Great, relaxing venue.

This a great hotel, suitable for those on a budget. It is really laidback and peaceful and great for anyone looking to get away from the stresses of everyday life. This is the second time my husband and I have used this hotel and since our last visit there is a welcoming new reception area. The rooms are clean and spacious. Would recommend this hotel to others.

Confort senza fronzoli, relax e tranquillità!

The Seles Hotel a Matemwe è una struttura direttamente sulla spiaggia composta da Lodge/Bungalow molto confortevoli. Matemwe è una località molto tranquilla e ancora un po' lontana dal turismo di massa, quindi se cercate relax e tranquillità é il posto giusto! Il personale della struttura è molto gentile e disponibile, i responsabili faranno sempre in modo di accogliere le vostre richieste. La colazione è buona e abbondante. Un'esperienza per chi vuole una vacanza all'insegna della tranquillità letteralmente con "i piedi nella sabbia" dal mattino alla sera. La consiglio sicuramente e grazie per averci ospitato!

Gutes Preis -Leistungs -Verhältnis

Es war unser 2. Hotel in das wir in diesem Urlaub eingecheckt haben. Im Vergleich zu den umliegenden ist es etwas einfacher gehalten. Die Anlage besteht aus zwei Bereichen. Im ersten befinden sich Rezeption, Bar, Restaurant, ein kleiner Pool und die Bungalows. Da fast immer Musik läuft meines Erachtens eher etwas für junge Leute. Außerdem wird hier das Frühstück a la carte angeboten. Der zweite Bereich liegt etwas weiter hinten seitlich und hat einen eigenen Garten mit Pool. Hier war es sehr schön und ruhig- perfekt zum Entspannen.

Nice staff. Rustic but cozy. What we did not expect from a 3 1/2 star is no water in the shower and sink. Way too often. It is just old and not maintained. Asked Hotels. Com for a change. But they did nothing but tray to call the hotel. And promise us a cancellation the next 72 h. By then we had moved on.
