A magical place in Zanzibar. Everything was beautiful and perfectly thought out in every detail. The hotel has a charming, boutique feel – definitely more so than a typical resort. The breakfasts were delicious and fresh, and the wide, sandy beach is a true paradise – one of the most beautiful on the entire island, perfect for long, peaceful walks. We visited both Clove hotels – the one in Makunduchi also left a very good impression on us.

Wow what an Incredible hotel. We had nothing short of a perfect stay. I can’t recommend this hotel enough- with absolutely nothing to fault as a guest. The hotel itself self is new and all the finishings and amenities show that, such a beautiful design with a beautiful vibe! The location is perfect for some quiet down time, only a few steps on your on white sand and blue waters, with other restaurants and hotels close by if you wish. Local tours are all central and assessable. The food at the hotel was the best we found from everywhere we ate. Not to mention the staff were all friendly and accommodating from the cleaners, wait staff and pool boys. And last but not least the hotel owners- the icing on the cake to an incredible stay! So friendly, helpful, accommodating and personal. You will not feel like another number at a large hotel here! You will feel like you’re in paradise with family.

The room was very big, a lot of space, same for the bathroom, the bed was comfortable, in the morning we got an amazing breakfast, the staff is very nice, and the owner as well. We stayed only one night, so we didn't had time to talk much with the staff, but we will come back for sure.

The peace and tranquility. It is a small hotel but very personable. The staff are very helpful and friendly, it's very clean and the rooms are so comfortable. The food is great and the pools are lovely. The beach is lovely to swim in when it is high tide only and you can walk along the lengthy beach. There is use of bikes and kayaks also.

Wonderful Stay at Salama Mbuyuni Bungalow I had a fantastic experience staying at Salama Mbuyuni Bungalow. The place is perfect for relaxation and unwinding — peaceful, beautiful, and truly serene. The food was absolutely delicious; I especially recommend the Thai beef salad, which was a real great. The team was incredibly friendly and always smiling, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is very nice and kind, making guests feel at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great food and wonderful people.

    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.

    The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

    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.

    We love this place. Firstly, Matemwe is a relatively quiet spot and the lodge opens up to the beach. You can spend all day just watching life happen or go for a swim/snorkel at high tide or get on a boat to snorkel further out beyond the reef. Secondly the space is comfortable and clean. The staff and the owner are also fantastic…friendly and attentive. The buffet breakfast is great too.

    Fantastic location of the hotel in the middle of a local village at the beach. Perfect host with the warmest welcome you can imagine and the way every single staff members treat you makes you feel king and queen. Amazing white beach in front of you with the magical sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean makes it a paradise and a must-stay when you are on the beautiful island of Zanzibar
