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.AodhanIreland - 8.0Scored 8.0
Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax...
Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

Marafiki gets a 10/10 from us on all fronts - breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool, cleanliness, hospitality, music, sustainability, beach, communication. My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Marafiki after our Safari and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and beautifully set up. The food is exceptional - please try the tuna tartar and all the specials! We had a relaxing time at the spa - you must try the full body scrub and massages. We used the free kayaks during sunset and enjoyed the stunning view from the water. The water is shallow so even if you go far, you can get off the kayak and swim. Since the hotel is east facing - sunrise is exceptionally beautiful. The water is still and shallow, and you can see all the fisherman walk up to the reef to catch the fish. The hotel also arranged a cooking lesson in Matamwe village for us - we learned how to cook ‘muchuzi’ from scratch which was a very meaningful experience. Overall- no negatives. We had the best time and will be back!

The beach is beautiful, but it's not really a beach you can swim on - there's a big tidal range - when it comes in it's quite choppy with lots of seaweed, and when it's out its corally with lots of urchins. But it's interesting to watch the local people looking for octopus and shellfish every day. It's quite a quiet area - all the bars are part of hotels. A few nice local restaurants around. Quite a lot of beach touts, which we found off putting. Not loads of activities to do in the area - 1/2 day snorkelling/dolphin watching trips at Mnemba Island basically.AlexUnited Kingdom

Delicious food and good drinks, great entertainment. Massive thank you to Maya for keeping our rooms exceptionally clean. Complimentary prosecco on arrival. Room upgrade as one of our rooms initially didn't have a great view. Top hotel I would recommend to anyone staying in Zanzibar. Variety of restaurants to choose from. 10/10. Absolutely loved staying hereAlainaUnited Kingdom
- From $225 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 221 reviewsFriendly and personable staff, comfortable hotel in a beautiful location, and wonderful rooms. The on-site dive (and snorkel) center, along with the proximity to Memba Island for diving and snorkelling, is a plus! We loved cycling on the beach (with the free bikes), splashing in the waves at high tide, cooling off in the big pool, and lazing on the beach. The food was great and varied. The family rooms are very convenient and great value.TimotheeDemocratic Republic of the Congo
- From $151.20 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 178 reviewsI spent a total of 17 days in Zanzibar house on a solo vacation. I highly recommend this hotel. It’s a great place to relax and the location on the beach is just exquisite. The hospitality from the staff was fantastic, they were well mannered and catered to my needs. I was also moved by the kindness of Max and Mariam, they were very kind to me when I fell ill during my holiday. I can’t say enough of how much I enjoyed my time there.LLindaNigeria
- From $147 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 66 reviewsIt was not the first time in Zanzibar and in this lovely hotel, and it always turns out to be the best choice from many perspectives. I should stay in another hotel for a couple of days (Sunbay was fully booked, which I can totally understand :)), but after 2 days they called me that if I prefer to go back, there is a room for me. I absolutely agreed to come back, it was also a nice experience. Thank you!P007.Hungary
