A safe, beautiful place with the kindest people – come with good energy and enjoy every moment. 🌴✨
Pros:

I had a truly wonderful stay at Maisha Matamu Boutique. From the very first moment, I felt more than at home and completely safe.

The entire team is incredibly sweet and caring – from the security at the entrance, who always makes sure you are safe, to the housekeeping and kitchen staff. You can feel that everyone genuinely cares about the guests.

The breakfast is delicious, and the menu offers a great variety, so there is always something to enjoy.

The location is perfect – a beautiful place to relax, unwind and fully enjoy the surroundings.

Cons:

Nothing at all – everything was just lovely.

bien dans l'ensemble
Pros:

la chambre spacieuse , la beauté de l'extérieur , la gentillesse du personnels , la nourriture.

Cons:

Prévoyez bien 1h30 pour le petit déjeuné , tout es très lent .
Nous avions des excursions le matin donc même en prévenant et en étant les 1er au petit déjeuner nous avons attendu plus d'une heure pour 2 toast d'avocat ....
Un matin une cliente est même parti du restaurant sans déjeuner ça faisait 1h30 qu'elle attendait ....
La serveuse n'en n'a rien eu à faire .

Nous avions donné notre linge à lavé , 2 t-shirts ont été abîmés par des tâches qui ne partent pas ....
Nous avons du batailler à la fin du séjour pour ne pas payer la prestation ....

Paridise perfection
Pros:

The location was fantastic- right on the beach. The pool was always clean. The food was fantastically cooked and everything we sampled in our 7 day stay was delicious
We had not intended to stay in Paje as out 7 day stay in nungwi was supposed to end there but the war broke out and we could not return to our next destination in Dubai.
I didn’t want to stay at the last hotel for another 7 days and someone recommended here 🙏🥰. This stay turned a tragedy into a blessing and changed my impression of Zanzibar to a huge positive. Everyone so wonderful. And this is one of the very few holidays that I didn’t want to leave.

Cons:

Everything was perfect. At first we were worried about not having a Tv in the room but after a few days I never gave it a second thought 🤣

Escale Paje au pays des algues envahissantes
Pros:

La chambre 19 face à l’océan
Wifi et réseau absent uniquement raison sociaux et Netflix
Petit déjeuner de qualité et bien servi… les jus de fruits sont pas toujours extraordinaires
Personnel agréable et professionnel aussi bien les filles que les garçons
Un peu beaucoup loin de tout, les restaurants environnants sont pas à la hauteur de celui ci .
Sur la belle plage devant cet hôtel personne ne s’occupe de débarrasser les algues qui envahissent cet environnement et toute façon personne en règle générale ne s’occupe de traiter cette pollution moderne et c’est vraiment pas agréable.
Sur l’ensemble de l’île
Les tarifs pour la restauration sont le double que sur Nungwi
Pression d’eau à la bonne volonté du fournisseur idem pour électricité et surtout le soir pour la dernière évoqué.

Pros:

Von der ersten Sekunde an fühlten wir uns wie im Paradies. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle so unfassbar freundlich, so etwas ist wirklich einmalig und nicht selbstverständlich. Man konnte sich sofort entspannen und wohlfühlen. Das Zimmer war riesig und total liebevoll gestaltet. Die gesamte Anlage war ein tropisches Paradies und der private Strandbereich der schönste den wir gesehen haben. Die Lage war absolut perfekt. Wenn wir nochmal wiederkommen, dann auf jedenf all wieder hierher.

Bien
Pros:

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel.
Tout s’est bien passé, personnel, très gentil, décoration, réussie.

Cons:

Dommage que les chambres soient très proches chez des autres. Et que les petites terrasses privatives soit sur le passage principal avec beaucoup de passage.

Vi har jättenöjda, jättefint och mysigt hotell
Pros:

Vi hade barn i åldrarna 3 och 6 med oss. Det var perfekt att det var så nära från rummen till pool/strand. Maten var också jättebra på hotellet så det var väldigt bekvämt att hänga där hela dagarna.

Cons:

Det var dåligt vattentryck i dusch/kran.
Om man ska stanna längre än en vecka kanske man skulle vilja ha lite mer variation på frukosten.
