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.
Nothing really.

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

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.
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.

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

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)

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!
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.

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

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.
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.

- Friendly and helpful staff
- Transfer from/to the airport at a good price
- The lovely authentic interior of the room
- Nice restaurant in the territory of the hotel
- Big balcony
- Good location closed to the churches
- They collaborate with a tour agency, and you can book tours on the ground. Our guide Telake organized for us a wonderful two days tour of the Lalibella churches. My wife and I found it very interesting, and I'd recommend Telake
- Mosquito net can be a really good improvement
- Wi-Fi was good only at nights (in other time connection was really poor or absent)
