Fantastic location - amazing view and easy access to explore Stone Town. The pools were lovely! Food was good.

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 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place in Zanzibar Fantastic service.

Second stay at Tembo house hotel also a great pleasure. Deluxe suite gives great view of the beach from the private terasse and bathroom is modern. Smaller than the family room but great for being closer to beach life. Employees SO friendly and positive. Guests feel really welcome and all requests are being handled smoothly and with a smile.
