Amazing stay for a quite and relaxing week. The food is outstanding, they have a daily selection and we found it delicious every day : so fresh and full of taste. The hotel is so quite, different relaxing areas, very well equipated. The view is beautiful and you can enjoy either the pool side or beach side. The staff is incredibly nice, always smiling and full of attention. But just enough to let you relax. We spent a perfect week there enjoying the hotel and all the things you can do around. Special mention for the massages with Elisabeth staff and the excursions with Hadji, Madiba tours.

At the tail end of a long trip to East Africa, the Zanzabar Retreat hotel was a GIFT: exceptional hospitality from the owners, Jan and Salome, and from the excellent and thoughtful team… Naima, Lusekelo, Newton, Aisha and Bwite. Great food and many thoughtful touches. Very charming setting and convenient to diving snorkeling and dining options along a magnificent beach.

This was the best little hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time. The food was amazing. Rooms were clean and the staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. They also arranged excursions and taxis me. I’ll be back :)

I've stayed at Zanzibar Retreat multiple times, and it remains my top choice in Matemwe! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel truly welcome. The food is outstanding—always fresh, and you can tell it's made with love. They offer a daily special, which is always a treat. My room was spacious, with everything in perfect working order, from the air conditioning to the hot shower. It was beautifully decorated, adding to the cozy ambiance. This year, they've done an amazing job with the garden, creating a lovely pathway that adds so much charm to the property. If you're looking for a place to relax and be well taken care of, I highly recommend Zanzibar Retreat.

Bellissima struttura, in posizione fronte mare ottimale. Personale della struttura cordiale , colazione e cucina fantastica. Così come i cocktail che ho avuto modo di provare, camere pulite e carine. Per la mia famiglia il miglior soggiorno fatto in Tanzania. Consigliatissimo

This was my first hotel in Zanzibar and I would return in heartbeat to stay longer. The aesthetic was relaxing, the owners were present and enjoyable to visit with. The food was DELICIOUS!! It was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable.
The waters are somewhat shallow on the beach in the morning and then rise as the day continues. Be sure and wear water sandals or footwear with a hard sole. There are many prickly urchins around. There are also spots where there are not and it makes for a great area to swim and cool off. The sands are clean and WHITE!
I loved it here and I know you will, too!

We were totally exhausted from ten hour Jeep drives across and around the Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. It was just what we needed. Very relaxed and personable vibe provided by Jan and his staff. Straight to the beach from the hotel with sunhats and towels provided in a cute little bag. Drinks and food service also provided on the beach and by the pool. Staff were very polite and Accommodating and were always smiling. A perfect little paradise to end our trip to Africa
