Perfect getaway
This is a great place to spend a relaxing few days. The room was large, clean, and comfortable, with a great view of the ocean. The staff is beyond friendly and responsive. And the food is tasty and reasonably priced.

The hotel is very rustic and feels like it fits within the ambience of Zanzibar. located right on the white sands next to the Indian Ocean with restaurants nearby, that are accessible by walking along the beach. The owners and staff were so welcoming and truly lovely people. The hotel is of a size where you get to know the staff and they know you. Highly recommend it.....

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location, right in the middle of the very long Matemwe beach. We loved everything about the hotel. Our room - a junior suite with a beach view and balcony - was gorgeous and very large. There was a view of the ocean from every room, including the shower, and the room was very clean and comfortable in every way. The restaurant is also excellent as is the bar (better cocktails than most places in East Africa). Our favorite dish was the ceviche, but everything was great. The pools, lobby, lounging areas were all beautiful as well. Also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, who arranged activities including a snorkeling and dolphin trip to Mmemba atoll. The hotel also offers excellent massages onsite and a free yoga class twice a week. We just loved everything about this hotel and would happily return here.

Nydelig sted med god mat
Rolig og trivelig sted med veldig hyggelig personale. Vi hadde halvpensjon og var veldig fornøyd med både frokost og 3-retters middag. Leilighet med sjøutsikt var topp. Eneste å trekke for var at aircondition i vår leilighet var litt svak.
