Matemwe, Matemwe, Kigomany 🧭 Map
We have spent one week at the hotel. The appartement is huge with an amazing private pool and view on the ocean. The WiFi connection was ok. The food was above all expectations ! Every day included a la carte breakfast. Every day a new diner menue that was top quality. We also have done excursions arranged with the hotel (snorkelling, Matemwe) and massage. The room service is really good and they make...
The place is really quiet, perfect for what we were looking for, to rest and have a good time as a couple.
All the staff are lovely, they all did their best to make sure we had a perfect vacation, Mary is very respectful and dedicated to guests, she made us feel she was dedicated to us, yet she served other guests with the same dedication,, God Bless very kind, Stanley always cheerful, Rashid the manager...
We went there for our honeymoon, the place is amazing, the stuff is beyond friendly and helpful they are always smiling, the food was delicious we didn't expect it to be that good and the villa with private pool was clean and nice.
Highly recommend for honeymooners and even for family/friends trips, hope to visit it again one day ❤️
Your happy guests,
Omar and Rana 😍
I stayed at Kasha for the last two nights of my three week holiday in Tanzania. I was looking for peace, quiet and tranquility after a busy busy time on the mainland. This place is all of that plus more! The location is absolutely stunning and affords you the opportunity to watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean. The staff were always welcoming, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my every...
The place is gorgeous , the staff are so welcoming and so so kind , from the manager to the receptionists to all the waiters. The food was delicious and ambience is so lovely !

Matemwe, P.O. Box 3663 🧭 Map
I've travelled just about all over the world and this hotel was hands down my absolute FAVORITE! We stayed here on our honeymoon and couldn't be more excited that we chose Zanzibar Queen. The location is peaceful and romantic, the rooms were clean and charming, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the food...just WOW. We were blown away and weeks later still talk about how much we enjoyed our entire...
This hotel was just paradise! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids ages 13 and 10) and we had a gorgeous, spacious room. Bathroom, then the kids each had a twin bed in “their room” with a balcony looking out toward the beach and the adults had an attached but private room with a king bed and an equally stunning view. All the beds were fitted with mosquito netting and there was plenty of bottled water...
One of the best hotels we have stayed at since traveling. If you want to stay at an excellent hotel with good food and an extremely quiet area then this is the hotel you need.
The hotel offers a lot of outdoor activities, in the inner courtyard, you can play volleyball, do yoga, enjoy a massage, spa or just enjoy the gorgeous pool. For me, the pool was more than perfect because I am passionate about...
Definitely recommend this amazing hotel. Large & clean rooms with a good bed. Beautiful garden with a huge pool and a lot of places to just chill. The ocean is not really suited to swim because of the sea urchins, but the view is amazing. We took breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious and always fresh. Really nice people too.
One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. Extremely kind staff from every single person working there. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Entire resort was clean, appealing & well taken care of. Food was phenomenal. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
Zanzibar Queen hotel was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. The hotel itself is great; it includes a lot of lounge chairs both near the pool and on the beach located in places to make you comfortable in a private setting amongst the public beaches and other hotel guests. The food was fantastic. The amenities were great, including the unlimited clean drinking water available in dispensers...

Staff are very good, it's nice location, private beach, good breakfast, I enjoyed my stay there. Secluded
The picked us up from the airport . It’s worth the taxi ride out of Stone Town to find this amazing hotel.
We picked it because of the PADI course offered at the hotel. They were professional, friendly and so good with our kids. Jory was an excellent teacher and we all enjoyed the scuba learning.
The hotel has amazing landscaping, friendly staff and many options of food at every meal.

They did not pick us up from the airport although pick-up was agreed. Room service was mediocre, only one out of seven nights our bed was prepared. They charge 5% for credit card payment - no mentioning on the website. Remote location. So nowhere to escape. Food was repetitive after three days. Small portions, Perharpas 100g fish per serving, Also very little vegetables. Snacks (nuts, popcorn, etc...
Many thanks to the Sunshine Marine Lodge staff for a memorable stay.
I felt incredibly comfortable the whole time.
I don't have a single point to complain about and will definitely come back again.
We booked for our honeymoon and we were stunned by the beautiful island and most amazing hotel, people there are all really friendly, all super helpful, we enjoyed our stay so much at Sunshine marine lodge, rooms were amazing, view was fantastic and the Chef's food was 10 out of 10.... hotel is situated high north, but its quite, beautiful and so relaxing. Hotel has free snorkeling gear and coral booties...
This lodge just felt like home, we kept on booking extra nights! Advice: book the upstairs garden view room. 😍 Sea view is only worth it when you book the biggest room. The hotel has a private beach.

I love Villa Kiva in Zanzibar - a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure. My recent stay at this charming hotel was nothing short of magical, and I can confidently say it is a must-visit for anyone exploring this beautiful island.
Ambiance and Location: Villa Kiva is located on the eastern coast of Zanzibar, in the picturesque village of Matemwe. I really liked...
I went there to have some mango ice cream. They charged 2$ for a scoop. They didn't have plastic spoon so I couldn't take it away. But I loved sitting there and having that ice cream. The view was excellent. Ice cream had more ice than the flavor of fruit. It was certainly not the best of ice creams I ever had. But the music and view was definitely the best.
This hidden gem is the perfect romantic retreat for couples! Our five-day vacation was nothing short of extraordinary, with stunning rooms, breathtaking sea views, delectable dining options, and unparalleled service that truly made us feel like cherished guests, rather than mere tourists.
Very quiet and small hotel along a white beach. Very good restaurant, beautiful garden, beautiful views, good swimming pool. The staff were very nice and welcoming. However, the bathrooms require some renovation.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Villa Kiva this September and we had the most pleasant, comfortable stay. The staff is super friendly, very welcoming and the food is amazing. The set menu every night ( which was part of our half board package ) was so good, with different choices and amazing desserts.
A special thanks to Mercy at the reception which was always very helpful and very sweet.
We ordered seafood pasta, cheeseburger and Cezar salad. It’s was a very delicious. Service is good 👍🏼 Also the view from the restaurant is amazing 🤩

We loved our stay at Zoi hotel! Lovely rooms, delicious food, very friendly staff especially the waitress Neema!:) overall great atmosphere! Perfect place to switch off and rest. 100% recommending!
Our stay was amazing!
We received a room with ocean and amazing sunrise
views.
At first we faced some challenges such as lightbulbs, but
after addressing it to reception they took immediate
action and replaced them.….. perfectly service oriented
In the restaurant we we're served most of the time by

were happy to share information or recipes...
Lovely hotel on a yet lovelier beach, which is a haven for those who just want to chill. The hotel staff was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. We appreciated the choice of breakfast items and a beautifully styled fruit platter.
Great place to stay, the food was great. The staff were super friendly, the manager even helped us out a ton with shipping something to someone.

Zanzibar Retreat Hotel
Matemwe, Matemwe 🧭 Map
Review of the restaurant: varied menu with a few interesting veggie options, which is not common here. Great bread basket with what seemed like freshly baked bread incl focaccia, which was a nice touch. Quite pricey, but then most places here seem to be overpriced and it’s part of a hotel so I guess to be expected. Good, friendly and not-too-slow service, nice location just slightly raised up from...
The food and service in this place are better than some 5 star hotels I’ve been to! Truly exceptional! And surely the best hotel I stayed at in Zanzibar
We stayed at Zanzibar retreat hotel for 6 nights. It was the most wonderful stay. The hotel is right on the beach out of tourism magazines- white sand, blue waters and palm trees! This is a small hotel where you get to know other guests and receive highly personalized service. When we left we felt like we were saying good bye to old friends. The rooms were beautiful, the pool and the surrounds were...
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It's a small, cozy and quiet place. Owners and staff are very polite and ready to help. Breakfast could be better; however, a la carte dishes for lunch and dinner are excellent. Cons is that you have to pay in cash (even accommodation), otherwise you would be charged 5% for card usage.
Overall excellent 3 star hotel, highly recommended.
Happy Hour 4-6pm, all cocktails half price!

Small, cozy, so lovely hotel on the white, flat, kilometer-long beach of Matemwe. Small, functionally furnished rooms, Very hard-working and lovely staff (thanks Mischi 😊) and a very good kitchen. Definitely go on a snorkeling excursion (colorful paradise on Mnemba Island) I’ll come back to visit you, it’s a promise
The staff was Very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and the food is good but the menu should have more options. There is a guy who got a shop on the beach near the hotel. His name in Suleyman and such a great guy and make great trips. IF you need someone for trips here is His Number +255 772 439 119.
It's a very good hotel. Very near to Mnemba diving spot. It's definitely perfect spot for relax and enjoy time. The location is quite far away from city center. I was there 2 years ago. The roads were very bad. Beside of the hotel have fish bazaar, It's a perrfect discover. At nights can see milkway and all stars, In early in the morning, sunrise was just amazing. You can see many fishermen going to...

Matemwe, Matemwe 🧭 Map
We struggled to find the place as there is another google maps listing with the same name a couple of kilometres south of the actual resort. Also there is no sign when you arrive at the gate - this seems to be the norm in Zanzibar. Perhaps most people arrive via transfer and not in their own vehicle.
We then struggled to find someone who could check us in.
However, once checked in (by very welcoming...

A very charming private villa in the North-East of Zanzibar. Great food, charming staff that will take care of your personal wishes, organize trips and give you insights into the local life. Feels like paradise with a lush garden, swimming pool and great attention to detail. There are 3 rooms with beds for up to 11 people - so perfect for a little family vacation. Location is close to the prime dive...

Matemwe, Matemwe Beach 🧭 Map
Really nice place. Asilia has landed a good one. The villa with rooftop plunge pool is special. Not sure if it's worth the upcharge, but not looking back.
We were impressed with our liaison Ndaki.
Food was good, not memorable.
Compared to other safari Asilias, it missed the mark. But that was a pretty high mark.
Amazing place! The view from the room is breathless!
The place is wonderful rooms are magnificent
Matemwe Lodge is a really fantastic small lodge with beautiful breezy rooms and wonderful views out to Mnemba Island. We love Matemwe for offering a great escape from the hustle and bustle that surrounds much of Zanzibar. The lodge offers a top level of service, great food and most of all has a trusty history and the backing of a great Safari outfit - Asilia Africa!
Awesome place, stay in a private resort if you can!!

Where to start? This really is a beautiful hotel in all ways. From my room I had a fantastic vista of the entire beach and it was a real pleasure just sitting there watching the world go by. There is so much room in the lobby, by the pool, on the beachfront where you can just relax and chill out.
The food really is magnificent and credit to managers and the staff. Every dish I tried (most of them)...
Great location. Road needs to be resurfaced to allow better access to the hotel.

It's a 4 star hotel, and the staff was very great, but it's in the middle of nowhere, Google doesn't find it, and even though I was in a lot of hotels on Sansibar, this was the hardest to find. Once you solved it, you are in a typical 4* hotel - and you'll miss this beautiful island. That's a pity. On the beach left of the hotel is a very good restaurant directly on the sea, and they have great octopus...

Very good hotel, in particular the bar and restaurant are exceptional because of the great chef and great staff serving you. The food is of a great quality, suitable for adults and kids. Fresh fish, tasty steak or ceviche, it all came by on the menu. The menu is changing on daily bases and you can basically select from the day-menu whatever you like. We took half board option and this is definitely...
We really enjoyed our time here at the hotel! Nice rooms, very calm atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful garden.
What could have been better: Food and drinks are very expensive, each guest gets only one bottle of drinkable water a day (to less for these temperatures and it’s hard to buy water somewhere else), variety of breakfast very low (mostly every day the same offer).
Great place, location, accommodation and food. Friendly staff. Superb beach with amazing white sand. Sunrise is breathtaking. Variation of blue of the Ocean are impossible to describe. Beach is endless.
Fewer hotel/resorts than other places in Zanzibar, so less tourists. More authentic experience. Local people are friendly, cheerful and ready to help. Close from Mnemba Island, must do excursion.

Real African hospitality.
The management attaches great importance to quality vacations.
the rooms are clean, they are cleaned regularly. The place, with flowers and plants, gives the place a real paradise atmosphere, all in the most beautiful and quiet place on the island.
The food is impeccably delicious, we had a really good time, we would go back anytime.

This is definitely paradise on earth....we highly recommend this place should you be looking for a cute and calm little place. We stayed two nights. The lodge only has four spacious bedrooms.
