“very pleasant stay”

I enjoyed learning about the owner's efforts to be environmentally conscious and the technological and other tools used to maintain the site.

“Beyond all expectations!”

Everything was perfect! Halil is incredible host, hospitable, caring, and considerate! The apartment is quiet, spacious, well organized, and fully equipped. Delicious dinner and breakfast not to mention the best tea and coffee we have ever had! Definitely recommend!

Everything about the stay was excellent,

“Indeed Hospitable”

I & my boyfriend decided to be alone celebrating Christmas in a peaceful place outside a busy city & we found this place, and the owner Mr.Khalil & his family are so thoughtful & generous to all of his customers and very hands-on in everything, making sure you got all you need, your comfortable & the food it's fantastic, all his customers gather and eat together like a family, and great to know amazing people while we eat together, you got your kitchen in the room so you can cook if you want, the place is amazingly preserved & we are probably gonna come back again & again💚highly recomend🥰

Nice and interesting place in the Negev. We were taken a very good care of. Our 2 year son loved the place, had a lot of fun with local kids and was reluctant to leave :-) It was a pleasure to meet Khalil and his family. Importantly, you can get diner there on Sabbath when you arrange it before hand. If you arrive in Israel on Friday evening as we did, that is something you will appreciate. Very good communication with the host. Excellent food.

Great hospitality, great diner.

“The whole stay felt like we were visiting friends not a hotel.”

Khalil and his family are very attentive people, who contacted us beforehand to make sure we would find everything all right and so they could prepare for our visit. We had dinner there which was homemade and delicious! Khalil sat with us and two other guests and we had a talk throughout dinner. His wife had cooked and we can highly recommend having dinner there as well! We also had to leave early for sunrise at Masada and they packed us breakfast. They are very kind and helpful hosts, but not intrusive whatsoever. Thank you Khalil and family for having us!

“Great experience”

The family was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Language was a bit of a problem for our hostess as we don't speak Arabic and her English is not so good, but we managed. We didn't arrange for a supper but our hostess provided us with delicious Bedouin tea and a very tasty Bedouin dish made of rice cooked in leaves. I'm sorry we didn't arrange for a supper. We slept vey well on thick Bedouin mattresses with quilts. The next morning we chatted to Khalil whose English is very good. It was a great experience and we were served excellent Bedouin tea and a fantastic breakfast, most of which they make of grow themselves.

“A brilliant, unique accommodation in a Bedouin family”

A very unique accommodation in an unregistered village, unrecognized by the Israeli government. The host (and activist) Khalil is brilliant, he told us about ways to get by without relying on the government for basic services. Great dinner for 90 JOD per person, cooked by Khalil's family and great breakfast as well. The place is not too far from Masada and Ein Gedi, so it's a nice stop on the way is you travelling around the country.

“This is a Good Family in a nice place”

They welcome you into their home and family. It's Ramadan and they offered a delicious meal after sunset. Very open and listening to every opinion and beliefs of their guests and telling/informing about the traditions and history of their family and their country. Warm people

Host is super friendly :)

we were spleeping in a tent and for the kids it was great adventure. the tent was causy and warm with the heating on. we were having though a regular bathroom. we had also very tasty dinner and breakfast. Bedouin people are very friendly and open, it was great to spend some time with them and hear their story on living in Israel, their culture and history.

Thanks to Google maps and to the excellent communication of the host via WhatsApp we took little time to find his house. Free parking without any problems right in front of the house. What a warm welcome although the host's daughter who showed us on to our flat didn't speak much English but was very kind. The flat was spacious, modern, quiet - a place where you can easily feel at home. Later the host came and we learnt much about Bedouin life, the history of his family, got recommendations for our evening walk around the village. What a unique first hand experience about a part of the Israelian population no travel guide book tells you about! The breakfast next morning was great, the friendly host' s wife was always around, asked for and fulfilled every wish we had. We (family from Germany) highly recommend it to every tourist and Israeli.

Khalil and his family are wonderful hosts. All the services they provided were of the highest quality. Staying there really helps you understand the cultural and political aspects of Bedouin life. The dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious - we were able to taste a lot of local dishes with wonderful flavours. Khalil has shown us how he runs his property and how many inventions his family uses to live a sustainable life. The room was very well equipped and all the facilities exceeded our expectations.

We just needed a place to sleep on a road trip. We dont planned to get in contact with beduins an their culture. What luck we landed at Khalils home. For shy germans like us it is first a strange thing to turn in one of these small villages without asphalt at the street. My advice: do it! Khalil and his family have two twobed rooms for you with a bathroom, a fridge and a pentry kitchen inside. ... And a van Gogh! You get original cafe (like it should taste). A great origin breakfast. And stories about the beduine live.

“Amazing hospitality!”

The hospitality is interesting and authentic. Delicious dinners and breakfasts. The owner Khalil and his family are very nice and helpful. I highly recommend the place.

“Great stay in a very special place”

We enjoyed our stay in Khalils house. We felt so welcomed and the whole family gave us a warm and extremly friendly welcome. From the first second you are part of the family and the meals from Khalils wife a extraordinary delicious.
