Everything. Staff, Food, Location, Facilities, Rooms. Our 5th stay at Tembo in 12 months. Excellent every time including recognition by the staff and brilliant service. Kassim in the reception area is fantastic, ensuring we were happy with the room and arranging bookings for us. We have stayed in all sections of Tembo main hotel, Apartments and Palace and enjoyed them all. Seeing the General Manager (Abdul?) down at breakfast and chatting with him while he is checking how things are with the guests is great to see.

Staying in Freddie Mercury’s childhood home was special. It is a really beautiful apartment and on top of that you get use of the facilities at the hotel. I only had one night but it will definitely stay in the memory bank!!!

We had a massive fabulous room with two double beds. Bathroom small but functional and clean. Location is perfect when in transit. Supermarket and liquor shop just around the corner and lovely restaurant with best meal we had in Zanzibar just across local football field. Late night airport transfer was smooth and on time (10 USD). Although people at the property spoke very little English, they were friendly and welcoming and presumably the owner communicated with be all the time on Booking apps. Cannot comment on breakfast as we left ant 2 A.M. In all excellent short term stay.

    The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.
