l hôtel est bien située sur une belle plage
Très dépaysant le petit déjeuner est copieux et délicieux le dîner est toujours excellent accompagné de bons petits plat
Can’t rate the hotel highly enough, mainly because of the service! Great food, very relaxed and you couldn’t be looked after better. Wonderful location. You must always remember you are in Africa so there will be some challenges but Magic will smooth those out. You would be missing out not to stay here...
Nice place, great staff, good food beautiful beach. You could borrow kayaks and join yoga lessons for free. The beach has some seaweed due to the reef, thats the fact for the coast up to north of Kenya.
At first I would like to thank a lot to manager Lukas, who was very helpful and let us have a very late checkout for no extra fee (due to low season). Hotel is small but so cute, super friendly stuff, clean and nice furnished rooms. There is no air conditioner only the fan, but honestly it is absolutely fine and sufficient. the beach is amazing in both cases - during high tide or low tide. What about the restaurant - I don't think I had better meals anywhere else on island. Really amazing food!!! Hotel offer all possible trips on island. I highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling as couple.
Omdat we pas ‘s middags vertrokken, maar om 10 uur ‘s ochtends moesten uitchecken, vroegen we of we wel mochten blijven om te zwemmen, drinken, eten etc. Dat mocht en we hebben zelfs de kajak even mogen lenen om het water op te gaan. Minpuntje was de barman die geen wisselgeld teruggaf en zichzelf brutaal een fooi wilde toe-eigenen.
This is a well run hotel with basic facilities. The problem is the beach. It is full of rocks and sea urchins making it unusuable. No one was swimming in the sea. This should be made clear as not everyone wants to swim in the pool.
My friend and I came here to relax, dive and celebrate my birthday. The entire stay made it an exceptional experience and the staff (Robert and Joel) were friendly, efficient and very welcoming. A compliment to the chef, as his lunch and dinner menus were excellent throughout the week. The receptionist Geriath (we hope that we spelled it correctly) was beyond what words can explain. Very kind, service minded and simply pleasant charisma. The owner of the hotel was delightful and very accommodating and thoughtful to our needs, especially on our departure day. We enjoyed the massage very much as they were good and friendly as well. The small hotel was charming and very stylish with African vibes and decor.
All in all, a wonderfull experience and place. Thank you all

Beauty isn't enough.
Hotel beach chair area is beautiful..however the beach is impossible to swim in. The tide is to far out. Also great deal of seaweed and other plant like things flouting in the water does not make it appealing.
NO AC! I missed this part during booking and it ruing my stay, extremely hard to sleep in the heat at night with just a fan. Water in the shower and sink come out salty, very weird to brush teeth and shower.
No bottled water, they filter water into a glass jar and sell it to you for 2-3$.
Food was not bad, they have a nice lunch and dinner menu. Breakfast was the same everyday, standard eggs and toast.
This area of the island is extremely quiet, no life, youll be completely alone, if you like that, its fine, I have a better time up north in nungwi with the nightly hotel band shows and people watching.
Aside from that service is great, staff is friendly.
El hotel está muy bien y bien ubicado en Matenwe, un pueblecito que no está tan saturado de hoteles y turistas por lo que guarda mayor encanto. Se trata de un pueblecito pesquero.
Las instalaciones y la habitación estaban muy bien, recomendable pagar algo más por una habitación en el segundo piso o en el tercer piso porque los que están en la zona baja tienen poca intimidad (al igual que los dos bungalows).
Lo único que no nos gustó es el desayuno ya que no es buffet. Tienen un menú cerrado que es siempre lo mismo, al estar seis días alojados al final se hacía muy repetitivo.
En las cercanías, en la playa, hay varios sitios locales donde poder comer o cenar a precios mucho más bajos que en el hotel. En el pueblecito, a unos 10 minutos andando, en el centro de Matenwe hay alguna tienda donde también pueden comprarse productos de alimentación.
Las excursiones las contratamos también en los puestos de personas locales que hay en la playa, a precios mucho más bajos que en el hotel (la mitad de precio), también los desplazamientos en taxi. Hay en Matenwe un puesto con taxis locales donde pueden contratarse también los desplazamientos y excursiones (se negocia el precio).
This side of Zanzibar Island is quite a distance from any service, shopping or dining so everything has to be arranged through the hotel or a tour company. It is a small boutique hotel, which we liked and worked out ok for us, but we didn't really realize in advance that once you're there, you're kinda stuck. We enjoyed the food, salt-water pool, sit-upon kayaks (not sea kayaks) and walking on the beach but it was quite windy while we were there and the bicycles were old and rickety, but gave us a good workout. There were some poor descriptions about what each tour included, there is no laundry facility guests can use as the website said. They could send laundry out, but not very cheaply, and we were concerned how long it would take. The desk manager did work with us to clarify tour descriptions and coordinated transfers and tours to our satisfaction. He made adjustments to the tour descriptions and our final bill when we pointed out the discrepancies, so were grateful for that. Stone Town and Prison Island tours were not as impressive as expected, but I'm comparing to an extremely well-done tour in Ghana of the slave dungeons of the Cape Coast Castle, which was much more comprehensive and informative.
If you are prepared to just go relax on the beach or by the pool, it's a beautiful setting, but be warned the tide goes in and out nearly 3 times per day, so swimming in the ocean when the tide is out really isn't an option.
It is a gated security property.
EXCELLENT !
Nous sommes venus dans cette hôtel pour notre lune de miel et l’hôtel à mis des fleurs partout dans la chambre c’était magnifique !
Le personnel est top ! Ils sont tous bienveillant, souriant et à l’écoute ! Si je reviens c’est vraiment pour eux !
