Best sunset swim!

Fantastic location - amazing view and easy access to explore Stone Town. The pools were lovely! Food was good. The only small downside was that one of the sellers from outside twice approach us in the hotel trying to sell us a painting - once just outside our room.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The service was beyond impeccable. I would highly recommend this hotel. And I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in my lifetime. It is extremely close to anything that you want to do in Stone Town. The staff were so accommodating and so friendly. I wish I could think of more positive things to say about this place. The view is stunning. And there are loads of places to sit and relax. The swimming pool is amazing. I could just go on and on.

I love the Tembo House

We were originally booked into the Embe room and it is right over them main road and the courtyard. Very noisy. The next night we requested to be moved and had an older, but much quieter room. Overall, I love the Tembo House!

Tembo House hotel - a favourite!

Second stay at Tembo house hotel also a great pleasure. Deluxe suite gives great view of the beach from the private terasse and bathroom is modern. Smaller than the family room but great for being closer to beach life. Employees SO friendly and positive. Guests feel really welcome and all requests are being handled smoothly and with a smile. Our favorite out of the 4 hotels we have stayed at during our Zanzibar vacation. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Stay at Tembo Hotel! We had an amazing experience at Tembo Hotel. The location is super central, the hotel is clean, stylish, and very well-maintained. Our room had an absolutely stunning view — it really made the stay extra special! A big shout-out to the staff: we checked out after midnight at 1 AM, and they arranged transport to the airport and even packed breakfast for us to take along. That level of service truly impressed us. Highly recommended — we would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely fab

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Room was spacious. Staff all spoke English well and were very helpful. Full breakfast buffet (free) with lots of variety. Open air dining on the beach if you like, or eat inside. They have bag storage if you want to do one last day at the beach after checkout. And they even have a changing room with shower and clean towels if you do that last beach day.
