Rustgevend en relaxed
Pros:

Personeel is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam! Hebben ons vaker geholpen met tours en het regelen van een tuk tuk of taxi. Ook het ontbijt was iets om elke ochtend naar uit te kijken, erg goed verzorgd!
Het zwembad was ook top, einde van de dag wat meer in de schaduw. Schoonmakers waren supersnel en secuur en de kamer was ook erg mooi! Buiten nog een bankje om te zitten ook dus top!

Cons:

De gym kan wel iets meer uitbreiding gebruiken. Voor een paar oefeningen oké maar je moet wel erg creatief zijn. Het is ongeveer 2x2 meter. Op de foto’s online leek het wel groter, met name het zwembad wat zonde is want dat is niet nodig omdat het er gewoon mooi uit ziet. De wifi viel er regelmatig kort uit en was sowieso geen hele sterke verbinding. Voor berichtjes etc prima maar dingen downloaden of filmpjes bekijken minder.

The best hotel in Paje!
Pros:

The Garden is an absolute gem in the heart of Paje, we wish we could've stayed here longer!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, we felt very looked after!

The breakfast/lunch options were absolutely delicious, fresh and healthy.

The rooms were peaceful and so beautifully designed, I didn't want to leave! We also really loved using the pool and the yoga room.

It was very easy to organise activities and transport through the hotel. Maluum Cave was in walking/tuk tuk distance which was one of the highlights of our stay.

Paje beach is beautiful but a bit overwhelming, so we were delighted to have such a beautiful and calm hotel to return to!

Cons:

The wifi didn't work for quite a lot of our stay. There were also frequent power outages but this is just to be expected in Zanzibar and out of the hotel's control!

On one night my mini fridge kept jumping around every time the power kept flickering back on (which was happening every few minutes). This was very loud and completely stopped me from sleeping, so I had to bunk in my family's second room for the night. The next day the team identified the problem and disconnected the fridge.

Beautiful little hotel
Pros:

The hotel room is gorgeous. The pool area and dining area are also lovely. They offer a great selection at breakfast, all freshly prepared to order. The staff are so friendly and helpful, helping me to find places to eat, the beach and getting taxis and tuk tuks.

Cons:

My bathroom did smell, but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't use it and I just kept the bathroom door closed. It's not a deal breaker, the bathroom was still lovely.

Rewelacja
Pros:

Przemiły personel, pyszne śniadania szczególnie tosty bananowe ❤️. Atmosfera wprowadzana przez pracowników dzięki której czujesz się jak w domu . Dostępność wspólnej kuchni jeden z największych plusów szczególnie jak masz małe dziecko. Kino letnie puszczane na tyłach obiektu dla dzieciaków z okolicy i dla gości Petarda, tego jeszcze nie widziałam w hotelach jak ten . Bardziej nazwałabym to Domem gościnnym jak hotelem ❤️ bo czujesz się jak w domu . Piękny ogród i duży dostępny salon dla wszystkich gdzie możesz pograć w gry i spędzić czas z ludźmi. Pokoje bardzo duże i przestronne . Na pewno ty wrócimy 🫶🫶🫶 aa no i panele słoneczne dzięki którym nie wysiadał prąd

Cons:

Good stay in Paje
Pros:

Schöne, saubere und gepflegte Unterkunft mit tollem Pool und modern eingerichteten Zimmern.

Cons:

Das Hotel könnte etwas näher am Meer liegen und ist mit den verfügbaren Informationen zudem nicht ganz leicht zu finden. Die Freundlichkeit des Personals war darüber hinaus OK, aber von spezieller Herzlichkeit oder Hilfsbereitschaft, wie in anderen Bewertungen erwähnt, konnte ich persönlich wenig spüren.

Good value for money
Pros:

Beautilful room and pool, also good location, lots of nature.

Cons:

We had a feeling like we are staying at someone’s place, the staff wasn’t attentive and didn’t really make us feel welcomed, except the night guard who was really nice.

Escapade reposante au milieu de Paje!
Pros:

L'environnement est très reposant, le petit-déjeuner de qualité et Haji est un rayon de soleil.

Cons:

Le système avec l'eau potable dans les chambres. Une bouteille en verre devrait être remplie et laisser dans la chambre.
