Stayed at Mustapha's for 5 days. One of the best places on our 5 week trip through Africa. BEST breakfasts, each one served by the sweetest girl, Vanessa (if memory serves me right), especially with the fresh fruit and juice preceding the actual hot plate. SO amazingly relaxing! A minute walk from the beach, great rooms (we stayed in the round house), great guests, hammocks and lounges for some serious r & r. Bwejuu in general is a tiny beach village and is fantastic for off the beaten path stays. The shared bathrooms and showers are very clean, mosquito netting, clean, large beds, and the food and drink options are great. The music that plays throughout the day is fantastic and helps to add to the feel of the place. Experienced some great dancing, a birthday feast, and friendly travelers while there. Ann(e?) who is currently managing the place is very friendly and easy-going. Definitely recommend this place!

Whenever we visit Zanzibar, beautiful, magic island that it is, we head for the unspoilt east coast and Mustapha's Place in lovely Bwejuu. Avoiding the excesses of the evening ocean breeze, but still very close to the beach, private and cosy, with such welcoming staff, Mustapha's Place is a must stay for people looking a REAL experience of Zanzibar, rather than the more up-scale and detached variety which can be found, but are also a dime a dozen all over the world. Mustapha's personifies Zanzibar - super chill, rasta flavoured, welcoming, inexpensive, original, dream-like.... when I think of Mustapha's Place I think frangipani, hibiscus, soft white sand, azure blue sea, ambience to the max, friendly as can be. No one who knows Mustaphas wants it to change. Do I sound like a travel brochure writer...well, its hard not to when it comes to this very special Place!

I spent 2 and a half weeks on the East coast of Zanzibar and even though we only stayed at Mustaphas Place for a few days, we always found ourselves walking down the beach to visit. We originally arrived with a group of about 15 students on a tour of Africa and after the group left 3 of us stayed in Zanzibar for an extra 2 weeks. We quickly became friends with the staff and not only did they take care of us, they took us to the local night clubs, showed us around the island, and showed us the best time of our whole trip. The atmosphere at Mustaphas is totally chill and I loved hanging out on the hammocks and the swings. I loved it here and I can't wait to go back!
