Reviews of Top Twelve Hotel - Lalibela

Our room was comfortable and very nicely decorated. The staff were very attentive and treated us like family. The food is delicious and affordable. There is a delightful gift shop. The manager organised two excellent day tours. He also went above and beyond to prepare a surprise for our wedding anniversary. The views from the balcony are stunning.

Because of its location, the WiFi is irregular.

Pick up was arranged by Dawit from the airport and we were welcomed in the hotel. We were shown to our large and spacious room at once. After freshening up, we were treated to a traditional coffee ceremony on the veranda. the views from the veranda and from the balcony of our room were spectacular. Dawit arranged for our tours and pick ups and lunch and dinners. It was low season for Lalibela because it was the rainy season. Repairs were ongoing in the hotel during the lean period. Thanks to Dawit and the staff of Top 12 Hotel

Repairs in the bathroom should be done.

the view!!

everything was great.

Such a lovely hotel with exceptional staff. Davot could not have been more helpful. Arranged guides to visit churches and mountain monastery which was epic. The view from hotel room was epic. Highly recommend

This is a comfortable, safe hotel with a fabulous balcony view from my room. The staff is very helpful.

Charming hotel with a breathtaking view. A super attentive team, ready to do anything to make your stay unforgettable. It is also possible to have dinner there.

Was a perfect choice. Dawit arranged our activities thru a guide called Tadesse, which was all in all a fantastic experience. The hotel has amazing sunset views and the view from the rooms are out of this world

No tuks tuks operating at night

I was a solo traveller woman and stayed in Top12 4 nights. The room is exactly as in the pictures: spacious, clean, with an amazing view and well styled. The breakfast was simple but enough. The staff was incredibly friendly, and very helpful: I can only thank Dawit and Jordanus for my stay. There is security at the entrance and is walking distance to the Churches or Lalibella town. Still the calm of the place is appreciated when you come back. I would also recommend the hike to Ashton Mariam. There is also an ATM at the entry but I would be careful because they charged me without having money.

My stay in Top Twelve Hotel was memorable. The hotel is located along a cliff offering the best view on the valley and outstanding sunsets. The breakfast on the terrace was tasty with home brewed Ethiopian coffee, omelet, local bread and honey. The hotel is warmly decorated with local colours and furniture.  My room was spacious with a private balcony and soothing view. The room was quiet, bed was comfortable, water pressure was not great but enough to shower with continous hot water. The hotel is at walking distance  from the outstanding Ben Abeba restaurant. Dawit and Yordanos are very nice and responsive hosts. They did their best to make my stay memorable, including the organisation of private guided tours in Lalibela and around.

Absolutely fantastic place, Staff is everything here. The amazing Yordanos, the girl in charge of cooking, store, gift shop and coffee ceremony is fantastic, always attentive, and share a lot of stories. Room is very good in size, view from the balcony is out of this world. You can book tours, walk around safely.

- Random water leaking in the toilet tank flooded all the bathroom but they quickly fix it. - water pressure is weak but considering the place is enough for a quick shower, water is a precious resource

The view is out of this world. The room was comfortable, light and spotlessly clean.

It's a really nice hotel with a great view. It was clean and had hot shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made my stay great and safe.

The decoration of the room has a lovely local touch. The view from the balcony was just astounding. The manager Dawit arranged the visit schedule and guide for a wonderful experience. I can only thank him and his lovely assistant for all the good vibes.

The shower could use a curtain.

Breakfast and location/view excellent

The room was immaculate and the view from balcony was spectacular. We loved how you could view the night stars from bed. Excellent breakfast. Great staff especially David and Ishta who did so much for us. They set us up with an excellent guide.

Nothing

A cozy little hotel with a very friendly staff and owner. The place is tastefully decorated, the room was clean and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. It’s really well located, no too far away from the churches in a quiet area. The wifi also worked well even when there was no internet connection in the town due to the political situation. Perfect place to stay in Lalibela.

The bed was a bit too hard.

Everything was amazing! The rooms are even more beautiful than advertised, stunning views and gorgeous art throughout. The staff and owner were exceptionally kind and prepared an amazing sunset dinner overlooking the mountains. They booked our tour to the churches and ensured we were safely accompanied with a knowledgeable guide. A delightful experience all around!

Everything was perfect!

Beautifull view from balcony. Very good transportation service from the airport. Very good organized tour to churches.

Problem with electricity.

Great view. Lovely facility

Limited food variety

The view, the room, the staff were all wonderful. The beds are a little hard, but I think it's because they are traditional beds. So just a heads up. Other than that.... it was a wonderful getaway.
