After reading reviews here and at other sites, we opted for 2 nights at Ein Harod. We were very disappointed. While the staff are great, the cabin is not. I expected more. I found the cabin a little more rustic than described and not as clean as I'd hoped. The fruit basket mentioned in a 2009 post must have been discontinued.
The porch and view of the grounds and Mt. Gilboa truly are lovely. We sat out on our porch, petting the stray kitties, each evening.
The staff are very pleasant and did recommend a very nice restaurant. The kibbutz breakfast was fine, not fancy, and people there were helpful and friendly.
I really don't want to leave a negative review. The staff are really very nice and really are trying to make this place work out well. All-in-all, I'd say go into this aware of the issues I found. Of course, we're all different. For us, this was not a place we'd recommend nor return to, but others obviously find it fits their needs well.

We stayed at the Ein Harod Country Suites & Guesthouse from the 20th to the 23rd July 2010. My party consisted of two adults and two children (aged 11 and 9 years).

We had a little difficulty finding the Ein Harod Country Suites & Guesthouse at the first attempt. Travelling from the north on the main Afula to Beit She’an road (N71) we should have taken the first turnoff for Ein Harod (Ihud). Instead we ended up taking the 2nd exit for Ein Harod (Meuhad) and found our way to the Museum of Art, which is on the edge of the Kibbutz. A helpful member of staff made a phone call to the Country Suites & Guesthouse reception, gave us directions, and let us in the back entrance to the Kibbutz.

The Kibbutz has three grades of accommodation: terraced accommodation; detached wooden zimmer type cottages with sleeping lofts, Jacuzzis, kitchen and balcony; and the luxury Iris suites. As a family we stayed in the middle range detached cottages, which were perfect for our needs and had an excellent view over Mount Gilboa across the valley. Breakfast was included in the rate and was taken with other Kibbutz members in their dining hall. Food was of course Kosher. We also had access to a large Olympic sized swimming pool.

We found the members of the Kibbutz to be most helpful and accommodating. On our first evening we met the lady who had given directions from the Museum. She invited us for dinner with her family and through this encounter we leant a lot more about life on the Kibbutz.

I would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at the Ein Harod Country Suites & Guesthouse.

The kibbutz has 3 kinds of accommodation available and we stayed in the cheapest - the kibbutz guesthouse. The rooms were basic, but OK and clean. The bathroom had shampoo/soap dispensers but no hair dryer. A kitchenette was handy, stocked with cutlery, crockery, microwave oven, tea and coffee.
Wi-fi was available in the office area, and the staff also allowed us to use a computer near the office. Breakfast was served as a buffet in the communal kibbutz hall, and consisted of salads, eggs, cheeses, cereal, breads, yoghurt etc. Again, it was basic, but you definitely wouldn't go hungry.
The staff were friendly and helpful, from the time we made an initial enquiry to when we checked out. They gave us advice on restaurants within the area, and also provided a list of places providing discounts to kibbutz guests.
The location was a great base for visiting Nazareth, the Galilee and the many other sights within the area.
You may want to splurge on the fancier accommodation available at the kibbutz but if all you need is a place to lay your head at night, the guesthouse rooms will more than suffice.

We stayed there last week for four nights upon recommendation from Israeli friends.. My husband was there on business with the dairy industry. The cabins are very plain but have nice porches with wonderful views of Mt. Gilboa and the valley. Every morning, a basket of food is given to you with enough food to last for three meals. There is a wonderful art museum and regional museum that gives you a lot of information about the creation of kibbutizm. Very interesting. You can stay in a big city hotel anywhere. Try something different.
