Everything: we needed a hotel close to the airport due to the flights being in the early hours of the morning and the location of this hotel was just perfect 5 minutes walk to the airport. The hotel is exceptionally clean, staff are very nice. Swimming pool is clean and sun lounging area is very convenient to catch the last bit of sun tan. Room is not too big but very clean and cosy. Ours was with the view to the runway, and was very nice, hotel is soundproof, so noise from planes doesn't bother at all.

For the price, this place was a steal. The rooms are bigger than the pictures. There is a kitchen and a large bathroom with a hot shower. The staff are all extremely friendly and greet you whenever you meet. They're all cheerful and went above and beyond to make our stay more comfortable. They let us store our luggage when we arrived and left the hotel. The breakfast was amazing with a huge variety and fresh juice. The swimming pool was very refreshing to jump into. We had dinner and lunch a few times here and each time the food tasted good and was appropriately priced. The location is amazing and is located in the centre of stone town. It is in a safe area and at no time did I feel unsafe. It is less than a minute away from markets selling souvenirs and 3 minute walk away from the sea front.

    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    Very busy city, lots of traffic & motor cycles. Communication was slow . Very expensive place . Couldn’t find any malls. Lots of tourists . Very interesting shopping at indoor malls & buying fruit off the street. Lots of negotiations for the USD .

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination. Don't just go to the beaches also visit the villages and learn the culture. Try Sea Walk and Quad Bike is a must. Don't leave Zanzibar without going to Mnemba Island for Dolohines best sighting. In stone town don't miss Stone Town Cafe for their Hearty Beef Burger they call it Sandwitch. At night just stick to Forodhani for all kinds of food.

    Old town is amazing.

    Old town is amazing. Walking around the lanes and back roads showed the real character of the place - particularly when you get outside of the "tourist" hub. No need for tour guides - just grab a map and explore. Also visit the fish market for a real look into the day to day life of the locals and fishermen.

    Stone Town in Zanzibar is the place to stay, for about three days. Enjoy the excellent beaches by staying at one or more, dividing your time between northern & southern beaches. preferable to hire a car for this purpose, as large distances & some activities like dolphin watching best from 6 to 7 AM, less crowd & more dolphins. each beach has something special, like Page beach for Kite Boarding. plenty of sea based activities. sothern beaches less crowded

    The city and the infrastructure needs more improvements. For someone who has no much access to white sand beaches this island can offer something. Freddy Mercury's museum was the biggest highlight to me personally.

    Absolutely amazing stay at Tembo! The location is perfect - on the beach, right in the heart of Stone Town, a one minute walk from the night market, old fort, museums, cafes and restaurants. The hotel is very well maintained, with 2 beautiful pools, fast wifi, aircon, fans, lots of hot water, incredible views of the ocean, and a huge buffet breakfast. Highly recommend!

    The location is excelent, in front of the see and close to historical area and markets/shops. The staff is very friendly. There is a nice roof top to see the sunset. Although the beach in front of the hotel is not very good to swim the hotel has a nice pool. The tour in Stone Town and Prison Island/Nakupenda that the hotel organized were very good.

    Wonderful historic house directly in stone town. The employees have been kind and caring. The room (Suite) was spacious and is decorated with historical Charme. The food and drinks are good and at a decent price. We also did the city tour, the spice farm tour as well as some transfers from the hotel. Good service abs customer orientation.
