Molla and his family are very kind and welcoming, and staying at their home will make you come into contact with a local family and its daily life. The room has basic furnishment but is nice, the bathroom could be cleaner. The surroundings are very quiet and you can sleep well. The porch and the garden, where you can get breakfast (very good fresh-squeezed juice!), are beautiful. Molla can arrange any visit and excursion at a fair price, however, he will try to program your day, including transportation and restaurant choice; If you’d like to walk and discover the little city by yourself, keep it in mind. In Lalibela a guide is absloutely needed to visit the 11 churches, both to find the entrance (there are sometimes underground passages from one to the other) and to get in touch with the spirituality of who lives there. Molla can arrange for you the best guides in the city, very kind and helpful and with a great knowledge of the sightseeing. For other visits in the surrounding area a guide is not necessary (even if they are always professional and nice), a good guidebook is enough. You’ll have to arrange a car to get there though, which can be done by Molla.
