We loved the experience of staying in a boutique hotel - it truly felt like home after a few days! You leave your room and you reach the pool, the beach, and the restaurant in less than a minute. The rooms are comfy, clean, and nicely decorated. The pool is quite small, but serves the purpose. The location is ideal for a holiday by the sea, whereas all major day trips require at least a 75-minute drive from the hotel. On the other hand, Mnemba Island is just opposite the hotel. The staff are nice and always ready to offer a smile!

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs.
The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north.
The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

Fantastic location of the hotel in the middle of a local village at the beach. Perfect host with the warmest welcome you can imagine and the way every single staff members treat you makes you feel king and queen. Amazing white beach in front of you with the magical sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean makes it a paradise and a must-stay when you are on the beautiful island of Zanzibar
This was a wonderful and relaxing end of my trip in Tanzania. The hotel has all facilities to relax. It is located right at the beach of Matemwe where you can walk, swim and have close access to Mnemba island for diving or snorkeling. The food was every single day amazing!
The hotel is placed at a chilled, remote part of Matemwe, which was absolutly perfect for kit stay. The rooms are as intimate as the whole beach and the hotel. The service is wonderful, hotel staff is lovely and the food is tasty. Everything is clean and comfy:)
Amazing location, nice design, extremely friendly and helpful staff and good food with a different and fresh menu every day (best hotel food we tried in zanzibar in 10days)
