Very average breakfast. Had to pay for dinner that was expensive and very average. Frozen schnitzel. Door not hot. Basically bad camp food. No pool. Just sleep there and leave
Food was terrible. No plates or cups in room. Nothing to cut up fruit. No water.
Wasn’t a cheap hostel

Breakfast was amazing. Rooms are spacious and clean. There is free parking and the staff are wonderful.
The heat in the area brings out the spiders and bugs, so keep doors closed tight.

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.
Due to sinkholes, it was not possible to visit the dead sea in this location anymore. The checkin was a little problematic, as we didn't see a sign to the office, which is hidden behind some other buildings. The man greeting us however was very friendly.

Room very spacious with a kettle and air conditioning. Balcony was a huge bonus - and great view. Buffet breakfast and dinner were both good.
No shops nearby which can't be helped but makes it hard to have lunch. But it's worth it to be so close to national park etc. Location on booking.com is a bit off so we ended up going up a big hill which was a struggle with bags in the heat.

Very good breakfast, we didnt expected a balcony-amazing view! very flexible checkout!
7.0
The location is excellent, with panoramic view of the Dead Sea from the room balcony.
The staff is friendly.
The breakfast buffet is rich and full of fresh options.
Good AC in the room.
Large bathroom.
The balcony door lock was broken, and we couldn't get it fixed during our stay.
The shower drain couldn't take all the water (worth mentioning that the shower water pressure was quite strong) and taking a short shower flooded the entire bathroom and almost spilled over into the room.
The elevators were out of service.

The large rooms have a very good hotel level, everything new and in a very good condition. The Ein Gedi National Park is just next door, no other accomodation is so near! The breakfast buffet was as its best, enormous range of freshly cooked food and fruit. Extremely recommendable for single travellers, families and groups. We had a wonderful room with a large terrace facing the Dead Sea. The staff was helpful, explained where you can still go for a bath (no fee). Highly appreciated: The open air fitness park (calisthenics), the playing ground and other sport facilities on the grounds of the hotel. Have you ever done a sport unit facing the Dead Sea? That is your chance to do it. Or just hang out in the safe and comfortable hotel ground.
7.0
The facilities were really good, much better then the standard and our expectations.
The bed was the only disappointment because it was 2 single beds together but everything else was great :)
9.0
localization, pleasant design, all stuff needed in the room, really nice workers
8.0
The rooms and bathrooms are spacious. The personnel is friendly and helpful.
Room rates are the only reasonable ones in this area. And there are almost no flies ouside - unlike in the more expensive main Kibbutz.
Wide distances to the next possibilities of accessing the beach. This is outside the hostel's control but an alarming ecological consequence.
Outside seating possibilities would be a good upgrade to the hostel's dining room.
