We really liked the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Everything was in place and worked perfectly – air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi.The staff was really helpful - you can see that they care. The food in the restaurant was tasty, with portions just right. The beach is wide and clean – perfect for walks and relaxing. The area is quiet, ideal for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, it's definitely worth coming here!

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the beautiful Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq in Zanzibar, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. The hotel is just one year old, and you can tell – everything is modern, stylish, and designed with great attention to detail. The spacious pool (25x15 m), surrounded by numerous palm trees, is a highlight of the property. It was a delight to cool off here during the day or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility. The culinary offerings were equally impressive. The selection of food and drinks was excellent, and the quality left nothing to be desired. We also appreciated that the staff spoke very good English, which made communication smooth and ensured we felt well taken care of at all times. A special thanks to the hotel owners, Tomek and Malgo. Their presence and attentiveness were exceptional – they regularly checked in to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. You can tell they genuinely care about the well-being of their guests. The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. It is situated directly on the northeastern Matemwe Beach, a beautiful and relatively quiet stretch of coastline, ideal for long walks or simply enjoying the sea breeze. In summary, our stay at Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq was great. We felt completely at ease and would recommend this little paradise to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

I am very satisfied with my stay! The flats are located in a very good location. There are many different facilities (e.g. a very large swimming pool). The room I had was large, clean and very comfortable. I must also thank the owners and the staff who took care of everything perfectly. They helped me in every situation. Thanks to you, my trip was very successful.

Pefectly located right next to the beach. Probably the best butique hotel in that area of Zanzibar. Calm, tranquil, very private atmosphere. Place to hide from crowds although relatively close to all you need. Very luxury with local taste. Well managed. Great polite staff and good restaurants.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

    Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

    Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

    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.

    We only have positive experiences from Hebe Bugalow Lodge. We are a family of 4 who spent 6 nights in Zanzibar. The hotel has the best staff. They are kind, honest, helpful, and always friendly. Additionally, they serve delicious and fresh breakfast. The area is especially great because you get to experience the local community and it is not overrun with tourists. The owner, Peter, is ready to greet guests upon arrival.

    Matemwe beach is one of the top beaches in Zanzibar, white sand and a lot of colored little boats on the shoreline. The place is quiet and relaxing, the bar/restaurant sourronded by beautiful plants and trees. This sounds authentical african. Two steps from the restaurant and you are on the beach. This is really worth.
