Tomek and wife were amazing hosts. Very attentive and made sure our stay was memorable. Rooms with awesome sea views. Nice big pool. Food was really good especially the fresh baked bread 🍞 in the morning. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Will definitely be back.

Beautifully designed little complex made for an extremely relaxing two night stay. The team were very welcoming and helpful, and facilitated a late check out so we could fully enjoy our last day. The pool was fantastic. Breakfast was exceptional, and we enjoyed the other meals and drinks we had there. All very close to the beach, its bars and restaurants, and village.

This boutique hide-away made us deconnect from the outside world. Beachfront, comfy bungalows, the whitest and softest sand, a soothing ocean breeze, and tasty food in the restaurant with ocean view. Ernesto (the hotel manager) and the rest of the team were super friendly and made our stay extra enjoyable. A plus was the free walking tour to the reef with a Masai which was organised by the hotel.

The place is beautifully arranged with lots of plants/trees and three different pools. The bungalows are beautiful and spacious. All the staff are super friendly and attentive and made us feel welcome. Maria and Paco are very present and always up for a small chat plus always available if there are questions. The place is only a short walk to the beach. We loved that there was no buffet at breakfast, this means the food was always very fresh and no food waste!! ANd yes, there were power cuts and no water at times but this is very normal in Africa :) And Paco and Maria always tried their best to keep it to a minimum, sometimes it is out of their control especially if there is heavy rain as we had one day.

Everything! The facilities are very beautiful, clean and maintained with care. Food is very delicious and there is always variety of different cuisines and options. Cocktails were professionally made, with good quality ingredients, tasty. Staff is super friendly in a nice, pleasant way. Room was clean, beautiful, spacious and had everything we needed. Beach in front of the hotel is well maintained, not crowded and very calm. There are several beds from the hotel on the beach where you can rest and enjoy the day. We stayed for a week and loved every moment.

It is a very quite hotel, lots of space for all the guests, the deck is amazing. They have loungers which aren't on the beach which you end up being grateful for as sometimes the locals "beach boys" can get a bit much, but you experience them everywhere in Zanzibar. The tide does go out quite a bit on the East Coast, so not a lot of prime swimming time. We loved the staff and they were very attentive and friendly. We had a rented car so drove up to Nungwi for a vibe for a day, it was about a 30minute drive. About 5 minutes walk from the hotel there were two great "local-ish" restuarants run by local guys. The one was called Marlin local restaurant and the other one was called Yellow Coco Restaurant, the food was exceptional and worth going out of your comfort zone for. We did go at the end of June just before major tourist season hits, so it might be louder closer to tourist season, but we really feel like this place exceeded our requirements and expectations. One thing to note is the bar and restaurant at the hotel do charge dollar prices, so going to the local restaurant really helped us budget wise.

A beautiful resort with a great beach. Fantastic Staff - could not have wished for a better stay. Gelato Shop on site at the Mora is even a “grown up” kids’ dreams. The cocktail menu very imaginative. Loved that all veg,fruit and fish are locally sourced.

The hotel was excellent but the beach is like almost all of the Zanzibar´s beaches - white sand but full of weeds and practically impossible to swim. Fortunately you can go to Kendwa beach to enjoy the swimming in the sea (about 30 minutes).

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.

Great location, directly at the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. Very large infinity pool and plenty of other pools to swim and play in. A lot staff and all very friendly. A lot of activities to choose from. Yoga with Sachin is really incredible, he is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever met. He will offer 2-3 group classes as well as 1:1 training on demand. Yoga and was my main activity during my stay :-) The live cooking event at the Asian restaurant was amazing too.

The photos don’t do justice to this hotel and its true experience. The views and surroundings are absolutely breathtaking — from the pool overlooking the ocean to the private beach access, everything felt like a dream. The service was excellent, and the rooms with private pools are simply out of this world. You can’t come to Matemwe without experiencing Kasha!
