Best value and very welcoming accommodation.
Pros:

The staff is so welcoming and the value of this place is incredible! The breakfast is really good and the rooms are large and clean. Great place to stay that is close to the beach, quite, and close to a dive shop.

Parfait, une détente assurée 🙏☀️
Pros:

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil des employés, la cuisine, et bien entendu le cadre avec la piscine incroyable 😍. Et le calme également car c'était le fin de notre séjour.

Cons:

Les magasins étaient malheureusement trop éloignés pas trop de choix pour finir nos achats et c'était plus élevé que ce que nous avons vu à Pajé.

Bien pour une ou deux nuits
Pros:

L’emplacement tout proche de la plage et du village, la piscine

Cons:

Le ménage n’a pas été fait dans la chambre durant le séjour
La demi-pension ne vaut pas le coup il vaut mieux prendre les repas à l’extérieur

Pros:

Nous avons aime la piscine très belle, la gentillesse du personnel. Les plats sont bons, l’emplacement de Sunny villa a Matemwe est bien juste à coter de la plage mais c’est plutot la ville de Matemwe que je recommande pas forcément à faire.

Cons:

La plomberie est catastrophique, le restaurant le personnel est très gentil mais chaque plat arrive avec plus d’une heure d’attente alors qu’il y’a à peine 8 chambres à servir et les 8 chambres était pas toutes occupés. Les coupures de courant sont répétitives tous les jours et plusieurs fois par jours. Le frigo de la chambre ne marchait pas et la porte des toilettes, et la porte d’entrée de la chambre sont très compliqués à fermer. L’hôtel était un des moins cher mais ça reste un certain prix, la qualité du service doit suivre. La ville de Matemwe pratique pour l’excursion de mnemba mais sinon je ne recommande pas cette ville.

The only thing we didn’t like was the bathroom door because it was so hard to close

Pros:

El hospedaje es bonito

Cons:

No limpian las habitaciones a diario. Nuestra basura estaba hasta arriba y aunque las toallas no se cambien a diario al menos limpiar y hacer las camas deberían de hacerlo. Se fue la luz un par de veces

Management bemüht, aber noch Potential nach oben.
Pros:

Management sehr bemüht wenn etwas nicht funktionierte und sehr hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Kommunikation durchs Personal teilweise nicht so gut, wir warteten (obwohl wir 3 Stunden im Voraus das Essen für 19 Uhr bestellt hatten) über eine Stunde auf das Essen - weil der Pizzateig noch gemacht / besorgt werden musste. Das hätte man einfach sagen sollen, dann hätten wir etwas anderes bestellt.
Oder an einen Morgen wurden wir um 7:15h abgeholt, ich bat darum, dass wir direkt um 7 Uhr frühstücken können und bestellte alles bereits abends vor, als wir morgens kamen tauchte um 7:10 jemand auf um unsere Bestellung anzunehmen.
Also gingen wir ohne Frühstück…

Heerlijk rustig en relaxed verblijf op prachtige plek!
Pros:

Het is een heerlijk hotel! Het is kleinschalig en voelt daarom erg veilig en vertrouwd. De kamers zijn heel ruim en licht. De medewerkers zijn superlief en werken hard. En het eten… Zooo lekker!! Elke dag genoeg keuze en alles vers bereid.
Binnen een minuut lopen sta je op een prachtig strand, maar als je scooters wil huren kunnen ze hier ook mee helpen.

Really wonderful stay at Sunny Villa, would highly recommend.
Pros:

This place is 100m from the beach, near to a small village with shops and some excellent bars and restaurants along the beach in both directions. Sameer is an excellent host who goes the extra mile to look after his clients. Any small problem gets fixed immediately and the whole staff team is professional and welcoming. The apartment was huge and beautifully decorated.

Pleasant stay but lacking a few essentials
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food on offer was tasty. The generator kicks in immediately when there is a power outage. The villa is a minute's walk to the beach. There is a masjid close by. You can catch a boat to Mnemba Island and the adjacent snorkeling area from the beach outside the villa. The beach outside the villa is quiet and less touristy. The villa, pool area and rooms match the pictures.

Cons:

At this price point, there was a lack of many amenities such as a safe, kettle, hair dryer and TV in the room. The bathroom showerhead was broken. The geyser has sufficient hot water for one shower only and then needs to warm up for the next person. The mattress was very thin and lacked a duvet. Breakfast options were limited and we were only allowed to order one item from the menu. For dinner, drinks were not included and had to be purchased separately. There was no seating area and umbrellas on the beach. We could only swim in the ocean during high tide as there was a tremendous amount of sea urchins in the water outside the villa.

Bellissima struttura, ma necessario migliorare il servizio.
Pros:

La struttura è molto bella, a due passi dal mare e in una zona molto tranquilla rispetto a quelle più caotiche del Nord, perfetta per dei giorni di assoluto riposo e per fare delle lunghe passeggiate sulla spiaggia. Le camere e il bagno sono molto spaziosi e ordinate e la piscina è veramente una chicca che rimanendo illuminata anche di sera rende l’ambiente molto suggestivo.
Carina l’idea della serata Swahili che è molto tipica nel cibo, noi abbiamo provato la versione del mercoledì a base di carne ed è risultata molto buona.
Ottimo lavoro da parte del manager, del ragazzo addetto alla piscina che la rende ogni mattina perfetta e dello chef che cucina molto bene i piatti proposti dal menù.

Cons:

I servizi ordinari offerti devono migliorare perché questo hotel ha un grande potenziale inespresso, ma anche un prezzo sopra la media che dovrebbe garantire un’attenzione maggiore.
Il manager è una persona super attenta e interessata al benessere degli ospiti, ci ha sempre aiutato e chiesto come stavamo nei giorni in cui lo abbiamo incrociato.
Non essendo sempre presente, però la gestione ordinaria della struttura è affidata ad alcune ragazze che non sembrano avere particolare voglia e attenzione verso il cliente. La camera non sempre ci veniva chiesto se volevamo che venisse sistemata. Abbiamo avuto spesso l’impressione che mangiare al ristorante fosse un ‘peso’, soprattutto a pranzo, e le ragazze stavano spesso a guardare la televisione presente nella sala da pranzo anche durante il servizio.
La colazione non è particolarmente ricca e dovrebbe essere trovata una soluzione per le troppe api che ronzano sul cibo e anche li vi è una certa disattenzione spesso dimenticando parte di ciò che dovesse essere servito, come per due volte è capitato col frullato di frutta.
Quando abbiamo organizzato un’escursione ci siamo alzati apposta alle ore 7 per poter far colazione visto che il nostro transfer sarebbe partito alle 8. Abbiamo atteso fino alle 7:40 prima che ci venisse chiesto cosa volessimo, e purtroppo abbiamo dovuto rinunciare per mancanza di tempo. L’ultimo giorno, avendo prenotato un transfer per l’aeroporto mi sono voluto sincerare che fosse confermato e una delle ragazze mi ha risposto ‘boh’ che è tutto fuorché una risposta professionale, poi con una telefonata al manager la questione si è risolta prontamente.
È un grande peccato, alcune persone dello staff devono cambiare atteggiamento per garantire alla struttura la crescita che merita.
