We just LOVED our entire stay! This was the third hotel on our vacation, and we think it was overall just amazing. It had the best value for money, and I highly recommend this hotel to everyone! The things that made it so amazing were the whole vibe, the awesome and energetic staff, the top-notch service (we even got a surprise room upgrade for free, which made our stay extra special 🫶🏼), and the FOOD—so good! We’re both foodies, so that was really important to us. Plus, the direct access to the beach and the beach bar were a great bonus. I mean, come on—the drinks here were fantastic! Thank you, Marafiki! If we come back to Zanzibar, we’ll definitely stay here again!

Matemwe is a perfect destination for anyone who wants peace and quiet, but still has access to great activities. You can easily arrange dolphin watching and swimming tours – look for Captain Lucho, he helped us with everything and made the experience amazing. A beautiful and relaxing place to stay!

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.

This place is super nice, the rooms are so spacious and very comfy with all the facilities. They also have the best sunset from the hotel rooftop. Staff and owners are very friendly too. The location is 10-15min walk to the beach which is ok during the day but at night if you want to have dinner outside, it doesn't seem very safe (gets dark and you can't see much). So we had dinner at their restaurant and food was so so good, but the prices are more expensive than what we mostly paid in other hotels restaurants in Zanzibar.

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.
