The architectural design and layout of the Massada Hostel/Guesthouse is fantastic! The food offered at breakfast was plentiful and varied. From all the bed/breakfasts that we stayed at during our stay in Israel, this place offered the best food. If we had to do it again, we'd stay longer than one night.

A great place to stay if one is climbing Masada for the sunrise. Substantial dinner. Great staff.

This is very nice hostel, clean, warm. Breakfast is not like in the hostel, but more like in the hotel, very tasty. It is a little bit far from the Dead Sea (20 min by bus to Ein Geden)

een heerlijke plek om te wezen! een goede uitvalsbasis om de woestijn te leren kennen.

The hostel is in a great location where you can walk up to Messada at sunrise from the door and the views from the large terrace are beautiful. The rooms are like a hostel; bright and clean and there is an excellent swimming pool. The only drawback for us was the food in the evening which was poor; it was like school dinners, plenty of of it but very basic. The spa down the road was similar so it may be the location that makes it difficult to cater. However we would stay there again withought any hesitation and it was a highlight in our week.

When we arrived it was quiet and like an oasis. Then the school-groups arrived, and hell broke loose. We know that it is important to learn the youngsters about Masada and give them a good stay, but it really made a negative impact on our stay. Instead of enjoying Your terrasse we barricaded ourselves inside our room.

the smell of cleaning products in the room was overpowering. swimming pool is excellent. Not a peaceful stay, as there at the same time as 100 plus adolescent school students.
