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.

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).

Pรฉsimo. Hotel sucio y mal mantenido. Personal lento y no calificado. El lugar tiene una vista hermosa del lago pero las habitaciones y articulos de la misma son viejos, sucios y algunos no funcionan. No volverรฉ definitivamente hay mejores opciones.

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.

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.
