Great location in Lalibela, was able to walk everywhere to see the stone churches. Was quiet and the staff was very helpful with anything I needed. One thing to remember is Lalibela is without power at the moment, so Sora had a small generator that ran for 3-4 hours a day which was enough to charge my devices. However, it means a current lack of hot water, though plenty of water to clean with as needed. I would recommend staying there and might revisit when I return to the area.

Great location, service and generally a fantastic hotel with amazing views.

Good hotel, recently renovated, all the rooms are mountain view, restaurant is good. Breakfast only has very limited options.

great views, good spot for sunsets and for watching the birds riding the thermals, very friendly staff, reception able to recommend guides (in this case the excellent Muluye Tsegaw - Muluye_tsegaw @ yahoo.com who runs Zaglo Ethiopia www.zagloethiopiatours.com). Food wasn't amazing, but there are a number of options in the and around the town.

my husband and I had a lovely time, beautiful view from our room where we could read and have coffee in the morning. stunning view for sundowners and breakfast at the restaurant, very friendly staff who helped connect us with a guide to tour the local churches.

Sora Lodge is a lovely place to stay in Lalibela. It’s far enough away from the major tourist center to be quiet and calm, with beautiful views of the mountains. Still, everything is easily accessible. The service was excellent and we would definitely recommend this.

Everything ideal. Very clean and modern, amazing views, very good restaurant, walking distance to the historic sites

They didn't have any record of our booking with hotels.com when we arrived, which scared us; but they then gave us much better rooms than we had booked, which more than made up for it. Having said that, they claim that they often don't receive emails from hotels.com, so I would advise you to contact them independently to verify that they have a record of your booking. Beautiful rooms, very stylish and elegant, hot water, stunning views over the valley. Service in restaurant is great, very friendly and helpful, but food a bit hit and miss

For Entebbe, look for a place that has air conditioning. The al fresca dining is nice, but if it's raining everyone will be crowded into the dining room.

I stayed at Sora Lodge for 3 nights in November and was perfectly happy. Airport pickup and return (shared shuttle, 100 birr) were smooth, check in even more so. The lodge has wonderful views whether you are in your tukul, restaurant, reception or outside bar, the sunsets are gorgeous. Wifi is available at the reception. Staff was always friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a great mix of Ethiopian and western foods. Sora also arranged my guide, Alex Geta, whatsapp +251 92 262 7352. He was very professional, happy to share facts and legends about Lalibela's history and also happy to give me a hand when climbing up or down. I believe most people spend a single day in Lalibela and visit the in-town churches, which are truly mind-boggling. As I had more time, I also spent an afternoon visiting Asheton Maryam (about 45 minutes from town) and a full day trip to visit 4 of the Bilbilla Circuit churches, all with Alex and a driver arranged by Sora. These trips give you a better idea how beautiful the landscape is, how people live and the opportunity to meet the priests of these less-visited churches. My Lalibela suggestion would be to spend 2 full days, one for in-town churches and one for a side trip of your choice.

Excellent place to experience this beautiful town in comfort. Very helpful staff, good English, and inviting. It's not the cheapest place in Lalibella but definitely worth staying here. All historical sites within walking distance, and via the lodge we'll arrange an excellent guide. Aley is an enthusiastic guide with a lot of knowledge. It was a true pleasure to be guided by him for the entire day.

We enjoyed our stay at Sora Lodge for the most part. The staff were friendly in the restaurant and the food was tasty. The best thing about Sora has to be the views which are spectacular from the restaurant, terrace and garden, with vultures swooping around. The room was comfortable, with a nice balcony, however the shower wasn't working when we arrived and never really picked up much, although we did report this and they said they had fixed it (it was a little better the second morning). Mornings start early in Lalibela due to the chanting from the churches (at around 3.30am) but that is part of the experience. If you are visiting the sites at Lalibela, it is a convenient place to stay and you could walk to see the churches, although we didn't and we were glad of being driven there due to the high altitude. It has to be said, that Sora Lodge was one of the better hotels we stayed in during our trip around Ethiopia and it seemed also to be one of the better ones in Lalibela itself. It represents reasonable value for money.

It was an amazing experience , though a short stay. The view and room cleanliness was peerless not to mention the Curteous and helpful and super friendly staff . The welcome coffee and Kassitu , the coffee maker ,made my stay unforgettable . I am looking forward to come back for longer stay !!

The Sora Lodge staff were excellent. Very kind, helpful and accommodating. The lodge was very well maintained, and clean. The only upgrades that I will suggest is adding air conditioning, televisions and upgrading the wifi in each rooms. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

We had a lovely stay at peaceful Sora Lodge with beautiful views and sunsets and nice friendly staff.

Best place we ever stayed, fabulous views, friendly staff and good wholesome food at reasonable rayes

This is the best or second best hotel in Lalibela and has a great view. Unfortunately everything else is rough. Rooms are clean enough but beds and pillows are torturous. Food selection specially at breakfast is minimal.

I stayed for one day in Sora Lodge, and it was very pleasant: smooth pick-up and drop-off at the airport (100 birr, about little more than $4, each way), clean room with beautiful view both for sunrise and sunset, friendly and helpful staff, and a decent restaurant with good traditional Ethiopian food options and some German dishes.

The lodge is a small hotel situated on a hill with a breathtaking view of the mountains and valley. Very good service and friendly staff. Try to get a room on the 3rd floor to have a great view from the room balcony. Also the lodge has nice traditional room overlooking the valley. Hotly recommended.
