Beautiful house with private pool, spacious bedrooms and several terraces to hang out on. Great location in old Lamu, close to shops, museums and the sea with great boat rides to wonderful beaches Manda and Shela.

A great home for a group visiting Lamu. You have your own pool and the house is so spacious with 3x bedrooms each with an en suite. Check in was so smooth, we chose the option where the captain picked us up from the airport and escorted us to the boat (definitely do this as it’s tricky to find the house yourself the first time). He was amazing and offered to carry our bags, we had a great boat ride across and he showed us to the house where the housekeeper met us. We had some problems with the water being lukewarm during our stay but apart from that we felt so looked after by the housekeeper. Their captain organises boat trips on he Dhow and we really recommended you take this up, he was brilliant. The location is on Amu (Lamu Old Town) with lots of restaurants on the waterfront and Shela is a short boat ride away. It’s a traditional house so don’t expect ‘mod cons’ everywhere but the WiFi was superb and every bed handily has mosquito nets.

We had a truly memorable and amazing experience staying 4 nights & 5 days at Umma house. We had a warm and welcoming greeting from the staff Zeinab and Farid who were amazing. Zeinab stayed in contact the whole time and she booked all of our activities for us. We gave her a budget and what we wanted and she made sure everything was organised and that our stay was stress free so we could just focus on enjoying Lamu. On our last day she let us check out later at 1pm because our flight was at 2:55 which was amazing so we could enjoy our final houra. Farid is the young house keeper and he was exceptional. He did all of the house work including laundry, dishes, ironing, cleaning the house and pool everyday and he even went out to the markets to get our groceries. He was so friendly and we were able to go with him to the markets and he showed us around and was helpful with anything we needed. If he is there you can ask him to show you around and he is very enthusiastic to do whatever you need to make the most of your stay in Lamu. The house itself is beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the pool and on the rooftops for sunset drinks. There are lots of different areas in the house to relax including 3 different balconies / roof tops. The best bedroom in the house is located on the top floor which has a lot of stairs so may not be suitable for elderly or people who struggle getting up stairs. This didnt bother us though and we got used to it quickly, it is so worth it for the amazing big bedroom! Umma house is located in Lamu old town so you are bound to hear the mosques and prayers but it is a beautiful way to experience the true essence and culture of Lamu and the prayers only last 5-10 minutes at most. If you are easily disturbed by loud noises then maybe bring ear plugs but if you are genuinely interested in the rich culture of Lamu then it should not be a problem.
