Background  There are many reasons for mothers not receiving modern obstetric care, being dissatisfied by health care deliveries is one of the major factors. There are limited studies about maternal satisfaction with labor and delivery care services in Ethiopia and particularly in the study area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to better understand client satisfaction on existing labor and delivery care service and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the University of Gondar Teaching Hospital, Ethiopia.    Methods  This institution based cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gondar Referral Hospital. 593 mothers who gave birth between July and September 2016 were enrolled. Study participants were selected by systematic random sampling. A standardized, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive and summary statistics were performed. A linear regression model was fitted and variables having a P value of ≤0.05 in the multivariable model were considered statistically significant.    Result  Overall, 31.3% of mothers were satisfied by the existing labor and delivery care. Living in rural areas  (-2.9%; 95% CI: -5.75,-0.12)  and the presence of a co-morbidity  (-3.2%; 95%CI:-5.70, -0.72)  were the factor which have a negative influence on maternal satisfaction. On the other hand, travel time to reach to the hospital (hours)  (0.79%; 95% CI: 0.07, 1.52) , birth by episiotomy or assisted vaginal delivery  (6.3%; 95%CI: 1.56, 11.04) , and receiving cost-free maternal health services  (6.66 % ; 95%CI: 3.31, 10.01)  were the factors that had positive influence.    Conclusion  The level of satisfaction of laboring mothers with the labor and delivery care services was poor. Rural residency and chronic medical co-morbidity were negatively associated with level of satisfaction while travel time, mode of delivery, and payment free delivery service had a statistically significant positive influence on satisfaction.
