“If Lamu island is heaven, then Subira house is heaven within Heaven. Look no further, this is THE place to stay in Lamu. I have been in many great guesthouses all over the world and I can genuinely say this is the best place I have EVER stayed at and this is why:
-The house is a beautifully restored traditional Swahili house. The owners Christina and Paul decorated with excellent taste and it feels so peaceful and beautiful. I had the top-top room which has been recommended by many reviewers and I strongly recommend it as well. It gives you great views of the fort and the ocean, privacy and a nice breeze coming from all over the room. I slept like a baby, in fact I slept at night and then took a nap in the afternoon. It’s really worth the few extra bucks. If the top-top rooms are booked, I am sure you will enjoy the other rooms, I met other travelers staying in the guesthouse and they were very pleased. Throughout the house it feels peaceful, quite and private. The breakfast is to die for, all ingredients from the Shamba ( local farm), including eggs, homemade bread, mango jam, DELICIOUS honey, homemade yogurt. The cook in the house also prepares delicious food, I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to try dinner but I tried lunch and it was succulent. I also recommend the massage that Christina can arrange for you, I wish I remembered the lady’s name (Betty?) but she had magical hands and the set-up for the massage is also really nice as they put you at the top corner of the house with a curtain for privacy and still the ocean breeze sweeping through. Book it, you won’t regret it and it would be half the price of any massage offered in hotels in Shella. Now, the only thing that concerned me when I was booking my room in Subira were the waterless toilets. I was a bit nervous about the level of comfort (I am in vacation after all so the last thing I want to worry about are toilets), all I can tell you is that it wasn’t a problem at all.”
