SORA LODGE LALIBELA

Is a family-run business. It was opened in October 2013 and has since become a very popular lodge in Lalibela, having won Trip Advisor's and Booking.com's Certificates of Excellence for four consecutive years (2015-2016-2017-2018). The lodge is walking distance (approximately fifteen minutes) from Lalibela's southern group of rock-hewn churches and is a twenty minute walk from the northern group of churches. While we are not far from the main village, we are tucked away from the buzzing town's life.

THE NAME “SORA LODGE”

The word “Sora” has multiple meanings: First of all, it refers to a beautiful and green hill outside Lalibela. Second, according to the legend, it is the name of King Lalibela`s golden carpet. Third, “Sora” is a popular song and dance of Lalibela and its surrounding.

Great spot for exploring Lalibela lovely stone cabins with beautifuls views, quiet setting, friendly staff with good Engish language skills. We were lucky to arrive at a quiet moment in the conflict and had the place and the churches to ourselves. Magnifcent mountain setting in Ethiopia

Just Beautiful in every way My husband and I with out two children stayed at Sora Lodge for three nights. Our room which was the rock hewn family room had amazing view and is beautifully decorated. The sunset bar and the restaurant has also a wonderful views. The food at the restaurant was delicious and they have their own vegetables farm. The lodge has some gardens and playing areas for kids and our kids loved it to be there. We strongly recommend for family or for anyone who is visiting Lalibela to enjoy the beautiful lodge and the kind staff.

Breathtaking views The Sora Lodge is the best hotel we have stayed during our two weeks holiday in the norther part of Ethiopia. There were no may tourists in the area following the recent conflict in the area most of the hotels are closed but Sora Lodge remained opened and served us with all the services they offered. The views from our room, the restaurant and the sunset bars was breathtaking. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We did organize tour of the churches and hiking with them, and it went well. We really enjoyed the Lodge and their services very much and I strongly recommend the lodge for anyone traveling to Lalibela.

Great place to stay in Lalibela This was my first visit to Lalibela, and the Sora Lodge did not disappoint. I stayed in a Tukul room. The view overlooks the valley , and sunrise and sunset are amazing right from your porch. The staff was very attentive, the the food in the restaurant was great. I highly recommend staying here if you visit Lalibela.

They should buy better generators Hotel is good and has a nice view, but no power for 48 hours is sufferable! Water was cold and we were literally in the dark. They actually turned on the generator for 1 hour or so, but it only worked for the lights, and not for the power sockets. Result: couldn't charge any of my electronics.

Best hotel in Lalibela We loved our stay at Sora Lodge in Lalibela. We stayed in the traditional Tugal style hut and our room & view were stunning. The staff was very friendly and restaurant good. After meeting other travellers who recently travelled to Lalibela, we were extremely grateful we chose Sora Lodge. Due to the currently political situation and Lalibela being in a state of Marshall Law (government banned internet and curfew), there are very few tourists in Lalibela. We met travellers who stayed at other hotels, but due to the limited # of occupants, the hotel restaurants were closed and limited/no access to food. This was not the case at Sora Lodge. Though we were the only guests… the restaurant remained open for us. Reviewed separately, we also highly recommend our guide Alex in Lalibela. His contact number is +251 92 262 7352

The best view with excellent service in Lalibella Arriving in a place under conflict like the north of Ethiopia, could be a daunting experience. On top of that, during my transfer from the airport to Lalibella I was told that there was no electric power in the area during the last 5 days; I was ready for the worst. With this on mind, I’m short of words to express how wonderful was my experience at Sora Lodge and Lalibella. The location. It is just perfect. Period. The best location in the area. Far to be quite and peaceful bit close en ought to will to the main points of interest. And the view….. The infrastructure. The hotel has a unique selection of room types. From the “tree house” to the top type of room. All of them confortable and with a very distinctive touch. The “bar” and “restaurants” are nice and confortable and have gray views of The Valley and surrounding mountains. And they have the restroom with the best view anywhere! The service.

Impeccable place in Lalibella This is the absolute best place to experience Lalibella. Everything is pure perfection, the services are impeccable. The place has the best position and an amazing view. The restaurant serves incredible food and although I have mostly tried local food I have also tried the best schnitzel :). As a tip I would suggest booking the tumult room and have a tailor-made tour with their guide, Alex, +251 92 262 7352. Attending the mass at the church early morning is a once in a lifetime experience. You will thank me later 🙂
