2/10 Poor

I could not enjoy the property as for the 10 days that I was there most the time I was ill. I think this may have to do with the lack of deep cleaning. Hot water was also an issue. It took several request for a heater. The Wi-Fi never worked.

in questo periodo la struttura è praticamente chiusa, eravamo gli unici due ospiti, in tutta la zona i turisti sono pochissimi, ed essendo in piena Africa non ci sono strade e ci si deve aspettare polvere e in realtà selvaggia, siamo stati accolti bene da chi ha gestito questa struttura e si è è messa a completa disposizione per i nostri bisogni; se siete pronti ad una vacanza, hard andateci altrimenti cambiate destinazione

Quiet convenience in Lalibela

FikirandRay is a relatively new hotel and offers comfort and quiet. It is a short walk from a restaurant with great views down the valley. The staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was simple but good. You need a guide to get around and bargain but prices tend to be somewhat set. Lalibela is well worth seeing, which you can do in two days, or most pf it in one day.
Welcoming coffee.

We stayed here at a quiet time, so cannot say how the hotel would be if very full. We had a nice large room with a terrific view over the valley, with private bathroom. It was very clean and well kept. Breakfast was fine, and whilst there was no lunch or dinner (maybe because so quiet) there are two excellent restaurants nearby, including the utterly bizarre Ben Abeba, a wonderfully odd Bond-villain place with magnificent views and interesting food. The location is good, a short tuk-tuk ride to the main churches. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and we'd like to mention Nati, who went out of his way to help us, including running to the Ben Abeba in heavy rain to get us an umbrella!

Nice location, very comfortable and clean room with a stunning view of the mountains, welcoming service and very good breakfast. Airport pick up service. Works with a young, energetic and friendly guide - I enjoyed the tour of the churches very much.

Basic comfort with a view

This is a very basic hotel, with only breakfast, and subject to power outages as with the rest of the town. It sits a bit away from the main part of town, which actually made for a quieter night than what my friends' at a place right in town experienced and my room had a great view of the valley and mountains beyond. Although it doesn't serve any meals except breakfast, it is a very short walk away from a couple of very good restaurants (within other bigger hotels). The staff were very friendly and helpful. I sent an email ahead about airport pick up and a local guide - they didn't respond, but they had a driver at the airport with my name on a sign and a local guide in tow.

Comfortable, Clean, Great Guide

FikirandRay lodge was a great home base for a 1-night stay in Lalibela. Centered between the churches and the can't-miss restaurant Ben Abeda, I was treated to clean and comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. The first priority when I arrived was making sure I had a schedule to visit everything on my sightseeing list in a limited window of time. My tour guide was Yohannes, and I could recommend a better guide. Originally from the community, he spoke fluent English and had a passion for the history of Lalibela. He constantly made sure I was comfortable, well-fed, and found exceptional spots I never would have known about on my own. If you go, I would ask for him by name.

6/10 Good

When we first arrived...we were brought to another hotel that was not Fikir and Ray. It was a very new unfinished hotel called Halle Hotel. It had no wifi...no cabinetry...unfinished fixtures BUT the view was breathtaking...best in Lalibela. We loved the bathroom with its huge open window that looks into the valleys. The bed was very comfortable and the winds brought fresh mountain air. Sadly that ended when they shifted us to the original Fikir Ray hotel. This had wifi...but bedding wasnt that great...rooms were much smaller and views are nothing to shout about. All-in-all...it was an ok experience but could have been better if the first hotel they put us in was finished.

The staff was exceptional. I was upgraded to a room with a beautiful view. The team was very attentive to my needs. The property is clean and comfortable and located in short walking distance to a great restaurant that overlooks a valley on three sides and serves great food. You cannot ask for more quality and service of a reasonably priced bed and breakfast. I'd definitely come back here to stay when visiting Lalibela.

From what I saw of other hotels in the vicinity this is probably one of the better hotel options in Lalibela. The rooms are clean and modern, the internet is good, the breakfast’s are excellent and the staff are friendly and accommodating. There were one or two disappointments: No dinner available on my second evening because the cook had gone home and no water on my last morning. A large bucket of water with a jug was left outside me room to use for washing and flushing the toilet but as with the restaurant closure no proper explanation was given let alone an apology.

ホテルの観光ガイドは午前午後と終日に渡り協会群を丁寧に案内してくれて写真も上手に撮ってくれたので非常に良かったです。市内でガイドを手配するよりも若干高いですが、数人でシェアできるなら利用したら便利でしょう。 ホテルは少し古いが清潔にはされていた。地上階以外の部屋なら眺めは良いと思う。宿泊したのは３階だったので眺めはよく虫も出なかった。 到着時に窓の鍵が掛からなくて、スタッフに直すように言うも「問題無い」と事だったが不安だったので直してもらった。 一日目の朝食が、注文してから４０分出てこなかったのは良くなかった。

Excellent stay and tour of 11 churches

We stayed at Fiker and Ray for 2 nights. Staff were excellent and go above and beyond to help you out if needed. My husband and I were sick from the Simien Mountains and the lady receptionist was so accommodating and brought tea and food up to our room when we were too sick to go out to have dinner. Hot water is touch and go. Our first room had no hot water but we asked to move to another room on the second night and that room had hot water and stunning views. Breakfast was delicious! You can choose from a range of items such as scrambled eggs, omelette, porridge etc. You are also given bread and some spreads, and a really nice smoothie too. Just take note that it takes a while to come out so I would suggest ordering breakfast at least 35 minutes before your tour starts. We also organized our 11 churches tour through the hotel which turned out to be cheaper than what other tour companies were offering. We received guide Fikremariam a friendly young man with excellent English who was passionate about Lalibela and it’s churches. He was lively, energetic, and extremely knowledgable - we learnt so much from him, not just about the churches, but the history, and general information about Ethiopia. As per our request, he took us to eat at a local restaurant in between visiting the churches and then to a nice coffee/tea place as well. The 11 churches tour with him was by far our favourite tour in Ethiopia. I would recommend him to anyone and would rate him 10/10!!

Great view of the mountains from our room. Excellent location away from all the noise in the town center. Very close to Ben Abebe restaurant, which has amazing views (and good food). Friendly and helpful staff, simple (but very good) breakfast. Excellent value for the price.

Great stay!

My experience in this lodge was amazing ! The staff were super friendly and helpful and very accommodating to anything I asked for. The rooms are clean and exactly what I needed. It’s situated just few minutes walk from the center of the town and from a great restaurant that is known with its splendid sunset views; Ben Abeba. The food at the hotel itself actually exceeded my expectations. It’s a hidden gem in Lalibela. Once in, they will make you feel like family. I highly recommend it!

The staff was very friendly and attentive to my needs. The omelettes and coffee were very delicious every morning. The property is very nicely decorated and views are amazing. I really enjoyed talking with everyone learning about the local culture. I highly recommend FIKRE MARIAM as your tour guide in Lalibella. This young man knows the history and tells it with great enthusiasm. My last night in Lalibella we went to a local lounge Torpedo for honeywine and traditional music and dancing. I had an amazing time and I never had wine that taste so good. Choose this property for your stay in Lalibela youbwill not be dissapointed.

Fuí engañado

El personal amable es lo único cierto de lo que prometen. Reservé una habitacion con cama king. Hay 2, una no tine vista, y la que tiene vista tiene una cama normal. El hervidor eléctrico no saben lo que es. Tiene TV pero sin señal. Suelos desclabados, enchufes colgando, lá mparas que no funcionan, botes de jabón y champú vacíos, ducha sin presión, etcc. Estvimos varias horas sin luz y casi un día entero sin agua. Muy cerca de este establecimiento se encuentra el Top Twelve, por el mismo precio, y un excelente hotel con vistas impresionantes.

Receptionist overcharges and lies about charges, I.e takes money for taxi to airport but doesn’t pay driver so you have to pay twice. Charges guests for eating 1 banana and 1 orange. THTe room is advertised as spacious with a window and view. In reality, no window at all, poky room.

I have been to Lalibela many times. First night no hot water then no water within 1 minute. Staff solution = shower tomorrow? Did not help as I was covered in soap... Lights didn't work. Second night moved to another room. Lights didn't work. Arranged an early breakfast before day trip. Breakfast 1 hour late. Staff said "Sorry I was asleep"? Breakfast ok No milk though Staff were friendly but not good problem solvers Did not see manager even though I emailed him about the issues There are much nicer hotels in better locations for similar prices btw Where is the winery?
