Lalibela: Historic Home of Architectural Wonders

Hotel Maribela is located in the heart of the Lalibela mountains. Spacious and modern rooms, all with breathtaking views of the Ethiopian highlands. Hotel Maribela was built with a very appealing design, inspired by the famous rock churches of Lalibela. The tasteful interior decoration gives every guest the very best in Lalibela hospitality.

The Name, "Maribela" literally means Lalibela in Amharic. We chose this Name to honor King Lalibela who was the saint and builder of both the town and rock churches. Legend has it that on the day of his birth bees surrounded him but did no harm because even they recognized his greatness. Thus his mother Named him, Lalibela, otherwise known as the honey to provide you with a stay just as sweet as honey but worthy of Royalty.

What Our Guests Say

The best of its hotels is the Maribela, modest but charming. Rooms are comfortable, the staff helpful, and the restaurant is excellent – be sure to ask for the local honey at breakfast. But the great draw is the view. The hotel is on an escarpment and every room comes with a balcony overlooking a vast swath of Biblical landscape ...The Telegraph

My friend and I stayed 2 nights in the Maribela hotel in Lalibela. It is a lovely place to stay - rooms are good size and have all amenities, but above all a nicely presented balcony with stunning views. Perfect location in Lalibela.

stayed two days at Maribela Hotel in Lalibela. Everything was excellent. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The room has everything you need. Best is the view from the balcony! Make a point to sit and watch the sunset. Restaurant is good.

This is a very very nice hotel in Lalibela offering a spectacular view, super professional service, and good local food. It is located on a hillside on the outskirts of the city, but only a 10min fantastic walk from the main city square.

The hotel is great. Fabulous views, large rooms with balcony, really clean and helpful and friendly staff, nice ambiance with an open fire downstairs for cold nights. The hotel organised a wonderful informed guide for us to explore the churches.
