    The bed was great. the amenities included a fridge, an individual safe, and a dining area. the location was exceptionally nice, near the center. It was adjacent to good restaurants, the sea, the rooftop, the breakfast, the nicest beach, and Peponi bar.

    Great value for money, the room was comfortable with two fans and a comfy bed. The location was perfect, close to the beach and with amazing rooftop views. The staff, especially Nyama and Robert, were incredibly kind and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.

    The breakfast menu could be improved with more variety.

    We had an amazing stay at Shella White House B&B in Lamu. Our purpose was to relax and enjoy the beach, and we couldn't have chosen a better location. The rooftop terrace offered stunning views and comfortable chill-out areas. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options including eggs, toast, fruits, and tasty juice. The staff, especially Tom, took great care of us and even arranged for us to use the nearby swimming pool. The room was cozy and equipped with two fans, ensuring a comfortable stay. We were also impressed by the dinner experience we arranged with Nyama, the housekeeper. a fantastic stay!

    We do recommend this hotel.

    Sabrina's Café and Restaurant serves a variety of local dishes as well as fresh bread and muffins. The delicious aroma of the freshly baked muffins wafted through the air, tempting me to indulge in one. The flavors were absolutely divine, and I couldn't resist going back for more.

    Bathroom door was mouldy.
