, for instance, became an integral part of the immersive experience.
It is located just a short walk from the boat jetty which is super convenient! The host, Baji, was not only highly responsive but also incredibly helpful. Right from the moment we made our booking, he was readily available to provide us with all the information we needed. Baji even arranged a boat pick-up for us and an enriching Old Town Tour with Abu, who was an absolute delight to be around.
The rooms at Jamala were both spacious and well-equipped with all the essentials, making it excellent value for money. The breakfast was also nice and balanced, with the option of tea/coffee, bread, eggs and fruit. There is also a kitchen available complete with a fridge that is available for guests to use.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at Jamala again! Thank you to the team for making our inaugural visit to Lamu very memorable!😊😊

It's a great location, quiet and serene. Rooms were spacious and clean. The staff and food were incredible. Paul was awesome together with the two gentlemen.
For travelers who enjoy beauty in the simple things, a bed and breakfast (B&B) is the perfect place for a getaway. Hosts welcome guests into their homes and provide a private room and complimentary breakfast. Bathrooms might be shared by other guests, and there's usually shared space with the host.

Beautiful big room with lovely views from the terrace. Great location, quiet and walkable to the beach, restaurants etc, with a really nice spa right across from the centre. Staff very helpful and supportive with arranging tours and trips.
Beautiful house with private pool, spacious bedrooms and several terraces to hang out on. Great location in old Lamu, close to shops, museums and the sea with great boat rides to wonderful beaches Manda and Shela.
I was about to not book this place because of mixed reviews, but I am very glad I did. We stayed for a week, it really exceeded our expectations! Caroline and her staff were amazing, the place was always thoroughly cleaned in the morning, same with the pool, and the food was surprisingly cheap and really really good. Same with breakfast, which was also varied; many hotels lack that. Our special requests were no problem and they have many nice, private spaces to relax. I absolutely recommend this place.
A remarkable property, full of history and character, and stylishly decorated. Our quiet room and private terrace at the back of the hotel overlooked charming rooftops, with dhows on the sea in the distance. The multiple pools, each set in its own secluded courtyard, are perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the island or the historic Old Town, and the waterside restaurant is totally delightful. Best of all, the team are so warm, welcoming and genuine - they really embody the spirit of Lamu and Kenya.
Beautiful boutique hotel with large spacious rooms done up in a gorgeous Swahili style and a massive common area, right in the heart of Lamu Old Town's narrow roads. Safari, Johnson and Abu are really great. Safari in particular went out of his way to help us make our stay amazing, such as finding us a dhow captain to organise a private dhow trip. I'd 100% recommend Andavelo House for your Lamu stay.
It is a beautiful place to stay; charming, comfortable, clean, excellent breakfast and staff, not a lot more you require on your holiday ;). Would definitely recommend. Of course a swimming pool would be nice, but not so very practical in its location.
One of the most beautiful buildings we stayed at in all of Kenya. Traditional Swahili and elegant and spacious. Beautiful common areas and private rooms as well. Great location.
We got the master bedroom with the little pool in the private court yard. Unfortunately the water didn't work.
If any place in the world deserves the attribute"boutique", then this gorgeous house. Nicely renovated and tastefully decorated and furnished. You just have to love it.
Near town center and the delicious (seafood) restaurants along the promenade.
Booking, communication and pickup were spot on.
