Arriving, it looks old. It is old. But it kept all the charm of the early days. With a service and food quality like not often found in Ethiopia. Relaxing terrace and even a snake eagle in the garden, eating...... a snake. Check that your water is hot in the room. All other hotels on the cliff were looking like... More

We were travelling in Ethiopia for more than a month and this hotel gave us one of the best impressions from this country. We stayed there twice, 6 day in total. Before Bekele Mola we checked out some shick hotel next to it but it was double the price. We bargained and got the price of locals which was around... More

It should not be called Lake Langano as that is at another place than Arba Minch. The Bekele Mola hotel was clean, basic, with mosquito netting, all rooms with own toilet and shower, friendly service and excellent food. The terrace, overlooking the two lakes and the forest below with it's 40 springs, is its best asset. Relaxing atmosphere, far away... More

I have stated here several times and in all honestly it gets worse each time. The early morning views are glorious and really this is all it has to offer. Rooms are barely cleaned, service is almost non-existent, food is very basic and the staff lack interest and motivation! The hotel should and could be prestigious or at least have... More

The hotel has a simple structure, with a beautiful panoramic view. The rooms are small but comfortable. Excellent quality / price ratio. I arrived at Bekele Mola after visiting other facilities the most popular .. but where there was no water

As mentioned in the title, the location can't be beat, even if the rooms themselves don't have the views. it's about a ten minute walk from the last minivan stop, quiet, with views (from the cafe) over Lakes Abaya and Chomo, right above the springs. Lots of baboons hang around as well. The rooms are large enough, and clean enough,... More

I've stayed twice at this quiet hotel on the far outskirts of town and enjoyed both visits. The rooms are large and clean and arranged in small concrete terraces, they do vary, some are a little more worn than others. The terraces stand in large, not particularly attractive grounds (sparse grass, a few shrubs), with watchmen attending to security at... More

Quite far from the centre but that is an advantage. Bungalows are in a good condition, rooms are spacy and have comfortable beds.The problem is that there was no electricity and also water, at the time I stayed in. They provided water in plastic buckets so it was possible to take a "shower". The hotel has very nice restaurant with... More

Stayed 1 night in this hotel, because 2 upscale hotels - Paradise Lodge and Swaine lodge - didn't have rooms. It was a basic hotel. Could be suitable, if not so many mosquitoes in the room and in the bathroom... Me and my friend didn't even dare to remove our cloth for a sleep amid fears of mosquitoe bites. It... More
