Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.CatherineSouth Africa - 10Scored 10
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.Rahel AsefaEthiopia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!AAnonymousFinland - 8.0Scored 8.0

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices. However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.Joy - 4.0Scored 4.0

Dirty, smelly, full of approaching ~beach boys, sellers and beggars. Much more aggressive than up north. Mostly came for a Nakupenda tour. Nice place but be aware that it’s crowded - by lots of tourists and then of course even the aggressive up in your face wanting to touch you sellers there too. The more upscaled beach hotels and restaurants are nice though.MariaSweden - 10Scored 10
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence.
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence. It is worth taking the boat to prison island to learn more about the history and see the turtles. 2 days is sufficient. In the evening there is a night market with different food stalls.

- From $62.70 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 941 reviewsI have booked this place only to have a chance to sleep for 5-6 hours. I came to Zanzibar at night around 4am so until I could go and check in to other hotel near the beach I decided to find something cheap and close to airport to get some sleep so I only stayed at this hotel for 5 hours so I cant say much. But the receptionist were nice and room is ok. If its just for 1 night to stay near airport because you need its fine, otherwise for longer stay in too far from city center and there is nothing around that much near hotel.GretaLithuania
- From $112 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 4,687 reviewsIt‘s always good to have an AC and towels at the pool. The beach and city center (night market) is really near to the hotel. The pickup from the airport was on time and well organized. The staff is friendly and we could text them months before arriving with any questions. The breakfast was good: juices, fruits, fresh omelettes and crepes, cereals and even hot food like potatoes. We were at the apartements in another house near to the main hotel. If you need the beach and the pool nextdoor, remember to book the main hotel.
MarionGermany - From $112.50 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 2,129 reviewsI stayed at this hotel with my husband. We booked the presidential suite with a sea view. Waking up in the morning and going out to her balcony to watch the sea, people on the beach and the ships was worth every single penny. Imagine just lounging on the balcony in the evening with the quiet bustle and ocean sounds. We loved it so much that we have decided to return to it on our last couple of days of vacation. The staff is super helpful and welcoming. They have amazing accommodations such as a pool where you can relax
SucaadDenmark - From $208.70 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 377 reviewsHotel outside area was nice, restaurant was pretty in evenings (needed more lighting at restaurant). Beach was nice but didn’t look like pictures on Booking.com. Comfy loungers. Large bed and spacious room. Aircon and Wi-Fi worked well. Hotel was close to airport and 10 min drive from stone town. Locals were nice on the beach. The cats were super friendly and looked like they were looked after. Pool was nice. Manager asked us for our opinion on hotel before leaving and listened to our considerations which was nice.
TroyUnited Kingdom - From $85 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,425 reviewsIt is important to know that Tembo Hotel havs several location and not just one. All locations are clean, same as in the photo, same service, everything exceptional, however, be mindful if you wish to stay in the same space with the pool or on the beach. Other than that, I think is the best location to stay at. Best price, friendly staff, very very good food, air conditioning, hot water (not that you will ever want it), safe, close to everything and anything, everything exceptional!!!
MiineaRomania - From $108.10 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 955 reviewsThe room was very nice, especially the bathroom. The location was perfect, in the middle of Stone Town, next to the Old Fort. Food was really good, especially the breakfast! The pool on the rooftop was the best after our Safaritrip. The view from the rooftop above the city is wonderful. We also had the possibility to leave our luggage in a luggage room after check out. We would definitely recommend this hotel for your short stay in Stone Town!KarinGermany
