The people ! Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Mildred was so helpful and kind. Additionally, the ambiance is so serene. Like a simple serenity. It’s an absolutely stunning property.

Staff were very attentive and friendly, pool area very nice, breakfast top quality and balcony perfect for a relax and read.

The staff, the rooms and cosy corners, being able to use all the upstairs living areas, the breakfasts and the way the staff cared for us.

Beautiful traditional guest house with all essential amenities, kept very clean and with wonderfully accommodating staff and owner, ready to go the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The family room is fantastic, with a lovely indoor terrace to accommodate active children.

Jua House is extremely beautiful, furnished with a lot of love, every corner thoughtfully decorated with respect for the local culture. The rooms are beautiful, too, ane the bathrooms and showers are great. The place is really more beautiful than on the pictures. There's a beautiful terrace, where breakfast is usually served, and then another roof top terrace on top – ideal for yoga or sunbathing. The breakfast was amazing! Jua House is known as a bakery, too. There were freshly baked bread, fresh fruit, swahili specialties, omelets, juice and much more every morning. Even the coffee was good, sourced and roasted by a small local company/café/school project. Additionally, there was tea time every afternoon with more house-baked pastries. We wish they would offer lunch and dinner too – we would've probably just stayed at the house all day:) There was filtered drinking water available all day. Amani was super helpful and so nice. We stayed for three nights but we wish we would've stayed for a week or more. They had us picked up at the airport/airstrip by boat and organized transport at reasonable prices whenever we needed it. Shela town is tiny, there are no cars or even tuk-tuks, only a handful of motorcycles coming from Lamu town – other than that it's just small boats, lots of donkeys and an occasional camel for transportation.
