Eden Paradise Zanzibar

eden paradise er er super dejligt lille hotel med en dejlig have og få minutter til stranden. jeg har boet her i en hel måned og har nydt mit ophold her. der er dejligt rent og en mega hyggelig lille paradis have. sandra gjorde alt hvad hun kunne når strømmen af og til går. og det gør den tit- men det gør den overalt på zanzibar. der var to piger ansat til rengøring og madlavning og jeg havde intet at klage over. et dejligt lille hjørne i michamvi og stille og roligt sted.

I booked the hotel for thirty days and ended leaving after 4 days. The pictures may look pretty and filtered, and the name sounds wonderful. But the experience was not, this place should be named Eden Encampment. How this is labeled as a 3 star hotel is beyond me. This is at most a 1 star hotel on its best day. It was advertised on hotel.com as having free wifi, to my dismay there was NO WIFI. The owner tried to play it off by providing me with a sim card 2 days later, I was charged for loading data on it for some internet. I booked a queen bed on the 2nd floor, and was put on the first floor with a full bed. The wooden bed frame itself makes you feel claustrophobic, I can reach both ends from head to toe, and I am only 5'6". There is only a ceiling fan in the room, and often times there is blackouts in the city. One night the power went off for at least 6 hours, leaving for a sweltering night without the fan. The breaker box was also outside the wall of my room, making it more intrusive everytime the maintenance guy reset it. The shower had barely a trickle for water pressure. The toilet kept flowing past the fill line, I would have to adjust and wiggle the fill sensor. Only the owner has the only key to the front entrance, they will sometimes open it when they are there, most of the times it's closed. You will have to use the backdoor. It leads to the beach about 160 meters away through a narrow alleyway.

Det ble veldig varmt på rommet om natten. Husk det er ingen aircondition. Takviften går sakte fart om natten pga. lav spenning.

Close to a nice beach

No wifi at any time in any location. They offered hotspot, but this was not convenient. Constant blackouts. No power in water so could not shower most times of the day. Lots of mosquitoes. Rooms were unpleasant. Outrageously over-priced and sub-standard food which was in small portions and left us unsatisfied and still hungry. Would NOT recommend.

The room was very clean and cozy with a comfortable bed. It’s very close to the beach which is great. I was welcomed by the nice, helpful and friendly staff. I really enjoyed my time in Eden Paradise, it was like living in a little forest full of beautiful plants! :)

The lack of WiFi for my whole stay

Super friendly staff and a lovley location

Lovely little place just one or two minutes from a nice peaceful beach. Really friendly and helpful owners. Nice comfy room with good mosquito nets. We had a delicious meal here one night as well.

There's no air conditioning - but we knew this as it's clear from the description, and for the price it's reasonable not to expect air con! The only problem - which is out of the owners' hands - is that there are frequent power cuts, often in the night, so the fan stops working and it can get very hot. I spoke to someone staying at one of the more expensive hotels on the beach & they said they had the same problem!

Exterior decoration and the staff

Problem with the bedroom booked ! The bedroom was to small ( no space for walking and for the luggage ), no air conditioning, problem of water and electricity, no shampoo, breakfast too simple.

The guest house is only a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff and owners are very friendly and quick to provide service. The breakfast was delicious and the room itself good value for the price.

The water pressure in my room wasn't very regular but the owner said the problem would be fixed since as soon as possible.

The hotel was exactly I was looking for: boutique hotel in the middle of nature, very clean, near by the beach, restaurants & beach bars. The blue lagoon is 10 minutes away from the hotel. Sandra, the owner, is very welcoming, she makes you feel at home. I have really enjoyed my stay there, I ll recommend it a lot
