Featuring free WiFi, Mohammed Bungalows and Restuarant offers accommodation in Matemwe, 38 km from Zanzibar City. The guest house has a sun terrace and a private beach area, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar.

Everything about Mohammed Bungalows was great. Location in the wonderful setting of Matemwe right on the beach, room which was specious and had everything we needed, vicinity to scuba diving sites and water based activities such as paddling and snorkelling. But most of all the staff and Mohammed’s family who were so welcoming and made us feel really at home. Not to mention that Mohammed is a fantastic cook and the meals we had were superb. We loved everything about our stay and highly recommended.

    Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%

    This is a beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff is very friendly. The beach setting and the rooms are beautiful but the best is the food. We had half board and there were always delicious choices on the menu board. It's not the cheapest place but the food is fresh, nicely spiced, altogether the best food we have had during our stay in Tanzania. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Its also a good choice if want to be close to the dive schools. They provide free pick up from the hotel.

    The location was amazing, right by a quiet beach, not too many tourists. The breakfast was really good! The beds by the beach to relax during the day. The house is very charming. A hidden gem !
