Nice place, great staff, value for your moneyThis establishment offers a truly pleasant atmosphere for guests. The staff members are friendly and welcoming. It provides excellent value for your money. It's a wonderful spot that combines comfort with affordability.

I recently stayed at Beyt Salaam during my visit to Lamu. The rooms are incredible — clean, comfortable, and well maintained — with a really good atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. However, the management was quite disappointing. We never got to meet the manager, and on our first night, the electricity was cut off because power tokens hadn’t been paid for. It was only sorted out the next morning. Breakfast was another letdown. On the first day we were served a very limited Swahili breakfast, and on the second day, there was no breakfast at all because the manager hadn’t left money for the staff to purchase supplies. We had to check out without the breakfast we had already paid for. Also worth noting — they do not issue receipts for accommodation payments, even when requested. It’s a beautiful place with great potential, but the management really needs to improve to match the quality of the rooms and staff.

Beautiful, traditional-style rooms, the details make all the difference! Make sure to select one of the rooms with a side-facing balcony in order to have a view. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome and safe.

A really nice place to stay if you want to be close to old town and visit the historical buildings. The management is helpful and friendly and the rooms are beautiful.

The top-notch hotel I have ever had the good fortune to visit. Beautiful structure, and exploring it only makes it more stunning.High quality accommodations and services.The rooms provide beautiful sea views. The Beyt Salaam Hotel far surpassed my expectations. It was immaculate,the staff was wonderful,andthe bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. We went to the rooftop dining and had an amazing time. The atmosphere and service were great. Definitely a must visit if you are looking for a good time.
