The hotel is old but kept very clean. It could use a bit of a facelift but they've kept the standards ok. The team was so good towards us, the manager is excellent too. Breakfast was underwhelming except for the very tasty fruits. The garden was a highlight especially with the tortoise ...

Fabulous 2 night stay in a superior room at Kijani. The staff were wonderful led by Fred the manager and helpful reception staff Elizabeth and Toto. Our room was immaculate with 2 outside terraces and prepared in the evening by Brian who did a beautiful job. The restaurant is to be recommended. We had supper both nights and do try the sensational prawn curry so thank you to the kitchen! Evans, Ngari and David looked after us so well and breakfast was fresh, generous and made to order. Decent coffee and a cafetière were very welcome in our room. The pool are was quiet and the pool beautifully looked after. All the staff play their part to make this lovely boutique hotel amazing value for money . We travel extensively and I do not always place reviews but do not hesitate to book here. It says much as we do not usually return but we plan to make another visit to Kijani.

Very charming and friendly boutique in Shela, with beautiful, spacious rooms, a very friendly and attentive staff and a nice restaurant offering and beautiful view of the sea and a fine selection of absolutely delicious food! In addition, the hotel features a nice veranda and a small library with an impressive collection of books in English and French Definitely the best hotel in Shela!

The room was a 5 star accommodation. There were three of us, the floor was divided into two sections, the master bedroom was off in a down stairs with a queen bed and mosquito netting resembling a princess suite, off from the bed was a veranda that over looked the bay. There were the view was a scenic fishing village, absolutely stunning! The upper room was divided by a foyer the looked out over the pool and beautiful crafted landscape. The bathroom was something out of a spa where the shower did not require a curtain or separate entrance. The upper room was spacious with windows all around. With a gentle bellowing breeze. Restaurant was quaint and served the most delicious food. The waiter recommended our meals each night and we were never disappointed. Absolutely delicious food and service.

Bellissima struttura. Siamo stati coccolati per tutta la vacanza. Camere spaziose e accoglienti, ottima la colazione vista mare. Posizione ottima sulla bellissima spiaggia di Shela. Un grazie speciale a Bonnie per essersi preso cura di noi.

This hotel is a real treasure. From the complimentary boat transfer, large room for 3 with a view and swing bed on the terrace, to a super great breakfast à la carte we felt very comfortable. Tito and his team are attentive, friendly, interested and never intrusive - a top recommendation when coming to Lamu. We rarely had such a chilled, nice, small hotel. The garden is constantly maintained, a small pool is quite sufficient. And there were turtles with offspring on top!
