The complimentary breakfast was great (lots of options). Overall, would recommend this hotel. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the Freddy Mercury suites which are ideally located....everything you need is within walking distance.

A perfect location on the beach in central Stone Town and close to every thing. The manager personally spends time with guests checking they are enjoying their stay. The hotel has 3 pools overlooking the beach. Around 5pm each day youngsters train doing arcobatics on the beach and around sunset a team of athletes called the Zanzibar Flippers practice their amazing routines using an old truck tyre buried in the sand as a trampoline. The Tembo does not serve alcohol, but wonderful juices, and if you fancy something stronger next door is the Livingston bar to watch the Flippers work their magic.athletes ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Amenities Great location, nice rooms, friendly staff ##### Robert Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abdalla Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tembo hotel Manager was very good plus reception young and hard working ##### Abdalla Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Dec 5, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay. ##### Thomas Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff, good pool, nice view of the sea! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very good hotel for short stay of 2 or 3 days.

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! ##### Kenan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely fab Absolutely fabulous hotel.
