Aside from the broken shower head that they immediately fix. (Im amazed) The room i got was a bit far from the main. I should have been moved to Freddie room as im one of his big fan 😅🤣

The promptness of the staff. I would highly recommend Abdul rauf Ali for being there with me attending all my request and questions. He deserves a big recognition. He is the star of Tembo and that had a great stay! Id travel in many parts of the world and I can say that he is the best.

The wifi here is a bit slow but ok for email etc. The pool could do with more lounges and the upper deck needs umbrellas, as it’s just scorching concrete when the sun is out. Would’ve loved a cocktail by the pool, too, but understand alcohol is not as common in this area.

This property is in a great beachside location. Close to the main park and a short stroll to all the highlights of Stone Town. And it’s around the corner from the Freddie Mercury museum. Pool is fabulous but unfortunately the upper one was under renovation (to make it bigger!) The restaurant serves the basics which can be had in the outdoor area or restaurant. Staff here are friendly and welcoming and we had a great stay.

Nothing. We were in Annex building but staff helped get bags up and down to the room.

Great location in Stonetown. Small beach front was nice, very busy as was Eid.

A pity that the pool wasn't kept open a bit longer in the evenings. Also a bit of a disappointment for the kids that the pool facing the beach was under construction.

The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Room with sea view and balcony, you have to go out on the balcony to see the view 🫣😲

Reactive and very polite staff! Super central

Crossing the street to thebPalace hotel - should have hotel staff to help kids cross.

Great pools, excellent food, nice staff, cleanliness, plenty of outlets in the room. Safe. Easily walkable area.

Having to stay in the outlying buildings meant being harassed by taxi and tuk tuk drivers everytime you walked to your room and also people trying to guide you to their restaurants or shops. The beach access was nice but the same experience as leaving the front of the hotel, guys trying to sell you goods or boat trips. The infinity edge pool was under construction and it was quite loud and distracting during meals. The braced roof was also a little disconcerting since the restaurant is directly under the area being braced.

The location of Tembo House is perfectly located in the tourist center of Stone Town and is a short walking distance or tuk tuk ride to any of the tourist sites and many restaurants. It is located on the same street as the upscale resorts of the Park Hyatt and Serena Hotel. The hotel has many different buildings within a couple of blocks and our building, while located a couple blocks away from the main hotel, had its own pool and game room with a pool table and foosball table which was great with kids. The family rooms were large with 3 king sized beds. The air conditioning was great after staying at a beach resort without it for many days! The included breakfast was varied and delicious. The lunch and dinner menu had a good selection and good prices. The main pool was large and refereshing with varied depths appropriate for any age. The smaller pool in our building was a single depth of 1.4 meters which was a little deep for small children but was fine with floaties. The staff was always available and very friendly and helpful.

Restaurant is slow to make your food 30-45 minute waiting period. Either the chef is slow or the waitress don’t check up on the order often. This was off peak times. They don’t sell alcohol. Don’t wake up too early for breakfast they do take time in setting up.

Location, setup, convenience.

The breakfast and the lunch was on a lower quality. Typical for a slightly larger hotel. The beach is full of persons that wants to sell things and there are a lot of boats. You can swim but it is not plesant.

Well located in the heart of stone town. Very close to everything of interest and also a rather short walk to the ferry terminal. The staff was very friendly and we where allowed a late check-out. Very generous with towels around the pool.

When you are making a booking for Tembo Hotel, make sure when you select rooms it's under "Tembo Hotel" and not Tembo Palace or their other locations. I had that issue where I was booking Tembo Hotel and they put me in another building, but I was firm and the rectified very and I loved my room - CHUNGWA.

1. The hotel is beautiful. 2. The staff is helpful and SUPER friendly. 3. The Hotel is perfectly located. 4. You feel safe in the hotel and around Stone Town

Poor location of the back rooms.

Great room

There was a renovation going on that was quite noisy. There could have been a discount because of the inconvenience.

Very nice location in the centre of the city. Friendly staff. Great cappuccino.

Renovations next to pool meant it wasn’t very relaxing

Good location, next to beach in an old historic building.

Good location

The ongoing renovation throughout the day was very annoying, even when you have lunch your food gets really dusty after constant drilling and banging the walls. Beach was full of beach boys and the airport taxi driver was keeping harassing us to take the tour from him for the reat of our stay.

Great beach beds, sweet staff.

Were very dissappointed when ordered two vanilla cakes from the restaurant (3 dollars each), hoping to get some juicy cake made of local vanilla, but received three pieces of dry cake which was probably left from the breakfast table.

Beautiful building with great views in the Stone town near the beach. Lots of staff that is why the information bias.

Really central, few steps from the main square facing the ocean. It’s an old hotel with a lot of character and with its pros and cons. Pro: old colonial feel , two swimming pools that you need with the absolutely hot weather, big breakfast, very nice staff Cons: no lift, small room (at least mine)

Stayed in March 2024

The size of the room. It was very small

The place is very nice and authentic at the heart of Stone town and closed by all main tourist attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful
