    wifi could be stronger but I guess there’s only so much they can do with the local infrastructures

    - the view from our room was just STUNNING. what a sunset! - staff was very welcoming and friendly. always looking to help. - we particularly enjoined the tour the hotel organised for us. the tour guide and the driver were both great! and I would recommend that experience to any of my friends visiting Lalibela - at night they prepared some traditional honey wine for us (thanks!!) as well as a bonfire to sit around and chat. Abel and Wundemo (hope I spelt their names correctly!) were a great company to have around the fire!

    Only disappointment was the included breakfast, on day 1 I enjoyed scrambled eggs, sweet bread, toast, a small donut and a bowl of fruit. But on day 2 this was reduced to only eggs and toast, due to lack of supplies. Also no milk available over 2 days so black coffee only.

    For the price paid I cannot fault the room or location. Staff were friendly, tour guide booked through the hotel Mak, was a good guide, knowledgeable about the churches and decent chat over coffee and beer.

    A tranquil retreat: I wish that I could have stayed longer.

    Payment had to be made for a booking that was not used because of a visa delay (although admittedly the hotel was strictly correct as the nature of the delay meant that the cancellation could not be made by the required deadline).

    The location fully justifies the hotel's name and is extremely peaceful, offering a welcome contrast to Addis Ababa. The panoramic view is not just from one's room but also from the bar and restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and made arrangements for an excellent guided tour (I would highly recommend the guide, Ermiyas).

    Panoramic View Hotel Lalibela has a great location and superb views! The rooms are clean, and the food and service are excellent. The highlight of my stay was definitely my private tour with Mequanint — the best tour guide in Lalibela! He showed me around the 11 rock-hewn churches in just two hours — a new Guinness World Record in the 8th Wonders of the World! I strongly recommend both the hotel and Mequanint as a guide if you visit Lalibela (Ethiopia).

    Nothing.

    Great location, wonderful staff, excellent food, comfortable rooms. Even on Christmas Eve a bonfire and Christmas tree were prepared for us.We particularly fond memories of our guide, Mekuanint, who accompanied us for almost three days. He showed great knowledge and cordiality. He will remain in our hearts forever.

    Money-hungry management wants to squeeze as much cash as possible from the handful of tourists who stay in this place. The restaurant is way overpriced, the service is very slow, and the quality of the meals is just average/poor. I was charged 6 USD for fries and a coke in a country where a waiter earns less than 20 USD a month. Definitely do not recommend. There are better places in town.

    The location and views are the only good things about this hotel.

    The most important thing were for me the security. I felt so safe . 24hours security service. The room is super clean. Everything works. Electricity never been a problem. They have a backup Generator system, friendly staff. Tasty breakfast which is local and international food. The hotel is located to the famous rock hewn church of Lalibela and to the town centre. I was appointed a guide and he speaks very good English and has a good knowledge of the Church.
