This hotel was recommended to us by a family friend and we expected a nice place with good food, but we were really disappointed! Rooms are without air-conditioning or good working fan, there is just some cheap old fan, which doesn’t work very well. My parents had the more expensive room, which was quiet ok, but the cheaper room (which... More

My friend and I stayed at the Blue Oyster for 5 nights after 3 weeks of adventure on the mainland. It was exactly what we needed! The rooms were spacious and clean and very comfortable for our stay. I love all of the wood details and I wished I could have brought the furniture back home with me! I did... More

What a lovely place! I stayed there for one night and would definitely love to go back for more. The staff is quite friendly, the hotel is well managed and quite clean ( I think it's run by germans and that why it has higher standards compared to similar places in Eastern Africa). The view from my room was lovely,... More

The blue oyster is a beautiful hotel. I stayed there for one night when coming accross from Stone Town. We would have stayed longer but there was more of the island to explore and we were also on a budget. The rooms are spacious, clean and endearing. The beach area everything you'd need to relax in the sun on the... More

We stayed five nights in a seafront bungalow. We think the 95 euro's is a little overpriced (we also went to Casa del Mar a kilometer further along the coast, 90 dollars/70 euro with swimmingpool which is a big plus during the hours of low tide). During our stay most guests were retired Germans. Food in the bar and restaurant... More

We had a warm & informative reception here. The rooms were so comfortable. Everything worked. = ) The dinner - lobster for two - was the best I have eaten in years! We called out the chef to congratulate him. Service was good too. Only a few recommendations....would be convenient to have a front verandah exit to the beach instead... More

Excellent place if you want to escape for more touristic places in the Zanzibar such as Nungwi. The staff is very helpful, the hotel has very good vibe and relaxed feeling about it. The food in restaurant is good and the view is amazing. Great place to chill out, meditate and recharge your batteries.

Stayed here for 4 nights in Dec 12 after travelling in Kenya/Tanzania. The rooms are clean and spacious (No TV but not needed). Service is excellent throughout with wifi available at an extra charge. The food was very good, lots of variety and all cooked very well. The beach is very nice with soft white sand. Seaweed is harvested and... More

We had a great time at the Blue Oyster Hotel. Staff was very friendly, especially Domeniko at the reception helped with any question you could think of. The room was nice and had a spacious terrace. The beach is not for tourists only, but real life activities, like fishermen working on their boats or women harvesting seagrass at low tide,... More
