Schöne Natur, schwierige Lage
Pros:

abgelegen, ruhige Lage und schöne Natur.
Das Personal war sehr nett. Es hat in unserem Zimmer geregnet und wir konnten problemlos und schnell ein besseres Zimmer bekommen.

Cons:

Das Menü des eigenen Restaurants war leider sehr dünn.

Es gab kein Klimaanlage, nur ein Ventilator. Außerdem gab es die ganze Nacht Stromausfall, sodass man vor Hitze nicht schlafen konnte.

Fantastisch!
Pros:

We hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in de prachtige bungalow met uitzicht op zee. Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en gastvrij, ze doen alles om het je naar de zin te maken. We werden elke dag getrakteerd op een prachtig bed met bloemen decoratie ! Ook complimenten voor de kok, het eten was heerlijk. Het strand is prachtig, Eden Rock is een aanrader!

Beautiful view, bad hotel
Pros:

The property is located in the wonderful place on the rock with ocean view and beautiful beach.

Cons:

So we booked the property for three nights, but unfortunately after one night we left it immediately because of the experience we had. Because it was raining during the night, we had leeks roof, the net on the bed was useless and we got bitten by mosquitoes badly. The room wasn’t clean, there were practically not water pressure in the shower and only good thing was the view from the balcony. The common areas of the hotel was’t pleasant as well or clean and restaurant overpriced. I believe with some love and cmleaniness considering the views this place has it can be very good, but not at this moment.

Beautiful location, nice place, simple accommodation (not luxury), with a good price-value
Pros:

The houses are in a beautiful location, on top of the cliff, with a beautiful view of the ocean.
But it is important to know that there is no direct access to the water from the houses. You have to walk down to the bay between the rocks. You can only swim at only high tide, because the coast is rocky and full of sea urchins. There is no large white sandy beach at this accommodation.
The staff was very kind and helpful.
The accommodation was very flexible, they allowed a very early check-in, I was able to occupy our house at 6 am. And when we left, because we also had a very early departure, they packed us food instead of breakfast.
The food was good (but there wasn't a lot of variety on the menu, and it was the same every day, and in many cases even what was on the menu wasn't available)

Cons:

There is no direct access to the water from the houses. You have to walk down to the bay between the rocks. You can only swim at high tide, because the coast is rocky and full of sea urchins. So there is no large white sandy beach at this accommodation.
There wasn't a lot of variety on the menu, and it was the same every day, and in many cases even what was on the menu wasn't available (but the food was very good)
The drinks are quite expensive, a beer and a juice are 13,000 TZS
There is no air conditioning, only a fan in the room.
There was a power outage every night, and it's okay, this is Africa, but elsewhere they solve it with generators.

Stunning views! Back to nature..
Pros:

The most amazing views and it was so special to be close to the secret beach so we could visit at any time of day or night when the day visitors were not around. The staff were lovely and the loungers on the balcony got a great sea breeze. The tea and coffee on the room were good and the only place I experienced that had a good size coffee mug!! Staff were exceptional.

Cons:

As others have said, this site is VERY rural and a long way from any town. There are island wide problems with power (I agree with not having a generator in this conservation area!) and the buildings are cleverly designed to maximise the sea breeze at night. But with the breeze also comes the insects. There is a mosquito net on the bed and a sheet for cover plus insect spray. However the views in the morning are worth it if you can manage this well..

Vi havde booket og betalt for 6 overnatninger, men valgte at forlade hotellet efter blot 2 nætter og finde et andet sted
Pros:

Personalet gjorde oprigtigt deres bedste med de meget begrænsede ressourcer, de havde til rådighed, og var venlige og imødekommende i deres tilgang.

Cons:

Desværre var opholdet på Eden Rock Hotel det dårligste hotelophold, vi nogensinde har haft. Hotellet fremstår stærkt nedslidt og mangelfuldt vedligeholdt. Madrasserne var slidte, skjoldede og direkte ulækre. Hovedpuderne lugtede kraftigt af gammel, sur sved, og sengetøjet, som engang må have været hvidt, var nu gulligt og så ikke rent ud.
Myggenettet over sengen havde store huller og fungerede derfor ikke efter hensigten. Den sidste morgen vågnede jeg desuden ved, at en stor kakerlak kravlede rundt på myggenettet over sengen – en meget ubehagelig oplevelse.
Allerede ved check-in i hotellets bar var førstehåndsindtrykket meget dårligt: Flere katte lå og sad på bardisken, og én af dem sad direkte med bagdelen i sugerørene, som efterfølgende blev brugt i vores velkomstdrink.
På ankomstdagen havde der været kraftig regn, og elektriciteten fungerede ikke. Efter gentagne forespørgsler blev der tilkaldt en lokal “håndværker”, som forsøgte at løse problemet ved at fjerne et relæ på et anlæg, der tydeligvis havde fået vand – en løsning, der virkede direkte farlig og udgjorde en potentiel brandrisiko.

Hotellets menukort var ekstremt begrænset og samtidig meget dyrt. Baren var desuden udsolgt af helt basale varer som tonic og vand i større flasker.

Sikkerheden på værelserne var også stærkt bekymrende: På ét værelse var der et stort hul i altandækket, resten af gulvbrædderne var rådne, og den ene altandør var ved at falde ud.

schrecklich, Finger weg
Pros:

Katastrophal und unhygienisch. Große Kakerlaken im Zimmer an jeder Ecke, Geckos an Kommoden und Ameisen auf den Gardinen! Sehe dreckige Zimmer ( Bettwäsche ) und winzige, unbequeme Betten. Das Wasser läuft kaum, Duschen ist kaum möglich. Nach der zweiten Nacht und Übelkeit war ich gezwungen auszuschlecken. Der Inhaber des Hotels ist völlig desinteressiert und in keiner Weise lösungsorientiert. Selbst Booking konnte ihn nicht erreichen. Beim Frühstück herrschen furchtbarer hygienischer Zustand: Fliegen und Katzen liegen direkt auf der Theke zwischen den Früchten, die anschließend Gästen serviert werden. Nach jeder Mahlzeit und sogar Getränken hatte ich starke Bauchschmerzen.
Die Lage mag ruhig sein, ist aber komplett abgelegen und vom normalen Leben abgeschnitten. Für mich, Absolut nicht empfehlenswert Finger weg.

Cons:

Alles . Hygiene Wassermangel Essen, Getränke , Sauberkeit Und der Zustand der Zimmer sowohl Ausstattung
