Perfect hotel very quiet the good dimensions. The personnels on top. The boss very sympathic. The room very clean. Good coktaild

A little piece of paradise

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.

The king bed was 2 beds together and you fell through in the middle a bit.

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.

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.

Excellent pool. Clean beach. Excellent menu buy if you have preferences and ingredients are available the restaurant would make a la carte meals.

Parfait!

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

Très bel hôtel petite structure personnel au top tout à été parfait

Great stay, amazing staff, beautiful views! Can’t wait to go back!

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 ! Tout est conforme à la description sur les photos

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).

Toda a experiência foi incrível. Desde as instalações, ao serviço, comida, tudo 5 estrelas. Nota especial à simpatia dos trabalhadores todos do hotel!
