This is one of the best hotels I've visited in Ethiopia - far better than what is available in most towns outside Addis. Details are catalogued thoroughly in older reviews: spectacular views from every room, unique modern architecture, great food, etc. Two additional notes: 1) I had no trouble booking a room via email. 2) Hotel has complimentary airport transfer... more

This hotel was booked for me by a reliable travel agency in Addis. The reservation was confirmed and they received a voucher. However, when we arrived we were told they had no record of the booking. Curiously the entire place had been reserved by a large tour group. After talking to the owner it became clear to me that they... more

The hotel is at the edge of Lalibela and perched high above the valley with amazing views. From our balcony at night there wasn't one visible artificial light, just the moon casting shadows and lots of stars. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Our guide, arranged through the hotel, was fantastic. more

This contemporary wood and glass hotel hangs off the edge of the mountains at the end of the Lalibela road, affording the most astounding views of the surrounding area and the most incredible sunsets I saw anywhere in the country during my 22 day stay. The rooms were big and clean, the bathroom was modern and always had hot water,... more

This new hotel at the end of town has breathtaking views of the highlands and of the town of Lalibela. The building and the rooms are marvellous. The only problem are the power cuts, so be prepared to chat and eat by candlelight. They told us there would be a generator soon, but you can't be sure. Keeping the lack... more

The hotel certainly has the view from the top of the mountains! Rooms were comfortable with balconies. Dining room was spacious and meals were good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. One room had a malfunctioning shower and our friends were moved easily to another room. Lalibela town is poor and its streets are rough; the hotel was a welcome... more

We visited Lalibela for two nights having visited Awassa and Addis Ababa. The hotel was recommended by a local guide. It is situated at the edge of the plateau on which the old village is based. The views west at sunset and sunrise are outstanding. The hotel is a 10 min walk from the centre of the town and 15... more

I live in Stockholm and the first time I was in Lalibela with my wife and three children, the hotel was under construction. This year i January I had the possibility to stay four lovely nights in this hotel. And the whole thing was beyond my imagination. The two young owners and founders Mr. Metasebia and Mr. Getachew have done... more
