We really enjoyed this location and would gladly return. It's located in the middle of a national park and has an exceptional view and access.

Brent Netherlands

Very nice staff, very clean room with a lovely view.

Maya Spain

The room was nice with ice cold air conditioner! And the breakfast was incredible with incredible views from the breakfast area to match. A nice little oasis in the middle of the desert.

Jeffrey United States of America

The place had a gate and felt very safe, the rooms were clean and spacious, incredible view of the Dead Sea from the balcony. Exceptional breakfast, free parking, close to Ein Gedi park

Marina United States of America

The location and the Dead Sea view from our room (all rooms have it). It’s a fairly new building well put together. From every angle the views are superb!.

Norma Israel

A large room with a balcony and a perfect view on the Dead Sea

Yurka69 Russia

Great location, close to the bus stop and Wadi David. Fridge, tea, coffee and cattle in the room. Possibility to leave luggage at the reception on the departure day. Nice stuff.

Simona Czech Republic

Great place, by the entrence of the national park, amazing view from the rooms balcony, clean and comfortable. No shop around, make sure to buy everything you need upfront. During off season dinner available just some days- it was really good.

Jana Czech Republic

We unfortunately could not enjoy the breakfast as we were underway again to Masada, but the diner is well equipped as it is frequently used by large groups of schoolchildren. It is situated really close to the Ein Gedi spring which is great.

Vincent Netherlands

Great location, Ein Gedi Reserve is just a few minutes walk. We arrived around 11 am, but our room has already been cleaned, so we could check in, which was cool because we had big bags. Room for two (but there are four beds total) with terrace. Hot water and comfy beds. The breakfast is phenomenal; open buffet, there is a lot to choose from.
