| A great place to stay at the Dead Sea. I found accommodation in Israel generally expensive, so I suppose Massada Guest House was good value within an expensive frame of reference. | ||

| The evening meal is not available on shabbat. It would have been helpful to be informed of that on arrival. Great views at the hostel and the food was excellent. Perfect location for viewing masada | ||

| Everything was fine except the really bad smell coming from the drains in the bathroom. When we said something they sent someone up who sprayed some chemical in the drain. This did nothing. | ||

| Please get some lockers with locks. Great hostel. So close to Masada to make it easy to walk up to see sunrise. Not too far from Dead Sea. Easy trip with bus. | ||
