Tukul Village Hotel

Geweldig hotel, mooie ruime kamers, lief en zorgzaam personeel, op loopafstand van de kerken en vanuit de prachtige afgeschermde tuin kun je in alle rust genieten van zowel het levendige dorpsleven als tientallen soorten vogels en bloemen. Een kleine oase. Het eten is lekker en de manager denkt mee als je iets speciaals wil of ergens tegen aan loopt (zo kon ik niet pinnen in het dorp maar met zijn hulp hebben dit alsnog kunnen regelen).

Ho utilizzato questa struttura per una notte a metano novembre 2023 quando la situazione del paese era ancora poco serena infatti era valido il coprifuoco, zero turisti e moltissime strutture chiuse proprio per questo. Eravamo infatti gli unici due ospiti. Le camere pulite e finestrate con ottima vista, sono a forma circolare con un arredamento minimal ma carino. Consiglio le camere al secondo piano per la veduta. Il personale molto gentile. Abbiamo cenato e fatto colazione e qui devo segnalare che nonostante avessero preparato solo per noi ( abbiamo addirittura ordinato prima di arrivare cosa mangiare) qualche problemino di stomaco lo abbiamo avuto ( nn abbiamo mangiato altro in quei gg). Non so se ci tornerei.

We have stayed many times over the years at Tukul Village during our visits for both business and vacation and always found friendly, efficient and cheerful service from all the staff. Alex and Melisse in Reception are willing to help out in all ways with anything that is needed. On many occasions a splendid buffet is arranged in the dining room for guests. Fresh juices are served and a good selection of local beers is always available. The staff go out of their way to offer any help and advice that might be required. We will stay again whenever we visit Lalibela and would encourage anyone else to do so too.

We spent two nights at the Tukul Village hotel in Lalibela. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The toilet and shower worked perfectly. The cleanliness of the place was excellent. The staff was amicable at all times. The cuisine was homemade and very tasty, with homemade bread, olive oil, Ethiopian coffee, etc. The hotel has a wonderful garden for outdoor dining. The Tukul Village hotel is highly recommended.

Excellent stay at Tukul Village. We are 2 sisters traveling from USA. Alex, in reception has worked here 17 years, since opening. Everyone is friendly & helpful & very professional. The food & menu choices are very good. The round tukul rooms are so charming with amazing views. This was better than we expected for first time travels to Lalibela & Ethiopia!

The Tukul Village in Gondar was our base for 3 days on a culture tour to several rock-churches in and around Lalibella with 11 people. It is essential to rate it in light of the general living and hotel conditions in Ethiopia. Central European standards must not be taken as a basis under any circumstances. That would be unfair, especially after the political crisis of 2021/2022, which is just calming down. Messay, the hotelier, and its staff make almost anything possible. Super reliable and punctual service, both for the shuttle service to and from the airport and in connection with breakfast and dinner. The rooms are designed and concepted according to the local traditional architecture. Clean, spacious, bright rooms, a Balcony, sometimes with a visit by monkeys. Fresh bottle of water in the room every day. Beds are made. Simple, functional bathrooms with hot water and water flow that could be improved here and there. Nice garden around the roomtukuls and a roofed area beside the reception to have a drink. Breakfast with bread, orange marmalade, honey and your choice of pancake or eggs. Choice of coffee or black tea. The hotel organises excursions to the rock churches, guided tours in the cityr the environment
