    Best weekend in Negev

    I really cannot name anything

    Let's start with the fact that the bed was orthopedic. Without any exaggeration it's the best bed we've ever had a chance to experience in a hotel. The sauna was great, the breakfast was beyond any expectations. In general this is a very unique place built by hard work of a noble family

    Our fireplace/furnace didn’t operate correctly and the night proved a bit chilly.

    The combination of the individual yurt like domiciles with the winery was lovely. We very much enjoyed our wine tasting and was very impressed with the quality of the wine. This complimented a wonderful breakfast, served outdoors in the communal cafe.

    The bathrooms were a little bit disappointing, and pretty small.

    Fantastic stay, the rooms were perfect, comfortable, and clean. The staff were really exceptional, they were attentive and, very kind and helped us with everything we needed. The restaurant was great, had a wonderful breakfast and felt very clean. Sauna was also very nice and easy to use. Great area, very calm, relaxing and lots to do in the area.

    Fantastic place! So quiet that the silence is ringing. The staff is very nice and caring, the breakfast was enough to keep us full for the most of the day. Complimentary wine was tasty, we also enjoyed free wine tasting. We rented a house with jacuzzi and it had a place for grill, so we cooked the vegetables we brought with us. Thinking of returning with all the family here.

    Clarification: the description says breakfast/lunch/dinner provided, in reality you get a lovely mixture of breads, dips, cheeses, fruit etc in the morning, and some small bits and pieces can be bought in the farm shop, but if you want a proper big meal you'll have to bring it with from somewhere else.

    A little piece of heaven in the desert, hammock and tiny pool to just chill under the olive trees. Thanking the farm dogs who came with and actually guided us as we walked up the mountain trails around the farm.

    Great attention to detail and refined sensibilities (wine, fine cheeses and gourmet breakfast) mixed with the grittiness of the Negev (the rooms are nice but connected to their roots – only ~11 rooms; owners are managing the hotel, staff and vineyard thoughtfully but in Jeans).

    It should be made clearer for the guests that this a place for relaxation not parties. The group in the cabin next to us played some loud and annoying music next to the shared pool.

    Great property in the desert. The cabin was big and spacious, the little pool was great for relaxing and the jacuzzi was great for the chilly evenings. The breakfast is really nice and they have wine tastings for free for the guests.

    Nothing, this was all we wished for!

    Great room (cabin) and location. The owners are very friendly and went out of their way to help us organize a photoshoot we were planning in the area. There is no restaurant to have dinner (nearby there are options though), but the wonderful olives, fruits, crackers, cheeses and wine (it's a winery too!) that are available, were perfect on our private terrace overlooking the mountains, sunset en enjoying the Negev desert.

    So we originally booked a cabin with a little pool, hammock, and place for grilling. The cabin was cute in theory, but the bed was too big for the bed frame and half hung off of the frame. The screens on the windows were ripped and torn which we believe was part of the main issue. After arrival to the vineyard, we quickly dropped off our stuff and had to leave. When we came back at night, we arrived to a huge infestation of mosquitoes along with other bugs. We tried to kill as many as possible but they kept coming in from all corners of the cabin and the ceiling. Staying in the cabin to sleep was not possible, and we were moved to a different and upgraded room in the complex with the help of the amazing staff. All of this happened at 11pm at night and they were just wonderful. The new room we were moved into was really nice, but the morning of check-out we woke up to a huge scorpion in between the pillows and at 6:30am had to chase it out of the room with a mop. This was not so nice and a bit frightening.

    The staff was exceptional and the lay out of the place was quaint and quiet. The breakfast was phenomenal. A wine tasting and tour of the winery was available but due to lack of time we weren't able to take advantage of it.
