“Clear and useful communication before check in including transport options and tours. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing view from the room. Best value for money.”
“Panoramic View Hotel Lalibela has a great location and superb views! The rooms are clean, and the food and service are excellent.
The highlight of my stay was definitely my private tour with Mequanint — the best tour guide in Lalibela! He showed me around the 11 rock-hewn churches in just two hours — a new Guinness World Record in the 8th Wonders of the World!
I strongly recommend both the hotel and Mequanint as a guide if you visit Lalibela (Ethiopia).”
“The personnel was very helpful and supportive, despite some language issues (limited command of English). Regardless of problems with electricity supply, hot water was available throughout the entire stay. Convenient location for visits to Lalibela churches, tasty breakfasts and good views from the balcony.”
“The hotel is modern, but full of character. Very spacious rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is quite close to the rock-hewn churches, so very convenient. The guide was great.”
“Our room was comfortable and very nicely decorated. The staff were very attentive and treated us like family. The food is delicious and affordable. There is a delightful gift shop. The manager organised two excellent day tours. He also went above and beyond to prepare a surprise for our wedding anniversary. The views from the balcony are stunning.”
“Absolutely loved my stay at honey Land hotel! The hotel was super clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s in a great location close to everything I wanted to see in Lalibela. They even helped me arrange transportation, and tour for Lalibela churches and surrounding which made things so easy. I felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend staying honey Land Hotel!!”
“Throughly enjoyed staying at the Amba Lodge. Gashaw and family were warm and wonderful hosts. Room was simple, clean and comfortable with the most amazing view from the terrace.
The meals served at the Lodge are generous portions and we started the day with healthy fruits and honey.
Gashaw picked us up at the airport and arranged all the visit itinerary.
We also enjoyed a lovely short trek up at the Asheton Maryam monastery for some fantastic views with Gashaw as guide. We really appreciate that Gashaw never sells us anything we did not want. We had a peaceful trip without worrying about anything.”
“I spent two nights at Zan-Seyoum last week and immensely enjoyed the experience. The rooms are quite basic but clean, functional, and, for the price charged, offer tremendous value. The views are very nice too.
The internet is the area was not working but Yohannes proactively came up with a creative solution---installing a SIM card in each guest's phone to allow you to have unlimited internet access both at the hotel and while you roam in Ethiopia. (The telecom I used in Addis Ababa, Safaricom, does not offer coverage in Lalibela so this was a win-win for me.)
The breakfasts were sensational too. I am not a breakfast person so if I rave about them you know how yummy they are!
Finally, Yohannes is a very enthusiastic, charismatic character who is fun to interact with. He alone is reason enough to book a stay at his guest house.”
“Desta and his family, and Eshetu are the best welcoming hosts I ever stayed with. Helping with everything. The place feels like home, food is amazing, view, We couldnt have chosen better.”
“Great value within 10 minutes of all the churches. Quiet stay. I hadn't booked anything in advance, but they came to pick me up at the airport to my surprise and helped me coordinate everything. I would definitely suggest staying here for a more authentic experience.”
