A home in Lamu
The staff are always very helpful in case of anything. The room was clean, the entire hotel was clean and you can walk around barefoot.
The toilets are something to get used to 😊

Exceptional
Fantastic place to stay and enjoy the beautiful island of Lamu. It is located in a safe area close to the waterfront. The place has a great atmosphere in a historical building with very comfortable rooms. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruits and omelettes with moringa leaves. The staff was very helpful and kind; you can count on them for advice and suggestions to have a wonderful experience in Lamu.

A wonderful stay in Lamu
The location is great. An easy walk to explore the town and shops are all nearby. The house is such a paradise. You walk in and it's a whole other place. The many courtyards give it such a wonderful ambiance and make for excellent relaxation spots. The room I stayed in was quite spacious and designed to the true Lamu designs. Christina and the staff we truly amazing. They make the stay so comfortable and are always ready to help if you're new to the town. They'll advise on activities, restaurants and places to visit just to make your stay even more enjoyable.
I was there for such a short time. But I'll be back.

Exceptional, full of warmth and care
Subira house was really an amazing place to stay. Its a lovely old swahili townhouse which has been beautifully restored - every corner of the place has been created with so much care and artistry. The atmosphere of the place is very peaceful, calm and has its own special energy, and my room was very quiet with a beautiful bathroom. I felt at home immediately and was truly sad to leave - the owners have really created something special in Subira house. The owners and all the staff were also very kind and welcoming and extremely helpful with logistics for my trip. The breakfast and dinner were also amazing, all very fresh ingredients prepared by a skilled chef. As a solo traveller, it was also great as I met other people at breakfast and dinner. I moved on from Subira house to stay in Shela, but wish I'd stayed a bit longer at Subira. Its such a relaxing place, and perfect if you want to experience the atmosphere and authenticity of the Lamu old town. Its very easy to get to Shela beach, however I preferred the beach on Manda island as its more peaceful, easier/safer to swim there and you can watch the sunset. Its easy to get a boat there from Lamu town, so if you are coming to Lamu for a beach holiday you don't necessarily need to stay in Shela to have that experience (even while staying in Shela, I would catch a boat to go to Manda Island). Overall, I would thoroughly recommend Subira house, its the most beautiful house I've ever stayed in and perfect for a holiday to Lamu.
