Everything! The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The decoration, the pool area, the restaurant, everything is thoughtfully and tastefully designed. It was also spotless throughout our stay. And last but not least, everyone we interacted with (from reception to restaurant staff, security, and cleaning) was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and kind. It made our stay feel special!

This is my first 10 given on Booking.com, but this vacation definitely deserves it. Vacation means people, location and resort all together. Malgo, Tomek and their full Dream Team is the first key component of the amazing days we spent there: saying that we felt truly at home would for sure not be an overstatement. I believe there is no need to add anything more about this. Location of the resort is excellent: right on the beach, a clean beach by the way (a plus for them, given what we have seen elsewhere). We enjoyed a lot the walks to the reef during low tide, celebrated with final unusual urchins meals: nice swimmings during high tide. Mnemba island, with some of the best snorkeling sites in Zanzibar, is just 30-40 minutes away. Finally, the resort: right size (not more than 20 rooms), nicely organized, simple but elegant architecture, sea view from all rooms, very nice 25 m swimming pool in the center (with separate lane for whoever wants to swim), massage facilities... and more. Our room was very spacious, pleasant, relaxing: and always extremely clean. Ask for Paradise Room if you go there :-) Restaurant is also a plus for this place, with possibility to eat at any time during the day: food was very good, mostly local (as it should be) but also with international cuisine options, great variety which allows to try different foods for the entire week.

Our stay at Haber Apartments was fantastic! One of the standout features was the large, beautiful pool, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The rooms were incredibly spacious—much bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Zanzibar, giving us plenty of room to unwind. The food was equally amazing, not just in taste but in presentation. Every meal was beautifully decorated and tasted just as great, adding a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The staff was another highlight—they were incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, and the service continued to impress us throughout our stay. We highly recommend Haber Apartments for anyone looking for comfort, space, and exceptional hospitality in Zanzibar in a beautiful scenery!

Owners are incredible and can help you book excursions or transportation anywhere you want to go. They helped us arrange 4 days worth of activities, and we'd decide the night before what we wanted to do the next day. They had great advice in what was worth seeing. Room was beautiful and great that they could accommodate three people in one room. Wifi was a little iffy and only available in the restaurant. But would absolutely recommend and plan to visit again.

    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.

    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!

    The lodge has an amazing view, nice swimming pool, friendly staff and managers, a joint diving center and yoga opportunities every weekdays. The food was also beyond our expectations. We have taken the honeymoon offer and it was well worth it: snorkeling, 3 course dinners, couple massage, airport transfer, also we booked the oceanview suite and the it’s stunning. They also have free shuttle bus to the sister-hotel’s private beach.

    This is an excellent little boutique hotell with a nice position in the end at Matemwe beach. It has a good size pool close to the beach. A neat restaurant and a cozy lounge section. The hotell is the perfect size, not to big nor to small. The rooms are very big and tidy and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. But what really stands out is the management and staff. Super friendly and helpful in a most genuine way.
