The breakfast was wonderful! The area is gorgeous... we loved the hut we stayed in. We enjoyed drinking tea on our back "deck", enjoying the night sky.. and the quiet...
The booking site was clear that credit cards were accepted. When it was time to pay, we were told it was cash only. They did take a credit card in the end since I didn't have the cash with me. Both the booking.com and the Succah in the Desert website could be more clear that it's cash only.
Also, on the booking.com site, there was nothing that mentioned reservations for dinner. We did try to call about dinner, but never heard back, so when we got there, we found out there was no dinner. We did end up driving into town, which ended up being a nice evening.
We didn't see anything about bringing our own towels. We used the pool in the late afternoon.. it would have been nice to have a towel, as it was pretty breezy and had cooled down. So, we didn't bother taking showers in the morning... too chilly without a towel, and our clothes would have gotten pretty wet. Next time we'll bring towels... :-)

Delicious food
We had rain which revealed leakages, so we slept really bad due to the constant drippings and having a half wet place. When we told this in the morning to the owner, she just said yes I know, I hadn't had time to make it. She knew rain was coming, so we were puzzled why she didn't give us a room which hadn't leakages because a lot of rooms were empty. Really overpriced compared to what you get!

Absolutely dream location. In the middle of the beautiful desert, you arrive at an ecological farm owned by an incredibly lovely family. You stay in very well made and aesthetic huts that are separated from each other, so you can get all the privacy you may need.
This was an amazing experience for us, we are so thankful for the delicious food both breakfast and dinner, for the great guests we met there.
Don't think twice about this, just take some clothes and go. Maybe also a flashlight.

Exactly what we were looking for: Tranquil, beautiful, simple. There are a small number of huts with really good distance between them. We were the only guests apart from another couple but I get a sense that this place is always quiet and peaceful. The host is very organised with check-in, breakfast and explaining how the place works. Hot showers throughout! A great little pool and very beautiful gardens and animals. Bring snacks and drinks (water is provided!) if you need lunch or dinner as this is only provided on some days.
Not cheap but shared between two is okay and it really is a very special place. Plus, I can only imagine the costs of building and maintaining a space like this with gardens and animals and pool and what not!

This is a unique place for nature and environment lovers. This place will give you an experience you would not get anywhere else. It is a combination of camping and B&B. Very nice staff, modest but very good dinner and breakfast.

location is simply fantastic, we suggest a walk towards the crater (30 min walk and a fantastic view)

lovely remote place in the desert
incredibly good vegetarian food (breakfast and dinner)

The place is very unique so beautiful. The huts are confortable and far away from each other. We had toilet in our hut but we were in touch with the place for that. Succah in the desert is not near a road so you do feel in the middle of the desert. The staff are very welcome and very nice. If you are looking for an authentic experience it is the place to be. We had the chance to be there the night they make food and the meal was delicious with plenty of different vegetables. I know they don't always make meals so make sure you bring your own food.
We loved everything.

The food was amazing - the vegetarian dinner was delicious and plentiful.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I was picked up by Ariella and Avi. Ariella tracked the arrival time and made sure I arrived safely.
Alex was always helpful with advice and her friendly smile.

We had a most enjoyable 2 night stay, disconnecting from the rest of the world. The pool was lovely for hanging out during the heat of the day. Avi very kindly picked us from the from the bus station in MItzpeh Ramon and also ferried us back when we were leaving (he even made sure we were able to top up our Rav card at the supermarket since we spoke no Hebrew). Avi’s son prepared delicious fresh, mostly home-grown food for dinner on both nights, and Alex was warm and chatty to us, making us very welcomed. We also enjoyed playing with the many dogs and Luca, the small cat with a big personality!
Nothing much. Perhaps a little more (written) information for guests travelling without a car on things to do in the area - although we did really enjoy sitting, reading, relaxing, swimming, snoozing with the pets.
4.5
It was a beautiful remote location, perfect for star gazing and reconnecting with the landscape
Nothing really, it would have been easier for us if the dinner option was an opt out rather than having to contact them to confirm it. I would expect most people would choose the meal as it is remote and the cooking facilities are basic.

the location is simply amazing!

This was our second time at Succah Bad Midbar--over 10 years earlier. In the intervening years, they added a pool, which was wonderful, and a gourmet breakfast and dinner option. Missed the comradery of all eating in the same reception area together, but the food was excellent in the new tent dining area.
Missed the handmade textiles on the walls, floor and furniture in the rooms.

Pool closes at 7PM. Difficult to experience the desert during the day and then get there and see the pool closed...
Missing a fire pit to have a tea at night under the stars.

The staff was incredibly nice, polite, and helpful. The food was delicious.
The furniture was a little too old. So were the sheets and the covers in the room. The seats in the dining room were very uncomfortable and gave me back pain.
