Zoi Retreat Hotel Zanzibar - Matemwe (Zanzibar)

The delicious avocado mango shrimp salad was a standout dish, showcasing the hotel's commitment to high-quality cuisine.

The internet connection was quite unreliable , challenging to stay connected when needed.

It was trip and we would like to go back here again. Enjoyed to be here, the hotel was clean and relaxing, the location was great in the restaurant The staff will take such good care of you. Location: the venue was near to the beach for '' jumping '' on tourists for offering anything for sale and the north east of the island.

The staff are very hospitable and competent, managed the parking on site.

Really good hospitality from the thoughtful team.

I found the low tide frustrating for swimming, and the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable. It really put a damper on my plans, as I wanted to be more connected . The constant presence of flies in my room was bothersome, detracting from what could have been a more enjoyable experience.

great staff but room could use updates

The staff were friendly and helpful, even arranging for my bag to be sent to Nungwi. The quiet atmosphere was relaxing, with no outside vendors interrupting our peace. I loved the beachfront location, along with the comfortable garden view room.

Staying here provided an very nice experience, with fine views from the sea view room's private balcony, perfect for relaxation. The food surpassed expectations-particularly the daily lunch specials with fresh, flavorful dishes. The Wi-Fi connection occasionally faltered, impacting my ability to stay connected, and a constant presence of insects around the dining area detracted from the otherwise charming atmosphere.

a sanctuary of warmth with personalized service and refreshing drinks at sunset

The Zanzibar Retreat is a gem! Each room was like a cozy retreat with picturesque views. The good afternoon coffee and cake. Highly recommend.

The place feels like a private villa, with a friendly vibe. We enjoyed swimming, relaxing walks on the beach, and even a bike ride to Tamani Learning Centre. The staff helps plan fun activities too, like guided walks and reef explorations.

The only downside was that my friend's AC didn't work well , a bit uncomfortable sometimes.

It was just a great fit for a short layover in Matemwe with fantastic value. I loved the snorkeling trip arranged by the owner, a highlight of my stay. Make sure to enjoy the delicious meals offered at the hotel.

Just a solid selection for a brief visit in Matemwe with really good value. The welcome from the staff made us feel right at home immediately. Make sure to enjoy the views from the balcony!

This hotel is nice, and has everything I need like Wi-Fi, an outdoor swimming pool, and 24-hour security. The staff even helped me print documents on my first stay. I recommend trying the delicious food!

tranquil getaway with perfect food and refreshing beach vibes

friendly atmosphere, delicious meals

spotty room maintenance

Our family just enjoyed an amazing 3-night stay! The dining experience was very nice. every meal was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, especially the avocado mango shrimp salad. The pool was relaxing and perfect for our kids after a day exploring. be prepared for the low tide, which made swimming tricky at times, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We’d definitely return!

I had a wonderful stay at a small boutique hotel right on the beach. the owners, Jan and Salome, were welcoming and attentive to every detail. the staff was friendly and helpful, and the service exceeded my expectations. the hotel had a beautiful pool and clean, spacious rooms with all the necessary amenities. the highlight for me was the delicious food, with a variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Zanzibar Retreat provided a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend it. Cons: Can't fault the property in any way. 😊.

The location was in a really quiet area. the staff were competent and efficient, couldn't ask for more. - the breakfasts were great with fresh fruit. - the location was absolutely gorgeous and exceptionally nice.
