“Feels like home in the middle of bustling Addis”

Best breakfast and nicest people

“Best Host”

This host has been so kind w us. I have been changing dates for the trip due to scheduling and health issues, and she was really nice and accommodating. For this, I can only give best marks :)

“Amazing”

We enjoyed staying in this pleasant beautifully decorated house with the lovely host Genet and her 4 puppies. She was very warm ,welcoming and treated us like a member of the family. Genet was very efficient and organised and updated us regularly before our arrival. She arranged safe transport for us ,gave us very useful tips and reccomeded lovely places to dine at. Every day she prepared amazing traditional breakfast dishes and before we left even gave us her own home made berber and another special powder. Loved staying here and will always remember Genet

Excellent rooms

“10/10 awesome stay!”

If you are looking for accommodation in Addis, look no further! Genet is a lovely caring host, who goes out of her way to make her guests feel comfortable. Her house is beautiful and feels like a cozy home away from home. Thanks for everything Genet, I can't wait to come back!

“Feeling at home right away”

Great host!!! Charming house!

“An Ideal Guest House in the Addis Ababa suburbs”

Wonderful host and home. In a quiet (for Addis) suburb. Perfect breakfast and hospitality. Elegant traditional sitting room with lovely books. Kindness all around the house. Only 12 minutes (no traffic) from the airport (but well east).

My stay was an absolute 10/10. Everything from the staff, over the food to the rooms was great. Genet was so warm and welcoming and was taking care about everything with so much love. Thanks for the stay - definitely coming back soon.

“An amazing lady. A wonderful stay. Great base to explore.”

We can't express enough how wonderful it was to stay with Genet and her doggies.! She welcomed us with open arms and it was great to come "home" ( because that what it feels like ) after a busy day exploring Addis. Breakfast was different everyday and we looked forward to chatting with Genet in the mornings over coffee. She was brilliant in helping us with getting in touch with the right people in order to explore this amazing country and we whole heartedly thank her for being there for us when our flight was cancelled last minute and we had to return for one more night. The area is safe and has everything you need close by. The room we had was huge and comfortable with an excellent mattress. It was with tears in our eyes when we finally left and we hope to meet her again one day.

“Nice and comfortable guest house that serves a very good Ethiopian breakfast, with host who provides excellent services”

Excellent breakfast , very hospitable host, who went out of her way to assist us.

“Amazing guest house experience”

Home away from home, thank you so much Genet.

“I cannot wait to return!”

Kefetew Guest House is a beautiful, comfortable home away from home.

“At Kefetew Guest House, checking in feels like joining an authentic Ethiopian family.”

At Kefetew Guest House, checking in feels like joining an authentic Ethiopian family. Run by the talented artist and owner, Genet, the warmth and charm are palpable from the start. The rooms, adorned with traditional textiles and local crafts, offer a comfortable and culturally rich stay. Beyond accommodation, the communal dining experience fosters a sense of community, making Kefetew a unique haven for those seeking genuine Ethiopian hospitality. In this cozy retreat, Genet's artistic touch extends beyond the decor, creating an immersive and memorable experience for every guest.

Amazing owner and staff, very kind and caring. Great breakfast layout each morning, comfortable rooms and beds!

The owner of the place is a nice lady and very fun to chat with. The breakfast is included in the price and delicious. We had a large bedroom that had a little living room attached. Overall, you get very good value for the price.

“Great value”

Genet is an incredible host, who made our days in Addis Ababa so comfortable and interesting. She arranged the sightseeing for us and gave instructions to our nice and humorous guide Mesay. As we visited the beautiful religious festival Meskel, she checked with him if everything went well. With Martha, her help, she prepared the most delicious breakfasts, even when we had an early flight. Her dogs are so funny and are always with her. We were lucky we could sit with Genet at the rooftop terrace of her beautiful decorated house, where she told us about her life. Our bedroom and private bathroom were spacey and clean. If you visit Addis, don’t look any further, book at Kefetew guesthouse!
