the property was exceptional! Never been to a more beautiful hotel. The art was clearly sourced and curated to perfection. The food was exceptionally tasty and even when there was an item on the menu we didn’t enjoy the staff did everything to get our feedback and make the necessary changes. The staff, and the hotel room, next to none. Every staff member met us with a smile. We love Neela, we will be back & tell everyone to come too

Right on the beach, offering modern amenities, but also rich with historical buildings and stories. I happen to be there when a lot of sights were closed for renovation, but I did see the Anglican Church (where the old slave market was) and the Freddy Mercury museum. Don't miss the sunsets!

Zanzibar old town is not only nice itself but is also a starting point for other trips. Worth visiting in town: - Slavery memorial museum - st. Joseph Catholic Cathedral - local market - food market in Forodhani at night - small streets with souvenirs shops - Portuguese Arch Trips outside: - spice plantations - prison island - snorkeling - mangrove forests Old fort and museum was under renovation so I didnt visit. Don’t stay only in all inclusive hotel. Allow yourself to wonder and even get lost in the town.

Zanzibar City is fascinating on a number of levels. Whether you are interested in its intercultural and colonial history, the abolition of slavery or just wish to enjoy Swahili cuisine and music, a vibrant street life or the comfort of an international hotel, there is much to do and see.

The place very unique like you are in a movie, refreshing to see how they lived in the 1800 and 1900, the environment is clean, the only thing I didn't like is that the hotel on the beach, released all the dirty water into the sea

Enjoyed the overall 'happy' atmosphere that is all around at Stone Town, you feel perfectly safe, everybody is friendly, nobody is harassing you. Typically enjoyed walking through the narrow streets of Stone Town, sniffing up all kinds of scents.

The staff is amazing. Food at the restaurant is good. Rooftop is nice. Location is right in the middle of Stone Town. This hotel allows you to be a part of the city without being contaminated by tourism. I recommend the hotel if you want to breath the local culture and encounter locals. 2/3 nights is enough. Not recommended if you are looking for a European fancy beach with 5 stars service and no contact with local culture.

This was in an excellent location, right on the beach and was a great place to base ourselves. The staff were very welcoming and inviting, happily providing any assistance if required. Facilities were good - great pool (if you did not want to swim in the ocean) and well located restaurant overlooking the beach. The hotel itself is interesting with quite a history and lots to see of that history if you have the time.

This was our second time staying at Tembo. The hotel is perfectly located. Right on the beach with two pools and a great continental breakfast. Rooms are a good size and ours came with a balcony. We stayed in the annex building this time which was only a few mins walk from the main building. Staff are lovely and they even made sure we had a take away breakfast the morning we left as we had an early flight.
