The house is amazing. The rooms are not huge (except for the suite, which is huge) but are certainly comfortable. The rest of the house could be featured in Architecture Digest. It has a lovely pool in the backyard--access to a washing machine/dryer; a computer; wi-fi; full kitchen at your disposal.

The couple who own and run it are amazing! So kind, helpful and really cool. Beautiful facilities, great trails, moshavs (villages) in the surrounding area. As well mt. tabor is a nice hike (not hard for those experienced) Also the people in the town are very hospitable and friendly. There is also a grocery store close by, that is walking distance. For a great ride I recommend riding from Hooha to the Kinneret and if you have time/energy/iron will, you should bike around the kinneret and then bike back (there is a very very long steep hill on the way back). Or you can always call them to come pick you up for a small price (to cover gas).

Smart rooms and spacious layout makes this place closer to a boutique hotel than a hostel. There is a lounge, a reading area, a dining area, and a small but immaculate garden. Any non-cyclists who wish to explore the Galiliee region would find it an ideal base.

I arrived with my bike, and Dvor, the owner, took the time to explain road routes suitable for my Brompton folding bike.

HooHa was a great find, and is an excellent place to stay for those planning to be in the Nazareth area. While the owners took over the former residence to cater to cyclists, noncyclists can enjoy the great pool, free computer terminal and wi-fi, CD and book collection, laundry facilities, and huge kitchen. We were among the few guests, and so had the entire place mostly to ourselves. Guests can also rent bicycles and cycle around the small town using maps that the hotel provides. The owners were friendly and helpful, even going so far as to ask me to write to them if I couldn't locate a book I'd been searching for in Israeli bookstores. A great place, all in all.
