Guest Reviews
- Dave C (6/5): Not bad - Super peaceful, beautiful nature sounds, amazing stars at night, quite. No WiFi in the rooms, the pool was cloudy and low in water, the breakfast was limited and you had to pay extra if you wanted more.
- Annmarie (9/5): -
- Janos (8/5): Good base to discover Lalibela - Spacious apartment, delicious breakfast, attentive staff Power cuts, weak wifi, uninviting pool
- Hugo (8/5): -
- AD (2/5): -
- vladimir (1/5): -
- Tetyana (7/5): 48 hours - I stayed at this hotel for six days, though I admit I felt like I was four days too long in Lalibela. The room is spacious, very clean, and cold, with no air conditioning or heating. In October, the temperature is 23 degrees during the day and 5 degrees at night. You can request an extra blanket at reception.I highlight the attention of the staff.We were without power for an entire day. The hotel doesn't have its own generator. And power outages are very common in Ethiopia. The hotel menu specifies that 15% tax and 10% service charge (tips) are included. But when they give you the bill, they charge you the 15% tax and 10% service charge again. In reality, you pay 30% tax and 20% service charge (tips). All of Lalibela is set up to squeeze the most out of tourists. If I were to go back, I wouldn't visit Lalibela.
- Lufuno M (7/5): Scenic views - The lodge is in a very scenic location and it was refreshing to be able to enjoy the views. It was not far from the rock hewn churches on a tuk tuk ride. The dinner menu was tasty. The hotel also arranged a great guide for me who took me out daily to see the sites. The staff was also friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not up to standard for the price per night for the room. The rooms were cold at night and the hotel does not have heaters for the room. They did however provide blankets.
- Tetyana (10/5): El mejor de Lalibela - Es el mejor hotel en Lalibela, el personal y servicio es impecable. La habitación es muy grande, con vistas preciosas. No tiene aire acondicionado ni calefacción. En octubre durante la noche está fresco, pero con una buena manta, perfecto.
- eugenia (6/5): - la ubicacion y el personal muy amable la comida,
- Petr (7/5): Nice hotel that needs to improve the staff's attention to clients - The house where we lived was beautiful, big and humble. It is in a beautiful garden and has a nice swimming pool. Booking.com shows a buffet breakfast. I understand that there were few guests and breakfast was served a la carte. The first day eggs, coffee and savory and sweet pastries. The second day only eggs and coffee and the third day when I ordered breakfast eggs and a pancake, I was told that we were only entitled to one item. Then I showed them the photo from booking and the breakfast immediately improved. In my opinion, this should not happen in this category of hotel.
- Austin (10/5): - Great service, huge villas, traditional dishes were very good. WiFi is so-so and only available in reception and restaurant. Nice big pool if you’re there when it’s hot enough. Hot water and huge showers. Incredible views and beautiful landscaping.
- Maya (7/5): -
- Jennifer (8/5): Fun and long hiking in a beautiful place - The food was excellent, and the view was amazing. I loved the wrap-around porches and the furniture available on them (just wish I had time to use them!) This is a perfect place for a relaxing stay to enjoy water, hiking, or just reading a book.
- Kyeong-Sook (6/5): - It has a great view of Lalibela from the bar, the restaurant, and the patio. It seems the property has not kept up probably due to the downtown of tourism and economy. My room had only one working table lamp so I ate my dinner in the dark. The staff were helpful and friendly. It was an average stay overall.
- Karl (9/5): Superb -
- Boyce (9/5): Superb -
- Willie (9/5): Beautiful resort in a magical town - The location, the people, the view. Everything about Mezena was faultless . The rooms were quiet and nicely appointed There are a lot of stairs, so you need to be reasonably fit ie no dodgy knees or hip’s
- Baselala (3/5): Poor - That we were the only people in the resort. The staff would do anything we asked for. 1. The shuttle bus from the airport was not included in the price. It was 200 ETB per person. 2. CONSTANT HAGGLING from the local guides for the church tours. 3. No internet in the Rooms had to go to reception for a signal. 4. There are only two teabags and 4 satchets of sugar per day. 5. The swimming pool was freezing - the only reason we booked this location was because of the pool very disappointing 😩😩😩 6. No light's on the first night along the path to the room, and no staff on duty in case of an emergency. The whole place was locked up, and the lights were all off and felt very unsafe indeed. 7. The confirmed price was 184 US dollars, and the resort then added a service charge, and then Vat, this should be included in the final price. 10.They Don't accept US dollars as a card payment. 11. The breakfast menu wasn't clear as with most places, it's a buffet. Here, we had to choose and was not informed how many items we could choose and felt as if we may be overstepping the mark.

- Sultan (10/5): Exceptional -

- Alvaro (9/5): Superb -
- iain (8/5): - The difficulties of electricity etc are compensated for by the excellent efficient and helpful staff The accommodation and landscaped setting s its eco friendly systems us excellent Definitely a first choice for a return visit
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great service - Great service and friendly staff! Arrived very late and they stayed up for me, made dinner available, and turned spa services so I could relax after a very long bus ride.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Pace Ristoro visione Via lattea - Oasi di tranquillità e riposo dopo tour tra le bellezze culturali e architettoniche
- Michelle (10/5): Ethiopia trip - Absolutely loved it
- Verified traveler (10/5): - very friendly staff, amazing views and good location (close -by tuktuk or taxi-) to sites. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service and the property is really well maintained
- Murielle (6/5): - Problème d’eau d’elecTricote Très abîmé pour une année d’existence Bon dîners mais petits déjeuners médiocres Personnel gentil mais incompétent Dommage car le site est très beau
- Philip (8/5): Great Bungallows - Hotel comprises approx 20 villas or bungalows, all of which are about 1 year old. The standard of the bungalows is outstanding, and I think makes this hotel deserve a 4 star rating instead of its present 3 star rating. What is disappointing however is the hotel's extremely poor wifi, which can only be reliably accessed from the lobby in the main building.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Gorgeous Views/Minor Issues - The hotel stay was quite enjoyable, with some minor issues. The rooms are huge and the beds are super comfortable. Views from the restaurant and future pool deck are amazing. It is on the side of Lalibela closest to the airport and about a 5 minute drive to the churches. (I don't recommend walking). Negatives: The prices for things were fair, but not well marked. Extra $ for the airport shuttle, but then were given 1 free transfer into town. The sauna was also $10 extra to use. The room was quite cool at night with no extra blankets in the room, and the water pressure was poor in my room, but heard it was ok in others. Also I missed the small note on the wall next to the toilet that told me I should unplug my TV overnight as it might spontaneously turn on. (Which it did). For the cost of the hotel room I would have thought these would have been included and wouldn't have experienced these inconveniences.
