+ the food was tasty and very good. The selection was the same every day but it was a great selection + the room was huge and the interior well selected + the beach had white sand and the turquoise water was very warm + from pool we had an incredible view to the beach + staff was very friendly and always helping + the view from our room to the beach was very beautiful + we really like how the hotel was integrated into the nature

- the constant power outages that included water outages where quite bothering sometimes but it was not the hotel's fault - the fan in the back of the bathroom didn't have a grid outside so it would have been possible for insects to invade but we covered it with some plastics and tape :-) - the first day we had a lot of ants in our room because they where able to enter the front door which was quite contorted (maybe due to the weather) ... therefore we had to cover it with tape as well which worked. To keep the door closed you had to lock it twice. If you only locked it once it would stay open. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future.

This is an excellent little boutique hotell with a nice position in the end at Matemwe beach. It has a good size pool close to the beach. A neat restaurant and a cozy lounge section. The hotell is the perfect size, not to big nor to small. The rooms are very big and tidy and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. But what really stands out is the management and staff. Super friendly and helpful in a most genuine way.

If you try to understand the local lifestyle and the circumstances of the poor local people you will realize very quickly that this hotel is a real heaven in this area. After we landed our plane and started to get the hotel we were shocked by the circumstances. The houses and roads are in very bad condition, lots of poor people and rubbish on the streets. But this is Zanzibar, and nobody told you to come here. It was your own decision because you wanted to explore Zanzibar, I think. Even if it is not similar to your own lifestyle. After we got the hotel, the staff welcomed us friendly with a welcome drink. We had some misunderstanding about the half board accommodation because you can choose more possibilities like only breakfast included or half board. We checked the reservation together and it was not a problem anymore. I realized the wifi will not be enough for home office and I told this matter to Mr. Munisi (hotel manager) who immediately sent somebody to buy me a mobile data card. I got that within a few minutes. Btw, we never could ask anything which he couldn't solve. Change money, have an ice cream for dinner, have a food which is not on the menu, call a taxi, need more towels, give me advice for sights or tours worth visiting etc, etc. Specially thanks for him to makes our vacation so pleasant and unforgettable. Other staff are very friendly and helpful one by one, as well. Always pay attention to our needs. We always got professional service. Perfect hospitality. The room and the hotel are very clean. Cleaning every day in the room and the pool (several times a day), the garden. The food was excellent, including traditional and international food. It doesn't matter what you choose, it will be delicious. Thank you CHEF. We felt ourselves completely safe but have to admit we didn't walk in the village, only on the ocean's coast. At the end we decided to cancel our reservation in Stone Town and stay here 4 more nights. it was a good...

The wifi could be better but Mr. Munisi helped me to solve this issue by a mobile data card so I could use it anywhere else for a single penny. The coast is quite dirty but the hotel staffs are cleaning at the front of the hotel every day. There are cows, but the hotel located enough far from there. There are some more expensive hotel close to the cows (dirt and smell). The beach boys are quite bothering but it is normal on the whole island. You have to accept everythig is little less than was offered to you in Zanzibar. It is also normal.

The staff were outstanding! Thank you Maurizio and crew! Words fail me. The location.....😮 paradise ♥️ and the food....punching well above it's weight for such a wee hotel. Myself and my wife were made to feel like the only people in the world. The only negative is how far from Scotland this slice of heaven is. ♥️ Already discussing our return 🤣😁

Nothing! but it's a bit far from Glasgow for a weekend retreat.

Everything was just perfect here: the location, facilities, staff, super fresh (sea)food, atmosphere, the pool, the pergola shades with sunbeds, outside shower and (last but not least) the beach. Very quiet place too. Free wifi everywhere, towels for the sunbeds, drinks served at the pool, you name it. If we make it back to Zanzibar we will for sure come back here.

Really nothing.

Very beautiful hotel with relax and beautiful, clean beach. Food is very good, stuff is very friendly, on every corner very clean and cozy. Chef Mauritio is very helpful, we had some healty problems and he called doctor to our room, get us advices about island, trips,... if on island electricity is out hotel has agregat. Benefit is pool because there are some hours that there is no sea.. people on beach are nice, not pushy to much as other places.

Roads to hotel

This is a beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff is very friendly. The beach setting and the rooms are beautiful but the best is the food. We had half board and there were always delicious choices on the menu board. It's not the cheapest place but the food is fresh, nicely spiced, altogether the best food we have had during our stay in Tanzania. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Its also a good choice if want to be close to the dive schools. They provide free pick up from the hotel.

Sometimes staff was to quick tidying up the table.

Good place on the beach with small clean pool. We had a very nice ocean view room with shared balcony looking over the ocean. Bkfst is good with some limited options. Tea & Coffee at the room with a kettle. Good wi Fi throughout. Fisherman village feel. Some restaurants around on the beach and in the small village.

A bit overpriced. Beach is good but this area experiences low tide in morning till afternoon, and some areas have seaweed. Pricey for activities & transports. You need to negotiate. Toiletries weren’t provided on daily basis.

The staff was very attentive and super friendly. During this time of the year it is very quiet and peaceful just as we intended this week to be. The room was clean and serviced daily, they even spray against insects every evening. The view from the room is great. The cook is also great, they make simple but very tasty dishes and change the menu every day, which is awesome. The manager is always there for recommendations and will organize everything you need. If you are looking for a nice quiet place with great view and super helpful staff this is the right hotel

The one thing that is anyways not dependent on the hotel or the staff - even though the beach and the sand are beautiful, it and the water are full of seaweed. If you, like me, don't like seaweed, you will have some difficulties getting into the water.

Where to start? This really is a beautiful hotel in all ways. From my room I had a fantastic vista of the entire beach and it was a real pleasure just sitting there watching the world go by. There is so much room in the lobby, by the pool, on the beachfront where you can just relax and chill out. The food really is magnificent and credit to managers and the staff. Every dish I tried (most of them) had the best ingredients. It was certainly the best steak and tuna I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked too. The soups are to die for as are the swahili dishes. As for management. Mr Munisi and Joseph, really are top professionals who go far beyond any reasonably expectations to make sure you area at home. I like football and Mr Munisi went out of his way to make sure I could watch it. I needed more credit on my local sim. Joseph sorted this out for me. Really, I can't remember anywhere in the world that I've felt more welcome and all this in such amazing surroundings. I was also doing some work and the internet worked no problem at all. In fact, with the view I had from my room, it was just about the best office you could have. Overall, a top class hotel with an amazing restaurant all at reasonable prices. Full credit to owner, managers and staff and thank you very much!
