    There were a safe box, a fridge, and tea and coffee making facilities in the room, appreciated that. The location was marvellous and stunning - within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.

    The rooms were very clean and had a large balcony, the staff were friendly and the location was perfect, just a short walk to beautiful white sandy beaches and the island of Zanzibar.

    The close proximity to the beach was wonderful, and it was convenient to walk to the city center within about a 10-15 minute walk from here.

    Our stay at Marafiki Beach Hotel was an excellent value for the money. The room was cozy and waking up to the beach view and sound of the waves was amazing. The location was perfect, right on the beach, and the staff treated us with such kindness and friendliness.

    The breakfast menu could have had more options for those with dietary restrictions, like gluten-free and vegan.

    The setting of Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa in Matemwe is exceptionally nice and unbeatable. It is located in a relaxing area next to an amazing white and clean beach. the restaurant and all the workers were great. the proximity to Mnemba Island was a bonus. I had a totally pleasant 4-night stay at the hotel.

    The private bathrooms are great with a shower and free toiletries. It feels refreshing and convenient. This double room with a private entrance, air conditioning, and tea/coffee maker is perfect for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The triple room is impressive with its air conditioning, beautiful view, and electric kettle. It's just what you need for a relaxing vacation. I loved the balcony in the double room. It's a lovely spot to enjoy the view and relax. The sea view from the double room is breathtaking. Waking up to that every morning is a dream come true. All the rooms are equipped with an air conditioner, which keeps the temperature comfortable throughout the day. Having a terrace in all rooms is a great addition. It's a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. The suite's tile/marble floor adds a touch of elegance. It enhances the overall ambiance of the room.

    Personally, I found the tile/marble floor in the suite a bit slippery. However, it might not be a concern for everyone.

    What an amazing Xmas experience! The hotel was a hidden gem with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a stunning view of the beach. Waking up to the sound of waves was blissful. The a la carte breakfast menu was a highlight, offering delicious options. The location was perfect, away from crowds and touts, providing a peaceful and relaxing ambiance. Plus, the hotel provided free kayaks to explore the crystal clear waters. Definitely a place to return to!

    One small hiccup was that the cleaning crew sometimes forgot to lock our room after cleaning. However, it didn't affect our overall stay and experience.

    We had a blast riding the complimentary kayaks and bicycles on the beach. It was so much fun exploring the shoreline and discovering hidden spots. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making our adventure even more enjoyable. We felt like true adventurers and had the best time ever!

    The only thing we wished for was a better nightlife scene for young party-goers. It would have been epic to have some fun parties or live music events at the hotel.

    I can't believe the value for money and how amazing the room was at this hidden gem. The location was perfect, with a gorgeous beach just a few meters away. The staff made our stay extra special, always friendly and attentive.

    More variety in the breakfast offerings would have made it even better.

    We had so much fun with the complimentary kayaks and bicycles. We rode the bikes along the beach, exploring the village and enjoying the beautiful scenery. And when the tide was low, we hopped on the kayaks and paddled around, feeling like true adventurers. It was such a cool experience!

    The only thing we wished for was a better nightlife scene. As young party-goers, we were looking for some fun and vibrant places to hang out in the evenings.

    A lovely hotel with a bar, a pool, and a beautiful garden. The staff is friendly and always available. The food is delicious at the on-site restaurant. The beach is stunning and perfect for water sports. The private entrance of the villa is a nice touch.

    Oh, I just loved everything about this place. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

    Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer und bietet eine herrliche Aussicht von den Zimmern aus. Die Zimmer selbst sind sehr sauber und komfortabel, mit renovierten Badezimmern und bequemen Betten. Das Personal ist freundlich und der Service ist zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück im Restaurant ist genial und bietet eine große Auswahl. Im Allgemeinen können Hunde mitgebracht werden, was ideal für Reisende mit Haustieren ist. Das Hotel verfügt außerdem über Parkplätze direkt am Hotel.
