The location is a bit away of most things, but you can always get a tuktuk. We managed to walk to the churches (around 15min).

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our host were very kind and helpful with everything. Mesfin helped us to to go to the bank and gave us all the instructions we needed, and Asni cooked delicious breakfast for us everyday (eggs and pancake, which can be a rest if you are tired of injeera). The place is very calm and silent, qith the sounds of the birds...

The bare wires in the electric shower are a bit scary!

Asinka the host is very very kind and accommodating. The property is kept exceptionally clean

Everything was as expected and even better.

A small, intimate guesthouse located in a quiet, peaceful area. A few minutes' walk to Lalibela's main attractions. The staff was exceptionally friendly and nice. Kibret and her brother invited us to a traditional Timkat dinner. There was a warm, homely atmosphere there. We were supported in visiting Lalibela by Mesfen. He cooperates with the guesthouse and is able to organize the tourists' stay very well.

Everyone coming to Lalibela should stay in this delightful family run guesthouse. Value for money is second to none. We loved our time here. Rooms and facilities are spotlessly clean, hot water in shower, and very comfortable beds. Breakfast is delicious and you'll likely also get treated to a traditional coffee ceremony. Our host Asinka is a generous person and by the end of our trip felt more like a friend. About a 15min walk to see the churches. We followed their recommendation for guide of the churches and didn't regret it ($30 USD). Airport transfers went smoothly. We didn't do any hiking but they are able to help with that if you'd like to go on a hike. FYI : the cost of ticket to see the churches is now $100USD/ person and there has been no internet in this region for going on 3 months

Normally the staff of hotels know the prices of buses of major routes. One of the staff members took me to the bus stop to buy a bus ticket where I was charged double the amount for the bus which I only realised later. This happened while the staff member was present and he didn't bother negotiating the right rate. I normally expect staff to know such basic details and help their guests avoid getting scammed.

The staff was helpful and arranged my pickup from the airport and was very kind and courteous. The room was also very good for the money I paid. Breakfast and dinner were great.

Nothing. Everything is enjoyable about Mini Libela Guesthouse.

Birtukan and Mesfen were very welcoming. Without asking anything, Mesfen came to pick us up at the bus station, and Birtukan offered us a coffee and a the. During our whole stay, Birtukan, her sister and Mesfen were always here to maje sure everything was okay. Mesfen provides us a nice guide (Mule) to take us through the churches complex and he arranged our departure with a bus. The last evening Birtukan greated us with a nice farewell dinner. The room is big and very clean. Toilets and bathroom are very clean too. The garden is very enjoyable and the location of the guest house is perfect, very close to the churches and the heart of the city.

Sometimes there were no electricity but probably it was bigger problem, not the hotel fault.

The room was clean and cosy. When we came to Lalibela the taxi was waiting for us on airport, even if we didn't order it before. Everything was organised perfectly. The hosts were really nice and helpful. Toilet also was clean, WiFi was fast. Good place for two days stay.

The light in the shared shower room was not working very well when I was there.

I had a really good time staying at Mini Lalibela Guesthouse. Although in the map it is not located in the city center, it is practically close to all the important places where you can arrive in 10-15 minutes by foot: city center, churches and bus station. The girls who take care of the place always make sure you have a pleasant stay with clean room/bathroom and nice breakfast (on the last day they even invited me a dinner). As well as a safe stay with a security guard at night. Also, I did a church-guided tour with a very decent and informative guide named, Mule. I appreciate his knowledge and manners a lot which made my visit to Lalibela very pleasantly memorable. Other excursions like hiking (I did with Gashaw, a joyful mountain guide) are also possible to do through the organization of the guesthouse or Mesfin, who will help you out with anything.

The sisters at Mini Lalibela were very kind and even performed a coffee ceremony for us and prepared some food one evening. We found the space to be clean, comfortable, and quiet, and enjoyed our stay in Lalibela.
