I wasn't sure where to stay to visit the Dead Sea, and I did not want to stay at a resort. This place was amazing!!! It was quiet, COMFORTABLE, easy to find, and quality service. It was very quiet street with easy parking. I wish I was staying in the area longer because this was perfect. I stayed in many placed in Israel and this place was the best.

Overpriced apartment in a convenient location
The apartment is comfortable enough, though not in the best condition. It is close to Masada, Dead Sea, Shivta etc. However, giving it a relatively low rating because I found the place to be very much overpriced for the quality

Very, very disappointed. No hot water, air conditioner did not work, shower is not big enough to turn around in, place was dirty, very sparsely furnished. No desert view, on a dirty ravine in the back. Only nice thing was the outside plants. Would never stay there again.
Sehr netter, hilfsbereiter und unkomplizierter Vermieter.

Hübsches Zimmer - erinnert mehr an eine heimelige private Unterkunft als an ein Hotel. Der Vermieter ist sehr zuvorkommend. Die Wohngegend wirkt sehr sicher und entspannt.
This is our best rental in Israel! The apartment is in perfect condition and perfectly located to visit all the most beautiful sites in the area: Dead Sea at Ein Bokek, Massada, Ein Gedi, Tel Arad Archaeological Site, etc. The apartments are clean and you have a small terrace, with a great quiet garden. The apartment is air conditioned and the wifi works. There are places to park the car right in front. Avi has been exceptionally kind, always concerned about our comfort. He gave us the best advice for visiting the area. He even helped us change the deflated tire of our car and called the car rental company! The price is very reasonable compared to other rentals in the area. We therefore highly recommend this place and look forward to returning.
Had a great stay at this hotel (we were there for one night). It was very nice. The owner is great and extremely helpful. He helped us plan out our trip the next day to Masada, gave us directions to the local supermarket, and helped clarify a few things about the area. We enjoyed our stay here. We didn’t get to see the hotel in the daytime but we think it probably has a cool view of the desert.
The is more like an Airbnb than a hotel -- which is good! it's in a quiet residential neighborhood. Parking is easy and free. The garden adds a touch of whimsy. Above all, the little suite was perfect for two parents and a grown daughter. She had a comfy bed in the commons room to sleep in so there was some privacy; we had the bedroom. There's a kitchen though just a hotplate, not a stove. The place is clean and Avi, the owner, is a warm, friendly host who offers advice about places to eat, etc. The price, if you're in a situation like ours where you need two rooms without wanting to pay for two separate hotel rooms, can't be beat for a simple but clean place with your own little patio. Arad is a really nice town and I wish we'd had more time to explore.
Stanza in buone condizioni. Stanza pulita e con il minimo indispensabile. Proprietario molto gentile. rimasti una sola notte. Vicinanza a Massada ottima. Se venite in macchina vi consiglio di prendere la strada 3199 per Masada.
It is more like an aparthotel. We stayed in a little house very comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. Property owner is very nice and friendly, he gave us his phone number for anything we need and recommended places to go that we did not know about.

Falsche Angaben in der Zimmerbeschreibung
In der Beschreibung war ein Doppelzimmer mit Balkon und Blick auf die Wüste versprochen. Das Zimmer, welches wir bekamen, hatte weder einen Balkon noch den Blick auf die Wüste, sondern nur ein kleines Fenster. Der Gastgeber bezeichnete es als neu renoviert. Es hatte zwar eine neuere Ausstattung als ein anderes Zimmer, das er uns auch noch zeigte (ebenfalls ohne Balkon und ohne Ausblick), aber eben nicht "neu renoviert". Die Ausstattung war insgesamt einfach - ok für eine Nacht, aber aufgrund der Vortäuschung nicht vorhandener Eigenschaften gibt es von uns keine Empfehlung.
The owner is a wonderfully friendly host. Our party number changed three hours before arrival and he was still able to accommodate us, without any interruption to our trip. Would one hundred percent recommend to anyone considering booking.
Great place to start visit Masada and local desert tour, owner helps in local guide, room clean, tourist map on requested, excelent food in nighbourhood
We had a great time in this lovely place with the kindest owner. It was clean and had everything we needed. From our base in Arad we made trips to nearby hotspots: the dead sea in Ein Bokek, Masada and an amazing hike in the Judean desert. Contrary to what everyone said, we could easily get around with public transport. The hospitality and freshly baked cakes made our stay one to remember.
Say hi to Avi, the owner, enjoy the desert sunsets, visit Masada for sunrise, swim in the Dead Sea and get some drinks and food at the local bar he recommends!
The rooms are well appointed and it all has a genial vibe. 10/10 (-; !!!

The price for this stay was so high compared to our stay in Israel.
The room was very nice. Owner on premises and helpful with local recommendations. The only issue we had was no hot water and AC kept shutting off at night (fuse kept tripping)
Avi’s place is truly amazing. My mother and I stayed here only one night in order to visit Masada and the Dead Sea the next day and regret that our stay was not longer. It’s about 45-60 minutes drive away from Masadas Snake Path, which we did for the sunrise hike, but is completely manageable if you came by car. The other places we searched in the region were outrageously expensive, and this place was a decent price for us so this place is definitely worth the stay. There is no front desk since the buildings are located on his property, so be sure to have a way to contact his phone. I set mine off roaming for just a few minutes to make the call but wasn’t a hassle at all. He gave us wonderful recommendations for places to eat, directions and activities we could do which made the visit that much better. If you’re staying in the area I highly recommend Desert View!
