We LOVED our stay at the Zanzibar Queen, and we were there for several days. The property is gorgeous - lushly landscaped, with lots of nooks and crannies for privacy and variety (poolfront, beachfront, etc.). The room was beautifully appointed, simple in the best way (organic/local materials, not overcrowded with furniture), with a great mattress and somehow no bugs or mosquitoes anywhere?! Staff was super friendly, attentive without being obtrusive. Daily breakfast was spectacular - varied and delicious, with fruit, eggs, even oatmeal. Staff & management went out of their way to accommodate - extra special thanks to Derek, Abdul, Anithra, Zafarani... whose smiles and special care were so appreciated.

Located in Matemwe this hotel is right in front of the best beach in Zanzibar. If you are looking for a laid back vacation away from the hustle and bustle Matemwe is definitely a spot for you.

Mo United States of America

Friendly and flexible staff, great restaurant and bar too. The only place I want to stay when I come back. George at the reception, Anitha and Robert at the restaurant were fantastic people worth saying hi to.

Daniel United Arab Emirates

The food at the hotel was fantastic. The staff including the owners were extremely helpful. We had 4 rooms and a very late flight back to Dar Es Salaam and they let us keep 2 of the rooms until we left around 6pm

Rahul United States of America

The managers took exceptional care of us, upgrading us to a bigger nicer room with a view. Massage facilities are nice. There is a live entertainment in the hotel restaurant on the weekends.

Katerina United States of America

Amazing beach, staff and the restaurant deserves a michelan star!

Guilherme Sweden

Staff was so friendly and helpful, the private beach was incredible, all the hotel amenities were amazing & it was super easy to book excursions at the front desk
