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.AodhanIreland - 8.0Scored 8.0

Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

Marafiki gets a 10/10 from us on all fronts - breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool, cleanliness, hospitality, music, sustainability, beach, communication. My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Marafiki after our Safari and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and beautifully set up. The food is exceptional - please try the tuna tartar and all the specials! We had a relaxing time at the spa - you must try the full body scrub and massages. We used the free kayaks during sunset and enjoyed the stunning view from the water. The water is shallow so even if you go far, you can get off the kayak and swim. Since the hotel is east facing - sunrise is exceptionally beautiful. The water is still and shallow, and you can see all the fisherman walk up to the reef to catch the fish. The hotel also arranged a cooking lesson in Matamwe village for us - we learned how to cook ‘muchuzi’ from scratch which was a very meaningful experience. Overall- no negatives. We had the best time and will be back!

The beach is beautiful, but it's not really a beach you can swim on - there's a big tidal range - when it comes in it's quite choppy with lots of seaweed, and when it's out its corally with lots of urchins. But it's interesting to watch the local people looking for octopus and shellfish every day. It's quite a quiet area - all the bars are part of hotels. A few nice local restaurants around. Quite a lot of beach touts, which we found off putting. Not loads of activities to do in the area - 1/2 day snorkelling/dolphin watching trips at Mnemba Island basically.AlexUnited Kingdom

- From $144 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 455 reviewsSince Matemwe is heavily influences by the tide, a pool at the hotel is crucial on the east side of Zanzibar. This hotel has a pool right by the beach. Staff is kind and rooms are comfy with good ac. Each evening the staff goes through the rooms spraying mosquito repellent which is a very nice touch. Restaurant prices are good for this area of Zanzibar. Close to Mnemba island and Dolphin snorkeling to make tours for scuba diving and snorkeling. Located on a very nice beach but beware the beach boys selling stuff there are very persistant.
MikaelSweden - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 265 reviewsThis is my first trip to Zanzibar and I decided to start with Mnemba island and hence Matemwe Magic hotel is what I chose! I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Perfect in all ways. The staff is so polite and friendly. They understand you and take care of your requirements. The rooms are clean and spacious and it feels amazinggg and most importantly safe! Coz I am a solo traveler. I would totally recommend this hotel for all travelers coming to Zanzibar and especially plan their itinerary which includes Mnemba island!ashvitaIndia

FaisalZambia - From $70 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 399 reviewsThe village is located in Matemwe, front of the beach. Sunset is magic if you achieve to wake up early. Bungalows are very comfy with lot of privacy. Personnal are nice and respectful to your space but if needed, they are always supporting what you need. For those who would like a beer, note that the Village is not providing alcohol. However, you could find affordable local beers near to the hotel. Food is fresh and tasty, breakfast as well. I recommend 100% for couple, group of friends or families.MartinUnited Arab Emirates
- From $78.08 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 460 reviewsThis was our third stop on the island after Stone Town and Nungwi. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of the area and the hotel itself. We actually hardly left the hotel grounds because it was that accomodating. The pool and seating right at the beachfront were plenty and comfortable with enough shade. We were there on Wednesday when there was live music. Band was really nice. Food and drinks were good. The guys working the bar and tables were also all very friendly. Rooms were large and clean.MinnaGermany
- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 257 reviewsIf you’re looking for a peaceful haven with great comfort and completely quite vibes this is the place to be. Then again most people who head to Matemwe head there for the quiet. It’s closely located to the beach and the owner is very helpful . They have little notes of guidelines inside the rooms and also have tide timings across the day which is super helpful if you want to swim. The breakfast was delicious with home made jams and baked stuff . Overall it’s a very peaceful vibe.MadonnaUnited Arab Emirates

ErwannFinland - 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 308 reviewsIt’s a brand new hotel on the beach in very quiet and authentic part of Zanzibar (no pubs or clubs there). I was surprised with quality of finishing in the rooms (unusual for Zanzibar). Excellent service and food in restaurant (it has fine dining restaurant so during dinner you really feel like being in very good restaurant in Europe). Worth to spend few days there.MarcinPoland
