Stayed in room 100. Had a huge balcony that overlooked the beach and then went around the corner over the pool. The trees were a little tall and blocked the view. Went to dinner and they had been cut to provide the perfect view in that short space of time! (Between 2100-2300). The room was furnished with local Zanibar antiques,... More

The key to enjoying the Tembo Hotel is to compare it to Africa not to a first world hotels you are used to. After a road trip in Uganda I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tembo had: - New bed mattresses - Clean rooms - Hot showers - A pool, bar and restaurant It's worth keeping in mind: -... More

It is a good 2 star accommodation by my assessment. Good view of the sea. However as it is close to the port, you will not feel like swimming here.

Nice place to stay in stone town compared to serena around the corner as far as pricing and location goes unless you are on a honeymoon. Pls do not eat the Tanzanite suites or hotel around the corner, food as well as service was lousy, rather try the silk route down the road , good menu as well as service.... More

Tembo is beautifully located and convinent to all the attraction of Stone Town. The rooms were wonderful with the style of the 40s. Free wifi, pool, service and view are amazing. More

Tembo was pretty much what we expected - convenient, clean, and relaxing. The pool is a welcome break in the Stone Town heat. Slept great, thanks to the AC. Staff were friendly and accommodating. More

After weeks of travelling around South and East Africa, this place was a dream! Fantastic service, lovely atmosphere, and the pool was great. Location was also perfect and i found it very safe as I was a single female traveler. I hope to go back and take my husband next time! More

My two friends and I stayed here for two nights in March and loved it. The rooms are spotless, the beds are comfortable and have ample mosquito nets, the showers and bathrooms are nicely tiled, they have free wifi internet, the service is friendly, and the beachfront location is awesome! People, this is not the Four Seasons. For $100/night, set... More

Nice pool and option of beach sun loungers however service poor. Had to wait 2 hours for pool towel one day and 30 minutes plus 2 reminders for breakfast eggs. More
