If you value your life and safety don't stay here! We planned to stay 3 nights but after such a terrible experience left after 2 nights. The management is the worst i have experienced with the manager Abdul always drunk or having a severe hang over. He is rude not only to the guests but is a bully to the... More

We stayed 2 nights in Nyota because the rest of Matemwe was fully booked. The hotel is not that bad, the room with sea view was OK. What we found terrible was the management and the staff working there. They don't care for the guests,you see every day different persons hanging around and you never know who is in charge.... More

I stayed in Nyota 4 nights in July with two other friends. We arrived from Kendwa which is a much more buzy place. The beach in Matemwe is really beautiful, and the atmosphere in Nyota is very special! It is very very easy to relax there. It is a small place built in a local Zanzibarian beach style. Perfect for... More

Stayed here 5 nights in Feb 2011. We were offered a 50% discount by management for an "extended stay", which we were required to pay up front in cash (they accept Tanzanian shillings or USD). Overall, found the place to be quiet/peaceful (minus the PA call to prayer at 5-6 am, as mentioned by an earlier reviewer) and set on... More

Stayed her in October with my wife for almost two weeks and had a fantastic time. The staff and manager Abdul were very helpful and friendly and really made our stay nice. The food and cocktails were above par and i would recommend the sea food as it was fresh with great sauces. Lots of fun daily activities including snokeling... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in January 2011. The room was pleasant, but low wattage bulbs mean it is impossible to see your possessions after dark. There was no water pressure in the room, as a result the taps on the wash basin did not work, I asked about this and instead of an honest 'we have no water... More

The management at this place is a joke. After having booked two rooms from the UK and spoken to the owner several times on the phone, we arrived after a very long and tiring journey only to be told that they had double booked!!! No apologies, no help to find somewhere else....just a big F*** Y** Cheers for that Nyota....wouldn't... More

I ended a six week stay in Tanzania with a few nights at Nyota. The location is secluded and quiet and affords one a chance to be truly away from typical tourist hustle and bustle. I absolutely adored the small, rustic quality of the place and spend my time watching locals harvest seaweed in the shallows. If you're looking for... More

We spent 4 days in nyota after climbing Kilimanjaro. We were looking for a cool place to chill along the beach. Nyota has everything required for people searching a cool atmosphere and a wonderful beach. We stayed on a sea view room which was elegant, comfortable and very clean. The beach was stunning with clean white sand and we enjoyed... More
