Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

My recent two-nights stay at Beytul Habaib was an absolute pleasure, creating unforgettable memories. The Apartment Suite was incredibly spacious and offered a fantastic view that added to the charm of my stay. The staff were exceptionally helpful, ensuring all my needs were met with a smile. The security was top-notch, making me feel safe and comfortable throughout my visit. One of the highlights was the unique wheezing sounds that gave the place a distinctive character. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk to the town center, where the locals were extremely friendly and welcoming. The management also arranged a town tour for me, rich in culture, as well as a sea tour, both of which were truly memorable experiences. I highly recommend Beytul Habaib to anyone visiting Lamu. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and hospitality.

One of the best places to stay in Lamu, with an amazing terrace in a spectacular house. There are a lot of good and not expensive restaurants around. The owner of the house did all to make it more than comfortable, arranged a pick up from the airport, gave me a free upgrade of the room, asked every day if I need or wish something, helped to find a amazing boat tour and enable to stay in the house a few hours longer. Thank you so much Stephen, and also thanks to Michael the caretaker. See you next time!

Since Stopover is the first guesthouse you see when arriving at Shela's seafront from Lamu, my gut instinct was to see where else we could stay, but we could not have imagined a more perfect, relaxing (and very clean) place. Hamid, the manager of Stopover, made us feel very comfortable and safe, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our 2nd floor balcony overlooking the sandy approach to Shela and line of fishing boats and dhows was a bargain itself. Add the mosquito-netted traditional Arabic beds, eager-to-please staff, and delicious fresh fish meals and you have the perfect spot to experience the varied cultures of Lamu island. You can wander around Shela village, walk the beach, or go into nearby Lamu town (for which I highly recommend Ali as a guide to introduce you to Arabic culture through his eyes). It is SAFE, relaxing, romantic and so interesting to experience. The Stopover (Shela location) is the perfect base for your Lamu adventure.
