My wife and I stayed here for two nights in March 2012. The rooms are built in the traditional style with a lower floor that would normally be for animals and an upper room for the family. We stayed in a lower floor room, clean well maintained, large bathroom with lots of hot water. The meeals were adequate, more substance... More

After 3 and 1/2 weeks traveling in Ethiopia with the worst internet, unable to get onto my Yahoo mail, I went to the dining room at Tukul Village- Lo and behold, the internet was fast! Just like the US! Ooh! 418 e mails. Maybe I shouldn't have looked. The rooms were stunning! I was so in need of a hot... More

We are so happy we picked Tukul Village for our stay in Lalibela. It was a great location near the churches and other sights. The rooms on the second floor have great views over the valley. The staff is very friendly, the food is good, the rooms are clean and very big. We were in the newer buildings which are... More

Great rooms after trekking but uncooked pasta served up or raw egg for breakfast is simply inexcusable. Food simply let's down what could otherwise be a really good hotel. X More

I had a great time at the Tukul. I stayed there at the beginning of April, 2012 and had a great time. It's a wonderful town with some of the greatest human made sites on the planet. Great service at this hotel, great food, and a great view with clean, really nice rooms. More

After two nights at the Mountain View, the Tukul was a delight! Spacious, clean and well decorated rooms with excellent bathrooms. A comfortable bed. Warm and friendly service. They went out of their way to be of help. Excellent and reasonably priced food in the restaurant - and the only time we were served warm bread rolls in Ethiopia!. A... More

Tukul Village is one of the very best managed and appointed places I have stayed in Ethiopia. I took my dad and was hoping for everything to be "perfect" as it was his first time to Africa, let alone Ethiopia. Messay, the Directing Manager, is always around to help answer questions, as are the rest of his staff, but it... More

For the price, about £43 per room per night (inc. breakfast), I would very much expect not to have to pay 210 birr each way from the airport. That said, Tukul Village is a class above many Ethiopian hotels with very clean rooms, large and bright, working electrics and consistently 'on' wifi. It's a little out of the village, but... More

We were greeted by ATO MAASI the owner and made comfortable in the grand Ethipoean style. The Tukuls are now completed on the site and add a rustic air to the hotel. The staff is very attententive and resourceful. The food from breakfast to dinner was resonably priced and more than adequate. We found the dishes well seasoned and tasty.... More

Modern, clean and well furnished rooms with excellent views over the town and easy walking distance from the churches. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food is both plentiful and tasty (the bread is superb). This was one of few places we found outside Addis with wi-fi (which was free and high speed). Our only minor gripe... More
