Great place to Relax in the Judean Hills. On the grounds are the Biblical gardens showing how people lived and worked in Biblical times.

Great place to begin a tour of Israel, great staff!

Beautiful setting, warm welcome upon arrival which always appreciated when in foreign land!

Easy check in and perfect for a quick overnight stay while on the road. The rooms are simple, but clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful with setting up a baby bed

Poor and old facilities. Guest room has too small bed, not working airconditioner with terrible molds, dirty curtain, no amenity, no shower curtain in bathroom. Poor breakfast. This is not hotel. It's just terrible inn. We asked to cancel all the reservation when checking in. Rejected because their manager was absent. We should stay in the terrible room. Actually airconditiomers me us to ask them to change room in the night. They asked us to pay 1day penalty charge in the next morning. Finally 2days refund was possible. We should paid 2days charge including 1day penalty charge. The photos in their web site is lying. It was most terrible Inn. Don't trust.

Yad HaShmona is between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It has wonderful food, warm wood-style rooms, and a welcoming staff. Not too much in the immediate area but we loved it for its convenience to Ben Gurion and it’s peaceful location in the Judea foothills overlooking the Med Sea.

I had to check out early so I went to the service desk the night before and let them know. They checked me out that night with the understanding Id return the key to the night guard. They also volunteered to send me off with a breakfast basket. That arrived to my room about an hour later even though the chef was gone for the day. The basket was filled with a great breakfast that stretched and took care of my lunch meal also. Very pleased; thanks again!

We booked one night at the Yad Hashmona Hotel. Check-in was fast and efficient. The room had everything you need for a comfortable stay: a TV with many channels, Wifi, a refrigerator, a kettle, various tea and coffee bags and a fruit plate. There is free parking on site. Breakfast was varied and satisfying. Around the hotel is a biblical garden that recreates life in biblical times. Beautiful and interesting buildings with plants that are well known in the Bible.Check-out was fast and efficient. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Loved the Biblical garden. Hilltop landscape was stunning. Breakfast was fantastic. Second time at this hotel. Won’t be my last.

Yad Hashmona is an excellent choice of stay in the greater Jerusalem area. Its close location allows access to Jerusalem quite easily, Tel Aviv to the east and also good access to the north south main road, Hwy 6. The environment, staff and food are rather uniquely positive. Some of the rooms would be considered quite average 3 star per comfort level. Environment and setting is 4 star.

beutiful quiet location. nIce rroms and wonderful brunch

Nice hotel close to Jerusalem. Breakfast was really good and the staff are nice and friendly.

We stayed here because we were meeting friends the next morning for the brunch offered here, which is not to be missed! Best brunch in Israel in my opinion. The hotel is nice but not really luxurious. The wooden rooms are reminiscent of Scandinavia but are not super large. There is a nice balcony that looks out over the beautiful scenery of the Judean Hills. The bed (s) were comfortable but like other hotels in Israel, were really two single beds pushed together, not necessarily the best welcome for couples. The room was spotless. The bathroom was okay and had a tub. But taking a shower meant climbing into the tub - the side was pretty high and I think would be challenging for older people or those with limited mobility. I also thought it was a bit offputting that rather than bar soap, small shampoo bottles, etc. there were dispensers near the sink and in the shower/tub. All in all, a very nice place to say if you are interested in what the community has to offer (a nice Biblical garden in addition to the restaurant), but not something I would go out of my way to use again.

I had a excellent day good food awesome staff . Highly recommend .

Beautiful views of Jerusalem forests around the hotel and night views allows one to see the lights of Tel-Aviv. Very quiet with excellent friendly Staff. Great parking plenty of space! Good breakfasts available! No complaints. WOULD DEFINITELY COME HERE AGAIN.

Beautiful grounds, comfortable cozy cabins and great breakfasts. Right off highway 1 just out side the city.
