Guest Reviews
- Sergio (9/5): Hotel muy recomendable - Hotel muy nuevo, estrenado hace menos de un año. Habitaciones limpias, grandes y bonitas con buenas vistas al mar. La cama y almohada son buenas y cómodas. Cada día te dejan dos botellas de agua. Zona común igualmente limpia y con varias piscinas. Buffet libre variado y de buena calidad, tanto desayuno como comidas. Personal muy amable y muy atentos, así como el gerente (además habla español). Dispone de kayak gratis, zona de juego para niños, zona de juegos adultos, gym, spa, clínica etc. También dispone de seguridad privada en los accesos y en la playa. En general hotel muy completo y muy recomendable, volveríamos sin duda. Aunque no es culpa del hotel, la playa de enfrente por la mañana es fea. Hasta que sube la marea al mediodía.
No hay mosquiteras en la habitación.
El gimnasio es muy pequeño, solo hay cuatro máquinas, pero además están incompletas; en la polea faltan agarres, más discos de pesas, etc.
No venden nada de alcohol.
Durante nuestra estancia no hubo actividades diurnas ni nocturna (salvo un día, música en directo durante la cena) lo que lo hace tranquilo pero también excesivamente aburrido.
- Slavomir (10/5): - Everything was great. Great resort on the beach, great staff, clean rooms and the whole complex, great manager Karim will help with everything.
Breakfast and dinner great.
I recommend.
- Awdah (9/5): -

- VICTORY (10/5): -
- Damian (9/5): - no additional comments everything was good
- Lana (10/5): Perfect - Beautiful beach, everyone is super friendly and a very nice hotel to stay with kids! We booked the room with private pool and it was absolutely worth it. Wifi also was very fast.
The food was always good and fresh, special wishes always possible There is nothing we didn’t like

- Shachar (10/5): -
- Lawrence (9/5): I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Zanzibar. Is a true beauty, beyond pictures, safe, super friend - The property is excellent, clean and well maintained Actually nothing
- Taiwo (10/5): - As expected
- REBECCA (9/5): We had a great time and will definitely be back ! - The location is beautiful. Amazing walk in private pools. Very clean . Manager Amir is amazing , quick to sort guest requests effectively and fast . Response to reservation bookings on their WhatsApp line can be improved .
- Bridget (9/5): Great place at Tembo kiwengwa - The Resort was great, the place is perfect, the food was also delicious and great service from the staff. The beach is not as clean or beautiful as the ones in Kendwa or Nungwi. Neighboring hotels were in constructions and they throw their construction trash into the sea at the beach.
- Yvette (9/5): OVEROLL WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AND WILL BE BACK - INTERNET CONNECTION TO THE ROOM WAS FLAKY
THE TV IN THE ROOM WAS NOT WORKING AS THE WIFI COULDN'T REACH THE ROOM
- Lauren (10/5): Best was to spend time in Zanzibar - What’s not to love? The location is prime, property is beautiful, food is amazing and each and every staff member was fantastic!! That I had to leave :(
- Meeraf (10/5): - Staff are amazing very helpful specially the reception..hotel is new and well maintained and cleaned Nothing.
- sayyedah (7/5): We enjoyed the hotel’s peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff. - We really appreciated the overall calm and serene atmosphere of the hotel. The staff at the restaurant and the children’s play area were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made a positive difference to our stay. The manager was also approachable and tried his best to assist whenever needed, which we truly appreciated.
The kids’ pool was excellent — our little one spent hours there and really enjoyed being able to move around comfortably without floaters. The kids’ play area was also a great bonus and added value to the family experience. The description mentioned a “private pool,” however it was not truly private as people passing by could clearly see into the pool area, which was a bit disappointing as this was not expected based on the listing.
On arrival, the room did not have a welcome package or a spa menu, which would have been helpful to understand the available services and activities. Additionally, when we contacted room service for food, the experience was not very encouraging. We ordered chicken nuggets but received chicken escalope instead. The food variety overall was quite limited and could be improved.
The hotel page also mentioned a range of activities, but during our stay there did not seem to be much available or organised. Furthermore, prior to arrival we had enquired about a high chair and were informed that none were available, so we brought our own from Dar es Salaam. However, upon arrival we noticed that there were actually three high chairs available, which was a bit inconvenient.
There were also a couple of instances where staff knocked on the door while we were resting—once to place toiletries in the room and another time to request signing of a drinks bill, which was a little disruptive.
Overall, while we appreciated the calm and peaceful setting, there are areas that do need improvement, particularly in terms of communication, service consistency, and enhancing the menu and guest experience.
- Abdou kamil (10/5): -
- Ferdinand (10/5): -
- Sandrine (9/5): Absolutely recommend this place! Excellent! - Facilities, comfort, staff Food

- Bruno (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially the front desk team Mr Amir, Elizabeth and Ester don't forget the F&B Staff Muhidin Hidaya and Hawa they were so helpful,Our room was spotless and well-equipped with a very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved the convenient location what a sea view! Breakfast had a huge variety of options, and we will definitely return!"
Thank you Tembo 🙏💟
- Jamila (10/5): Breath taking and restful! - The food and proximity to the beach! The rooms were clean and spacious! I loved everything honestly! My kind request would be to put a portable / movable shower head as the fixed one upwards limits guests who may not want to always have their hair wet
- NADIR (10/5): It was wonderful - Clean and calm environment The food especially dinner needs an upgrade
- Hajar (9/5): - Lovely hotel with excellent service. Truly enjoyed the experience.Amazing hospitality from hotel manager Amir. -
- Alaskan (9/5): -
- Steven (10/5): Very comfortable, breath taking view of the ocean. Excellent food. - Great view and very clean. The AC in R04 stopped working at night. It needs to be checked.
- Nadia (8/5): - Le personnel était adorable Plus d'accessibilité pour les fauteuils roulants dans les chambres ça serait super
- Onyeka (10/5): -
- Mumbi (2/5): I didn’t enjoy my stay. Customer service is bad, the wifi and the food 1/10. - The aesthetic of the resort is just beautiful. Accessibility all around also is great. The customer service was unpleasant to say the least.
The food was bland, tasteless and not fresh, that goes for all the meals I and my partner had.
The staff are slow and not happy to help apart from one man at the restaurant called Osman. Kudos to him.
The WiFi in the rooms does not work and that was absolutely frustrating all the time unless you want to chill at the reception all day long to get connected.
- Kristine Berge (9/5): -
- Duncan (10/5): Fantastic Tembo Kiwengwa Resort - The rooms have high standard finish. Very clean. The hotel amenities are fantastic. There swimming pools we're immaculate. The food was amazing. The detail the chef went to in presentation and quality is of a 5 star resturant. The staff were courteous, very friendly and will to go the extra mile when we needed anything. The manager Ameer and his team is one of the main reasons we would return. Great experience. Nothing come to mind. This was one of the best experiences my family and I have experienced.
- Michaela (9/5): Paradise👌 - Everything, great massage😍 Awesome and helpful staff Food was not so great for 5star, we were in low season, so maybe that s why choices were quite limited too
- Raewyn (9/5): -
- Houda (1/5): -
- Mäittälä (8/5): - Everything ok I was there twice, in one week with diffferent ladies. Man who show us the room was same both times. Second time I went there he said that I was here a week ago. That was NOT his place to say that.
- Hitesh (7/5): The Hotel and the facilities and the rooms were very clean. Staff were excellent. Only the issue was the restaurant and - The property was in good location on the beach very nice pools were very nice and clean On Booking.com there is now where it says that it didn’t do alcohol and that was quite deceiving. We went for half board in the morning. They provided juice but in the evening meal there was only water and you had to pay for any extra my coffees and juices, the restaurant had lots of flies coming in because they’ve got open windows but the staff were very good every single one of them. We spoke to the manager about the juice and they said it’s like going to a restaurant you don’t you have to purchase the drinks even soft drinks.
- George (10/5): -
- Viktoriya (10/5): - otel mükemmel yemekler güzel. odalar temiz . havuzlu oda tuttuk otelin sucu değil ama plajini sevemedik. yani plaj yine güzel kumsal şezlonglar vs. ama okyanusun gel gitleri çok fenaydi. yani yüzemedik. bu olmasaydi otel %100 mükemmel kusursuz olurdu
- Mellin (10/5): Please never miss a chance to go to this place when in Zanzibar!!!! It really does look like e pictures. I must add it s - Everything was excellent!!!! I honestly have nothing negative to say.. except that they don’t sell alcohol.
- a2d11602842d734e2af70eaed4a90f9f (5/5): - The tile in the rooms and corridors are too slippery.
One is prone to falling, especially whenever wet.

- 9d124b920e93717e23e0977987358cf9 (10/5): Spectacular! Value for money. Definitely visiting again 👌 - Beautiful property with large rooms. I stayed in the room with a walk in pool through my balcony. That was my highlight of the stay! Breakfast amazingly good with wide variety throughout my 6 days stay. Well taken care of and beautiful compound with direct access to the beach.
They could do better about entertainment though like other hotels do considering its location. Can get too quiet if you don’t have other places to visit in Zanzibar. Additional entertainment activities could do them some good 😊
- Leanne (10/5): -
- Alwi (10/5): -
- Suhaib (3/5): Never again. Keep your exclusive flies infested hotel to white Europeans! - Being on the beach Management prioritised white European guests and ignored darker ones! Breakfast bar was covered with flies! Managers never showed up in the mornings but late in the afternoon (waking up late after late nights creeping up to white European guests!!). Buffet were unreasonably expensive compared to other hotels. Managers and few staffs with exception of Mr Emmanuel were rude and not friendly
One of my photos is showing the GM in action with his over the top creeping to German tourists! One of many I may sadly add!

The atmosphere felt authentic and relaxing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more memorable. It was the perfect place to unwind Absolutely nothing

- Frederic (8/5): Prestations de très bonne qualité. - La propreté, la qualité générale des chambres et un personnel aux petits soins. Un grand merci à Hamida et l’ensemble des équipes du restaurant. Restaurant proposant une nourriture de qualité et variée. Les chambres avec accès piscine sont particulièrement agréables. La plage non débarrassée de ses algues. Il est à noter que l’hôtel ne possède aucun bar servant de l’alcool.

- Baruwa (10/5): Amazing place! Amazing food 👍🏽 - An amazing and beautiful resort. The food is amazing.
- Pushpendu (10/5): Loved the stay in Tembo Kiwengwa Resort - Tembo Kiwengwa Resort is a brand-new, expansive property that immediately impresses with its grand sense of space and atmosphere. The rooms are modern, generously sized, and thoughtfully designed, while the bathrooms are equally spacious and beautifully finished.
We stayed for three nights in a room with a jacuzzi, and our experience was excellent throughout. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really elevated our stay. A special mention to the chef, who went out of their way to accommodate personal food preferences—something that’s quite rare and very much appreciated.
The hotel features a large restaurant that can comfortably accommodate many guests at once. During our stay, they offered buffet dinners accompanied by live music, creating a lively and enjoyable vibe. It was so convenient not having to go out in search of food, as both the breakfast and dining options were consistently great.
The resort also boasts multiple large swimming pools, providing plenty of space to relax and have fun. We especially loved the sunbeds under the shade of palm trees—they quickly became our favorite spot to unwind and spend the day soaking in the beautiful atmosphere.
Overall, we truly loved the vibe and ambiance of the hotel. It’s a fantastic place for a comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable stay. One small thing we missed was a heated swimming pool, as the water tend to get quite cold in the evening. That said, we later realized there might be another pool on the terrace, so it’s possible we simply overlooked it—if that’s the case, please feel free to disregard this point. 🙂

- Branislav (8/5): - Strava vyborná, hlavne dezerty a ovocie. Na raňajky možno nejaka šunka, zapekana slanina, vajíčka na tvrdo a pomarančový džús ináč všetko ok. A minimalne soft drinks mali byt zahrnuté v cene.Vonku sú nádherné a čisté toalety s možnosťou prezlečenia, čo sme pri neskorom odchode využili. Nealkoholický rezort. Nie som si istý, či to niekde uvádzajú. Takže sme si museli kupovať vo vedľajšom rezorte pivo po 5USD, čo nám prišlo predražené. Odlietali sme až popoludní, preto nás zarazilo, že už nám neboli ochotní poskytnúť obed v cene pobytu ale jedine za popletok 20 USD na osobu, čo tiež nie je celkom očakávané. Poloha je na východe ostrova, čo spôsobuje veľký odliv, to by až tak nevadilo ako tie nánosy odpadkov plastových fliaš a odumretých rias pri prílive. Za to ale rozort nemôže, žial to je skôr realita ostrova. Internet na izbe najmä večer veľmi nestíhal.

- Sunday (9/5): Exceptional experience and something worth reliving over and over again. Cheers - Everything about the property was exceptional. From the staff, food, location, facilities and even the Spa. Thanks Emmanuel, Mohammed, Ethan and Penda for giving us a memorable experience. We will definitely be back soon. I suggest their Wi-Fi should have a back up power supply so it doesn’t go off when the light does. Thanks
- Agnieszka (10/5): Pobyt bardzo udany. Piękny hotel i bardzo miły personel. - Hotel pięknie usytuowany tuż przy plaży.
Czysty pokój sprzątany codziennie. Było wspaniale. Brak słuchawki prysznicowej. Była tylko deszczownica. Kiedy chciałam się odświeżyć moczyłam moje długie włosy. To nie było komfortowe.

- Mari (8/5): İf I visit agian Zanzibar I would check for different hotels - Was extremely clean, wide rooms with balcony One of thy guy on the reception was rude, it was 6 in the morning, the check in time was 12 .00 , he offered me a very similer room to the one I booked, and instantly charged 55 $ for the early check in, more then the half of the rooms were empty, they were not at the peak season, then said if I will have breakfast which was an open buffet I have to pay extra 15 $, My booking was hakf board but as I checked early I was there at the breakfast tine. Regarding my flight my check out time was 2.30 am, and I wouldn’t have breakfast at the resort sı they could count for it. The important point was that he was like a money money money oerson… finaly he asked me to meet at the reception to change the room!, in the morning thanks god his shift was ended , the lady I spoke told me that it ‘s exactly the same level room if you like I can keep it, no need to move!!!,
One more think it wasn’t mentioned but there were no bars at the ressort, they were not serving alcoholic drinks … I am not addicted but at least I would like to have a mohito on the beach or a glass of wine with my dinner…
Exceot that guy all the staff mainly the ladies were very nice and helpful..
I’m very surprised about the rating shıwn at booking, luxiuy, clean… but has a lot of disadvantages also

- Mathna (5/5): Service needs improving - The property grouds was very nice. The buffet options were amazing. 2 members of staff were exceptional: young lady working the restaurant desk and another woman who was part of the serving crew who wore hijab were brilliant. Room service was slow, they also forgot some items. We were not notified at reception that at some point staff would need to enter the room to spray disinfectant so we felt rushed to leave the room for dinner. Flies in the restaurant. For the price of the room, I feel as though check out at 11am is too early. Customer service needs improving.
