Very clean and friendly staff, the villa is cozy and there’s many spaces to relax on. Everything worked well and the Umma house team catered to all our needs. It’s better to prepare because there is a lot of mosquitoes
The place in very nice and calm in a very central position in the village of Lamu. The room was big, cozy and clean. Great value for money!
Beautiful location in Shela village, stunning gardens around the hotel and a short walk to Shela Beach which goes on forever. The restaurant at Kijani is amazing, better than Peponi! Definitely have the Kijani Crab Curry!
Delicious home made breakfast from the in house bakery, a great team to look after you and a lovely airy place with lots of calm spaces to escape the heya and hustle of the village. I 100% recommend Jua House, especially for solo travelers and those wishing to avoid the hassle of renting a house.
The staff, food and overall ambience made our visit one of the nicest stays we’ve had in a long time. Immaculate facilities. The place is just so tastefully decorated and well thought out. Morning coffee on the terrace overlooking the harbour…. The village of Shela is lovely. No cars. Clean beaches.
We had a beautiful room (the Kind Suite) with a fabulous large terrace strewn with day beds and nice furniture with fantastic views over the village and island. The staff were extremely helpful, the food was delivious, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom big and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would return.
