Lock in a great price for HI - Ein Gedi Hostel – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff were helpful. The rooms were ok for the price. Shabbat dinner and breakfast were good. (I didn’t arrange for dinner at time of booking, so I called a couple days prior to arrival. They didn’t change my booking, but made note to add dinner.)

Cooper, United States of America

Liked everything. Would have liked a coin laundry.

David, United States of America

Loved the gorgeous view and was super clean campus and rooms!!!

Bracha, Israel

we knew what to expect at a hostel. The chicken dinner was fine and the room and balcony was good.

Rosalyn, United States of America

Very clean, friendly, and we'll thought out. The food was very good.

Todd, United States of America

Big comfortable room with amazing view to the Dead Sea. Walking distance to the natural reserve with beautiful Creek and waterfalls.

Vladimir, United States of America

Located in a very pretty area along hwy 90, inexpensive, great starting point for hikes in the Ein Gedi National Park, and an excellent stop on the way to hike Masada Snake Trail at sunrise (you can do what we did: drive to hike the Snake Trail and be back for breakfast - which is varied, tasty and fulfilling)

Piotr, United States of America

Great view, big and clean room with balcony. Much better that we expected from a hostel. The stuff was friendly and helpful, the food was good value for that money we paid. Breakfast and dinner was buffet with medium selection.

Peter, Hungary

The property was well-maintained and very clean. The staff greeting us was exceptional – giving us information and ideas of things to do. We ate dinner as well as breakfast and both had very good food. We stayed in a room in the new building. Very new, very nice, very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Paul, United States of America

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was large and comfortable. Great location for Dead Sea and Masada.

The sheets on two of the beds where not changed before we arrived, one had blood stains on it. The mattress beneath was filthy and had bits of wood in it. The air conditioning is incredibly noisy, during the 2nd night it started dripping on our heads. We reported the problems but have not heard back from the management.
The location is great, breakfast reasonable.

In the room 31x, the water from the small shower head is very slow. And we were told it can't be fixed within one day. I guess this problem of the shower head has probably existed for a long time. In addition, after being opened, the windows cannot be closed. I told and pushed the reception 3 times from noon to 6pm, and eventually, a kind staff came to the room with some tools to close the windows at 6pm. It is my third time to stay in this hostel, but the first time to experience these situations above (with my parents).
The stunning view around the hostel Nice breakfast Cozy room Cool air conditioner

It is a pity there is no bar/cafe on site. There is a kettle and tea in the room, but nowhere to have a drink.
The location was perfect, on the bus route, easy to get to Ein Gedi spa, and right next to Ein Gedi nature reserve. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast is good and so is dinner. If you have no car, you have to eat on site as there few nearby restaurants within walking distance.

We arrived on Friday midnight, after we had been robbed in Kalia Beach. The thieves took all our suitcases and even food that we had in the car. The manager on duty sealed a broken window in our car and gave us food. Big thanks, this was a terrible evening. We are family of four, so we took a family room. The room was spacious and clean,with separate toilet and shower - this by far is not a standard in hostel type accomodation. Breakfast was OK+. If you are are an active traveller and you do not plan to spend all your time in the hostel room - perfect choice.

Unfortunately, due to sinkholes, the beaches nearby are not accessible, so you need a car to go bathing. Several services are provided in a peculiar way (e.g. you need to ask for the tv remote at reception, ). The food is not very high quality, especially breakfast was poor.
The room was spacious well equipped for a hostel, easy to access and parking was convenient. The bed was really comfortable. Right next door to the national park. There is dinner available, which is very useful as there are not many other options in the area.
