to get started.

AMAZING LOCATION!!!! View of the Dead Sea from our room. Great breakfast. Nice property (room very basic but better than expected for a hostel). Best part...the entrance to Massada was literally 200 feet away from the parking lot to the Hostel.

Jeff, United States of America

The location! You are right at the base of Masada so it’s easy to access for the sunrise hike. Also the man at the front desk, super helpful.

Pamela, United States of America

Decent breakfast (included), pretty good dinner for extra fee. Nice and friendly staff.

Ella, United States of America

This is a great place to stay to visit the Dead Sea and Masada! The food was buffet style for both breakfast and dinner with many options. I recommend eating dinner here as there are not a lot of options nearby.

Susan, United States of America

The hostel is an entire facility with many perks such as a pool, a cafeteria, basketball court, etc. Loved the ice cold water fountain at the entrance after a brutal hike up the snake path. Its located at the base of the park so it's easy to access.

Ana, United States of America

It was the only place in israel i was able to get scrambled eggs with my breakfast and at the end of a three week trip that was incredible.

Scot, United States of America

Breakfast was good. The air conditioning was not as cool as we might have liked. Also it is unfortunate that the pool is not open in the evening and there was no ball to use at the basketball court.

Emily, United States of America

The location is good. 15 min by bus from Dead Sea.

Amazing location, room ok for the price, dinner could be a little better but staff are friendly. Pool is lovely.

“First time when I liked everything in a hostel”

This is a wonderful hostel, offering way more than you usually expect from a hostel, especially considering the fact that thry don't have much competition in the desert around. Even a shared room has shower and bathroom inside, a kettle and a fridge. Thr breakfast was very tasty and rich. The hostel is located right next to Masada, 3 minutes ftom the bus stop. Most people come there for sunrise climbing to Masada so you'll never be alone on that Snake path early morning which is good. The personal is very friendly and helpful. All the facilities were in very good conditions. Highly recommended!

Swimming pools closes at 18:00 which is early
When the man at the reception learnt that I stay for 3 nights he gave me a separate room instead of a bed in the the dormitory, which was really sweet. The breakfast is amazing after all the hummus you finally can find eggs in their different variations and different bread as well. The location is awesome too, busses to nearby places go often as well. The swimming pool is an oasis in the middle of the desert.

So my advice is to bring your own food for dinner for the night you arrive. The only option for food is a 60 nis dinner buffet at the hostel. The woman who runs the restaurant and is in charge of seating you is rude and disgusting. I watched her not once but TWICE walk by the buffet and stick her finger aggressively into the food and eat and lick it off her fingers. So so gross. Also the food quality is poor and cheap and just not very appetizing. I was still hungry when I went to bed even though it was a buffet. Just don’t do it. Do the breakfast I guess bc it’s included in the price of your stay and you will be starving after the sunrise hike but just beware 🤢.
The location! You are right at the base of Masada so it’s easy to access for the sunrise hike. Also the man at the front desk, super helpful.

A bit noisy at night. Dinner could be better but there is no other option around.
Clean, cosy and spacious room. Overall, the hostel is great, with a very nice pool. Perfect location to climb Masada for sunrise.

No AC in the lobby and the hallways - it's suffocating when it's over 100F outside. Can't regulate AC in the room. Rooms could be cleaned a little better. Pool should be open longer in the summer.
Decent breakfast (included), pretty good dinner for extra fee. Nice and friendly staff.

We had not checked that we had booked rooms with balconies next to each other so we were in very small rooms and separated. This was our fault and we would know for next time.
We love this hostel. It feels so right to be in a minimal hostel in this landscape. And the swimming pool is a great bonus.

The food at dinner and breakfast is inedible. 2 tiny saches of liquid soap in the shower which was not even sufficient for 1 shower let alone for 3 people.
The location is fantastic......a couple minutes walk from the bottom of Masada which was perfect especially if doing a sunrise walk up. The pool was really clean and a very welcome relief from the heat and after walking up Masada.
