A lovely stay at Kefetew Guest House!

Kefetew Guesthouse is a soulful place. Beyond all my expectations! Genet, our hostess, is full of heart and a wonderful cook. I arrived tired, dehydrated, and with a cold, I left healed and invigorated. The place itself is a safe haven, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside, yet conveniently located next to a food stall, multiple restaurants and the supermarket. The decor is rustic in the best of sense, the bed is incredibly comfy, the shower is hot and the hospitality exceptional and unmatched! Many guests are return guests and I understand why. A very homey stay, like visiting family. I hope to be back.

Coming home (Ethiopian style) from a busy day in a very busy city

The hospitality of the guest lady and her house assistant, the delicious food made with great care and proud, the nice conversations, the authentic-stylish interior...

Nothing that the guest lady could change or improve!

Superb

We stayed at Kefetew Guest House as part of our vacation in Addis and had a great and memorable time. The owner lovingly takes care of her guests and is also a great cook. Since she knew I was from Germany and liked potatoes, there were potato dishes every day that were so deliciously prepared and seasoned that I liked them better than many places in Germany. The hostess is also very entertaining and helpful. She has experienced a lot and likes to tell about her life, always with a laugh. When I got stomach problems on the second day due to the change of food, she took loving care of me. She brought fresh fruit and baked light meals for my recovery. The amenities at Kefetew Guest House also include five dogs (love to Desta!) who always provide the best entertainment. We even had the honor of taking an excursion by car through Addis in animal company. Last but not least, the hostess showed us many things in Addis that we would not have discovered without her and had even more recommendations for us, e.g. which museums are worth seeing and where we can get good souvenirs. She made our vacation an unforgettable experience and we would choose Kefetew Guest House again anytime. It made our vacation a very personal and social experience, which we certainly would not have had in a hotel in this form.

During our stay, there were intermittent problems with the hot water. However, the bathrooms are being renovated anyway and this is probably a problem of the past.

I dont often submit a review but Genets Guesthouse is something very autentic and special. The house is amazing as described in other reviews, you feel like you are family not a visitor. I came back to The place at a later stage and not at any stage did I have the feeling, that i was received because of Tourist money. Genet has lived in California many years, she has lots of local contacts, while i was there. I will come back asap when staying in Addis on My next trip, Ethiopia is fantastic and Genet made me have the best start possible.

Amazing host who is an exceptional cook. Very friendly and will help you organise a driver and recommend where to go. She even got us great seats at the Yod Abyssinia cultural show. Room upgraded at no extra charge, spacious and clean. Good upstairs space to relax. We hope to return!

BEST B&B IN ADDIS ABABA🖤

Genet is an amazing host! She went out of her way to make my stay as much comfortable as possible. I’ve mentioned that it is important for me to have a reliable WiFi connection and she actually purchased an extra usb WiFi just in case before my arrival. Also she has upgraded my room at no charge. Unfortunately my trip was poorly planned so I stayed less than I initially wanted to, but those few days I stayed I was able to enjoy an incredibly creative and free-spirited atmosphere of Kefetew Guesthouse. My favorite was our conversations with the host during awesome breakfast

Warm and caring host!

Genet is a warm, gracious and considerate host. Really one of a kind! We loved listening to her interesting stories over breakfast - which by the way is genuinely one of the best we’ve ever had on our travels. We also appreciated her inviting us to a dinner party she hosted. The guesthouse’s location is a bit away from the city centre but Genet helped us to arrange transport with Mickey and Tilahun (both very pleasant and helpful young men). What you may lose in terms of location though you more than make up in terms of the warmth of the hospitality!
