Guest Reviews

• Krzysztof (7/5): Good - 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 room, bathroom and equipment have aged badly and could benefit from renovation. The bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned before our check-in (bathtub, toilet bowl and bathroom floor did not appear cleaned after previous guests). The room had some holes between the door and its threshold, and in balcony windows, through which mosquitoes were able to enter at night. It created some problems, since there were no mosquito nets installed, and persistent electricity disruptions at nights rendered plug-in mosquito repellent useless.
• Evie (8/5): Very good - nice breakfast, really nice staff, great view from the room
• Jolita (8/5): Very good - Great service. The hotel was overall a decent stay, but the water pressure was quite low, making the shower difficult to use. The faucet functionality was tricky, and the water temperature was often cold. However, I understand that this might be due to local conditions. Aside from this, the stay was comfortable, and the service was good.
• Damian860402 (9/5): Lalibella 16-17.01.2025 - A very positive experience, I felt like I was in a three star hotel. Very good location, close to the church complex and to the nearby bars where you can dance and drink local drinks. Everything in the room was fine, a comfortable bed, armchair area and a table, a clothes rack and a luggage rack. In the bathroom there was a bathtub with a stopper and warm water so I took a bath, generally clean and a nice view from the balcony. Electricity and water worked from check-in to check-out (electricity to the minute). In the evening I agreed on breakfast options for the next day and everything was served without a hitch. The service was very nice and helpful. Thank you! :-) No toilet paper (I had my own) but I'm sure if I asked they would have given it to me without a problem. Communication in English a bit tricky but they do their best. At night there were animal noises which made it a bit difficult to sleep so take earplugs.
• Andrzej (10/5): Exceptional - Excelent location, great stuff
• Isabelle (7/5): Nice! - The staff is very kind, the rooms are comfortable. No running water.
• Mary (9/5): A lovely place to stay in Lalibela with a great view! - My room at the Alef Paradise hotel had a really beautiful view that I could enjoy from my own little patio. The staff were all very nice and helpful and even set me up with a local guide and transport before I arrived. The free breakfast was really delicious - especially the coffee! Overall, the Alef Paradise hotel is a great value for money and I would definitely recommend to future visitors! To note: the power is only on at certain times of day (evening and potentially a few hours in the morning) but that's more a function of power in the town and not due to Alef Paradise Hotel. Just plan to charge your things at night or have a power bank with you. I couldn't buy dinner at the hotel the night I was there, which wasn't a huge deal since I just walked to a nearby hotel. There also isn't wifi available here which was a little tricky since I didn't have a local SIM. However, I was able to use the wifi at the hotel I dined at for dinner so it wasn't a big problem.
• Rachel (8/5): A cheap but nice place to stay right near the 11 churches in Lalibela! - We were the only guests at the hotel when we were there last week, because tourism is so low these days, despite Lalibela itself being so peaceful. We were very pleasantly surprised at the fantastic location, and that we could walk to all the churches, including a 5 minute walk with worshippers wrapped in white, on a narrow path to reach St George's early on a Sunday morning which was magical! The hotel served us traditional coffee when we arrived which was great too! It was sad to be the only people in the hotel but that wasn't their fault. We would recommend others to come to Alef Paradise
• Brenda (9/5): Superb -
• Sonia (9/5): Superb - Good hotel and big room with balcony and nice views and just 10minutes walking from the churches. Very friendly staff and hot water. The breakfast is also included and it was tasty! I liked everything.
• Cora (5/5): Lack of essentials - Great view. Great location and good room. No power (I had to specifically ask for power to get like 2hours of power), no running water for the most part, no wifi (because no power).
• Clara (6/5): Pleasant -
