Our stay at Clove Island was truly wonderful! :) The hotel is beautiful, very well maintained, and has a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the food in the restaurant is simply delicious. The beach is wide and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. We had a great time here – it’s the perfect place for anyone looking for relaxation, beautiful views, and high-quality service.

I would recommend Haber apartmans to anyone ! It's a great place, rooms are very spacious, clean and tidy. When it comes to breakfast there was always a lot of fruit and food was really delicious! Beach is close to the apartments, but if you don't want to walk to the beach there's a pool in the garden. Kasia and Kris are extremely helpful and lovely people and even making a cake for my husband's birthday!!! Haber apartmans feels like home and we will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the fabulous Marafiki Beach Hotel in Matemwe. From the moment we arrived, our expectations were exceeded. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home. The views from the hotel were breathtaking. We were able to relax and take in the beauty of the beach, ocean, and nearby islands. The restaurant served delicious food with a variety of options to choose from. Every night was peaceful and serene due to its location on an idyllic white sand beach. We felt so lucky to be able to walk along it admiring the sunset every evening. It was truly magical! We had such an amazing time at Marafiki Beach Hotel that we really hope to be able to come back again one day soon!

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.

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.

Zawadi Beach Villas is located at a beautiful beach in Matemwe. The staff in the hotel is very nice and helpful and the hotel itself is spacious, has a swimming pool and its own restaurant. The hotel is a bit outdated and the aircon is not working properly in some of the rooms. It is a nice place to stay though for good value of money. Matemwe beach is very quiet, you won't see too many people around. It is worth to explore the small local restaurants along the beach, while you are there, for an absolutely delicious fish!

The service, the place, the food and the people are the best if you are looking for a real Zanzibar experience!! Giorgia and Daniele were the most welcome and amazing host you could have met in this wonderful island! We definitely recommend it for couples and friends also for the perfect location, if you like quiet and peace. The beach is literally 5min walking and it's definitely the best side of Zanzibar! We can't wait to come back again! We already miss this amazing place so much!
