Zanzibar Queen Hotel in Matemwe

Me, my husband and some friends has just come home after a wonderful stay at Zanzibar queen hotel. For my husband and me it was the second time and I have to say we really love it. The hotel has a very high standard and the surroundings are very beautiful. Tre staff is really lovely and very helpful and the food has been excellent. I recommend everyone a stay at this hotel. Thank you for some wonderful days.

The hotel is like a little paradise—so green and cozy! When we arrived, the manager greeted us; she was thoughtful and helpful throughout our entire stay. The hotel offers yoga classes and bicycles for cycling. The spa is located in a beautiful spot, and the massage was very good. The food was great as well. The highlight was our New Year’s party with a live band followed by a DJ playing. They truly care about their guests. Thank you very much!

The accommodations are comfortable and impeccably maintained, and the location is perfect for exploring the area. The staff are consistently warm, professional, and attentive, making every guest feel welcome. The dining is outstanding, with every dish prepared and presented with great care. A special mention must go to Derek,the manager, whose dedication and genuine commitment to guest satisfaction are remarkable. He is always available to assist and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely amazing here. Beautiful area, beautifully decorated, helpful staff, clean and tidy, good food, everything! They especially helped us with a doctor when our daughter got sick, they were exceptional. No noise and activity, just some nice shows and entertainment for dinner in the evening. The family room was very spacious and good! Recommended!

A great boutique hotel, African-style rooms, excellent cuisine, very polite staff, sometimes Swahili evenings, live music, fantastic massages, yoga lessons, possibility to purchase attractions available on the island, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

What a lovely relaxed and peaceful hotel. We had a fantastic time. The rooms are large, clean and cool and the pools are a great size, lots of sun-beds and beautiful setting. It never felt busy. Not a beach fan myself but the kids loved it (I agree with others that the people trying to sell you stuff are annoying but that’s not the hotels fault). The hotel has different free things every day - reef walks, village walks, scuba experience (in the pool), free Henna - great if you want to do something a bit different and they change each day. We did two paid for trips (snorkelling with dolphins and the horse beach safari). Both really great value and knowledgeable guides. The staff are all so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much. The food is great. We were half board and there was loads of choice at breakfast and the evening meals were so fresh and tasty (and always four starters and four mains to choose from) as well as the fantastic pizza (which is always available)! We also enjoyed the three buffet/bbq days we had that happen each week! The lunch menu is varied and the same great quality. I had a very nice deep tissue massage overlooking the sea. Great value. There is a gym - weights only and very small but perfectly functional! I didn’t want to leave. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone. A great choice.

Beautiful hotel. Located close the beach. Lovely cuisine on menu catering for all tastes. Overall nice hotel. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay, the staff always help you with everything. The food is not amazing but is not bad. The only proble is the access to the property, there is no signs and it was really difficult to find the place.

Perfekt hotel at Zanzibar The hotels atmosphere is very cozy - the roof gives a unique look. The room is cleaned in the morning and bed + mosquito net + bathroom is made every night. The hotel tries it best to save the amount of used plastic bottles - there is refill stations placed around the hotel - we like this gesture. All staff members are very polite and smiling. The managers are very visible and follow up with guest on a frequent basis - we found that nice. We arrived March 16 to an amazing barbecue and entertainment. Few days after was a buffet with local food. Several nights entertainment. The other evenings the menues changed - we could every day choose between 4 starters, 4 main courses and 2 desserts. We stayed here for 11 days and the food was amazing - the best we had for 11 days in a row. The breakfast buffet is very big and very well sorted plus omelets etc were made in the breakfast area. We had half board on our stay and as it was very sunny we had very little interest in a big lunch - so we only had very little for lunch. Furthere more we do not drink so much alcohol so we did not upgrade to all-inclusive (50$ per day per person). The hotel offers different sightseeing tours however several of them is a lot cheaper if you book in the "boat" house on the beach. The beach also has sunbeds but we used the ones around the pool as shades possibilities were better here. The ocean was very hot and eventhough there off cause was seaweed in the ocean we enjoyed it. We very much recommend this hotel and if we ever return to Zanzibar we will be back.

If you are choosing a place to enjoy your holidays, getting away from crowd and enjoy peaceful moments, it’s definitely a right place for you.

Hotel staff is very nice and helpful.

Food in hotel restaurant is excellent, they offer different menu for lunch and dinner. Verify options for breakfast buffet, you will never feel bored for their food.

Hotel offers yoga class on the morning daily except Sunday. Family or solo can also start with a “ Good morning “. There is a swimming pool, small gym room, different ball games for visitors to chill.

Hotel is also connected with different Partners, no need to worry about the day trip prior arrival. They can plan everything for you including stone town visit, prison island , snorkelling.

We just enjoy our time during our stay.
