There wasn't anything I didnt like. The view was amazing. The room was very good, everything worked. The staff was very very nice and accommodating. If there was anything I needed they tried very hard to get it. Excellent service. No safety issues. Good food and coffee. Free breakfast buffet.

Liked: Cleanliness

Basic service, nice view.

Being in the south of Ethiopia, this is one of the best you can find. The pool is in acceptable condition (compared to the other hotels that have pool also in the area). Breakfast is limited, pest control around the premises seems to be luxury, good thing there are mosquito nets on the beds. As anything in Ethiopia, it is too expensive for what you are getting (compared to all surrounding countries, S.Africa, etc).

So so hotel

Dining facility is good, view unbeatable but rooms are so-so. Walls are thin so you can hear your next door neighbors snore, their babies cry throughout the night, etc. Doors also dont fit their frames correctly allowing mosquitoes to come in and out of your room. Internet is only availabe in the dining facility and reception area.

Amazing hotel!

The Lodge is a jewel in Arba Minch and it offers visitors anything and everything they may want, whether it is a relaxing break or a stepping stone to explore the area. The staff is incredibly helpful and the rooms are truly beautiful, inviting you to relax and enjoy yourself!

This place had a great view. The restaurant and buffet were excellent. They were able to arrange a great tour of Lake Chamo. However, they resisted my attempts to arrange a tour within the Nechsar National Park, which unfortunately is not worthy of a destination.

Nice view

The view can't be beat. The room is nice enough with a hot shower (after a bit of negotiation) and a TV with a couple of English channels. The service is generally good and some of the staff went out of their way to be helpful. But, the advertising for the room is a bit misleading. I booked a room with a lake view but got a room that looked at other rooms and had to pay more in cash for an upgrade. There is only wifi available in the lobby.

Hôtel a éviter à tout prix !!! J'ai réservé pour 3 nuits mais je ne suis resté qu'une seule nuit. Les prestations ne sont pas celles annoncées (logement inadapté et insalubre, nourriture avarié et choix très limité, piscine sale et fermée toute la journée du mercredi ) après la première nuit mes enfants se sont réveillés avec une centaine de piqûres de moustiques et de puces de lit . J'ai demandé à quitter l'hôtel et a me faire rembourser les deux nuits non prises mais refus du gérant. J'ai loué donc deux nuits dans l'hôtel le "Hailé" et c'était parfait je vais essayer de contacter Expedia France pour engager une procédure de remboursement des deux nuits non prises au "paradise hôtel"...a suivre

Faux paradis

On a réservé pour notre dernière nuit à 79€ ! Ce qui est très cher pour l’Éthiopie . On s’attendait au paradise ! Ça n’a pas été le cas! après multes discussions avec les différents managers , on à réussi à obtenir une chambre plutôt jolie face au lac. Mais sans confort . La piscine sale, joli restaurant et tres belle vue .

Nos Pusieron en una habitación de dos cuando éramos tres personas porque según niños expedía solo había pagado 82 $ cuando mi reserva era de 94 €. Perdimos más de dos horas discutiendo hasta conseguir la tercera cama. No es nuestro problema lo que expedía le cobra al Hotel. Tuve que enseñar mi extracto bancario para que comprobarán que había pagado 94 €

Paradise lodge is in many respects a paridise

Fantastic position at the side of Rift walley with wiew over the lakes and forrest. Very nice and service minded crew. A little draw-back was the moskitos that found their way through the net over the bed, nomatter how I arranged it, and fiested on my blood.
