Good

“Our stay was largely okay. It was easy though for first impressions to steal away from the pros. The facilities are not”

Nearness to the beach and the property has a swimming pool. Friendly staff in the kitchen area.

I stayed only one night but it's a nice simple spotless hotel with huge bedrooms and lots of space a lovely swimming pool and super close to the beach! The breakfast was genuine simple and yummy!

“It was a good stay”

Consindering the amount of money paid, breakfast can be better than it is, you can consinder buffet breakfast

Nice big rooms . Good breakfast

The view from my room was fascinating. And the beach is less than 1 minute walk.staff was nice and helpful

“very good location”

I booked 4 nights in an "executive suite with sea view" at Zanoceanique for myself and my wife to give us a little comfort after spending the previous 12 days on safari in mainland Tanzania. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, the aircon worked well and we had a lovely view of the beach, breakfast was included and evening meals were available for a very reasonable extra charge, the kitchen and restuarant were very good, most of the staff were very friendly and helpfull. So why such a poor overall review?

“I had two weeks, one alone and on the second week with friends. This place catered to both tremendou”

This place ticked all the boxes for what I required, simple, quiet, chilled and relaxing for two weeks. Super helpful staff, Ciprian, John and Selma cannot do enough for you. What do you need? Local advice? (they really do know it all) Assistance changing money? (at a favourable rate) Where to buy a bottle of whiskey at short notice? (it’s not obvious and there is no bar) Tour information? (obvious but well done) A bit of a chat and an informal Swahili lesson (because why not?) Transportation: Just ask (certainly to anywhere on the island of Unguja and probably far beyond) Rooms: Basic, well airconed, spotless, with a safe and fridge (not a minibar) all of the housekeeping staff are very quiet and shy but wonderful. Restaurant: Simple and clean (you can look into their kitchen if you are quick or simply ask) a satisfying breakfast, decent lunch and good supper (do try anything with octopus!) There is no bar. Cost: Come on! You are in Zanzibar, it’s cheaper than anything you spend at home. Anyone that complains about the prices at Zanoceanique would be better off not going on holiday. Location: Matemwe is not a metropolis. It is barely a village, but it has what you need, even an ATM opening soon! Maybe some would want more, but you cannot please everyone. Walk one minute to the beach, turn left or right and you have restaurants and bars a plenty, you’ll find all the entertainment you need. This is not a five-star establishment like Hyatt, Ritz or Mount Nelson, it is a simple family run place that punches above its weight and does it very well. An observation: I see lots of complaints about the beds being too hard. My sleeping App show’s I had nothing but prolonged deep sleeps that were almost snoring and apnoea free. My body, such as it is, feels rejuvenated and my mind blissful. The beds are fine people, you just have bad backs, no hotel can cure that.

We had good time Hotel is Nicely staff are good Food is good we enjoyed the beach Hotel Tour Guide John is very good

Location was good and hotel is close to beach.

All was good, only wifi connection was slow.

Hotel is clean , and staff so friendly

“Highly recommend this place”

Quite place in matemwe with nice swimming pool. The beach is very white and the hotel is very affordable. It's good place for family or groups vacation

Everything was good

“A real home away from home.”

Zanoceanique is a beautiful hotel in the humble village of Matemwe. Visiting in the low season meant we basically had the entire hotel to ourselves - a true “The Shining” experience, minus the axe. The garden, pool and general look of the hotel is exceptional, and the staff were at our every beck and call. Juma was extremely helpful with all our requests, the breakfast was excellent and the rooms were cleaned everyday. We felt like royalty

“Given another opportunity we would visit them again”

The hospitality of the staff was very heart warming and as a family of 5 we felt at home.

Location is easy to find and close to the beach (note that it is a 2 minute walk to the beach, not beachfront). Pool is pleasant and staff are friendly. Good breakfast. Our room was very clean and had a nice view to the sea.

“Tranquille beach get away, few tourists so you have the beach to yourself. Lovely staff! Fridge, AC, safe, fan & bal”

Spacious clean rooms, nicely equipped with mini fridge, safe, AC, fan & balcony w sea view. Proximity to beach, very friendly staff. Room gets cleaned daily and staff sprays mosquito spray - didn’t have any problems with mosquitos throughout my stay. Best wifi I had in zanzi so far.

“It was beautiful. Nice place by the beach with fan and ac and everything one might need with kind staff.”

It’s beautiful. The rooms and landscape.

“We arrived and got upgraded to a bigger and better suite! This is a perfect place for a family! 3 rooms have their own p”

Welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful rooms
