We loved the experience of staying in a boutique hotel - it truly felt like home after a few days! You leave your room and you reach the pool, the beach, and the restaurant in less than a minute. The rooms are comfy, clean, and nicely decorated. The pool is quite small, but serves the purpose. The location is ideal for a holiday by the sea, whereas all major day trips require at least a 75-minute drive from the hotel. On the other hand, Mnemba Island is just opposite the hotel. The staff are nice and always ready to offer a smile!

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Everything was perfectly organized and the staff was extremely kind, helpful and always ready to assist whenever needed. I truly felt at home.

This place offers pure relaxation, a perfect detox, and a great opportunity to explore and learn about the rich local culture, which is truly fascinating. Asante to all the staff for the warm and genuine hospitality!

I stayed at Infinity with my parents in May. Tomek and Malgo, and the whole team created a wonderful experience with us. The room was not huge, but the layout was carefully crafted to use the space efficiently. Plus there is a wonderful pool outside the room and a nice restaurant with sea view. During my stay, I unfortunately fell of a horse and injured myself. Tomek was really helpful in both helping me connecting with a clinic to get the care I need. The bed was also super comfortable and supportive to help me heal.(some hotel has horrible single bed mattress but Infinity used a mattress with great quality for the single bed in the triple room) At the end of my trip, when I need to find a driver to drive my family back in the my rental car, Tomek was kind enough to offer to drive us back himself. He shared many his insights on the island along the way and I would not have enjoyed my trip without him. I would highly recommend this place for people looking for both the quality of stay and reasonable budget in Zanzibar.

    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.

    Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

    Since Matemwe is heavily influences by the tide, a pool at the hotel is crucial on the east side of Zanzibar. This hotel has a pool right by the beach. Staff is kind and rooms are comfy with good ac. Each evening the staff goes through the rooms spraying mosquito repellent which is a very nice touch. Restaurant prices are good for this area of Zanzibar. Close to Mnemba island and Dolphin snorkeling to make tours for scuba diving and snorkeling. Located on a very nice beach but beware the beach boys selling stuff there are very persistant.

    It was not the first time in Zanzibar and in this lovely hotel, and it always turns out to be the best choice from many perspectives. I should stay in another hotel for a couple of days (Sunbay was fully booked, which I can totally understand :)), but after 2 days they called me that if I prefer to go back, there is a room for me. I absolutely agreed to come back, it was also a nice experience. Thank you!

    We love this place. Firstly, Matemwe is a relatively quiet spot and the lodge opens up to the beach. You can spend all day just watching life happen or go for a swim/snorkel at high tide or get on a boat to snorkel further out beyond the reef. Secondly the space is comfortable and clean. The staff and the owner are also fantastic…friendly and attentive. The buffet breakfast is great too.

Amazing white beach in front of you with the magical sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean makes it a paradise and a must-stay when you are on the beautiful island of Zanzibar
