This page is not long enough to describe all our praise of this true piece of Paradise here. We were looking for a place to relax (but had also something special to celebrate!), and since we would never find all this in all those huge All-in resorts, we chose this gem. This boutique hotel was also brand new! Upon arrival we already felt the warm welcome of the owners: Tomek and Malgo! We were given a welcome drink, a tour, and all the info of everything we could enjoy. And from the 1st second: we DID enjoy! Everything is brought here with so much taste, details, and together with their beautiful African interior and exterior: it takes you INSTANT in the right relax mood! ( also the background music at the wonderfull 1/2 open restaurant was always harmoniously accompanied ) Their entire staff was AMAZING too! I don't remember all their names, but they all stand out for their kindness and sincere hospitality! From the room ladies to the hostess, from the waiters to the lady who provided the massages: they are also VERY professional! (Don't be persuaded to have your massages done on the beach by other massage beach ladies! Here in this hotel you do get the wonderfully fine and fragrant massage oils, clean towels every turn and the (necessary )sea breeze in the blissful massage house with stunning views on the beach / sea! And of course the GREAT massages!!! And the food!! SUPER! I did love the fresh fruit plate and the fresh coconut milk as extra at breakfast: for me, there was even too mutch choice on the breakfast menu, but of course, this variety is great for everyone else. We have our own restaurant (Italian) in Belgium, and are therefore quite picky! We also tried out a few evenings some other restaurants in the area, but none of them could match the refined, tasty, and sometimes original cuisine of the Chef here. Do you wish for something that is not on their menu? Do ask: the answer is always : Hakuna Matata! No problem!

Haber Hotel is a fantastic place! Small family hotel located in Matemwe, it offers comfort and quiet atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. I would recommend it to all those who want to avoid the big crowded noisy touristic hotels on the coast but in the same time want to stay close to beautiful beaches (nearby you can find Muyuni beach and Matemwe beach). The owners, Kris and Kasha, are great and would do everything to make the stay of the guests unforgettable. The staff is very kind and the whole dynamic of this property is tailored to fit the needs and comfort of the guests. Breakfast is fabulous, served from 8am till noon, for those who like to sleep in late, and for lunch and dinner we could chose delicious options from a rich menu or even off menu. Pets are welcome (the hotel is actually named after Haber, the owners' cute Cocker Spaniel). At any time of our stay we felt welcome, safe, well taken care of and even spoiled.

Ala&Suavek

From

Netherlands

After a week long safari on the mainland, we relaxed and rested for a few days in the Zanzibar Queen Hotel and it was a perfect decision. The managing staff (Regina, Darek) were exceptionally welcoming and dedicated a lot of their time to make us feel at home, sharing some interesting info about the island. The reception/restaurant/cleaning staff were great too. The hotel has a big and deep pool surrounded by a beautiful garden with plenty of places to rest on sunbeds and comfy armchairs. There is a row of sunbeds at the beach and, while we have not used them, it seemed that the locals are asked not to bother people using the hotel sunbeds. And the beach... super wide (at low tide) with totally white sand, absolutely gorgeous. Sea urchins make it a bit difficult to enjoy the water but the hotel provides rubber shoes for the guests so at high tide it's just fine to swim near the shore. Breakfast is a buffet with tonnes of options including great coffee. Lunch can be ordered a la carte but there is also a daily special menu for those who want something extra. Dinner menu changes daily as well but there is the possibility to order something else from the regular menu. All food we tried was very very good! The hotel organises some free activities for the guests every day. Yoga in the mornings, reef walks at low tide, some singing and dancing performances in the evenings. You can also get bikes with relatively wide tyres which are great for biking down the beach. Overall, we had excellent vacation and can strongly recommend the hotel!

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

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.

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

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.

We stayed for 5 nights at the most beautiful resort in Zanzibar. Thomas' welcome at 11 PM with a birthday cake, songs, and room decorations touched us deeply. His hospitality was exceptional and enhanced our entire vacation experience. His wife also took care of everything for us. We enjoyed the proximity to the sea and the clean beach that the hotel offers. The rooms are designed to a high standard, down to the smallest detail, and the cleanliness is 10/10. If you come to Zanzibar, stay only at this hotel.
