Umma House es una casa colonial preciosa, muy cómoda, con 3 habitaciones magnificas, una pequeña piscina que se disfruta muchísimo, la verdad, nos habría gustado pasar más tiempo disfrutando de la casa, pero es que Lamu también es genial.

Hacía mucho calor en esas fechas, el ventilador ayuda, pero con la mosquitera (de uso obligatorio) se nota algo menos.

Zum Haus gibt es nur positives zu sagen! Wunderschöner Stil, alles funktioniert und man fühlt sich einfach wohl!

Leider ist ab 04:00 h morgens brutal laut! Es gibt soviele Moscheen die aus alle Richtungen den Gebetsruf mit Lautsprechern erklingen lassen, dass man senkrecht im Bett steht! Und das dauert bis zu 90 min. Ergo, gute Oropax mitbringen!

Great views from the roof top, accurate description of the property. Felt like the perfect getaway spot. Central accomdation and well organized host.

Kitchen equipment was a bit dusty but we spent our time at restaurants so it wasn't a big deal.

Great for the Old Town experience.

7.0

Location in the Old Town was convenient for exploring Lamu. Rooftop space was particularly charming and comfortable with a nice breeze on a hot day. Beds were comfortable and equipped with mosquito nets. Bathroom was spacious.

Muezzin’s loudspeaker was right outside my window., and work me every morning at 4:15. Call to prayer continued until 5:30.

Autenticidad swahili en pleno Lamu

10.0

Nuestra estancia en Umma House fue fantástica. La casa es una joya de arquitectura swahili: auténtica, muy bien cuidada, limpia y cómoda. Vivir unos días allí es sumergirse en la verdadera esencia de Lamu. Es cierto que hay bastante ruido alrededor (rezos, burros, la escuela cercana), pero forma parte de la vida local y, en nuestro caso, valió totalmente la pena por la experiencia única que ofrece el lugar.
