The hotel made a great impression right from the start – it felt cozy and comfortable. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a nice view. The staff were friendly and helpful. Big plus for the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful beach, and tasty food. You can see that the hotel is both well managed and beautifully designed. Every detail is thoughtful and the hotel is in high standard. A perfect place to relax.

This page is not long enough to describe all our praise of this true piece of Paradise here. We were looking for a place to relax (but had also something special to celebrate!), and since we would never find all this in all those huge All-in resorts, we chose this gem. This boutique hotel was also brand new! Upon arrival we already felt the warm welcome of the owners: Tomek and Malgo! We were given a welcome drink, a tour, and all the info of everything we could enjoy. And from the 1st second: we DID enjoy! Everything is brought here with so much taste, details, and together with their beautiful African interior and exterior: it takes you INSTANT in the right relax mood! ( also the background music at the wonderfull 1/2 open restaurant was always harmoniously accompanied ) Their entire staff was AMAZING too! I don't remember all their names, but they all stand out for their kindness and sincere hospitality! From the room ladies to the hostess, from the waiters to the lady who provided the massages: they are also VERY professional! (Don't be persuaded to have your massages done on the beach by other massage beach ladies! Here in this hotel you do get the wonderfully fine and fragrant massage oils, clean towels every turn and the (necessary )sea breeze in the blissful massage house with stunning views on the beach / sea! And of course the GREAT massages!!! And the food!! SUPER! I did love the fresh fruit plate and the fresh coconut milk as extra at breakfast: for me, there was even too mutch choice on the breakfast menu, but of course, this variety is great for everyone else. We have our own restaurant (Italian) in Belgium, and are therefore quite picky! We also tried out a few evenings some other restaurants in the area, but none of them could match the refined, tasty, and sometimes original cuisine of the Chef here. Do you wish for something that is not on their menu? Do ask: the answer is always : Hakuna Matata! No problem!

This hotel is absolutely exceptional, very comfortable and relaxing. We would stay here again and again. The owners Kasia and Krzysztof are incredibly friendly and could not do more to make us feel welcome and relaxed. This place is really beautiful, the room was beautiful, big and comfortable. The service was excellent, the place remained very clean and the beach was beautiful. The food was very delicious, Kasia is an excellent cook, we were able to eat amazing food at every meal. The staff is excellent, really nice people always smiling and ready to help you with anything. Do not hesitate to stay here if you want to truly relax and only be surrounded by a handful of other guests. Loved!

The hotel is right next to the beach. You can clearly see the ocean view from the room. The facility, food, and service are the best among all the places during our stay here in Tanzania. Especially the food is absolutely AMAZING. We did a little cycling and enjoyed our time at the pool. Wish we could stayed there for longer!!! ><

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

10

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

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.

Our holiday was awesome at the hotel. We really appreciate our host Samir who helped us with everything. He showed us the hotel and answered our questions. He is very friendly and joyful. If you need any help you can always find him in the reception and I’m sure he will be happy to help you or to show you around. The stuff was amazing too specially Aziza. The food is great as well as the rooms are very clean . This is the best place to stay in Zanzibar.💕

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
