As the name implies, Robinson's is a tropical low-tech/no-tech paradise. I stayed here with my (Dutch) parents, brother, sister in law and my teenage niece and nephew for two weeks and would have stayed forever if we could have. I was worried that the teenagers (avid facebookers & twitterers) would hate it because there is no electricity, but they loved... More

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip and really liked this place. We had the 'tree house' which was right next to the beach and looked out at sea. The bungalows have a thatched roof and are open at the front, so it's a real treat to fall asleep to the sound of the sea.... More

We were all blown away by how amazing this hotel was... we couldn't have asked for anything more. It's plainly adverstised as... More

I've been coming to Zanzibar for 17 years and this was a great experience. Eddie and Ann were awesome in providing a great stay. Check it out!

I've stayed two times at this place and both times really liked it. It is quite close to perfect. Basic, no electricity, but nice and clean rooms, you are literally on the beach, and the athmosphere is perfect. The only thing ir to be relaxed is you don't get want you book (both times I got different styles of rooms... More

I must say that Robinsons is living up to its promise. Totally relaxed with a nice shady area off the beach. The rooms are basic but very clean. Both Ann and Eddie were very hospitable and friendly. The breakfast with wonderful fresh fruit and french toast and in the evenings very tasty fresh fish. If you do not need all... More

If you’re not afraid to live without electricity and extra comforts; this is your place to go. The location is very nice and quiet. There are some restaurants and bars in walking distance. Owners are very friendly.

We spent three nights at Robinson's Place a few weeks ago. It has to rate as the best value for money and most relaxing place in Bwejuu. We stayed in Robinson's house, where the room is open on one side and overlooks the beach approx 5m away. There is no electricity however every evening many oil lamps are lit for... More

Before visiting check what room is available. (Some establishments in Zanzibar will tell you about the location of your room but this one did not). We arrived to find that we had been given a room at the back close to the road. There is no point in visiting to stay in this room. Aside from the fact that its... More
