Top Zanzibar Town Hotel Reviews

Tembo House Hotel

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I truly enjoyed my stay. I wish I was able to stay more than one night. It was conveniently positioned. The three pools were added bonus. The breakfast options were nice and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They provided an airport shuttle and it wasn’t very expensive and the driver was very punctual and very professional. They even provided me with an umbrella for the downpour the day of my tour, which was very nice. I would 100% recommend staying with them if you were ever in the Stonetown area it was a very central location as well which made the trip very walkable."
