What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

I could say many things about this amazing property, starting with the beautiful rooms and the constant assistance by its super kind staff but to be honest I was particularly impressed by the location that is a real wonder of nature: this place is a paradise. I was upgraded in a Suite and I could enjoy one of the best sunset I can remember in recent times, not to mention the pristine beach. One special mention to the chef who assisted us personally and prepared some unforgettable Italian "spaghetti ai frutti di mare"!

The building outside and inside is just magnificient with it's flair from 1001 arabian nights. The interior is decorated with a lot of attention to detail and just wandering the hallways you can discover many arabic-style antiquities. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, the pool is very clean, the breakfast extensive and the location unbeatable especially when you arrive by ferry as it is only a 2min walk from the port.

    If you're looking for a beach holiday, I really wouldn't recommend Zanzibar, there are better destinations like Seychelles, Mauritius etc. People keep trying to annoy you, they will try to "escort" you and ask you for money, you won't get any lone time on the beach.

    Zanzibar is a beautiful island.

    Zanzibar is a beautiful island. I have never seen water so blue! We ate at the Rock restaurant which was amazing. We took a Spice tour, tour to Prison Island, Blue Atoll, Salami Cave and to see the Red Columbus monkeys. I would recommend all of the tours. The people are friendly and helpful. There are cats everywhere! Locals seem to take good care of them and put out food for them. There is even a cat cross walk sign.

    We did a city tour, and it was informative. The unpaved streets, and all the dust and dirt was a problem with our sinuses. The people was friendly, and we understand they have to be a little pushy in order to make a living.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city. They have an organized transport system for tourists . I travelled to Nungwi beach and it was really a beautiful place. It was not crowded and the water was very clear and the water sports activities and so many . There are very many eateries all around . I would highly recommend Zanzibar.

    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    Very busy city, lots of traffic & motor cycles. Communication was slow . Very expensive place . Couldn’t find any malls. Lots of tourists . Very interesting shopping at indoor malls & buying fruit off the street. Lots of negotiations for the USD .

    Hotel Tembo is great, right on the beach with two pools. We stayed in the associated B&B, a short walk away once you know the route. We were on the top floor in a large studio where we were very comfortable. We had access to the hotel facilities including breakfast with a view.
