I highly recommend this place for a holiday. It's not commercial, it's not busy—you can feel like you've gone to visit your family in Africa. It's a great location as well, with everything close by. Mallum Cave (a natural, unique, and beautiful swimming pool) is just within walking distance. I visited Stone Town and Jozani Forest—you can get there for about 50 dollars on a return trip. The hotel organised the other trips too, for example, the Safari. Back at the hotel, from the first steps into the reception, the staff were lovely and very helpful, speaking many languages, including English. Happiness and Hussain are so genuinely nice that I immediately fell in love with the place. I came with my teenage daughter and stayed for 11 nights (unfortunately, just 11) in one of the huts. We were over the moon. The room was clean, and the character of the space matched perfectly with the land's beauty. You can see the ocean from the cosy house. Every evening, the mosquito man—another lovely housekeeper, Baboo or Yolanda—would clean and protect our room from mosquitoes. By the way, we never got bitten. The hotel restaurant is just stunning, with modern, rustic decor that blends perfectly with the natural environment. The swimming pool may be small, but it’s sufficient when you have such a massive, stunning white sand beach. The owners—Zue, Keisy, and Meyra—are excellent, well-spoken in many languages, and always very helpful with everything you need.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
I had a very unpleasant stay at Maisha Matamu. I booked for 11 nights but ended up staying 6 due to multiple issues. Upon arrival, I was told there was a system issue and that another guest with my surname refused to vacate my room. I was moved to a nearby hostel, which was significantly cheaper, but lacked Wi-Fi, phone signal, towels and even water at times. As a solo female traveler, I felt uncomfortable there. Later, I spoke to the other guest, who confirmed she had booked and paid in advance, exposing that the story I was told wasn’t true. Despite having booked and paid in full months ago, I had to argue for a refund for the nights I stayed at the cheaper hostel. Only after arguing did they refund me for 2 nights. Throughout this ordeal, they made several rude comments and even lied at several occasions, which added to my discomfort. This was particularly disappointing, as I’ve been traveling solo for many months and have stayed in numerous hotels without ever experiencing anything like this. I ended up checking out 3 nights early because I felt so uncomfortable. No apology or concern was ever shown until I told them I was checking out earlier. The only bright spot was the fantastic staff at the restaurant and bar—much love to them, as they were the reason I stayed as long as I did.
