Makofi Guest House, hotel in Matemwe

Makofi Guest House is located in Nungwi, 200 metres from Spanish Dancer Divers. The property offers free WIFI in the common areas and is 100 meters from Nungwi beach.

The room itself and bathroom were really nice and cute, but there was no proper glass window what made you feel like you’re sleeping in breakfast area. It’s hard to have some privacy.

    The service, the place, the food and the people are the best if you are looking for a real Zanzibar experience!! Giorgia and Daniele were the most welcome and amazing host you could have met in this wonderful island! We definitely recommend it for couples and friends also for the perfect location, if you like quiet and peace. The beach is literally 5min walking and it's definitely the best side of Zanzibar! We can't wait to come back again! We already miss this amazing place so much!

    Zanzibar Magic Boutique hotel was the perfect stop on our honeymoon to Zanzibar. The staff were so friendly, the food amazing and the location was right on the beachfront. Matemwe beach is quieter than Nungwi or kendwa but the sea was lovely to swim in.

    We really enjoyed our stay at sunny villa!! Shamir it’s a great host and provides any kind of services you’ll need. It’s a cozy place, only 6 rooms with a really nice swimming pool. Although it’s not directly on the sea, the beautiful beach it’s only 1 minute walk. The staff it’s super friendly, food it’s fresh and really good. Enjoy ypur stay!!!

You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%
