    Stayed in a lovely place with a garden and terrace. I even had my own parking spot! So posh.

    No need for improvement, everything was absolutely perfect. Like seriously, nothing to complain about.

    The location in a peaceful area was excellent. There was a good restaurant relatively close to the hotel. The rooms were new-fashioned and huge with great view from balcony and good bathrooms, for instance, just what we needed. Loved bread, coffee, tea, and eggs at breakfast.

    For the price we paid, we got great value - the room was spacious, clean, and had all the necessary amenities like hot water and wifi. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the famous churches and other attractions. The staff treated us like family, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

    The morning meal could have been improved with more variety.

    The location of the hotel is lovely and stunning, right next to the main restaurants, which was exactly what we were looking for. The room had climate control, a personal safe, and a dining area, which we really liked. The atmosphere at the guest house was quiet and peaceful.

    I had a great Christmas stay in Lalibela! the room was clean and cozy, and the view from my balcony was amazing. I could see the beautiful sunrise in the morning and the stars at night. the location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants, and the churches were just a short walk away. Another advantage was the helpful and friendly staff.

    I also found the breakfast to be repetitive, with the same options every day. So, overall, it was a mixed experience during my Christmas stay.

    I had an amazing stay at Merkeza Guest House in Lalibela. The database provided me with detailed information about the hotel, which helped me make an informed decision. The room I stayed in was absolutely breathtaking, with a private balcony overlooking the stunning mountain views. Waking up to such a beautiful sight every morning was truly a treat. The view from the balcony added an extra touch of serenity and tranquility to my stay.

    Honestly, I can't think of anything negative to say about my experience at Merkeza Guest House. I made perfect use of all the facilities and services provided.

    Our stay at this guesthouse was absolutely incredible! Tedy and his family were so warm and helpful, and their English was excellent. The location was peaceful and had stunning views of the mountains. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean, with all the amenities we needed. The breakfast was mouthwateringly delicious. And the best part? It was such a fantastic value for the money! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    I had a fantastic time at Merkeza Guest House during my visit to Lalibela. The room had an amazing view and was always clean with hot water and reliable wifi. The hospitality from the family and their cats was exceptional, and the owner personally reached out to me after I booked to offer transportation assistance. They also provided great advice on guided tours. I highly recommend this centrally located guesthouse for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.
