This hotel location is right near the city center and close to the rock churches. The staff is very warm and accomodating with clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms. My room had a beautiful terrace overlooking the city and my bed was big and comfortable. Breakfast was on their terrace with diverse choices from a menu. I do not hesitate to recommend this establishment as all my needs were met and any questions i had promptly addressed and answered. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nothing really.

Superbly located just off the town square and a 3 minute walk from the rock hewn churches. Lovely friendly staff who provided a lovely welcome with coffee on arrival. Comfortable room. Breakfast included in price.

Electrical plugs were poorly placed in the room

Great place to stay, very warm welcome from the staff. Gashew at the reception was very polite and helped arrange the pickup to the airport. He also always made sure that everything was ok (And it was) Birhan, the manager is such a kind soul, he helped a lot, even when I was sick, during my whole stay in Lalibela. He's the fun cheerful type of guy and he made my stay much better. The place is super clean, with a good bathroom, a comfortable bed, a good view of the surrounding mountains. It's mostly quiet (Except in the morning where there often are religious events around) The location is also perfect for visiting the city and its surroundings, the churches are five minutes away, same for the "city center" (¿not sure?) where all the banks and ATM are located. Otherwise the small restaurant under the guest house is one of the best in town for Farenjis. The food quality is good and it's not too overpriced (Especially considering the other options in town), with good international options (But also Injera) I definitely recommend this place!

I am a backpacker and I sometimes need to have laundry done. I thought $10 for laundry was a little high.

Nice place. My room was very nice, lots of space, very clean, the bed was comfortable and the hot shower was great. Decorated nicely. Gashaw and the rest of the staff are very helpful.

The location close to shops and churches makes it a bit noisy in the morning. And as soon as you step out you're approached by men who wants to "help" you, guide you, or talks to you, follow you in the street. They don't offer free airport pick up. But they'll arrange it for 150 Birr one way.

The location is very good. Only a few minute walk to the ticket office and 10 min walk to St George's church. There's a restaurant that serves good food. The view from the rooms in the back is amazing. The double bed room is very spacious and has a beautiful interior. Hot water 24/4. And the wifi worked well when the power was working.

A quick walk to the stone churches from here. Great staff. Very good breakfast. A small fridge would make the room perfect.

Great value guesthouse. Located very close to the churches. Clean room, with a nice comfortable bed, and a good view from the balcony. Loved the rooftop terrace, great spot to sit and have a beer. Staff were amazing, nothing was to much trouble.

excellent location, very clean, staff were fantastic. The hotelier organised our tuktuk when we left for the bus at 5am, and got our breakfast prepared the night before. They gave really good advice on seeing the churches. The doorman was also really sweet, and made sure we single females were safe! Excellent service and wonderful stay. The view was also perfect overlooking the town and hills.

Walking distance to the churches! Breakfast, lunch, and coffee/tea available at the restaurant below the hotel, in the same building. Good place to stay for visiting the lalibela. (ATMs are not far away)

We had two rooms and brought bedbugs from one of them - the mattress needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Also, pillows were big and hard, not comfortable for sleeping; replacing each with eg two smaller ones would do the trick.

A nice and welcoming guest house, with excellent communication prior to the trip and kind people working there. Great location - just a few minutes down the street to the entrance to the church complex. All churches, the market, the hills, some of the restaurants are easy walking distance. Breakfast is served next door downstairs, a nice small cafe - try their egg sandwiches! Obviously, there is no luxury, especially these days when electricity (generator) is only turned on from 6:30 till 10pm and water barely trickles (but enough for a refreshing shower) - so expectations have to be set right, and then it's all ok. The reception will charge your devices if needed outside the generator hours. They also organize airport pick up and the tours, so ask them - worked out very well for us!

it is really close to the rock churches and also tuk tuks so youll be close to transportation. and around there there is also a traditional clothing shop called “Girma traditional store” and you can get a custom made clothing which i really enjoyed

They should tell guests on arrival about hot water and electricity issues. Although I understand they are improving from the problrms they had from TPLF occupation. International guests need coffee and milk in the mornings.

Rustic guest house. Rooms were very clean and decorated nice Gashaw on reception was a lovely welcoming guy. He really knows how to treat international guests. He is a real credit to the guest house. He gave us WIFI at night to take to the room which was lovely of him The restraunt next door was good Ethiopian menu and had nice cakes, and thank god it was there as there is nowhere else to eat. The man who's sister owns it was very helpful to me and speaks good English. He was a nice guy who looks after the hotel guests. He Invited me to watch the england football ⚽️ It was safe to leave valuables in the hotel. And the people all around the hotel provided excellent security. I felt safe and secure there.
