The hotel is absolutely gorgeous — I loved the room! It felt modern yet cosy. The staff were incredibly friendly and came by twice a day: once to clean and once in the evening to prepare the room for sleep, complete with an anti-mosquito spray — such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant was lovely with great food, and the location is perfect for a quiet, relaxing, and romantic getaway.

This hotel was by far the best one we stayed at during our trip to Tanzania (we visited four different ones). It's extremely well designed, spotlessly clean, the food was very good, and the host was outstanding—better than anywhere else we stayed. Highly recommended!

The entire property, including the pool, was very clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is superior and made fresh - not buffet. We were three adults and our room had three beds and plenty of space.

It’s beautifully decorated, extremely clean and the staff are sweet and very friendly. They decorated our room for our honeymoon and we even received a free bottle of champagne. The pool was always clean and the facilities around it as well. You’re very short walk from the beach and can walk to local shops if you seek some variety . We had a problem with our water but that was fixed once we had brought up the problem with management. Overall I have nothing to fault them for. Thanks again for the lovely service.

Kasia & Pawel were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to accommodate us last minute. The view from the restaurant upstairs was amazing and the small play area for the kids was prefect to keep them busy while we enjoyed the view. The fish market next door was a site in itself and would have been worth driving an hour to see. So many different species being sold as the fisherman arrived to the shore in front of the hotel. The local children playing soccer on the beach and so many restaurants within walking distance. Snorkel trips can be booked to Memba island that leave from the beach which you can easily see from the hotel.

I am a Traveller, i have been to 30 destinations, but the experience I had at Sevi was the best out of all my experiences. The staff were so so warm and friendly, they felt like family. Big thanks to Petro, Salloum, the assistant manager and all the amazing team. The ambiance is very special, you feel you are in jungle/island.

I fell I love with the bathroom amenities, the shower gel and shampoo were exceptional.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

    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.

    The restaurant of the hotel is exceptional. By far the best food we had in Zanzibar. The menu is both sophisticated yet simple, it has plenty of choices with very fresh ingredients and really well cooked dishes. Definitely a highlight of our stay. The hotel is clearly run in a very ethical way with a clear ambition to give back to the local community and reduce its environmental impact which was really appreciable. Loved the tours that were organised with local guides, loved the kindness and dedication of the staff.

    1000/10. This is incredible place. You will not regret it. Calm place, beautiful interior design, warm and kind hotel staff, really helpful manager, the best beach - wide and clean, two swimming pools, yummy food, comfy beds, yoga classes! I was in many hotel around the world and I am rather picky but this place should have the rate closer to 10 for sure! I liked it so much that I decided to come back here for a second stay. In Matemwe - the best place to stay for a couple of nights!

    We have been to several hotels in Zanzibar and this was one of the best. Really felt like paradise and has its own private access to the beach and sunbeds by the pool and by the beach. Very close to Mnemba snorkeling, in comparison to if one was at Nugwi, we paid $20 each for a trip to the corals for snorkeling.
