Joseph is the man. Catered for every little whim we had.
Picked us up, brought us food, carried our bags. We made sure his efforts didnt go to waste.
That queen bed is something else. Beyond comfy/huge.
Try and catch the sunset over the dunes on the rooftop.

I enjoyed the breakfast a lot, the location was great, there are many boats docked right next to the hotel waiting to take you to any other part of Lamu and the staff was always available to help organize other outings.

The decor and design, the hotel was stunning with beautiful decor all over. It had a beautiful courtyard that our room overlooked.

We absolutely loved our 3 nights at Msafini, I would highly recommend it and would definitely go back. The building is beautiful, the staff were so friendly and helpful, and the swimming pool was gorgeous. The location was perfect for exploring Shela and only a few minutes walk from the jetty and maybe 10-15 mins to the beach (it's quickest at low tide when you can just walk along the coast path). We had the King suite on the top floor which was fantastic with a huge private balcony/terrace with lots of comfortable seating and even a dining table and a fridge. The stand out feature though was the gorgeous view across Shela to the sea - a very calm spot to sit and relax. I highly recommend booking the suite if you can! The beds were comfortable too, and while it was hot at night, the fans helped a bit and the mosquito nets kept the insects out. Oh and the breakfast was great - fresh fruit, incredible smoothies, and various combinations of eggs/toast/pancakes. You have to try to Swahili breakfast (coconut lentils, samosas, swahili doughnuts and various other bits) at least once!

Location was good (far from the good beaches but close to some restaurants and bars).
Amazing place to stay. You feel at home with the personal care they do. Breakfast is good esp the Swahili breakfast. Great views during dining and terrace is amazing for sunrise. Will definitely visit again.

Great place with no other than pedestrians and donkeys.
Great place with no other than pedestrians and donkeys. Lovely locals and not to many visitors. A day spended out on sea, for fishing and snorkeling ia a must, fishermans are just the Kings!!
Seafood cooked at your place is a must, fishes, crabs, vegetables, all with great spices.
