The house is very well located, making it convenient to get your bearings and experience Lamu’s authentic ambiance. The house in itself is gorgeous and well ventilated, with several resting areas. The room was very spacious and well maintained, with eco-friendly towels and toilets. The breakfast was particularly good and filling, with everything homemade or locally sourced and very tasty. The staff is very polite, hospitable and skilled.

“Wonderful place”
24 Sep 2024
Fabulous place - it's an amazing building with lots of places to hang out in the peace and cool away from the heat! It's just behind the fort in the Lamu Town so always easy to find. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were great. They also make every effort to be as sustainable as possible.

“The house where love lives”
02 Sep 2024
Everything at Subira House is simply perfect. Subira House represents the spirit and the roots of Lamu Town. Christina and Paul are exceptional hosts, together with Dauda and the rest of the team. Don’t miss the opportunity to have at least one dinner with them. Unique stay!

“Wonderful Lamu staying”
26 Aug 2024
The atmosphere of the place is superb because of the owners Christine and Paul who give it a special note. The building is very special and just behind Lamu Fort which allowed me to enter a Swahili Wedding. It was amazing.

If you want to explore Lamu Old Town, Subira House is a perfect choice for you. The staff are super nice and will help you sort out arrangements for walking tours, sunset cruises etc. Oh and make sure to have the traditional Swahili three course dinner they offer - it was delicious and served in an incredible setting!
