מבאס מאוד
Pros:

מיקום טוב, חדרים גדולים, צוות מצויין.

Cons:

נסענו לירח דבש ומעבר לצוות באמת מושלם לא מצאנו מה לאכול ולא הסתדרנו עם האוכל. (צורת ההגשה היא כמו במסעדה שיש תפריט ובוחרים מנות ולא בופה ולכן המזון מאוד מוגבל) לא היה זרימה של מים במקלחות והיה המון בעיות עם המזגן. הבריכה ממש קטנה לא מאפשרת שחייה מהנה כמו שצריך. נאלצנו לעבור מלון ולספוג את זה שאין החזר כספי אחרת היינו נשארים ללא אוכל כל השהייה.

Pros:

Boutique hotel molto consigliato, situato proprio sulla spiaggia a Paje.
Le camere sono pulite, molto ampie e confortevoli, dotate di amenities in bagno.
All’accoglienza abbiamo ricevuto anche un regalino di benvenuto, molto apprezzato.
Lo staff è molto gentile, sorridente e pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta.

Cons:

Purtroppo una notte abbiamo avuto difficoltà a dormire a causa del rumore creato dal generatore situato dietro la stanza.

Magique
Pros:

Tout était exceptionnel, de la localisation en passant par la gentillesse et la bienveillance du personnel !

Probablement le plus bel hôtel de la plage ! Les prix sont tout à fait honorable, avec des cocktails en happy our tous les soirs !

Un espace de massage y est présent avec un choix varié ainsi qu’une belle piscine à débordement avec de nombreux espaces de transat différents !

Pour finir la formule en pension semi complète offre une large variété de repas ! Avec des petits déjeuners très complets et délicieux et des dîners excellents !

Merci encore à toute l’équipe du Maisha Matamu Boutique pour cette semaine incroyable

Cons:

Tout était parfait !

A wonderful stay
Pros:

The location with direct access to the beach and very close to the center of Paje, the accommodation conditions at very high standards and last but not least the staff who work every day to make tourists feel very good.All outdoor spaces and the pool are well maintained and beautifully decorated, making stay at this accommodation very pleasant and relaxing.Considering the fact that we had a fairly long stay, I could observe some reactions of tourists who forget that they are in Africa, their demands often being exaggerated, their reactions based on the "I paid" principle....

Cons:

It is a recommendation for a more diverse menu at breakfast and at the bar where lunch and dinner can be served.

Ons verblijf was echt fantastisch!
Pros:

Ik ben vaak best kritisch als het gaat om service en vakantieverblijven. Maar mijn verblijf op Zanzibar was absoluut fantastisch! De service was werkelijk ongekend goed, met personeel dat niet alleen super vriendelijk maar ook oprecht was. Het eten was heerlijk, de locatie perfect en het hotel zelf overtrof alle verwachtingen. Zelfs de kamers waren uitstekend, alles werkte naar behoren. Ik heb enorm genoten en zou zonder twijfel terugkeren. Ik raad dit verblijf dan ook iedereen aan die richting Zanzibar komt!

Cons:

Ik ben geen verbeterpunten tegengekomen.

Pros:

Our stay at Maisha Matamu Boutique Hotel was truly exceptional. The hotel is beautiful, with spacious and tastefully decorated rooms that immediately make you feel at home. One of its most unique features is its direct connection to the beach, allowing you to enjoy the ocean just steps away from your room.
The hotel offers private sunbeds overlooking the sea, making it the perfect place to relax while taking in the stunning views. With only a limited number of rooms, the atmosphere is peaceful and intimate, and the service feels genuinely personal. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help.
The food was delicious throughout our stay, and the cocktails were of outstanding quality—some of the best we had during our trip. A special mention goes to the lodge manager, who was exceptionally warm and welcoming. She was always available for recommendations or assistance and genuinely enjoyed chatting with guests, adding a personal touch that made our stay even more memorable.
Breakfast is served overlooking the kitchen and the ocean, offering a wonderful view as the sea changes with the tides and local life slowly comes to life each morning. It’s a peaceful and unforgettable way to start the day.
The hotel is also ideally located close to many activities and excursions, making it a perfect destination for every type of traveler. Whether you’re looking to completely unwind on the beach or explore everything the area has to offer, Maisha Matamu Boutique Hotel is an excellent choice. We would happily stay here again.
