This is a truly excellent bed and breakfast and our experience there was fantastic. The owner is involved and very attentive and wants to make sure that your stay is perfect. We were picked up from the main jetty by the owner himself and escorted to the hotel. He then gave us a great deal of information regarding restaurants and... More

Lamu itself and Arnold`s hospitality made us come back to Lamu and Jambo House for a second time within a year. Jambo House offers all amenities one can ask for while traveling: tasty breakfast including fresh juice and fruit, very clean rooms, extra beach towels, beautiful location in the old part of the town only a 4min walk to the...

Arnold is a true gentleman and the best host we have ever had on any of our travels anywhere ( and we have travelled a lot). His crew treat the hotel as their home and the guests as their family. The rooms are clean and spacious. It must be said that because of the location close to the mosque, it... More

We highly recommend JamboHouse. We stayed there 3 nights and we had a great time. If we return to LAMU, we will return to JamboHouse Arnold, the owner, is a wonderful person that will spend a lot of time and organize all sort of activities, if you wish. You feel relax, as if you were home. Rooms are clean, with... More

When you arrive at the airport on Menda Island, Jambo House will have someone waiting for you to escort you to the hotel which is a big help and saves you having to negotiate. Jambo House is about five or six minutes back into the town, and the streets are narrow and ancient, so it helps to have the initial... More

Jambo house was a wonderful place for us to stay while on Lamu. I wish we had more time there (we spent only 4 nights) and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and hope to come back again one day. The things I loved: - great welcome by Arnold (the owner); very helpful and informative introduction to the... More

I had a fantastic time in JamboHouse - staff absolutely friendly and helpful; nice and clean rooms, great atmosphere! Lovely position in Lamu Town - bit far from the beach though. I stayed for 10 days before heading to Uganda in August and had to come back at the end of my trip for another week :) Keep it up... More

We stayed 4 days and all was fantastic. Damaris picked up us at the jetty, after the bus arrival, and Arnold explained us all about the town. The breakfast is excellent (thanks to Adam too), the activities as dhow trip is a 'must do' and the situation made you feel like another neighbor.

I stayed with a friend at Jambo House in Lamu, which we picked after reading Trip Advisor. Very happy to report the reviews were accurate and so mmuch so I wanted to write my own. The price of the room for b&b was unbelievable. Theree are not many rooms, and each are very nicely furnished - simple but with comfy... More
