Great basic accomodations

These are basic, comfortable accomodations. Very, very clean - nice seating area, great air conditioning. It could use a bit sprucing up - it is obvious were certain renovations were made, but the work is a bit sloppy - there should not be remnants of adhesive on the bathroom walls, same for other repairs. It's a shame that there are so many stray cats outside, because when you go out very early in the morning, when it is really nice outside, you are confronted with the smells of the cats activities. The staff is very friendly and accomodating.

Our room was very tired and in need of a refurb. The photos on Hotels.com were clearly taken a long time ago! Windows would not lock. Good little grocery available on the kibbutz, (limited opening hours) useful as the dining room is not open in the evening during the week. Pleasant and friendly little tea room, but again limited opening hours.

una vera oasi nel deserto

molto accogliente, pulito e ricco di agevolazioni; ottimo la possibilità di avere un angolo cucina in camera per potersi preparare un caffè o un te caldo; ottima la pulizia e la disponibilità; Piacevole anche la tea House ove poter pranzare o cenare con prodotti locali freschissimi
