- Mark (8/5): - Super emplacement, vue imprenable, personnels accueillant, généreux Le réceptionniste n'as jeté un coup d'œil à ma réservation ! En disant qu'il me surclasse (sans avoir rien demandé !) je vais dans une chambre que je n'ai pas choisit ! Donc plus petite pas avec les équipements demandés ! Pas le temps de réclamer ! J'avais une visite à faire donc juste déposé mes valises et repartir. À mon retour tout était full ! Donc forcé de rester dans le chambre "surclassé". Donc ça j'ai pas vraiment APPRÉCIÉ !
- Mitouy (10/5): Beautiful lodge - Great room with a wonderful view. Big and comfortable, nice balcony. It was kept clean all the time. Restaurant staff VERY NICE, KUDOS to them! Shower didn‘t have a curtain or glass to prevent water from splashing out. Breakfast was quite limited, but ok.

The hotel owner also organized a car with a driver and a guide for the full three days, and both of them were wonderful (Driver Gashaw and Guide Maereg). We stayed three days with our 3 children to have enough time for visiting all the 11 churches, complete the hiking to the Asheton Maryam Monastery, see the village and have time to simply enjoy the peace over there.

- Mauricio (6/5): Possible conflict area - Amazing place with great people. We were surprised by the beauty of the place. View of the valley of losing your breath. Great breakfast, well served, tasty and with good service. Just make sure the region has internet and electric light. We stayed two nights and the city had the electricity and internet cut off due to a civil conflict in the region. The hotel has a generator to heat bath water and recharge cell phones and electronic equipment. It's a shame because the region deserves to be visited.
- Nicola (9/5): Frendly hotel with good staff. Excellent food. Clean and tidy. - The hotel staff gave us a warm welcome on arrival and were attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We had a large room with a balcony and a good bathroom. The food was freshly cooked and tasty. It’s a short walk to one of the town squares. It has a great view out over the countryside. Nothing to mention
- Damien (7/5): Good - Good location, nice rooms Prices for the night and the restaurant quite expensive for what it is and comparing to other hotels in Lalibela.
- Paul (9/5): Great stay in Lalibela. - Great lodge and location. Occasionally the power went out but only got short increments. Everything was fine.
- Choon (10/5): Fantastic experience. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a real holiday getaway. - Location is convenient quite close to the famous churches. I went to the nearby churches by tuktuk though i think you can walk in 15-20 mins. The hotel surrounding is very beautiful with majestic mountains in sight. Wifi could not reach my room though I liked it that way as a good escape from unwanted communication and social media.

- M (9/5): Superb - great location and very friendly staff who even found a doctor in the middle of one night when it became necessary. The view from the rooms could not be better and the food in the restaurant was also superb. we stayed for a whole week and did not get tired of it. In addition to the churches, there are some.very nice hiking trails for which a guide is recommended though.

- Sebastian (9/5): Superb -
- Britta (8/5): A great choice to stay in Lalibela! - Nice lodge in a beautiful garden with spectacular views. It’s located in a quite neighbourhood of Lalibela and has a great outdoor bar with sunset views. Rooms in the Tukul-style huts have good bathrooms, comfortable beds and nice private sitting areas. They also arrange transport and excellent guides for the churches. Vegetarian options in the restaurant are ok, but not exiting.
- Julie (9/5): Superb - the staff member Casey was so helpful. would absolutely visit Dora lodge again
- Laura (7/5): One of the best lodges I have stayed in in Ethiopia! - The view is beautiful, the rooms are very clean, there is hot water, the service is good. Food could have been better.
- Ling (10/5): A lovely stay in the countryside with silence andmagnificant nature - the view is fabulous, staff are friendly and attentive, the room is clean with hot water ! the room size is a bit small.
- Aline (7/5): Nice cabin with a great view but disappointing breakfast - I really liked the cabin in which we stayed. It was clean and nice. Although there was no mosquito net. The view is amazing and we really liked how silent it was at night. Breakfast needs to be improved. I was baffled that there was no butter.
- Vincent (9/5): very nice stay with a stunning view ! - Very beautiful place, perfect to visit Lalibela. staff really friendly and happy to help you. almost perfect ! maybe just a bit more of choices for breakfast but the lodge was not full when we stayed, might be the reason.
- Anne (6/5): Pleasant -
- Donna (8/5): - Mosquito net needed cleaning. Only soap provided. Breakfast was terrible.
- Jean (8/5): Great facility that was adequate for the business that took me to Lalibela - Breakfast was basic, adequate for the facility
- Beatriz (8/5): Amazing sunset, magical place! - The sunset bar was amazing, the staff was super friendly! The view from the bedroom was fantastic. In the bar, there are all sorts of international drinks, but there is no Ethiopian honey wine. The staff was so friendly, they said they would bring for us in the next day, but we were only staying a weekend. The breakfast did not have much variety.
- Kemi (10/5): Highly recommended, A*** -
- Sandra (7/5): I had a great time - The view Poor wifi in the room
- Marianne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (8/5): - Good stay in the heart of Lalibela, approximately 20 minutes walk from the rock-hewn churches. The property is in a quiet area of the town overlooking a valley and distant hills offering a great view. The property has an array of different rooms which are well maintained offering different experiences. The food menu has good variety and the staff are quite hospitable.
- Ryan (10/5): Amazing people, amazing sights, amazing hotel - Amazing staff, food, view, service, room, and experience. Sora is a must stay and Lalibela is a must-see N/A
- Ena (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing stay in Lalibela - I spent a weekend with my partner and a group of friends in Lalibela. We really enjoyed our stay at Sora Lodge and couldn’t recommend it enough. All of the staff were kind and helpful—Habte, the owner, came by to check in with all of the guests at the lodge to ensure we were having a good time. The breakfast was quite good, as were the meals and drinks at the restaurant and sunset bar, and the lodge was able to accommodate someone in our group with special dietary needs. We liked that there were many options for rooms; we stayed in one of the tukul rooms and found it to be quiet, comfortable and very clean. More than anything, we absolutely loved the view from the lodge (including all of our rooms) and the design of all parts of the property. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place, and you can see that a lot of care and attention to detail was put into everything. We were not ready to leave!

- Amy (10/5): - We stayed in the rooms that were like regular hotel rooms. The views were beautiful from both the balcony and the front door. I was not aware that the lodge has newer rooms that are fabulously beautiful and actually quite luxurious. I saw them on the day we left and wish we had stayed in those. They cost more, of course, but I would have enjoyed those rooms and their extra-special location. The service was excellent and friendly. I recommend heartily.
- Jorge (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ramírez (8/5): Very good -
- Saadia (9/5): beautiful stay - Loved my stay in the treehouse. everything was excellent- the view, the staff, food, transport to and from the airport, the room nothing
- Yvonne (8/5): Beautiful and peaceful location, clean and relaxing. - Beautiful location. The chef provided a special meal upon request. Staff was accommodating and friendly. I paid more for a room with television. The tv didn’t work, WiFi down, fridge not cold. Night receptionist was rude.
- Caroline (10/5): - This is a darling place in a gorgeous setting. The views are stunning and thè location is ideal. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant boasts a great breakfast and good food all during the day. I highly recommend this hotel.
- Justin (10/5): - The owner was very accommodating and helpful. Although this region was and continues to be impacted by the Civil War, Huti the owner went out his way to provide the best service. For example, he upgraded my room to a Suite on my first day. Speaking of the room, the views from the suites can't be beat. Overall I had a great experience at the Sora Lodge.
- Daniel (10/5): - Great location in Lalibela, was able to walk everywhere to see the stone churches. Was quiet and the staff was very helpful with anything I needed. One thing to remember is Lalibela is without power at the moment, so Sora had a small generator that ran for 3-4 hours a day which was enough to charge my devices. However, it means a current lack of hot water, though plenty of water to clean with as needed. I would recommend staying there and might revisit when I return to the area.
- SIMON (10/5): Great all round hotel. - Great location, service and generally a fantastic hotel with amazing views.
- mo (8/5): - Good hotel, recently renovated, all the rooms are mountain view, restaurant is good. Breakfast only has very limited options.
- Simon (8/5): Sora Lodge - great views, good spot for sunsets and for watching the birds riding the thermals, very friendly staff, reception able to recommend guides (in this case the excellent Muluye Tsegaw - Muluye_tsegaw @ yahoo.com who runs Zaglo Ethiopia www.zagloethiopiatours.com). Food wasn't amazing, but there are a number of options in the and around the town.
- Gwynneth (10/5): a night away at sora lodge - my husband and I had a lovely time, beautiful view from our room where we could read and have coffee in the morning. stunning view for sundowners and breakfast at the restaurant, very friendly staff who helped connect us with a guide to tour the local churches.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved the beautiful location and the garden and wild birds. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - very sweet nice kind people, good cheap food, great views, exceptionally comfortable bed
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful views Flawlessly clean Great food Nice and polite staff Good location
- LC (10/5): - Sora Lodge is a lovely place to stay in Lalibela. It’s far enough away from the major tourist center to be quiet and calm, with beautiful views of the mountains. Still, everything is easily accessible. The service was excellent and we would definitely recommend this.
