"Excelente localização, à beira mar."

9.0

Excelente localização, quarto muito confortável, me colocaram em um quarto enorme, muito bom! Café da manhã excelente e o hotel fica na praia, com uma vista muito bonita. Perto de tudo.

A acomodação não possui elevador, então ficar no terceiro andar pode ser um pouco desafiador.

We had a wonderful stay in Zanzibar. The property was clean, comfortable, and offered exactly what we needed peace, quiet, and complete privacy. It was perfect for relaxing with family, and we truly enjoyed every moment

The only downside was an unexpected $5 per person tax charged on departure, which we feel should be clearly mentioned in advance.

"Luxury, beauty and comfort on a budget"

8.0

Flexibility and care. I made a booking mistake, booked the Tembo palace hotel facility instead of Tembo House Hotel. Manager was so gracious and moved me to the Tembo House. Very understanding and hospitable. Most importantly as a takeaway, this hotel is budget friendly with all the amenities of a more expensive facility.

The outside of the Hotel had Tour guides, taxi drivers and agents chasing guests every time we stepped out...a bit disturbing. I believe these services should be registered with front office should guests want them... A bit disconcerting
