I really loved this hotel/hut set up. The rooms were very clean, the shower was the cleanest shower I saw in my month of travelling in Ethiopia. The food was great, albeit a little repetitive, it was always fresh and the service from the staff was excellent. It is beautifully located with lovely surrounding gardens.

According to Philip Briggs (Bradt), the "large, spotless rooms are the best in town" and this matches the rave reviews all over trip advisor. Clearly, the location is good, the rooms are spacious and well-designed and the layout is attractive. They have recently added another 12 huts and we stayed in the upper floor in one of the newer ones:... More

great place to stay in Lalibela. One of the most expensive ($40/single, $67/double per night) but far more luxurious than the other mostly guest houses in town. Price includes airport pickup (normally 70birr/person in a shared minivan - you still share the minivan but price is paid for) and breakfast. We arrived at 9am and still were allowed to check...

Lalibela was the last stop on our northern tour of ethiopia. after a terrific few days camping in the simien mountains, a clean room and hot shower were perfect. The Tukul Village Hotel boasts wonderful views, space, service and food. We loved every moment of it and wished we could have stayed longer. I recommend all aspects of this hotel.

This was a very nice hotel. The rooms are gorgeous, bathrooms sparkling clean and beds very comfortable. Lalibela is not a big place, but it is spread out along one road and this is a bit of a walk from the top of the village. There are far better places to eat in Lalibela. Although breakfast was fine, I wouldn't... More

We said for two nights at Tukul Village. Spotlessly clean room, large bathroom with 24hr hot water for 67USD/night. It's set in lovely gardens and a cold beer on the patio looking over the views is a great way to end the day. You will hear the mass early in the morning though, so bring earplugs if you are a...

Nothing to complain about. This was probably one of the nicest hotels we stayed at in Northern Ethiopia. Each room is in a little "tukul" (hut) and includes a balcony and spacious bathroom. Our hotel included breakfast & wifi. Another hotel guest recommended that we order the side of "bread" and not "toast" which was an amazing decision. The bread... More

At last a spacious and clean hotel room with good functioning waterworks during our trip through Northern Ethiopia. Beautiful gardens surrounding the area and spectacular views from your balcony.That's to say if you manage to get one of the rooms upstairs. Staff is very friendly and helpful and so is the owner ( who used to live in Western Europe... More

Spent two nights here as part of a tour and really enjoyed this property! The staff are very welcoming and friendly and this was probably the cleanest hotel I stayed at in Ethiopia. My room (#15) was nicely decorated with local flair and had what I can only describe as probably the largest bathroom I saw in Ethiopia! The hot... More

The Room is so beautiful and charmy that take your breath away, despite the food at the restaurant everything is perfect. Taking coffe in the garden and the sky in your balcony best thing to do in Lalibela!!! Make sure to walk half a kilometer opposite to downtown direction and you will see spectacular view of the mountains and really... More
