HaMakhtesh HaGadol, Ramat Negev hotel rooms at the Independent

"Dinner was mostly Mid-East cuisine: spicy. Only beef was spicy meatballs. Soup tasted like salamy at ₪120/ person... overpriced. Long long walk to the room. No charm."

"No communication with the desk person. He had to make a phone call for me to converse. Area around property was very unkempt and littered with several "piles" left by dogs right on the property and not cleaned up in any fashion. Area made me feel unsafe due to its exceedingly poor neighborhood, but had no problem. No sign or address on property so very had to even find. Had to ask strangers for assistance to point it out. I wouldn't stay there again. But feel free to take your own chances....

"המקום נחמד ונעים, השירות טוב, ארוחת בוקר פשוטה מאד אבל טעימה, החדר קטן מדי וצפוף מדי, המיטה ממלאת את כל החדר, אין ארון, השירותים והמקלחת בתוך החדר, קטנים מאד גם הם. "

"Nice and quiet place with good breakfast "

"Piacevole esperienza nel kibbutz. Colazione cena discreta. Isolato è praticamente obbligatorio cenare all'interno. Personale gentile e disponibile a fornire consigli sui luoghi da visitare. "

"A truly remarkable place to stay.Tranquil, serene and totally relaxing.We spent two nights here en route to the Dead Sea and regret not having stayed longer ! Staff were helpful.........Toilet/Shower block was spotless........Breakfast was superb. Highly recommended and we hope to stay here in the future when we return to Israel. Thank you x."
