We stayed 2 nights at the end of our 9 days on Zanzibar. Mustapha's is quirky and laid back. The grounds are so welcoming we spent most of our stay just relaxing in the compound--reading in the hammocks, playing cards while enjoying a drink, and eating their delicious food. The beach is a quick walk away and is very quiet.... More

We stayed at Mustaphas Place for 10 nights over Christmas and New Year. It was the perfect place for us (a family with 3 couples). The rooms with fans were ok, what we expected and since we only spend time there to sleep they were sufficient. We enjoyed the good food (which is actually cheaper than in the other restaurants...

For someone not looking to spend too much and to have a great time, this place is perfect! Great prices, especially for Zanzibar, which is typically more expensive that mainland Tanzania. We stayed here for three nights and loved it because it is cheaper as it is not right on the beach but it's about a 3 minute walk through... More

I went to Mustapha's Place to stay on the East Coast of Zanzibar, which I had heard was a much better area to stay than the North Coast for someone not trying to party every night. There's still plenty to do, even partying if you want to, but the experience is more true to the real Zanzibar. Originally, I went... More

Awesome stay. This is the perfect place to kick back and unwind. Mustapha's is 50 meters from the water and you can almost taste the breeze from your room. The staff is full of good people and are very hospitable. Every maintenance detail is always swiftly taken care of to keep the day moving smoothly. The food here is unbelievable,... More
