The hotel is new. We were walking by and it immediately caught our attention. Out of curiosity, we asked if it was possible to make a reservation, and to our surprise, we were offered the chance to stay as one of the first guests, as it had just opened for a test run before the official opening. The hotel is beautifully located – right by the ocean, surrounded by greenery, which instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and decorated with taste. The bed was very comfortable, and the terrace overlooking the garden and the water was perfect for a morning coffee. The staff deserves a special mention – always smiling and helpful. It’s the kind of place you just want to come back to. Comfort, peace, and beautiful views – I definitely recommend it!

The room was very big and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome, big and many options. Very good food the the hotel. Friendly and helpful owners. The hotel is not right on the beach but the beach is very close, it is a walking distance or you can also use a free bike. That was actually the reason why we selected this hotel as you may use bikes to get to some other nearest locations/beaches without any extra cost. Still, you probably need to be aware that during the day it will be very hot and a bike adventure might be a challenge, and at night the road will be the darkest place on Earth. If you plan to use the bikes bring your own light. The ones at the hotel didn't have any lights which seemed to be a rule on Zanzibar.

Wonderfully designed hotel with a wonderful staff just 1 minute from the beautiful beach. The room feels luxurious and comfortable, with great decoration and wooden furniture. The restaurant and pool area are beautiful and relaxing. The yoga classes are a nice bonus and the food in the restaurant is delicious with most dishes served generously. The cocktails are recommended. The best part is the dedicated staff, both at reception, the restaurant, the security and the cleaning staff. Particular thanks go to Sharif, Mongola, Shumu and Frida, and to the wonderful cleaning team with their attention to details. A great place for celebrating a special occasion!

Very professional and helpful receptionists and all other staff. Cleaning crew was amazing. Restaurant food quality was very good and staff very attending. They recommended nice safari trip, too bad we could bring a lion as a pet =;-) Maybe next time! Didn't mind that see wasn't really for swimming (too shallow and really too warm), nice hotel pool was just fine! Friendly locals, obviously wanted to do business and sell something, but were not pushy. Amazing beach with white sand. Place highly recommended!

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

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.

Zawadi Beach Villas is located at a beautiful beach in Matemwe. The staff in the hotel is very nice and helpful and the hotel itself is spacious, has a swimming pool and its own restaurant. The hotel is a bit outdated and the aircon is not working properly in some of the rooms. It is a nice place to stay though for good value of money. Matemwe beach is very quiet, you won't see too many people around. It is worth to explore the small local restaurants along the beach, while you are there, for an absolutely delicious fish!

We stayed at Zanzibar House for 4 nights during our vacation in Zanzibar. The intimate 7 bedroom hotel has a beautiful location and the beach is private and secluded. The rooms are very comfortable, well-appointed, and have gorgeous views of the sea from large, wooden balconies. The local staff are friendly, hospitable, and go out of their way to meet your every need if they are able to. The in-house massage therapist is incredible and the pool was lovely.

Very good breakfast selection with fresh fruits and juice. If we ever return to Zanzibar we'd definitely choose this hotel again. Right on the beach, very secure, superb swimming pool, with the best restaurant in the area. The staff is always smiling and friendly. Everything was spotless clean. The owners were extremely nice, really made us feel at home like family. Thanks for everything!
