Gorgeous house with spacious rooms! We were a group of friends and had a great time relaxing around the pool and enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the house management. The interiors were absolutely stunning and very comfortable. The meals prepared were so fresh and delicious we often chose to stay in!

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.

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

This is such an absolutely charming and very unique property. Beautiful authentic Swahili decor and architecture, incredible rooftop view of town and ocean, and a very kind, extremely helpful caretaker. It was nice to have access to a kitchen.
