Massada Youth Hostel & Guest House Reviews

Great value I think. The staff don't value customer service the way we do in the West, but I can say that for all of Israel not necessarily just the Massada. One thing that bothered me is that they don't answer the phone right away.The dinner I think is a little overpriced by 12 shekels or so, but maybe that's just me. We booked a private, which turned out to be dorm with six beds, but we had the room to ourselves. The location is great. I would stay here again.

Super expensive, because they're the only ones around. But the meals are GREAT. Not only are they delicious, but they are all you can eat! You have to pay for supper, but breakfast is included. It is more of a hotel than a hostel, and some of the staff is less friendly, but it's a good place in general.

This place is not a hostel, its a big building with a lot of rooms. No guest kitchen, no laundry service, no hostel at all.

Prachtig gelegen, heel schoon, prima ontbijt, prima maaltijden voor een redelijke prijs. Maar toch nog wat duur voor gezinnen. Excellent location when visiting Masada. very clean. Gooed breakfast en good meals for a correct price. However, still expensive for families. The swimming-pool was not open, helas!

This hostel is excellent if you are planning to climb Masada at sunrise. It is big, spacious, serves fantastic breakfast, has great views of the desert and the Dead Sean in the morning and the staff is quite nice and helpful. The only thing is if you come there on a regular winter night there is just not much to do. Other than that for anyone going to Masada it's highly recommended.

More than a Youth Hostel, it can be considered as a real hostel, and a very good one! The price is quite high but it is justified by the location (you can climb to Massada Fortress at 5am to see the sunshine) and the bufftet breakfast it offers. Very good cook! The place is really clean. Nothing to blame in that place and I recommand it to everybody!

Facilities are amazing and Location is perfect. I stayed a night and enjoyed it thoroughly. P.S. Do the sunrise walk to Masada ruins

The service and the quality of the rooms was that of a real hotel. But then again the prices are similar.

It's an ideal spot to stay before climbing up to the fortress for sunrise. It's rather a hotel, rooms are spacious, and we had a balcony facing the Dead Sea - so a stunning panorama! People were helpful, and the breakfast was truly excellent (except for the coffee)!!! However, we decided to leave after one night, because there is not too much to do except for the fortress, and the hostel is, despite it's comfort, not too charming, due to it's size.

The best way to enjoy Massada! If we didn't wake up and take the hike before sunset, it would have been way too hot to truly enjoy the magic of the ruins.

Fantastic location for hiking up to Masada, but not much else. Hostel amenities are close to those of a motel.

The reservations I made through your site were not received by the Masada Guesthouse. When our group arrived, we were told we had no reservations!

Very helpful stuff! Perfect location just some minutes away from Dead Sea and just under Masada - perfect for a hike to Masada in the morning before sunrise! Great family rooms - perfect for 2 adults and 2 children or 2 couples.
