First of all i have to say that i didn’t look at the map while booking so i missed the fact that this guesthouse is not near any stores or restaurants. If I knew that maybe I wouldn’t book it and this would be a huge mistake! We loved this place sooooo much! We were lucky to be there all alone (me and my husband) without other guests and sometimes it really felt like home. Nice pool, nice beach, if you want anything to eat the amazing host Margaret has a menu of lunches and dinners and she is a great cook. This place is really for those who need some quiet private time. If you want to go for shopping and some other entertainment you can always ask for taxi to Nungwi. We did it once and then regretted cause this town was too busy and noisy we were happy to come back to Matumaini. Near the guesthouse there are couple of small zoos and also you can try several boat trips right from the guesthouse. Every day we had the nicest chats with Margaret and really enjoyed her company. All of the villa staff were very sweet. It broke my heart a little when we had to leave. Highly recommended, wonderful experience! Margaret we are happy to know you, miss you!

The room and the facilities are very comfortable. The breakfast is rich and delicious. The owner and his assistant, Viktor are exceptionally friendly and helpful in really everything. The biggest help was that Viktor arranged motorcycle taxi (boda-boda) every day to the beach. The price is 3.000. TSH. for one way. Thank you again Jusuf and Viktor for the cosy accomodation :)

First of all we owe a huge thanks to the management of the place, helping us retrieve our camera bag that we left in our taxi after a day trip. You can really count on these guys, that is for sure. The room was spectacular, all the materials used in this formal master bedroom was just marvellous. The ocean beach right in front of the place has the smoothest sand around, spent actual hours walking back and forth after sunset there. The restaurant/bar where we had our breakfast and dinner had the best food that we tried all over Zanzibar. The garden and the pool is regularly cleaned and maintaned as well. The accomodation is decorated very nicely with local accessories and furniture. All in all, we had a great time here :)

This is one of the best places I have stayed at. The room was great (we stayed in the new bungalows - highly recomend), the staff was super friendly and the place in general has a great vibe. We stayed there for a week, we were working remotely so we used their "digital nomads space". The interent worked pretty well 90% of the time. The restaurant had decent options and it wasn't pricy at all.

Clean and cozy accommodation with everything you need - both in the room (hot shower, A/C) and outside (spacious area, pool, sunbeds, and a sleeping net). Breakfast is served in the outdoor area, and the staff was amazing! The owner and staff had great connections, allowing us to book two trips at affordable prices, arrange an airport transfer, and organize transportation from the hotel to various locations, such as Kendwa Beach, and back. The owner also gave us excellent recommendations for the best beaches!

Our room was comfortable and good value for money, breakfast was the best, and Crazy Man is the best host ever, he offered so much and did everything to make our stay the best. Thank you for everything! :) We also liked the location, full of local eataries.

Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%
