Tembo House Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"There are so many blessings waiting for you at the Tembo House, but the A/C was my saving grace 🌞! The pools were clean and inviting. The room was furnished with history and luxury (we stayed in a triple room). The staff were like meeting old friends and being treated like family. Lounging at the beach and watching the Friday night scene was exciting, charming, and safe. The hotel is located in the heart of the Stone Town experience. My family (wife and 2 pre-teen sons) cannot wait to return. Will stay here for all our future Stone Town adventures!"
"A hotel of beautiful traditional architecture with stunning decor throughout. Its location in Stone Town made it convenient to the main tourist sites and the boat to Prison Island . Despite the heat a well functioning air conditioner made the beautiful room very comfortable. Lovely breakfasts and delicious cakes and of course coffee for afternoon tea."
"The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided information about resources available. Loved the old town feel. It reminds me of a Moroccan riad. Breakfast is good. The location is great. It’s close to the ferry. It has a nice rooftop to watch the sunset. It’s close to the airport."
"Good breakfast, very boutique, heritage style hotel showing history given it's located in historic Stone Town. Very good vibes, accessible to most locations from waterfront, to infamous fish market, to excellent restaurants, stores etc."
"The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. The airport shuttle was free and even though our arrival flight was delayed by 2 hours the driver was there as we arrived "
