The places has a lot history and photos of Freddie Mercury but I think they could do more because it’s very small. You pay 8 dollars for the entrance. If you are a very big fan of Mercury, I recommend it.

Freddie Mercurys house is located in stone town. Its decorated outside with photos of the legend. Just next to it you will find the show must go on museum. It opens at 10 AM and closes at 6 PM. The entrance was 8 dollars.

Rather small museum, but interesting place to check if you are here

House where Freddie Mercury,(original name Farrokh Bulsara) was born in September 5, 1946, Stone Town, Zanzibar ,Now a museum & hotel dedicated to the singer.

Too expensive to go inside.But I loved Freddy so only took pictures from outside.

The site is nothing else than a house certainly, and in addition it is not possible to visit the one that hereally lived in. But it has its charm to get there, walk its streets, and think about everything the singer experienced in this picturesque city. Nowadays it is a hotel, of not very high quality, and next to it there is a small museum which we did not get to enter.

Appartments are related to Tembo Hotel but are situated outside the hotel. In diferrent location. Ive rented appartment for 2 days and not a hotel room with purpose. I had my birthday and met new good local friends and friends from other countries on the internet and I wanted to have possibility to invite them in the appartment that I have rented to celebrate my birthday party. I assumed that renting an appartment gives me such possibility and specified number of guests to 4 people and actually paid for the appartment for 4 people. But when we came, guys from the reception told us that it is forbidden for non-residents to visit the appartment. I tried to explain them that I paid for 4 people and there are 4 of us. Ive rented an appartment not a hotel room with purpose not to have such kind of issues. We gave on the reception 2(ids) of 4. Other 2 guys forgot their Ids.Guys from the reception explained that guests could steal something from my or other appartments and its forbidden. I responded that if they steal something from me then its my responsibility and I trust my guests.Also I asked why there were no info that guests are not alloowed. And still I paid for my guests staying I rent appartment for 4 people. Also I asked to show the list of hotels rules and the exact rule that it is forbidden for guests to visit an appartment for a few hours. As I expexted there was no such rule. But still they didnt let us in.I am totally disappointed to be honest. I am expecting that when you are paying about 300$ for 2 nights you as a customer should not face that kind of issue. Or at least that rule should specified somewhere to avoild such kind of situations. My birthday party was ruined because of it.Because of late checkout and polite staff the I rating 3 of 10, otherwise it would be 1 of 10

Staying here for a week. Lovely apartment with an epic history!

Very nice place. The service is good. But it is not the real appartments. Usually they ask for the id or documents to come to your appartments.More the hotel way of business. Actually Ive choosed the place like an apartments. And I believe to ask who is my guest it is not their business.Clean and nice place. Too loud outside, sometimes annoying, not a good sound isolation

Meh. Freddies house is now a hotel and only guests are allowed inside. The museum, next to the house is 8USD per person but has nothing to offer. You might get nostalgic for the artist and buy a ticket for the museum, but its not worth it at all. Can avoid completely.

If you are a big fan of Freddie, you should see here while in Zanzibar, I have seen childhood photos that I have not seen before.Anna guided very well, she answered all our questions.

Tickets are expensive - 8 dollars per person. Inside there is nothing special.

The house is quite well curated and lighted. For all the QUEEN fans out there, it is definitely worth the visit.

We didn’t do the tour, just took pictures outsides his house. There were a lot of people outside looking at his house and taking photos. It’s also a nice starting point if you want to explore the stone town // old fort.

Cool retreat that appears first when coming from the ferry. The place is frequented by many tourists that come to get some cool in the shade of the reed roof and the breeze from the beach. Menu and service are great but are on the international price level

One of my favorite place in Zanzibar ❤️ Freddie Mercury

This is all you get because its now a hotel. Definitely attracted lots of tourist. The town would make more if they turned a part of it into a viewing area, shop or bar. Total missed opportunity.

Nice but very small. Only takes a few minutes to go through it. Slightly excessive but not to bad. Staff very friendly.

Its legit and authentic. Is there else to do here, think about him and remember? Not really unless dodging folks trying to sell you everything and the kitchen sink.I am disappointed that I shaved my beard and didnt leave a mustache to take a picture with :(

Its embarrassing how little respect they have shown to a legend of his size. Basically its a door, with 5 texts about Freddy, not possible to enter, nobody you could talk to or get some information is near the building. Pitiful

Cute, small, but nice to visit while in town.

So nice this place

Only can see the outside .. not much exciting!

The shortest visit you could ever done...There’s a door with 4 papers explaining he’s lived in Zanzibar and that’s it...Nothing more to do nor to see.. Because you can’t enter...I saw it, I took a picture, I walked away...Do I recommend it... ? Well you just lose more time reading this ... Don’t change your plan for this...

Cool place, very Main Street, most vendors are overpriced and inside locals have told me most are drug addicts trying to get by. A good area to take a quick pic and leave.

Nice place and museum very enjoying

Freddie Mercury has never seen this house, because he had left much before they built it!! 😂😂😂 Inside the building there is a hotel where people pay for sleeping in Freddie Mercurys home. Even tourist guides show this building as Freddys real home.A BIG LIE.It is a mockery of the people. Zanzibar with centuries of true history does not need a lie to attract tourists.

This is the historic place in stone town where the king of pop music was born known as freddie mercury,now has become a popular with tourists,there are some picture which show freddie mercury from childhood and singer

This is just a hotel / inn that Freddy mercury stayed at after he got famous. It is not where he grew up - in case there is any confusion. This is just a door and display that talks about his life. He did in fact grow up in Zanzibar.

One of my favorite artists all the time, I give 5 stars.

Awesome place to visit. It has the vibe and charisma of Freddy Mercury. You cant afford to miss this place when youre in Zanzibar.

Souvenir shop in there. Can buy African style souvenirs, Queen-themed T shirts, caps etc.

......Not much to see here! This seems more like a Shrine In Remembrance of a Zanzibarian Who became World Famous! Still it was and is always something special to see and be here in person! ....worth a Photo here to take home nothing else!......

I have stayed twice in Mercurys house. It is a pleasant place. A beautiful house and great location. Simply it is the best.

Very beautiful place.

Amaziing!!Staff and services were perfect..The facility is very big and clean, located in the heart of the town!Amazing experience everything was just perfect

Just a place one should visit while on Zanzibar especially if youre a fan of Queen.

Interesting and emotional

Great place to stay ,full of love energy and love

Small museum dedicated to Freddy Mercury, at the place where (according to locals) he used to live as a child.

Not much to see besides a door and a coue of pictures. Would be great if they allowed tours inside

Over rated! Can only enter if you are a guest at the hotel! But then thats one way to keep the tourists out..

Nothing to see there, just the sign above the doors. Inside there is a hotel, usualy a lot of people trying to snap a selfie

Cool to see the house but you cant go inside unless you stay at the hotel.

Wasnt inside, so give four stars to this place)

The must visited placed in zanzibar for Queen fans. Easy access from the port, near shopping center, and a lot of cafe.

It is just good to know and see where the great Freddie has lived as a child.

To little to see. Somebody made hotel out of it. So you can have a look from outside only.

Lovely to see, particularly after watching Bohemian Rhapsody. I was hoping for more in terms of a museum though.

Good tour in stone town streets

No words can express my happiness to visit this place..

Its a nice place to visit while you are in Zanzibar, especial when youre in STONE TOWN.

Pity u cant go in as its now an hotel. I opened the door and took some pics.

Nothing to see,he deserve more , not just few old pictures 🤔 ...just commercial place,maybe next time they will ask 10 $ for pictures * Zanzibar style *

A decent hotel in the heart of the city. Freddie mercury does not live there anymore

I am totally disappointed, its just commercial, they dont even let you in and see inside, it become a hotel. Shame !!!

Cozy appartment ..great service, great location

It just a room with printed pictures from internet

Nothing special;)

Awesome history. Great to be able to see this place of a Queen 👑

Unfortunately, there is not much to see. Not possible to go into the house. Much more could be extracted from the place. But it should be looked at.

It was a bit noisy to sleep. However e great experience.

Not possible to enter since it becomes a hotel and this is quite sad.

Freddie Mercury was a man of the people.

If you are in Zanzibar, you must visit tbe House of Freddy Mercury!

Now it is a hotel. You can take pictures in front of the door

If youre not staying at the hostel you cant enter the place

Nice place. But need more tourstical exposure

Well FMs childhood home is an expensive hotel now apparently.

Our first best holiday nice apartment

Work hard

Great place

Very vague.

Probably someone make a hotel in this house. There is nothing interested accept a few posters.

Was great,i had taken some pictures

The servis take too long

It was his childhood home. Its exactly what youd expect.

Freddy was born here in Zanzibar.Great for queen fans

Nothing much to see. I suppose its nice to see it but it takes 3 seconds.

Iconic home for one of Zanzibar biggest icon Freddy mercury

Nice

Beds are rather short.

It is just a door. No tour of his old house.

Magic

Obviously only see it from the road. But he was born here.

Exciting story boards out of the building.

Right now it is only a sign outside a building...

Just a house. Some photos. Only for true worshippers

To see where a legend was born is priceless

This is about it, little disappointing but accessible to all!

Very nice food, the staff friendly

Not much to see. No freddy feel.

Amazing ...so rich in history

Nice to to know his bsckground.

Nothing special, house like many around

Not really what i expected, just few postere and souvenirs.

Im not sure it was real Freddie Mercurys.

Not Freddy Mercurys house.

Must visit for a Queens fan!

Zanzibar is a beautiful holiday destination.
