Family hotels and homes in Lalībela

Kacper Poland

Yohannes is the most hospitable owner of any place I have ever visited in my life. You really feel like staying with your family. Everyone is very caring, helpful and friendly. The room was spacious, the bed super soft and comfortable, the breakfast delicious and diverse. 100% a place I would recommend!

My stay at Halle was great! My room was clean, spacious, quiet, and had a phenomenal sunset view. The bed was very comfortable as well. I travelled solo to Lalibela and this hotel felt very safe. The hotel manager Belay was very responsive to all my questions/concerns and helped me with everything I needed during my stay from walking me to where I wanted to go to lending me an electrical adapter. The hotel itself is around 5-7 minute tuk tuk ride from the churches (so rather close but away from the town center so it’s quiet and peaceful). I would definitely stay here again!

The best room that we had in Ethiopia, great view. We received a free upgrade, but it worth it to choose the more expensive rooms. The restaurant is very good and the sunset and sunrise over the valley are incredible, Choose also the pick up from the airport, it's easy. Also the offer guide service for churches which I recommend.

Tedy (owner) and family are very friendly and very helpful. The rooms are very modern and well furnished, modern bathroom, hot water. Breakfast is filling and tasty, eaten in a gazebo. Tedy helped with last minute flight changes including paying for them while we were out of town which we then paid him for on our return. There are 2-3 places to eat very close by, especially recommend Kana.

I loved staying at Fikir and Ray. The lodge itself is beautiful, and my room had lovely views towards the country side. It is located about 15 mins by foot from Lalibela's central area. The hotel arranged my transport from/to the airport, and my guide (Girma) met me there and was extremely helpful throughout my stay both with activities in Lalibela and a person problem I had. The owner, Abebe, also helped me with all the above and is extremely kind. Breakfast was at a nearby sister hotel, which also provided wifi as there are some problems with local connections. The staff at both hotels were incredibly kind and I would, and already have, recommended this to friends.

We are American expats that have lived in Ethiopia for three years now. We stayed at the Panorama in December 2019 and was floored by the view, the staff, and the incredible value for the price. I had family visiting here this Summer and I made it a point to return to Lalibela and the Panorama if it was at all possible post both Covid and the political situation. We knew going in that the entire city would not have power. We were only the second guests they have had since all that has happened, and they couldn't have been more accommodating for us. They do have their own generator and ran the power for about four hours a day for meals, hot showers, and to charge your electronic devices. The staff were very communicative on when those times would be so you could plan ahead accordingly. We went during the fasting season, and the meals were excellent. I would 10/10 recommend staying here to anyone that would ask me. They are doing the absolute best that is possible in a situation that at most could be described as trying for the people of that region. I hope to be able to go back again and sit on a saddle on the terrace overlooking the breathtaking view, and raise a bottle of St. George when times are better and the hotel is back up and running at full speed. Thank you for making our trip as comfortable as we could have hoped.
