| Staff seemed really grumpy and acted like they didn't like thier job. The location makes up for it. Dinner is very expensive and not worth your money try and bring grocies to this hostel because there isn't much around where you can buy food. | ||

| Good base for exploring Ein Gedi nature reserve and taking baths in the Dead Sea. Internet was available, not for free though. No lockers. Cats and ibex deer wander in the compound. Breakfast was quite good, and dinner ok too. Only problem was this horde of horribly noisy school kids - if their teachers can't restrain them, the hostel staff should have done it. Recommended. | ||

| It was extremely noisy due to school classes shouting until 1 a.m. | ||

| The dorms were priced nicely, however the dinner was rather expensive. With little elsewhere to go, what is a boarder to do? | ||

| The receiptionist seemed to be a bit tired and we didn't feel she was wishing a lot to answer our questions, although she tried to be polite. Since Ein Geni was a new place for us, it would be nice to get some recommendations as for where to go and what to see around. | ||

| The dinner in the hostel was great! A huge buffet for 64 Schekels. Very good deal. | ||

| The woman on the front desk when we checked out on 17 August was appalling. Any query was greeted with complete apathy, we had to resort to asking other travellers for the information that we required. | ||

| This hostel is fantastic - service, location, facilities. My husband and I stayed in a fabulous room with large private terrace overlooking the dead sea. It was magical. I remember this hostel many years ago as one building way at the back...now it has expanded and offers true value for money, wonderful experience and can't wait to visit again. We had a car with us but for those without a car buses are close by and ein gedi beach is walking distance as well as the nature reserve. Fab...fab...fab | ||
