The couple in charge of the property are sharp, kind, and very orientated towards service.
Great people. Highly recommended. I stayed in the ground apartment. The architecture is beautiful, cozy.
Completely satisfied

Irene and her husband created a warm-hearted and authentic place just beneath the Nativity church in the heart of Bethlehem. You will live in an 200 years old house in a newly reconstructed room which gives you the intense feeling of having changed time (although enjoying the amenities of modern times). Everything is made individually: From the warm welcome, to the room and the served breakfast (the bread comes from a little bakery beneath). On top the owners will tell you about all necessary sites of the city but - more important - about daily life (and traditions) of (Christian) Palestinians and their families. Learned a lot! The place is highly recommended and is truly a "hidden champion" in Bethlehem for everybody who likes to experience Bethlehem the authentic way!

The owners are fabulous! Super kind and helpful.
The location provided via booking.com wasn't exactly correct, so we struggled to find the entrance. Perhaps email them ahead of time to get the exact location before you arrive.

Irene is super lovely and helpful and the room was really nice
4.6
Great host. Nice B&B house with 3 bedrooms for guests. The host lives with her family next door and she is quick to respond and help. Nicely decorated although the rooms downstairs are a bit dark. Ideally located in the old city. Great breakfast.

The property is centrally located and within walking distance of Nativity of Christ and other heritage sites. If coming for medical Exam Immigration Visa , next door you will find Dr. Robert Sabash, making this place ideal for close proximity and convenience, which was the purpose of our trip. We came for a medical appointment for immigration, and discovered exceptional Hosts. They assisted in every facet of our Trip, which included fair taxi services by Michael and other taxi drivers who went out of there way to help us under the care of the Host per what we needed. An amazing breakfast that felt as if it was served by a 5 star hotel. The rooms are authentic in the Bethlehem experience so get ready to experience the best that Bethlehem has to offer. Our family felt as though we were honored guests. The Host offered a hospitality experience that was above and beyond any we have ever experienced, similar to 5 star stays we have been at I n the past. I want to say sincerely, If you want the best of everything on your trip, you gotta stay at Qandeel Dar Botto. Thank you, Botto family for such a wonderful experience. Truly Amazing!

The accommodation was really worth the money. I travelled there with my parents and we had a full experience living in an old Palestinian house. Everything was clean, the host were available for any questions and the breakfast wonderful. Highly recommended!

Breakfast was wonderful! Irene remembered each day what we liked.
Bed mattress not as soft as we were used to, but certainly fine.
4.6
The host was just amazing made you feel at home, her hospitality was top notch. Breakfast was perfect and we did have some good conversation. She gave us some history about the accommodations and told us we were home. We would most definitely stay here again. Location was a short walking distance to the square and the markets.
The only thing for myself was the bed was too hard, I have a slightly bad back and need a softer mattress, although I did sleep well. Just woke up a bit stiff.

We had a wonderful time at Qandeel Guesthouse. It is a cozy place located right in the beautiful old town of bethlehem. Our hosts Irene and Mona were very sweet and welcoming and helped us with any question that we had. Also they provided us with homemade palestinian breakfast, which was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality !
4.6
Irene and her family were wonderful to meet and she had clearly done a lot of work to renovate the property which has been in the family for a long while. Historical elements were particularly interesting and we have a lot of respect for everything that they have achieved need to make sure it is a warm and friendly guest house.
The bed was ultra comfortable in the big room - we were given a couple of heaters which helped as it was very cold in the room when we arrived.
The breakfast cooked by her mother in law was awesome - very simple but hit the spot.
Irene was also kind enough to keep our luggage during the day and wait for us over the time we originally said.
We spent nearly 2 hours walking around in Bethlehem trying to find the property - this was because the walking directions on booking.com were totally incorrect, nobody we asked knew of the guesthouse and when we were actually outside or nearby, there was no indication that we were at the destination - (ie street number, nearby locations or signs), hence we missed it at least once. We had no internet or phone credit to call whilst we were walking around.
It is hence really important that it is easily found for guests - even automatically emailing a clear description with directions once booked would be useful.
Also the description of the double room needs to be clarified - the private bathroom is technically private but is not in the room.
You have to cross a kitchen to enter the bathroom which is sufficient but actually quite small. Potentially for a full guesthouse someone else may think they can use it as it’s in the kitchen (communal area) away from the room.
I can see someone else commented on this earlier. These factors should be made clear on the room description so there are no surprises. The other rooms in the property seem to have en-suite bathrooms.
Also my husband didn’t realise there was a switch outside in the kitchen for the hot water so endured a very cold shower! Perhaps a sign near the switch would help.
Finally it’s important to be aware that the guesthouse is cash only for payment so perhaps booking.com needs to specify the price in ILS because we ended up paying a little bit more than what was quoted in GBP for us.

Nice peaple, nice traditional house,good area, in the centre of the old town. Good breakfast, fresh orange juice, fresh bread, local produce.
They kept our luggage for few hours. Irene helped us with the taxi drivers and she gives any information you need. Keep the good work!!
Our toilet was outside the room in a kitchen where they make your breakfast. It was cold and humid, besides the offer of trying to warm the place for us.I wouldn't recommend for the winter.
