The hotel is very rustic and feels like it fits within the ambience of Zanzibar. located right on the white sands next to the Indian Ocean with restaurants nearby, that are accessible by walking along the beach. The owners and staff were so welcoming and truly lovely people. The hotel is of a size where you get to know the staff and they know you. Highly recommend it.....

Perfect getaway
This is a great place to spend a relaxing few days. The room was large, clean, and comfortable, with a great view of the ocean. The staff is beyond friendly and responsive. And the food is tasty and reasonably priced.

Nice stay at Matemwe
Really nice little hotel directly at Matemwe beach. The rooms are spacious and the hotel is nice to chill with two pools and a separate area at the beach. Staff was very nice and helpful!
