Sora Lodge Lalibela

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was nice and had a balcony, which was perfect for relaxing. The eating area was big, and the menu had lots of good options. The best part was the view from my room in the morning—it was amazing and way better than I expected. The hotel is also in a good location, just a 30-minute walk from the churches, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its friendly service, nice rooms, and fantastic views.

As a tour leader I have used Sora Lodge in Lalibela for about five times. Each time I return to this wonderful lodge, I observe new things, and the services gets better. I would not make my clients happier that choosing this lodge in Lalibela. The staff is extremally friendly and helpful. They have unbeaten views from all the rooms, the restaurant and the sunset bar. The food at the restaurant is fresh and delicious. They grow on site vegetables. I will definitely recommend for anyone traveling to Lalibela as a tourist or tour leader. Thank you sora Lodge for all the effort

I was at Sora Lodge with my family after six years. The lodge has been upgraded with it's size and services for much better. It is indeed one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed during our travel. The room we stayed has amazing views and the restaurant has great choices of food with great views. The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. We had a guided tour arranged by the lodge and everything went well. I happily recommend to anyone traveling to Lalibela to stay at this place or visit their restaurant.

I really wish that I could give Sora five stars. The people are so friendly and helpful, the room had a lovely appearance, the food in the restaurant was great, they set me up with a great guide, and everything was perfect except: - The first night, it seemed a little warm in the evening, so I left the door to my balcony open as I went to sleep. I woke up not long after that with buzzing in my ear. I eventually killed 22 mosquitos in the room that night, and I essentially didn't sleep at all. - There's a mosquito net above the bed, but it doesn't actually cover the bed -- it's too small. A mosquito net that's touching your skin doesn't stop the mosquito from sitting on top of the net and biting you through your skin, as I quickly learned, and the net won't cover the bed, so that it would prevent that. - So, the second night, I decided that I would just be hot. I slept in just my underwear on top of the covers and kept the door closed all afternoon/evening/night. But somehow, there were still mosquitos -- they got into the room some way, and I had to kill five more of them that night while trying to sleep. - Another family there that had kids told me that the kids were crying all night because of the bites. They got fans to try to stay cool while keeping the windows closed. Simply put, the number 1 job of a hotel is to enable its guests to sleep, and the Sora Lodge failed on that account. It's the middle of the dry season, there's zero reason for there to be any mosquitos, and mosquitos generally only travel a short distance in their lifetimes, so the mosquitos are likely breeding onsite or very close to it. Management needs to do one or more of the following: - Find the pool where the mosquitos are breeding and treat it with a non-toxic pesticide to kill the mosquitos. - Get a bug zapper and put it at the edge of the property away from the rooms to draw away and kill mosquitos. - Put screens on the sliding doors in the rooms, so that cool air can come in without allowing mosquitos in. - Replace the (decorative?) small mosquito nets in the rooms with larger nets that will actually cover the beds and protect guests from mosquitos. Readers: I would absolutely avoid this hotel until they respond with details of how they have addressed this issue. But if this problem gets fixed, then you will love staying at Sora Lodge.

The location of Soro Lodge is beautiful. Serenity at its finest! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was super hospitable and kind which matched the energy of the onsite staff. The rooms were always clean and the food and coffee (of course!) was amazing at the lodge restaurant. I wish them nothing but blessings and continued success.
