Great Hotel with nice little Bungalows, very clean, comfortable bed with and modern bathroom. It’s directly at the beach , which is amazing.The garden and plants are very groomed and the pool is great for relaxing. The beach bar offers nice drinks and good food also at the upstairs sitting area at which you have an incredible sea view.Breakfast is very delicious. The new owner are very nice and helpful and the staff is so nice and friendly.It’s only 10 min. walking distance from the Paje city center.We felt very comfortable and safe.I can highly recommend the hotel.

Everything was great - the rooms, the location, the atmosphere. Lots of staff to ensure everything is running smoothly and there's always someone available if you need anything. Everyone was professional, attentive, friendly but not intrusive at all. Perfect place for a beach holiday for a reasonable price, couldn't have asked for more.
There was nothing I didn't like.

neat surroundings of the hotel, clean rooms, swimming pool, by the sea, deckchairs by the pool and the beach, delicious and tasty breakfast.
the staff in the restaurant did not have change to return when buying drinks, food, and they simply did not return the money for every purchase if you did not have it exactly (a couple of purchases over USD 50...)

Breakfast was OK. Location is good as you can walk to most of the beach bars and other places. There is a supermarket 5 minutes away. They have a massage on the beach, which was nice. We stayed in the room with air-conditioning. Cleanliness was good, they spray for mosquitoes everyday.
They charge everything to the room so during checkout there was some mixup with the bills. I would suggest paying whatever you order straight away, and you should be fine.

The location and the staff. We felt very welcome there. The character of the hotel is amazing. You can feel that you're in Africa not in a European hotel. The feel is great and the afrobeats played from the bar give that extra special feeling. We would definitely come back there.
Breakfast could have a continental option ( yoghurt, cornflakes etc)

We stayed in Maisha Matamu, and I would be happy to return there. It definitely was a good choice. We loved hospitality and kindness, and all staff were very young and energetic. They are very polite and helpful. The beach is beautiful and well maintained. We travelled with 5y old kids, and it means a lot when security gards are watching, as he was constantly in and out of water and rooming around, for me means a lot that they kept they eyes on him. *Beach lounge- is very nice, relaxing and clean. It's designed with love and had good vibes. We loved the terrace-restaurant upstairs- it has wonderful views, and it's also well designed, loved plain wood, and natural materials. *Kitchen staff- (Hassan) and chefs were excellent. They were very supportive, and they prepared food very, very well. They had consistency, and the food was fresh and delicious. The prices are really decent. *Housekeeping- all were great, I really appreciate the lady who was cleaning our room (101) with short hair and boy who was also in the morning shift, they were fast and always singing:-) *Bar and other staff- very friendly, Mr. G or GE, nlt sure of spelling, young girls Melisa and Felista, also PM shift all team of PM shift (Rosy and all the rest) are superheroes of Maisha Matamu. *We were happy to meet the owners, and they were extremely kind, humble, and sweet people. My husband was celebrating his Bday and they all joined and supported the celebration. The owners are very helpful, and they show care and good human touch to all. Relly loved seeing them enjoying with their staff. I would recommend this facility to everyone, and we would be back as we loved the place totally ❤️
Nothing to put on negative side. Everything was good. Maybe, just suggesting to add AC units to bungalows as well.

The staff were super friendly , the breakfast was good those potatoes they make the best ! The location is good and the views .
I didn’t like that you can hear people walking up and down in the room I was in . It was a bit much as we had people who were constantly walking around hard from 5 am till 7 am . If I had to book here again ild probably book the single story rooms . They need to change the top room floors so people can’t hear at the bottom . Also I feel most places provide water and not even water was offered during breakfast, so if they could include giving people water as well .As we had to buy water each day . Then also clean towels each day , as well as a place that one can put their toiletries to do makeup or something , Like a desk would be nice .

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this place for 13 days and we could not be more happy. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here and the food was amazing. The cook also came from the kitchen and talked with us and wanted to make us anything we would like. Every single employee here is really frendly and they are trying to make your stay pleasant. The room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed every day. You could also ask for beach towels. They are also cleaning the pool every day. The beach is just a few steps from your rooms. From the dining area you have a beautiful view of the beach and the ocean. Could not be happier with how close everything was. The hotel is really beautiful and you have a feeling like you are in heaven. They make sure everything is in place. Flowers are beautiful. They are upgrading the hotel every day. One day they are painting walls, other day they are writing some cute menus on the walls. They are trying to make everything even more good and prettier. We were really happy here and if I came back, I would defenetly stay here!!
