We really liked the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Everything was in place and worked perfectly – air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi.The staff was really helpful - you can see that they care. The food in the restaurant was tasty, with portions just right. The beach is wide and clean – perfect for walks and relaxing. The area is quiet, ideal for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, it's definitely worth coming here!

We absolutely loved the place and the hosts, Tomasz and Maggie, who welcomed us wholeheartedly and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Since we traveled during the low season, we were kindly offered an upgrade to the Ocean Room — and we loved it! We only left the property once, for a snorkeling tour, because everything we needed was right there. The food at the restaurant was excellent, and we chose to dine in every night.

Haber Hotel is a fantastic place! Small family hotel located in Matemwe, it offers comfort and quiet atmosphere for a relaxing holiday. I would recommend it to all those who want to avoid the big crowded noisy touristic hotels on the coast but in the same time want to stay close to beautiful beaches (nearby you can find Muyuni beach and Matemwe beach). The owners, Kris and Kasha, are great and would do everything to make the stay of the guests unforgettable. The staff is very kind and the whole dynamic of this property is tailored to fit the needs and comfort of the guests. Breakfast is fabulous, served from 8am till noon, for those who like to sleep in late, and for lunch and dinner we could chose delicious options from a rich menu or even off menu. Pets are welcome (the hotel is actually named after Haber, the owners' cute Cocker Spaniel). At any time of our stay we felt welcome, safe, well taken care of and even spoiled.

We had an amazing honeymoon at Mambo Paradise in Zanzibar. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. The peaceful environment was perfect for relaxing, and they organized day trips and taxi pickups effortlessly. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional hospitality and a memorable stay!

Staying at Alladin was an unforgettable experience. What truly made this place stand out was the incredible staff. Khamis, Benito, Faraja, Mona, and the rest of the team made me feel like part of their family. Their warmth, kindness, and constant willingness to help turned this hotel into my home on Zanzibar. I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every moment—relaxing by the pool, swimming in the sea (which was especially amazing from 3 PM onwards when it felt like a natural hot tub!), and simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. As a solo traveler, I always felt that someone from the hotel was looking out for me, which made my stay even more special. The rooms are perfect. The food was absolutely delicious! I ate at the restaurant almost every day, and there were plenty of great vegetarian options. Beyond the hotel itself, they took such great care of me when organizing excursions. Everything was arranged flawlessly—packed breakfasts, reliable taxis, excellent guides—it made exploring Zanzibar so easy and stress-free. This is the perfect place to feel at home in Zanzibar. The only downside? You won’t want to leave!

We loved everything during our stay. Especially our 2,5 years old son Adam was so happy there. Very kind, better say friendly employees and the manager too. All of them still smiling, helpfull and villing to make our wishes come true. Truly cozy room and the whole resort. A huge portions of food that was always soooo delicius. It's gonna be extremely demanding for local management and staff to do additional improvements of any kind 😏👍.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Everything!!!! The best service ever! The best hotel in zanzibar! The hotel is next to the beach. The beach is less for swimming because of many seaweed. The hotel is beautiful, new, clean, modern, and there is also a spa. They sang to us happy anniversary and surprised with chocolate cake. Also the bed was well organized and in the room we found sparkling wine! The view from the room is outstading, especially during sunrise. The area is not crowded as other part of Zanzibar and for us it was perfect! The food was very good!
