Guest Reviews
- FarAway21464889415 (8/5): Good mid range hotel - Lovely apartment set back off the road and across the road from the main (& slightly more noisy!) hotel. It has its own pool and the rooms are more private than the main hotel. Rooms are large with aircon - simple design but beds are comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly
- Navigator18883950980 (10/5): Great hotel in centre of stone town - Great little Annex hotel, to the main hotel tembo house (less than 1 minute walk between the 2) We had a family room which had 3 large double beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Breakfast was very nice, with a varied selection. Pool facilities and restaurant were both great. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The front of house manager (Kassim?) provided a great service and they assisted us with advice and helped arrange activities in stone town. Would definitely stay again!
- Karim (10/5): - Seamless check in with exceptional service. I failed to do my due diligence and got a room that faced alleys with adjacent dwellings that had much desirable walls requiring paint and garbage below. I would still recommend Tembo Hotel but ensure you select one with city view and/or balcony as the property does have multiple sections. Don't hesitate to reach out to them as they do respond back. People in general are very humble and respectful.
- Karim (10/5): - The check in and the service by staff was exceptional. I would, however, advice any guests planning to stay at this hotel to ensure they select the section which provides a balcony and/or city view. I missed doing my due diligence and ended up in a room with pretty bad views of the alley where one can see garbage also. The hotel was fully booked hence nothing else was avaliable for us to switch. Otherwise I would recommend this hotel and the plus point being Forodhani was within walking distance. Safe with no issues. People in Zanzibar are humble and respectful.
- Richard (8/5): - Helt kurrant! God beliggenhet, kurrant hotell.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Not a good stay! - The hotel is on the beach. Little did I know that we would get a room in another building behind the hotel. Air condition did not cool enough. The safe did not work…they tried to fix it… they could not. Only 3 towels, only 3 water bottles. We were 4 people. Bathroom not clean. Floors not clean. Not nice pillow. Restaurant got everything about our order wrong. Food not nice. The smell of diesel when we had lunch was horrible. Sorry to say, but I Can not recommend this hotel.
- Linda (6/5): - Stora rum och helt ok sängar. Tyvärr var jag sjuk under min vistelse men övriga sällskapet tyckte frukosten var rätt tråkig. Frukt och sötsaker
- Monica (10/5): - Just beautiful and perfect
- H5986SBkimm (8/5): Lovely stay in the middle of stone town - We stayed in a family room in the annex. The beds were pretty comfy and the bathroom huge. We had a constant supply of hot water and I liked that the fridge had cold water already in it when we arrived. This was topped up during our stay. The room had a safe, air con and ceiling fans. As two females we felt comfortable walking from the hotel to the night market and back late at night. There was always staff at the entrance. The staff also were helpful in showing us where the nearest atm and grocery was for snacks.
- sherineretna (6/5): Not a great experience - While the location of the hotel is convenient, it is in urgent need of refurbishment and improvements in customer service. The property is spread across multiple buildings, but guests are not informed in advance which one they will be staying in. Room amenities fall short of even 3-star standards, and if you're placed in Tembo Palace, the views are disappointing, overlooking a narrow alley and old buildings. Issues such as a malfunctioning air conditioner, leaking wash basin, and unpleasant sewerage smells in the bathroom further detract from the experience, making the rooms far from comfortable.
- Danielle (10/5): - Wonderful staff that were helpful and accommodating in many ways. I needed to store my luggage for a few extra days and they graciously agreed and it was kept safe. No elevator, but the porters were so helpful during check-in/out that it wasn’t a problem. The breakfast area, pool and beach were beautiful and overall this was a very convenient location. Room was huge and clean with adjustable air conditioning. I would definitely recommend and stay there again!
- Isabelle (8/5): 1 jour à stone town - Hôtel plus que convenable Grande chambre, par contre nous avons été mis ds un autre bâtiment. Assez vieux Salle de bain immense Près de la plage.
- John Henry J (10/5): Beautiful centrally located hotel fun for kids - We picked this hotel for convenience to the ferry terminal and Stone Town. It seems to be the main hotel in Stone Town, centrally located to tourist areas, beach, and restaurants. It is also artistically very beautiful in terms of architecture and layout. We were in apartments adjacent to the main hotel, accessed via an alley. Kids in our group loved the three pools at both buildings, as well as the billiards and foosball table, which together provided many hours of fun. Staff in both buildings were friendly and eager to help. Rooms were beautiful and clean. We used this as a launching point for a sandbar visit, a snorkeling excursion, and a walking tour. The hotel very kindly accommodated us with a changing room to use after checkout after returning from an excursion -- much appreciated. Note that a small tax has to be paid locally - USD 15 per person per night. The only downside was that the area outside the hotel is full of vendors who aggressively seek customers almost 24/7.
- Christa (10/5): Wonderful stay! - This hotel is perfectly located for an easy walk all over town. Choice of three pools and fantastic restaurant with breakfast included. Lovely breakfast buffet! The building is immediately across the street from its sister hotel, which is right on the beach and provides beach access. Rooms are spacious and clean. Hotel staff is wonderfully accommodating and attentive. We would definitely return here! Architecture and decorating is classic Zanzibar and charming!
- Sydni (10/5): - We were super happy with our stay at Tembo Palace, we could use the facilities at both hotels, close to everything 5 minutes walk away from the night market. The hotel is on the beach front which is perfect, restaurant and drinks was great and staff were really efficient and friendly. Breakfast was great, buffet and omelettes/waffles made on request. Rooms were cleaned every day. Would recommend this hotel
- Abiy (10/5): - Excellent breakfast buffet and great location
- Mumtaz (10/5): - Hotel is in a good location staff very courteous very clean rooms Just one thing no elevators lots of stairs to climb elevators should be added otherwise excellent
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Utrolig hjelpsomme og vennlig personale. Ingenting var et problem når vi spurte om noe. Frokost og mat ok. Noe slitasje på hotellet, men ok renslighet. Er en del selgere rundt hotellet, både ved stranden og inngangsparti. Bor her gjerne igjen da personalet var så snille og hjelpsomme!
- Mario_Zungu (10/5): Beautiful place in the heart of Stone Town - Everything was perfect, from the welcoming to the beautiful rooms, comfortable, clean... You can relax peacefully even in the middle of the city. They take good care of you and help in anything you may require. I can recommend it 100%. You will not regret it.
- WAYNE (4/5): - The breakfast was bad, and the hotel was under construction. The beds were vey hard.
- jamila (2/5): - If you have the choice DO NOT waste your money on this property. Rooms are claustrophobic, no proper ventilation, washroom is a senior nightmare with all the steps, stray cats peeing on the restaurant floor. They have the ocean front and another hotel behind and if you don’t know the difference and you book for the other it is at the back, in a hot room with no elevators (they made my senior parents climb 2 flights of stairs) until their changed out room…then made us wait until 9pm after travelling to get a room with the staff attitude. The wifi hardly works. To add to it the restaurant when you order a meal gives you the option to pay in US or local currency. They change more for the conversion than the live exchange!! It is an antique looking building but that isn’t an excuse for the dirt. Their mosquito nets have the same dead bugs on the top for days. Additionally there is zero sound proofing. Waste of money! We couldn’t not get out of there fast enough!!!
- Margaret (10/5): - Great property and staff.
- Susan (10/5): Lovely after a dodgy start - We loved our stay. We had a triple room in Tembo Palace, which is about a minutes walk from the main Tembo Hotel. It has its own pool (which is smaller but quieter than the main one) but breakfast and the restaurant is in the main hotel. Our room was huge with three king-sized beds and a large bathroom. A/c and fans were effective. Both hotels are beautifully restored buildings. The alley leading to ours didn’t look great initially but we always felt safe walking back and forth. It’s about 30 seconds from the Freddie Mercury museum. The staff were brilliant throughout with a special mention for Pieter, our waiter on a couple of occasions. Breakfast is awesome with lots of choice and eggs made to order. Our only disappointment was on arrival when the bathroom was covered with what looked like large flakes of paint - bath, floor, basin, loo - everything. It was 3am so we really couldn’t be bothered to report it then. When we did next day, it was quickly cleared but it was a disturbing reflection on how rooms are prepared. Having said that, the actual bedroom seemed clean. Oh, and it had a fridge - lovely for keeping water and juice cool.
- kareem (8/5): - It was nice very busy hotel
- 555laiths (10/5): Great customer service - Really good service. Abdulaziz the manager provided first class service, and was extremely helpful and friendly and always checked on us at breakfast every day. The rooms are clean, the hotel is within stone town and close to a lot of the historical sites like the old palace, forodhani, darajani market and is a short boat ride to to prison island.
- samueljW9250FJ (10/5): Great trip - Great trip. Great hotel. Feisal was very kind to me and my group. And hery helpful great guy. He showed us things to do and Zanzibar and people that can help us do those things. Would highly recommend staying at tembo
- Karim (8/5): - Good location in the center of Stowntown. but no lift, incase u have walking issues, and no liquor license of bar!
- Beth (10/5): - This is a very fun place to stay. It has lots of Zanzibar character. The three pools are amazing and the view is incredible
- 50elanure (10/5): 100% recommended - Really nice and clean hotel, rooms are big and comfortable. The staff is really friendly, especially ali helped us well. Its in the center, everything is really nearby. Nice environment. I 100% recommend. Asante sana!
- 875larae (10/5): Amazing - It was a perfect experience it is a beautiful hotel I did enjoy it very much it was very nice The people that work st the hotel were also very nice they were very nice ecpecialy the worker ali was very nice
- non4meforu (8/5): Tembo Palace Hotel Review - Had a pleasent stay, big thanks to F&B Manager Abdulaziz Hassan for explaining all about the service and breakfast service. Only thing that could be better is the pressure in bathroom of the room. . .
- Adventure5930 (6/5): No sleep non working toilet and sink - Very loud shouting outside hotel all night, 1 toilet not working, 1 sink not working, didn’t tell us wifi code on checking in, insisted on sending 2 porters despite objections by us so we had to pay more tips, didn’t tell us about closer pool, tv nothing on, hard to turn on…….shower doesn’t work well.
- Julia (8/5): - Lovely converted palace with a great spot on the beach. One friend had issues with water and a/c but they got fixed.
- Sanne Mussa (8/5): - Breakfast was outstanding
- Demetria (10/5): Zanzibar - Staying at Tembo palace was amazing. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was nice every morning.

- TomaszW2419 (10/5): Stay at Tembo - Great hotel. Nice people working here, who are always helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily. We got help with organising trips. The many pills are clean and very nice. The breakfast is bay tasty and the egg master is a true master.
- 696monap (10/5): Best people - Ali and feisal were the nicest staff ever!!! They always smiled and asked us how we were doing! Recommend coming to Tembo hotel. It is the nicest hotel in Stone Town and has a great breakfast and really the best personel
- N7847MFjessical (10/5): Fantastic stay - We had the most fantastic stay at Tembo Hotel - the building is absolutely beautiful with great factilities (especially all 3 pools!). All the staff were wonderful. We stayed in the Annex and our Porter Ali was especially fantastic, and gave us recommendations of best local dishes to try and places to eat. I can’t recommend this hotel enough - we’ll definitely be coming back!
- Twickers97 (10/5): One night stay at Tembo Hotel - Wonderful hotel, with friendly and super helpful staff. Ali from the annexe helped us pick out the best places to eat at the Forodhani Food Market, and gave great tips around town. Will definitely be coming back if we’re ever lucky enough to make it back to Zanzibar!
- valeriadibenedetto (10/5): Best hotel in Zanzibar - Very conforteble hotel , nice and clean room The staff is super friendly Near the town and the beach Very good breakfast Feisal ali was very helpful The decoration inside are old and beautiful The best ghigno to stay in Zanzibar High recommend
- Riklee (10/5): Lovely stay with friendly staff. Sunset views from the pool and dining area. - Staff are lovely, location is nice and central, pools are excellent and views out to the sea and sunset from the dining area. Tembo Palace is an additional building located near the main hotel but it is easy to walk between them. Room is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was at the main hotel with fantastic choice.
- 862fatmab (10/5): Verry nice Hotel and friendly staff 👌 - We really enjoyed our time at Tempo house hotel. The location is good and the staff is very helpful with all our needs. Breakfast is delicious and the rooms are very well-made and very comfortable. We recommend you this hotel 🥰
- Mike Doreen (6/5): - Decent value hotel, nothing special - ran out of water for short periods of time both days we stayed - but quickly corrected when we contacted the desk.
- Joanne (10/5): - Great hotel
- Chidumebi (8/5): - It was nice. The staff was friendly, great location, a little noisy. Nothing too fancy, just an okay place.
- Vivolyn Waugh (10/5): - Staff genuinely friendly and courteous, always willing to assist. Property was very clean. Food was ok. If I were to visit Zanzibar again I will surely stay at this hotel
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location could not be better -- right on the ocean with great beach, super people-watching, awesome sunsets
- STEPHEN (2/5): Very unsatisfactory - The accommodation was not as described. I stead of the advertised property we were obliged to stay in a nearby building with NO POOL and NO RESTAURANT Furthermore my complaint to the hotel has not been responded to
- Verified traveler (10/5): - One of the better hotels that is Convenient and reasonably priced.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We brought our kids, and they enjoyed the wonderful pool and beach access. We highly recommend Tembo!
- Mary (8/5): A very pleasing stay. - Xmas in Zanzibar was fabulous, the Hotel provided a great service throughout our time there, although Xmas cake for breakfast was rather unusual! The staff in particular were extremely polite, kind and very helpful. Our room was sprayed every evening for mosquitos which was great, the hotel was lovely and clean, we did have a problem with no hot water for a couple of days but it was solved fairly quickly. The breakfast was similar every morning but there was plenty of it to be had. We ate in the restaurant only once and the menu covered most tastes. On the whole a very pleasant stay.
- David (6/5): - Hotel is serviceable, nothing great, but nothing terrible except for the condition and cleanliness. The towels smelled of mildew and horrible smell coming from the bathroom drains. I realize this is due to pluming design, but visitors should be aware.
- Niko (8/5): Comfortable place for a family stay. - The apartment block that we used is tucked away from the main street and a 100m walk from the main hotel, but that doesn't really make a difference... the only thing is that you don't get a view out of the hotel. We traveled with two young kids and the most important stuff was comfort... they had two large queen size beds that were comfortable, the AC worked nicely and the room was clean. We had access to the main hotel that has a good breakfast and a nice pool to relax by... Compared to many other places in Stone Town, this hotel is a good value for the price. We would stay there again.
- john (10/5): - great hotel right on beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice property on the ocean. It had a fridge that worked well so you can keep drinks cold. They are non alcoholic building but there are places close by if you want to have a drink.
- Thiago (10/5): - Beautiful building, spacious room, nice swimming pool.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We spent one night in Stone Town and we chose this hotel. The hotel is well placed on the beach. The food was amazing. Staff were well trained and always ready to help. I loved the hot sauce the hotel used at the restaurant. The manager got someone to go out and buy me a couple of bottles. Real service!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - No alcohol property bits tons of places close by to eat and drink. They own the building Freddy Mercury grew up on and you might even stay in his suite.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - They have several properties but only one on tje actualbbeach in Stonetown so make sure to get a specific confirmation. Otherwise some of the best hotel management interactions heva ive had (Osman and Rahim simply outstanding) and would not stay anywhere else in Stonetown.
- Lisa (8/5): - Delightful. We stayed in the Annex and still had complete access to the pool and beach. I had some business to attend to while at the hotel and the staff was extremely accommodating. Food was delicious and the staff was very caring and helpful. We were right in the midst of Stonetown and felt safe and sound! Thanks Temdo House.!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Absolutely amazing location beautiful amenities only thing was that we were at the apartments very nice and spacious lacked a lift that is the only fault I can give them. I’d still go there again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved that this hotel has a beautiful beach view. Wonderful staff, good food, and located where shopping and restaurants are a short walk away.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful old building in a great location. Only downside is that the street can be loud, especially when your room is street side.
- Susie (10/5): - Huge airy room massive comfy bed and separate lounging area very cool tiled bathroom Great breakfast right on the beach nice big pool with endless swimming towels Very typical Zanzibar deco made our visit to Stonetown very memorable Staff were very helpful
- Ellen (8/5): Tembo Annex - We stayed in the Tembo Annex. That meant we had to cross the street from the Tembo Hotel, go a short distance down an alley, take a left then you could see the hotel entrance on the right. The spacious room contained 2 large beds, fridge, coffee maker and 2 bottles of water which you need to brush your teeth. The room and bathroom were clean and the bath tile was fascinating. The view from our room looked down into more alleys, (see attached pics). My friend and I were nervous walking the alley and made sure we got back right after dinner and stayed in for the evening. I will say the alley was very well light but people, mostly men, sit on the building stoops and it made us uncomfortable having to walk by them in the evening. This is a practice throughout the town and not a problem, just a little unnerving in the evening. I attached pics of the Annex lobby and our room. The main hotel had a nice pool and was on the beach. A roped area separated the guests from the locals. I would not swim in the water because there were so may large boats and ships moored out in the harbor. However the locals and other guests did swim. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, it included different breads, hot meals and fruit plus omelet station. All staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the decor of the hotel.
- Naima (10/5): Amazing stay - It’s been lovely staying here the staff are amazing and the service is great. Would recommend this hotel highly.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very good hotel,location, staff were very kind and helpful
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved that this property was directly on the beach, especially for the wonderful breakfast. The central location is helpful for planning day trips, or walk out the door directly on to s boat to the islands.
- Tbird (8/5): Great location - Description states there is a lounge/bar but they do not serve alcohol at this hotel. Misleading. Overall hotel was in a good location, and had nice rooms.
- Craig (8/5): Tembo house hotel and annex. - Tembo house hotel is really 3 buildings. You have tembo house hotel, tembo apartments across the small street and annex of tembo behind the apartments. The rooms are massive, quite Tunisian in their decor. We stayed in the annex and the rooms were really nice. Your own water heater, fridge, large bathroom and amazingly comfortable beds. Best nights sleep I’ve had for ages whilst staying at Tembo. The staff are very nice, the food is excellent and the views are stunning. Would definitely recommend staying here
- J (8/5): - Great location. Nice architecture. Excellent breakfast and lounge/dining area (overlooking the pool/sea). Helpful, friendly staff. Reasonable rooms. Only thing that slightly diminished the experience was the impression that the hotel and staff took every opportunity to pocket a large cut for trips/taxis that were arranged - I didn't feel the hotel was acting in either the tour providers or our best interest here.
