"I reserved and paid back in October. When we arrived on Jan 11 -- we were told that our reservation was cancelled. In fact they were hosting a wedding - and cancelled our reservation without any warning. They proposed a disgusting replacement hotel (one-star backpacker hotel) which was 30€ per night rather than the 90€ per night we paid. We wasted 2 hours of limited time in beautiful Lamu. They refused to reimburse us and refused to send an email confirming that they cancelled a paid reservation...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shela?
The best area to stay in Shela is directly within Shela Village itself, particularly along the beachfront and the winding paths just behind it.

Shela Village is the heart of the area, a peaceful and picturesque settlement known for its narrow, sandy pathways, traditional Swahili architecture, and the absence of cars. Most accommodations are either right on the beach, offering direct access to the ocean, or located a short walk inland amongst local homes and boutique guesthouses. The main jetty, where dhows arrive and depart, is a central point, as is Peponi Hotel, a well-known landmark.

Couples looking for a tranquil and romantic getaway will find Shela Village ideal. The quiet lanes, ocean views, and opportunities for dhow trips at sunset create a very relaxing atmosphere. Many of the guesthouses offer private balconies or terraces, superb for enjoying the sea breeze.

For those interested in local culture and a slower pace of life, the village offers a genuine experience. You'll find small shops selling local crafts and a few delightful restaurants serving fresh seafood.
When is the best time to go to Shela?
The best time to visit Shela is during the dry seasons, typically from July to October and from December to March.

These months offer warm, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, which is superb for enjoying the beaches, water activities, and exploring the island. The gentle ocean breeze keeps temperatures comfortable, making it ideal for relaxing by the ocean or taking dhow trips.

Couples often find the period between December and March particularly appealing for a romantic getaway. The weather is consistently pleasant, and the calm seas are superb for sunset cruises and swimming. It's also a popular time for cultural festivals in Lamu Town, which is a short dhow ride away.

For those looking for a slightly quieter experience while still enjoying excellent weather, July to October is a great option.
