“Amazing staff, artsy rooms in a tranquil, tropical setting.”
The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. The swimming pool was big and mostly quiet. The plant life on the property is extremely diverse and creates a tranquil, tropical atmosphere. Our room was cleaned every day and breakfast was adequate ... fresh fruit platter, fresh juice and eggs of your choice.

Robin, the manager, was helpful and tried to help when he could. The pool is nice, and the place has a good vibe. The hotel is not on the beach but very close.

“We had a great and memorable stay and would definitely come back!”
What a lovely place - we were especially impressed by the warm welcome we received! The entire place is on white sand and I did not wear any shoes for the length of our stay. The pool is amazing, the rooms are quirky and staff is very nice. We loved the playground, aquarium, fire place, music, hammocks, and the resident bush baby was a huge bonus :-)!

“Great place to relax”
Mustapha's place is a very cozy and friendly one to stay and enjoy Zanzibar. It is located near the ocean (a nice beach is just 50 meters away), in the quiet part of the island, in the village of Bwejuu. The breakfast was very good, rich in fruit and very tasty. You can also order lunch or dinner there. The bar is also well supplied, good drinks on the menu :-) The whole area is well equipped with swings and hammocks. Very easy to chill there. Rooms are simple, but nice. We really appreciated mosquito nets over the bed.

It felt like an oasis of beautiful trees, animals and water. There was beautiful seating everywhere and you could always find a little nook or cranny to hide away in and read or just sit and listen to the birds. The beach was a 2 minute walk away. They offer yummy food and there are plenty of restaurants around. There is live music close by. And here they feed the bush baby’s every now get and have an inviting camp fire for the guests every night! The staff was incredibly nice and made the stay what it was! I highly recommend Mustapha’s Place!

“The place of fun and friendly people around”
I will always remember that outstanding moments I have spent in Mustangs Place. The boss and the team are excellent people who make the atmosphere of the holiday. I have met very nice and friendly people with whom I’ve visited the all island.

“A.nature reserve posing as a hotel”
Mustaphas is unique, you live in the middle of towering trees and bushes in rooms/apartments which are fairly basic with no air con and roofs constructed from local rushes. It is like a nature reserve. However the main strength of this place is the incredible staff who work tirelessly to give every guest a great time. I found Robbie, Sweety and Lister to be so likeable.i now think of them as friends. This isn't a modern luxury hotel in many aspects it is basic. But I will definitely return.

“Incredible place with outstanding staff”
The staff and ambience of Mustaphas are incredible.it has a Rasta/hippy vibe to it which made it so relaxing. The whole site is abundant with full grown trees. These were all planted by Mustapha back in 1991 and are now producing Coconut, Mango, Bananas and Papaya is abundance, much to the delight of the monkeys and of the Bush Babies which visit the bar area each evening. The trees cover the whole site and surround the pool so there is shade during the day. They put a lot of effort into keeping the whole site groomed and the pool clean. There is a short (less than 100mtrs) walk to the beach. Then a beach walk to Paje where there are ATMs, coffee shops etc. Breakfast is very good with fresh fruit then a choice of eggs/omelette etc.

Nice and peaceful environment, welcoming and helpful staff and attention to detail. I stayed in a double room on a tree which was an interesting experience. Not ideal if you have a big luggage! The environment is very family friendly so many children around.

“Absolutely amazing”
Amazing place. The hosts were amazing; they ak your name and remember it. At night you can cuddle with the dogs and feed the bushbaby; a monkey with the size of a squarrel that likes banana. Due to the various small buildings, white sand, swimming pool and bar it's a very relaxing environment to stay.
