“I cannot recommend this place.”
I think this places used to be nice but seems to suffer from new ownership/management. Nice beach.

“Great stay”
It was an easy going relaxed stay. My husband went scuba diving in the mornings. Breakfast is served at 730am and he had to be at diving facilities at 8am so we missed breakfast. Once we spoke with staff they accommodated an earlier breakfast for us!! You just have to ask, if they can they will help. Small stores are in walking distances. Located on a lovely beach. Rooms and common areas are clean and maintained. Wifi went out in the room areas but was fixed quickly. Wifi is strong in common areas. Meals were tasty and well presented.

“Short stay at a nice place”
We liked it so we then booked for 2 more nights. On the beach, rooms are large, clean and well maintained. air conditioning works well. Just for information power goes off at times but is restored quickly. We cannot complain about this such things happen in many countries. Staff we lovely and very accommodating. Pool is cleaned every morning and pool area is nice, chair cushions are soft, a bit dated but just fine with a towel over them. Meals are tasty and well presented. Small.grocery store and.liqour store in walking distance. If we ever came back we would stay again.

“Just amazing and peaceful!”
Amazing environment. Basically located on the peaceful beach. Clean pool and clean rooms. The food was good! I personally would recommend to ask for Swahili local food like beans and rice and chipsi mayai! The staff are very welcoming and kind. On our day of departure we asked to check out later then the preferred timing which was no problem at all! :-) we are definitely coming back!

“Beachside haven for a peaceful few days”
Spacious, comfortable room with nice terrace and indoor/outdoor showers. Pool and poolside facilities were pleasant, overlooking the beach. Breakfast was plentiful with various cooked options, alongside fruit. Happy, smily staff who were always willing to help.

“Nice Hotel in Matemwe”
I opted for this hotel as it is close to the best snorkeling spots. The check-in went smooth and I was guided too my room, which was lovely decorated and clean as well. This spacious suite had also a bath room with a bath tub and shower as well. Additionally it also had a terrace. Outside you have a community pool and the restaurant as well. I did had B&B, so the breaksfast was included and for me it was sufficient (offering 4 different options + fruits, a fruit juice and tea). I did like the room and the bath room, the WiFi was almost stable, sometimes we had a Blackout, which is kinda commmon in Zanzibar. In total the stay was really nice and I enjoyed the stay a lot.
