Great place to stay with a great host.

The host - Paco - he is great, always there to help. A lot of vegetation, very exotic feeling, furnished in a traditional—hippie-modern way. Bungalow at ground floor with pool view was the best for us. A lot of places to stay for sunbathing and relaxing during the day. Also not far from the beach (5-10 min walking). Food from the restaurant was very good, tasy, fresh and menu quite varied. Staff is very nice. They aslo have recommendations for any trip or local experience you want to have, taxis or local guides.

Un cadre et un environnement charmant assombri par le comportement irrespectueux, condescendant et les personnalités tox

Le cadre et La décoration.

- La situation géographique trop isolée de l’animation de la ville et trop distante de la mer - l’accueil « douteux » du propriétaire , saoule et beaucoup trop tactile à notre goût (nous a embrassés et accolés) - l’attitude agressive et condescendante de la propriétaire qui s’acharnait à rester dans le déni de l’attitude de son mari - le colonisme assumé des propriétaires qui se comportent avec agressivité et mépris envers leurs employés locaux (coup de pied pour réveiller un salarié qui dormait sur un matelas par-terre le soir de notre arrivée)

Just about perfect stay

Wonderful chill spaces throughout the property. Several different places to lounge on comfy couches in the shade. The yoga space was a huge plus-- nice to have room to stretch out. The pools were nice and perfect for a short swim or quick dip. Decent wifi, too. The kids loved the numerous cats and the barefoot walking ambiance

For longer stays, a bit more variety on both the breakfast and main menu would be wonderful. Pools occasionally had bugs, some of which bit. Power outages were a significant problem. They often lasted hours or would happen over and over. Lack of air conditioning in the room was a challenge for several members of our group, especially when coupled with nightly power outages. The location is quiet but has little to offer in the surrounding town.

Everything about our stay was perfect. All of the staff were attentive and kind. We loved the community involvement and

The grounds were absolutely stunning with their gardens and sanely paths. No need for shoes here! The furniture was all refurbished from old wooden boats and the pools were perfectly cool with perfectly relaxing places to lounge. Easy to find a quiet spot to retreat.

Nothing. It was perfect!

The whole space is beautifully designed and maintained. The hosts are warm hearted and really helpful. We immediately felt at ease and enjoyed the beautiful garden and the three pools as well as the tasty food.

It can take quite a while for food to be delivered after ordering. We recommend ordering a bit ahead of time to avoid longer waiting times. The food is worth the wait though!

Idyllic stay

Paco and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful during our stay. The food at the restaurant was reasonable and delicious, while the new bungalow by the pool was idyllic.

The lights in the bungalow flickered a little when the hot water was running, but wasn't really an issue

Nice hotel with tasty restaurant and 3 swimming-pools

Really nice hotel with 3 swimming-pools and a delicious restaurant (either for breakfast, lunch or dinner). The staff is really friendly and helpful ! The room is nice with a big terrasse with chairs and a table, really convenient for the people who need to work !

The wifi is more or less reliable There was a bad smell coming from the bathroom due to toilets with a septic tank.

Paradise

Absolutely beautiful tropical gardens surround the pool and bar/restaurant area, all under traditional thatched roofs. Another two swimming pools on site with a brand new block of six rooms. Our breakfast was delicious and I can’t find fault with any aspect of our stay. A wonderful place to unwind and relax.

The Property is amazingly well kept and really really beautiful with all the plants and swings and relaxing spots. The room was nice and big! The upstairs Yoga space was free for us to use and the there was also the possibility of Yoga lessons with Maria. the food was amazing! We could give our laundry to wash for only 5$ each. really nothing to complain, everything was perfect!

Worth it to stop for a night despite the heat

Personal is very nice and the bungalow was amazing, very good atmosphere with a superb garden. Few places in front of the house to park if you come by car. Close to the beach by walking distance

Like written in the description it is no AC. I support and understand their decision, but we ended up not sleeping because it was very hot in our bungalow.

The garden Was amazing. Well kept green oasis in the middle of Matemwe. The rooms are cleaned daily, the food is delicious and the owners are one of the nicest people we've ever met. The resort is close to a well stocked supermarket and some local restaurants. Our stay there was one we will not forget.

Very nice and very relaxed

This is a very relaxed place, ideal to lean back and enjoy. A huge garden, beautifully kept, invites you to spend time all day, good breakfast and if you like you can also have dinner here. The beach is about 10 minutes by walk, on the way you get in touch with local people and can even buy some fruit, everyone is very friendly. The hosts are very nice, attentive and engaged, and are happy to arrange trips like snorkeling or sightseeing on the island - they recommend local services only and employ local people, this is great and unfortunately not very common in other hotels or restaurants. The beach in Matemwe was empty in October.

The beach itself is nice, in the water you need to pay attention as there are many sea urchins.

Een ontzettend fijne plek met een geweldige energie!!

This was really coming home! I was looking for some peace and quiet after climbing kilimanjaro and I couldn't have picked a better place than this! As soon as I arrived, I booked an extra three nights. The energy is so pleasant and you really have everything at your disposal. two swimming pools, a restaurant, you can take yoga classes or a massage. The latter is definitely recommended! Paco and Maria are very hospitable and gave me the feeling that I was part of their existence! thank you very much for this!

Very good

Amazing staff! The garden is lovely, the place is quiet, the yoga room relaxing, and the lack of air conditioning is not a particular concern.

The distance from the beach is not a big issue, but it does make a difference. The snorkelling trip to Mnemba atoll organised through a connection of the staff was disappointing: The crew did not speak English and did not seem particularly interested in the well-being of the sea life we encountered.

Beautiful bungalows and garden!

Cute bungalows and absolutely gorgeous garden, located within walking distance of our scuba company for a trip to Mnemba, very friendly and responsive owners, clean, lofted bed and mosquito nets, private yoga class :)

The only part of the stay that could have been better was not having AC, which made sleeping on a very hot night difficult. However, appreciated the eco focus, plus the owners brought another fan which helped a lot!

Welcome to paradise

Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere! The place itself is incredibly beautiful, we felt like in paradise. The hosts were super kind and friendly, also the staff at the restaurant was lovely and caring. Everything was super clean as well.

The only thing which was unfortunate were animals (I guess monkeys?) On the roof that made sounds in the evening and during the night and made it difficult to fall asleep.
