"On it's own away from the outside area, this is an excellent property.
The beach can be accessed by others but that is not an issue and the beach traders are not intrusive.
Shopping, dining, leasure and activities all catered for on site but trips out can also be organised from within the complex.
But the the thing that makes this place are the staff, from the gardening team to head chef, each and every one was courteous, helpful and happy.
Well done staff you make this place."

"Vi havde generelt et godt ophold. Servicen var god, og de ansatte var imødekommende og kommunikerende. Værelset var fint, og AC virkede upåklageligt. Eneste minus var badeværelset, som var uden afskærmet brusekabine og bestemt ikke lever op til standarden for et godt hotel. Hotellet har god beliggenhed helt ned til havet, og stranden er dejlig og umiddelbart mindre turistet end andre steder på Zanzibar. "

"Beautifully laid out, beach right out every front door, very clean, staff was helpful and friendly, great food and a quiet but still family atmosphere. You can tell the owners give a lot of attention to the details. Pool was so clean and beautiful. Also the landscaping was stunning and gave it an upscale resort feel while still having an intimate feel. They set up an excursion and airport ride and made the whole process easy. Would HIGHLY recommend this place and would stay here again!"

"Great place but we were there in early June and there was a lot of construction going on everywhere and we might have been the only people in The place. Breakfast definitely leaves something to be desired, it's a good attempt at American or English breakfast but basically it's bread and you can get eggs any way you want. Do you want pancakes you can have honey or chocolate syrup but they don't know what's maple syrup. The food was okay but not exciting and we didn't get out of the hotel much....

"During a recent break from a business trip in Dar Es Salaam, I decided to pop over to Zanzibar and spend two nights at the Kendwa Rocks Hotel. The resort is expansive and features an impressive variety of amenities and activities to keep you busy, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a dynamic beach vacation.It is worth noting for incoming guests that the property appears to be undergoing some massive renovations right now. Consequently, it is currently not in its peak aesthetic condition, and there are a few construction-related detours required just to get from one side of the property to the other.Despite the ongoing work and the minor navigation hurdles, the hotel serves as an excellent oasis to disconnect and lose yourself from the outside world for a few days. The disruptions are easily overshadowed by the hospitality. The staff members were each incredible—always friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure a great experience. Their exceptional service truly made a lasting impression. I thoroughly enjoyed my time winding down here, and if my travels ever bring me back to Zanzibar, I will absolutely book another stay at this hotel."
"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!"
"All meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner had extensive selection for all tastes and needs. All excellently, prepared fresh and delicious. We were fortunate to have an upgrade to a large 61m ocean view suite which was extremely comfortable. All staff were extremely helpful and with big smiles. First time we have stayed at this chain of resorts and best we have experienced."
