The Location, the garden is gorgeous and the food to die for
5.0 / 5.0
The location right in the water provides beautiful views of the islands and sailing shows and cooler breezes to help with hot days. The place is beautifully appointed in Swahili style and the garden is lush with great pool. The food at the restaurant is top notch and the service is excellent. It is my fourth time visiting Lamu and I plan to come back. No place in Lamu matches Kijani Hotel.
I love everything about this place
4.0 / 5.0
Very nice set up around a small pool with turtles wandering around. Every was a good 8/10 for sure.
The only issue is it's probably about 25% overpriced for what it is.

3.5 / 5.0
The breakfast was very good. Some menu options were not available. The WiFi worked well.
My room was adjacent to the mosque which was very loud especially at 1-2 pm. The hotel needs better waiter service I.e. a waiter needs to be walking around taking drinks orders. Aircon is needed in the rooms but the fans were ok.

3.5 / 5.0
just a few little things that could have made it all really great experience.
Food options, wine selection, guest relations service needs a tad bit of improvement
They did meet my expectations for the 1 dinner we wanted customized. Brilliant. Delicious.
The service staff really good.
Overall space, just relaxing. Beautiful.
The after room service care was quite terrible.
The turn down in the room needs improvement, I didn't realize it but the mosquito repellent coil were terrible.

Location by the sea. Food is good
It’s overpriced for what it is
3.5 / 5.0
Breakfast is good. The service is slow, but that's fine as the food is obviously cooked individually. Rooms large and airy. Staff helpful.
For what it is, expensive. It is in the town so noisy, no beach of its own. That's fine but it doesn't say so on the website.

Nothing really. The high bed was a bit challenging for the less agile.

Location is great...to the left Shela beach...to the right you could walk to Old Town Lamu. Food was excellent and staff were really attentive! We loved the Chess board
Nothing! Was an excellent stay at an excellent facility. Minor issue is to check cleanliness of the caps of the re usable water bottles

The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The location is great.
The rooms are very spacious and beautifully furnished.
The mattress was quite uncomfortable, woke up daily with neck pains.
The food is quite basic and they do not offer coastal meals on their menu, which is a pity as it would be great to have a 'taste of Lamu'
4.5 / 5.0
