this was not our fist choice but after driving around all day in the heat from place to place and being told we're full or being told nothing because nobody was there we ended up here just as a massive group of screaming school kids turned up but the guys on reception came to our rescue. They had one room... More

Nice clean and comfortable hostel just at the food of the Masada Cliff. Plain ordinary hostel food and accommodation. There is a pool at the hostel but there was no water in it when we stayed there. There was a huge group of school kids while we were there but they behaved very well!

Just spent the last 3 days here, not bad at all for a youth hostel, we went HB the food was a bit boring in the evening, but there was plenty of it. The room was very basic but it is a youth hostel not a hotel, free WFi, air con, fridge but the best thing about this place is... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Masada Guest House during our visit to the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi, and were thrilled by the friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. The rooms are clean and simple--no frills but perfectly sufficient, especially as a backpacker. The hotel is a less than five minute walk to the entrance to Masada, which... More

The location of the guesthouse is exceptionally beautiful and picturesque at the feet of theMasada mountain and with a vast view of the Dead Sea desert. We stayed here for 3 nights and had some MTB rides in the area. You need to have a car since it is 15 minutes drive from the Dead Sea hotels area. The guesthouse... More

My friends and I stayed here after staying in a terrible little hostel in the North of Israel the previous night and we were thrilled with this place. We arrived without a booking and were accommodated without any issues. Very well organized facility, clean with great rooms. The beds were not very comfortable, but they were passable. The rooms have... More

First impressions - the location is stunning, with the seemingly palatial hostel situated between the Dead Sea and the fortress of Masada. At first I thought we had arrived at the wrong place, as it doesn't initially feel like a hostel at all. The reception is huge and cool (lovely when coming in from the desert heat!), with access to... More

After staying at the Hostel in Beit She'an the night before, we found this one a little nicer--despite the fact that I'm pretty sure they are run by the same organization. It's your basic hotel deal--dorm furniture and the like-- but the building is perfectly situated just below Masada. And the hotel has a pretty nice setup. We had a... More

We have chosen this place because we didn´t find other option in that area and it was a good choice. Location just next to Masada is excellent for a night before climbing.Reception staff were very friendly, informative and helpful. The rooms are very basic ( it is a hostel not a hotel ) but clean, a/c and fridge functional. WiFi... More

I stayed there one night with my girl. The quality of hotel is very good. Good food for breakfast and cheap dinner in the evening. 60 shekels per person. Just be careful to double check when exactly you have to meet up before you start climbing the Snake Path in the morning. For us they gave wrong time of the... More
