Reviews of Mini Lalibela Guest House

Asenka was splendid and the others as well, Im very grateful for their attentive presence. Couldn't have been better.

I fell ill and spent a day in bed, but I was very well taken care of.

Great hostess, very clean, she even made dinner for us. Nice terrace, good breakfast. I recommend it

Great breakfast and very helpful staff - thanks again we really enjoyed our stay. Good recommendations for things to do

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

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

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

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.

Everything was as expected and even better.

+++Amazingly hospitable locals as hosts ++Offered coffee and even a local delicious dinner + Clean OBS At the time of visit (jan24) locals very e x t r e m e l y pushy up to harassing in the rock churches and the streets towards me as a foreigner pleading money for various motives - the guest house was a nice relief and getaway from that!

-no hot water, water flow minimal

Fantastic! The owner Birtukal, was a lovely host. She made a great breakfast for me 3 days in a row and treated me to a coffee ceremony as well. The hotel also arranged for an airport shuttle both times. Through the hotel I was also able to arrange a guide for the churches and trekking. Both guides they arranged for me were fantastic. Great value. Highly recommend!

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

Staff was friendly. Woman owned & run business. Breakfast was delicious. Coffee and tea were so good. Kind hosts would absolutely stay again.

The hosts are amazing and welcoming. The location is a walking distance to the churches. And they make great breakfast.

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.

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.

Mini Lalibela Guesthouse is a great place to stay, perfectly located, clean and affordable. Birtukan the owner is adorable, very professional and really care of customers. I highly recommend it.

We like a lot the crew in charge of the guest house. They were very kind and always talking care of us. Great people, you feel like a home. They enven invite US to a coffe ceremony. Anyway, the instalations were perfect and clean too. And delicious breakfast with honey from Lalibela.Very very good qualitat/prize.

best experience in Ethiopia,specially the coffee and food which the host provided!

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.

Nothing. Everything is enjoyable about Mini Libela Guesthouse.

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.

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

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

The host was just amazing, she was so careing, friendly, polite and welcoming. Everything perfect. I highly recommend.

Use the google maps location, not the booking location of the accommodation

Pick up from the airport was organized that was really helpful, the rooms were clean, comfortable beds and a delicious tradition food.

Very clean accommodation, close to the city centre and amazing hosts!

none!

The boss is a very nice lady, and Misfin, who was in charge of me, took every opportunity to give a hand. It was a great time in Lalibela, I wish them well
