10/10 Excellent
"The staff of the hotel were so amazing and nice. The airport pickup was wonderful. The hotel and the restaurant staff were so kind and helpful. The food was delicious, especially the papaya, injera, and the spaghetti! The room was clean, and the view was spectacular. The room was serviced and it was so nice to get a refresh. It was nice to get a hearty and delicious breakfast each day before the tour. The Wi-FI was so great to have at night when I was back from the tour. If you go to Lalibela, stay here."
