Shirat Hayam - Boutique Hotel
"View of the Sea of Galilee was amazing. The front desk was able to arrange a taxi service that took credit cards and took me to all the holy sites I wanted to see and more."
The Setai Sea of Galilee
"A magnificent place, blessed with one of the most beautiful views in Israel. It genuinely feels as though this little piece of paradise was dropped from the heavens onto the Sea of Galilee. The staff made you feel like you truly mattered. They genuinely cared about your experience and went out of their way to ensure that your stay was memorable. Their warmth, attentiveness, and sincere hospitality made us feel welcomed and appreciated from the moment we arrived."
Gomeh by Isrotel Collection
"Great family stay on a summer holiday. The only issues with this property is that the Wi-Fi is practically non-existent and there is not enough parking within the hotel grounds."
Prima Galil
"Nice sized room, friendly staff, the AC was nice and cool on a hot weekend, and the pool was definitely refreshing! (just wish there were more reclining chairs). Food was plentiful and tasty. Overall, a really nice stay. I just wish there was a ramp up to the elevators (which were split between odd & even floors)"
King Solomon Hotel Tiberias
"The view from my room was spectacular. The pool was fabulous. Large and plenty of swimming space. Breakfast was amazing. Didn’t know where to begin. All the food was fresh, presentation was very well done. There was staff rotating about the dining room bringing out refills, cleaning the tables, available for all questions. The room was adequate. The shower was great. All in all we had a good experience"
Leonardo Plaza Kinneret
"Long time to check in"
Magdala Hotel
"The hotel and it's staff were wonderful. The only thing we found somewhat underwhelming was the mattress which gave me a backache"
Tiberia hotel
"Good hotel. Thank you"
U Boutique Kinneret by the Sea of Galilee
"Lovely hotel in a beautiful location with a private beach on the Kinneret. I saw some reviews complaining about music by the pool, but it was calm music and not too loud so don't let that put you off! 10/10 and would definitely stay here again."
