Positive: We had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again! It was my second time and Kijani and my family's first time. Tina and Lavender at reception went above and beyond to make sure we were as comfortable as possible - we requested a pedestal fan for the bathroom of one of our rooms as it felt a little stuffy after a shower, and they delivered it to our room within 15 minutes, and anytime we requested ice or a snack it was delivered to us promptly. All the staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and professional - particularly Steven and Sipi. They provide a daily turn down service which is very useful to keep the mosquitos out. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the decor is charming. The pool and garden areas are also lovely - we enjoyed our time at the hotel as much (if not more) than at the beach. We were in rooms 4 and 5. Room 4 is more spacious but both rooms were very comfortable and included massive verandas with a very sturdy hanging bed that was great to relax on. The food is also delicious and there are a variety of lovely spots to dine in, besides the rooftop restaurant. The cherry on the cake are all the tortoises (big and small) that really add to the overall charm of the place.
Negative: Nothing we didn't like! The only tiny bit of feedback is that room 5 could perhaps use an extra lamp in the evening to provide a bit more lighting but it wasn't really a big issue for us and I'm sure if we had requested one it would have been provided.
Summary: Amazing! Can't recommend it more

Summary: Unique and beautiful place to stay

Positive: We recently had the privilege of spending 4 glorious nights at Kijani Hotel, Shela in Lamu. Everything from the greeting at Manda airport by Boniface, boat crossing to the island, welcome at the hotel, breakfasts served by Sifa, lunches, dinners and our beautiful room felt like we were in paradise. Our tour of Lamu old town courtesy of Mohamed and dhow sunset boat trip with Henry added to our visit. This really is a piece of heaven and we can not praise Kijani hotel enough. We will without a doubt be returning sometime soon.

Positive: Staff are highly service oriented - friendly and efficient and the restaurant has an nice menu. Lamu is hot and the room had a celing fan, oscillating fan and an air conditioner. Great beach location. They collect you at the airport as well.
Negative: For travellers with electronics, the room doesn't have a lot of plugs. Would certainly stay at Kijani again.
Summary: Very pleasant experience overall!

Positive: Cozy atmosphere and relaxing
Negative: Misleading advertisement of beach front where there is no beach, just a small strip of dirty docking area for local boats. The bathroom was bad, broken sink, hot and cold taps are wrongly marked, and no shelves for shampoo or other bathroom toiletries.
