We were very disappointed with the B&B. To be fair, it should be said that the place also has advantages - the view from the cabins is very beautiful, the jacuzzi is large, and the amplification system is excellent. Also, the ecological design can be to the taste of some people. At the same time, it is impossible to ignore the multitude of problems we encountered that made the stay at the B&B an unpleasant experience.
Cleanliness: The level of cleanliness was not sufficient. The hot tub we received was dirty and dusty, and with several dead insects. Also, the ceiling of the guest house is a kind of thatch resting on wooden beams. Many cobwebs have accumulated in the thatch, and it seems that no one bothers to clean it. As a result we encountered a lot of spiders in the cabin.
Shower and toilet: There are two main problems with the shower. First, the ceiling of the bathroom is also a type of thatch, which is lower than the ceiling of the B&B itself. As a result, everything can be heard and there is no sense of privacy. In addition, the shower room is very large and there is a faucet on one of the walls. The bathing area is not bounded by a partition or curtain, which again damages the feeling of privacy and causes the water to disperse in the shower.
Food and treats: The breakfast was really disappointing. The bread felt like mold, the goat's cheese was tasteless, the omelette was bland, and for all the dubious pleasure we had to pay NIS 120. The cookies that were in the B&B were also very dry, and it looked as if they had been lying there for quite some time.
Mosquitoes - quite made us miserable. Although this is not the owner's fault, since the windows have a grid. Still, it would have been nice if the B&B had mosquito and/or mosquito repellent.
Cat - there was a red-haired cat, bleeding from the head, who stood on the balcony of the B&B and howled loudly. He did this both in the evening and in the morning. Even though we smuggled him out, he came back again and again.
Rainwater - at the B&B there were five bottles of water with the inscription Rainwater waiting for us, as part of the ecological trend of the place. In the B&B it was written that they could be used to boil water for coffee. The bottles looked quite stale, and considering the fact that it hardly rained this season, we suspect that the water was not from the current season. In any case, we gave up using them.
Mud walls - the general appearance of the B&B was gray and unpleasant, partly because of the material from which the walls are made. It's something that doesn't come across very well in photos, and we were really amazed by the gap between how the place looks in the photos and how it actually looks and feels. At the same time, it's a matter of taste, and other people may connect more with the look and style.
The availability of the owner - simply does not exist. The truth is, we never saw him. It started with trying to book the B&B. We called about ten times until Arnon was kind enough to answer us. Twice out of the ten, Dina answered us and told us that Arnon handles the orders and to call at a certain time, when Arnon will be available. Of course he was not available, and it took a long time before we were able to get hold of him and reserve the requested date. Even when we arrived, we didn't see anyone, and Arnon guided us over the phone to the room. Even the next day he did not contact us and asked us if everything was okay. In short, we did not receive any treatment from the owner. In our opinion, this is not appropriate - the owner of a zimmer has a responsibility towards his guests, and he must be present when they enter the room, answer questions about the zimmer and the area, and make sure that everything is fine during their stay. It didn't happen with us.
We are very sorry to write this review. We don't enjoy hurting anyone's livelihood. At the same time, it is important that those who consider taking this B&B be aware of all the data so that they can make an informed decision. In addition, maybe the owner of the bed and breakfast will take the things as constructive criticism and improve at least some of them for the sake of the next guests.
