Gheralta Lodge
Lodge
👍👍 I really liked this place a lot. Stunning views, nicely laid out, relaxed and quiet. The food was good. Simple, but nice. Good value for money (about 25 USD per night for a smallish single room, when I stayed in July 2019).

😠 This was the worst place we've been to in our whole 3 weeks in Ethiopia. The faranji rate is 70$ per night and they have no hot water. Actually, it's not even lukewarm. This seems to be a continous problem, they said many guest would complain about that and it was a problem with their system. During...

Incredibly monotonous breakfast buffet.\n\nThat annoying AF club on the 6th floor goes all night on the weekends, and the patrons wander the halls, drunk, knocking on random doors.\n\nStay here just until space opens up at the Homeland. Or better yet, just leave Tigray entirely.",n...

WiFi is horrible, room is pricy, water comes and goes and no one is willing to help fix issues, my brother and sister had to change three rooms already due to lack of water in the toilet, the receptionist was being rude to them....
