This is a superb charmy, down-to-earth small hotell with excellent food and the best hosts you can imagine. After a week on safaris it was a true blessing to arrive here with its tranquillity and cues that really knew how to cook. I strongly recommend it to everyone who visits Zanzibar

Great hotel on the beautiful beach of Matemwe in northern Zanzibar. Owners and staff were very friendly and accomodating. But I would really recommend going to this hotel because of the food. delicious! We booked half board and the breakfast menu was amazing. For dinner we had a choice of two main courses and everything was really great. We were also happy with the rooms - we booked the two on the second floor with a beach view and balconies. The beds were good and we got extra pillows and duvets without any delay when we asked for it. The pool is not very large but never crowded since the hotel only has a few rooms. They also hepled us book taxi from and to the airport as well as a full day boat trip of snorkeling. Would defintelty go back again.

If you‘re looking for a peaceful and quiet getaway, that‘s the place where you wanna be. Comfy sunbeds, excellent pool, friendly and attentive staff and a super delicious restaurant. Prices for a resort reasonable, sure at local places it‘s cheaper but the quality of the food you get is outstanding. Very good breakfast aswell as the swedish fika at 4pm. All wishes were fulfilled without any complaint. We had a wonderfull stay, thank you so much!

We had booked this little hotel for six nights, but as soon as we stepped into the veranda/bar/restaurant we felt that we could stay forever...so booked another six nights directly, without even seeing our room. But we did not regret it!. This is a a hotel with all small details that makes you feel at home; for example a beach basket with towels and sun hats in every room. And as a Swedish person I loved the 'fika' every afternoon at 4 o'clock :-)
Finally - the food...was delicious! I don't remember how many times I had the mango/avocado/shrimp salad or the tuna steak.
If you are out for a cosy small hotel (only 14 rooms I think), on a fantastic beach, just book!

My husband and I spent a few days on the Matemwe side of Zanzibar to do some diving. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the dive shop and are so glad we did! The owners were very sweet and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. The owner even kindly allowed us a (very) late check-out our final day to account for our final dive. I would highly recommend this location as a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the activities the eastern side of the island has to offer!

I felt home away from home. Over the stay with my wife, it was good time. Food was well managed, I enjoyed their evening dessert than anything ever served for me in any hotel. Set up on an open beach with cool see breeze in the evening.
