Independent, Manda Island hotels

"The staff at Peponi Hotel really make it an ideal vacation spot! Their attention to detail, care and service are top notch. Not to mention the stunning location, fantastic food and overall great vibes. As a solo traveler, I felt safe the entire trip and appreciated all the ways the team checked in during my stay. Special recognition to Mustafa who is a fantastic guest services lead!"

"Dream location with excellent & friendly service. The quality of the food is one of the best I had in Kenya. The views and facilities are top level. Definitely will be back with family & friends."

"Lovely, helpful staff and a great location, right by the water where you look down on everyday life, dhows, donkeys and all. Quiet garden with pool and sunloungers. Excellent rooftop restaurant. 30 minute walk to Lamu or short boatride. Large, traditional rooms so don't expect TVs. "

"The property was unique in providing a combination of features, especially to meet your requests, such as arranging a dhow ride for one person. "

"Lamu House is a lovely historic hotel right on the harbor front - top floor bedrooms facing the water are the best with cooling breezes. The staff could not be friendlier and the restaurant is tasty and popular. If you want an authentic experience of Lamu the town, this is the place . It is not a luxury resort type establishment like the ones out of town. "
