The hotel is absolutely gorgeous — I loved the room! It felt modern yet cosy. The staff were incredibly friendly and came by twice a day: once to clean and once in the evening to prepare the room for sleep, complete with an anti-mosquito spray — such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant was lovely with great food, and the location is perfect for a quiet, relaxing, and romantic getaway.

Villa Unaweza wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience. It was a home away from home, filled with impeccable hospitality, thoughtful touches(surprised me with the best cake on my birthday), and unforgettable moments. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a side of genuine human connection, look no further. Sylvia, Aga, Fau, Fridah, Felix and Denge made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.Also... if you're looking for some pampering, do not miss the massage and body scrub...it was the most blissfully indulgent hour of my entire trip!

Kasia & Pawel were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to accommodate us last minute. The view from the restaurant upstairs was amazing and the small play area for the kids was prefect to keep them busy while we enjoyed the view. The fish market next door was a site in itself and would have been worth driving an hour to see. So many different species being sold as the fisherman arrived to the shore in front of the hotel. The local children playing soccer on the beach and so many restaurants within walking distance. Snorkel trips can be booked to Memba island that leave from the beach which you can easily see from the hotel.

The location in Matemwe was excellent regarding the beach. The hotel is surrounded by a fishing village which adds to the quaintness. The hotel is very nice in comparison to others around and quite posh without loosing any authenticity and fits perfectly well into the surroundings. The evening entertainment exceeded expectations. Fell in love with the dawa drink.

One of the best hotels we have stayed at since traveling. If you want to stay at an excellent hotel with good food and an extremely quiet area then this is the hotel you need. The hotel offers a lot of outdoor activities, in the inner courtyard, you can play volleyball, do yoga, enjoy a massage, spa or just enjoy the gorgeous pool. For me, the pool was more than perfect because I am passionate about swimming, and its length is perfect to maintain physical condition when you go on vacation, and the depth is perfect. The food at breakfast, but also at the restaurant in the hotel, is extraordinary. The menu changes daily, so you can't get bored of what you find here, and something I found interesting is the fact that you have the option to prepare something to your taste in case the menu does not correspond to your dietary plan or if you have other preferences. The beach is also gorgeous, with sand so fine you fall in love. The hotel has some beds on the beach, but also by the pool, which are very comfortable. The hotel staff was extremely nice to us and very willing to help us with any problem or question we had. The rooms are also very clean, it is cleaned twice a day, and the bathroom contains more than everything you need for a relaxing vacation where you can forget about everyday worries. The rooms are also equipped with a hair dryer in case you need it. Being on vacation for my birthday here at the hotel, I was extremely surprised to receive a cake from the hotel staff and to sing happy birthday to me. An extraordinary first contact with Zanzibar, we definitely want to come back because it is worth all the money.

    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.

    The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

    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.

    We had a wonderful stay at Ocean views villas in north Matemwe. The villas are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden and pool are perfect for relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the location is ideal for exploring the beautiful Matemwe beach and the nearby attractions. We highly recommend Ocean views villas for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Zanzibar.

    The lodge has an amazing view, nice swimming pool, friendly staff and managers, a joint diving center and yoga opportunities every weekdays. The food was also beyond our expectations. We have taken the honeymoon offer and it was well worth it: snorkeling, 3 course dinners, couple massage, airport transfer, also we booked the oceanview suite and the it’s stunning. They also have free shuttle bus to the sister-hotel’s private beach.
