Muy bonita, limpia y amplia casa. Fresca, corre muy bien el aire. El personal es muy amable.

El primer día no tuvimos internet.

Good swahili breakfast. Farid was an exceptional help that made our stay seamless.

Incredible space with even better people. First, even before we arrived, communication with the host (Tarik) was impeccable. We always felt we were in good hands and that rang true from the moment we arrived especially with the housekeeper Farid who was absolutely excellent and was on top of every need we might have. I should take a moment also to say that the space itself is STUNNING. Absolutely gorgeous with many, many beautiful details. Truly a hidden gem of Lamu.

Not a didn't like but rather a warning for those not used to it (we grew up in the middle east so it wasn't an issue for us).. the house is located next to a mosque so expect noise from daily quran school (children reciting) and the call to prayer.

The house is a beautiful gem within old lamu town. The architecture is stunning, the rooms are freshened by fans and the pool is great to escape the day’s heat. The house staff is incredibly helpful and Peter was a great caretaker. We would also warmly recommend arranging a tour of the old town and of shela, as well as a boat tour if one wishes, with Abu. Abu is knowledgeable and loves his job; he is a great storyteller and a great artist (ask to see his recycled art). Walking around Lamu with him and learning about this unique place from him was a wonderful experience.

We stayed at Umma House for a week which was great. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Peter the housekeeper made us feel safe and if we needed anything he was always around which we liked. I recommend to get the in house chef and food arrangements we had with Abuu and his staff. We ate deliciously well every day. Our guide Abu from Lamu House was also a great contact to have, you'll definitely meet him if you stay here. The property is very easy to get too. Only comment and point you'll need to know is that there is a mosque next to the property. If you are a light sleeper you'll be up at 5am. None the less I'd like to thank everyone who made our stay memorable. Thank you so much!!
