Everything good but no wifi
No Wifi at all in our room
There is free wifi but didn’t reach to our room…so we need to get wifi in outside 43-4 degrees. And reception didn’t help.
Otherwise everything good.
Guest house très bien placée. Près du parc de Ein Gedi avec l'arrêt de bus juste à côté pour aller à Massada et sur la plage de Ein Bokek

Masada location hostel is better for Masada
This and the sister property at Masada are basic no-frills rooms. The wide-angle photos seem to make the rooms look much larger. Our room had basically two bunkbeds and an extra bed. For one night it is suitable, but not longer.
Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene. Stanza con vista sul mar morto. Colazione e cena semplice, ma volendo abbondante. Personale
gentile

Location was perfect, the room have a very large balcony to view the dead sea.
It's a hostel, so don't expect first class luxuries. But it's comfortable and super-clean with amazingly helpful and friendly staff, and overall a terrific base for exploring the Dead Sea region.
All and all it was clean. However there were small ants around the room. :(
Problem is parking - when we came back at night we couldn’t find place to park.
Personal (englischsprachig) sehr hilfsbereit und hat gute Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt. Einrichtung einfach aber in sehr gutem Zustand. Es war alles da, was man brauchte.
Accueil très sympathique. Très bien placé, au calme, vue sur la mer avec balcon. On nous avait places à l'écart des groupes de jeunes bruyant. Déjeuner correct mais comme toute auberge de jeunesse. Juste à côté de la réserve naturelle. En pleine nature. Il faut une voiture pour aller à la plage. Très bon rapport qualité prix
