They served delicious breakfast for a nominal fee. Could have a warm shower. Enjoyed talking with owner. Very close to all the Lamu action. Owner had connections with others who could help with boat transfers to airport, town tours, boat race viewing etc

I recently stayed at Beytul Habaib in Lamu and had amazing experience. The staff especially David was friendly and helpful and a nice Chef as well . The spacious apartments offered lovely views and was perfect for my family. However, the location is a bit far from the town center but we had a good arrangement of transport by motorcycle. The property combines modern and traditional Swahili decor nicely, very Clean and well maintained. Overall, it's a peaceful place and I strongly recommend my friends specially with family to consider Beytul Habaib while visiting Lamu

I just loved the interior design of the place, the rooftop, the furniture... The room was really spacious, the bathroom too. The breakfast was good, Moses who was managing the place is very kind and helpful. It's very close to the pier and it was easy to reach.

Amazing hosts and caretakers, always there to help and very kind. Lovely small touches, like flowers in the room and tips on what to do. Great location by the Seafront, with a beautiful view from the room and rooftop terrace.
