I have traveled around the world, and can say that the Sora Lodge is a GREAT place to stay. Staff arranged a complete sightseeing itinerary, and provided the very best in guides for us. Food was amazing in every way. Entire staff was very attentive, and really went the distance to make this a great stay. Thank for Sora Lodge!

Good stay in the heart of Lalibela, approximately 20 minutes walk from the rock-hewn churches. The property is in a quiet area of the town overlooking a valley and distant hills offering a great view. The property has an array of different rooms which are well maintained offering different experiences. The food menu has good variety and the staff are quite hospitable.

We stayed in the rooms that were like regular hotel rooms. The views were beautiful from both the balcony and the front door. I was not aware that the lodge has newer rooms that are fabulously beautiful and actually quite luxurious. I saw them on the day we left and wish we had stayed in those. They cost more, of course, but I would have enjoyed those rooms and their extra-special location. The service was excellent and friendly. I recommend heartily.

The owner was very accommodating and helpful. Although this region was and continues to be impacted by the Civil War, Huti the owner went out his way to provide the best service. For example, he upgraded my room to a Suite on my first day. Speaking of the room, the views from the suites can't be beat. Overall I had a great experience at the Sora Lodge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location in Lalibela, was able to walk everywhere to see the stone churches. Was quiet and the staff was very helpful with anything I needed. One thing to remember is Lalibela is without power at the moment, so Sora had a small generator that ran for 3-4 hours a day which was enough to charge my devices. However, it means a current lack of hot water, though plenty of water to clean with as needed. I would recommend staying there and might revisit when I return to the area.

great views, good spot for sunsets and for watching the birds riding the thermals, very friendly staff, reception able to recommend guides (in this case the excellent Muluye Tsegaw - Muluye_tsegaw @ yahoo.com who runs Zaglo Ethiopia www.zagloethiopiatours.com). Food wasn't amazing, but there are a number of options in the and around the town.

Sora Lodge is a lovely place to stay in Lalibela. It’s far enough away from the major tourist center to be quiet and calm, with beautiful views of the mountains. Still, everything is easily accessible. The service was excellent and we would definitely recommend this.

There are better places nearby.
For Entebbe, look for a place that has air conditioning. The al fresca dining is nice, but if it's raining everyone will be crowded into the dining room.
