Great location for Qumran and to experience kibbutz life, though other kibbutz certainly do it better. The restaurant is the biggest let down and more like a school canteen with no atmosphere or personality.The bar is OK but a long way off and next to the stables which isnt the best smell to aid relaxcation! Rooms are well appointed with... More

Good points: 1. 5 minutes' walk to the Qumran Caves National Park 2. 5 minutes' drive to the Kalia / Qalya Dead Sea Beach (free entrance with voucher from the hotel but have to pay extra for lockers) 3. Friendly & helpful staffs at the front desk & restaurant 4. Free internet in the lobby 5. Free parking in complex... More

A lush green oasis in the desert. As a guest you have free access to the Dead Sea beach which is a 5 hm drive away. The beach facilities are quite good and clean. The beds in the units were very comfortable, you have a big flat screen TV and a nice little terrace under big old trees overlooking a... More

We came because the price is approximately half of a hotel. ACCOMMODATION there are units with a very tiny bedroom. The patio with chairs and a nice grass patch outside kind of makes up for it. The units are very close to each other. The unit looks very outdated and in bad need of a paint job. Inside the unit... More

Accommodation was better than expected. Would have liked a talk and/or a tour of the Kibbutz to understand life there a bit better but this wasn't on offer. The staff weren't very friendly. Breakfast was okay but we had to go back into Jericho to find dinner! Could have been made a better experience.

A great location , near the Dead Sea. Staff helpful & friendly . Excellent rooms & great breakfast. The standard of accommodation provided a lot better than some hotels I stayed in. Would certainly recommend this place.

I am a wholly deaf solo traveller – on Monday 3rd October, 2011, I went to stay at Kibbutz Kalya near The Dead Sea for 2 nights from where I was able to visit Qumran nearby. After I got off the Egged bus at Kalya and Qumran Branching bus stop, I walked on the road in the desert towards Kibbutz... More

We stayed here for almost a week - a family of 1 kid, 2 parents and 2 grand parents. If you have no car - rent one before you come. Otherwise you cannot go anywhere (the beach is about 5Km from the place, no public transportation, too hot for walking). Car rental + room price is still cheaper than most... More

This hotel is located just 45 minutes from Jerusalem and yet so far away! We were a 5 minutes drive to the dead sea and 20 minutes to Ein Geidi. The rooms are modern with great air conditioning (needed most of the year here). On the kibbutz there is a nice pool, bar, and dinning room. The food was good... More
