Yosi know the area very well and drive me few time to some tourist attraction and help me a lot to get around to all the nice places. He like to teach and explain about the places he takes me to travel, which made the trip much more interesting. high speed Internet, fax and international phone call are available for for FREE!!. definitely, that is very highly recommended place!!.

it's a nice place to stay!

Many thanks to Roy and his family for their hospitality. Lovely house, delightful nature. The friendly and welcoming Khoziev. All this has had on us an unforgettable experience. I am pleased to be in the next trip staying in this house! Recommended.

We met in the home of Joseph and Denise a few unforgettable days. The reception was very warm and friendly. We had prepared breakfast, a permanent coffee and tea. Our private room, bathroom and toilet were clean and comfortable. We had a separate fridge, kettle and other kitchen utensils, use of the kitchen. Joseph gave us an extensive tour of his house a large and unique and beautiful site with an interesting landscape. After excursions to the holy places of Israel and noteworthy we are pleased to return to the house of Joseph and Denise. In these places, and in this house we do not feel fatigue and stress, and gained for himself peace and spiritual peace. Thank you very much for everything.

To stay at the home of Yossi and his family was a good choice. The room was wonderful and clean, also everything else and our host was very welcoming and gentle all the time. He always has had good advices for trips and locations and we knew, that we always would get help, if we needed it. So We have made the best experience with Yossi and his family. He is a nice, helpful and really gentle host. Thanks a lot, for making our time in Israel so easy.

The hosts were extremely welcoming, and took pains to see that I was happy.

We were treated like family right from the start, Yosef and Denise (Roy's parents) are incredibly kind and welcoming. The place is clean, nice and full of life. They were incredibly caring, and besides offering everything, they took time for real conversation. The landscape between there residence and Jerusalem is incredibly beautiful and always created a great introduction to our days spent in the holy city, with that said, if you are without a car, make sure to take a good look at the bus schedule to plan your commutes, the buses are sparse, and the waits can be long. Either way, a great place with loving hosts, we loved it.

My one month stay with the Ben-Dor family was a truly remarkable experience. The place is utterly beautiful and peaceful in comfortable distance from all the main tourist attractions Israel has to offer. My hosts, warm and welcoming, treated me as a member of the family attending to my every needs in an amazingly short time. Highly recommended!

We spent a wonderful week in the idyllic mountainside outside of Jerusalem in a very fun and unique home. It has all the amenities that were needed for a comfortable stay, including a well stocked kitchen and warm bedding. The rooms were spacious and the house let in a lot of bright natural light. There's an efficiency apartment with a separate entrance on the upper floor, so a second couple could conceivably have some privacy on a stay here. There is a small, but fully stocked grocery store within easy walking distance, and a larger grocery store just a short drive away. The town also has excellent parks and outdoor play space for children. Naaman was a great host, meeting us on arrival and checking on us via email halfway through our stay. He readily answered questions by phone, and even made us feel welcome by having some toys and art supplies ready for the kids, and a baby bath and crib for our smallest. The backyard has a garden and seating on the patio, and there are friendly cats and a rooster who spend their time back there. While we ended up basing out of Tsur Hadasa for sightseeing day trips, I'd not recommend that for any other travelers. This location is much more suited for a quiet mountain get-a-way, peaceful and serene.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and cozy. We had a great experience! Would definitely recommend the apartment to a friend.

Mr Frenkel was very accommodating and welcoming. The listing actually didn't do the actual home justice. This was a beautiful home.

It is a very lovely house in a picturesque village surrounded by forests. We spent a long weekend there and enjoyed lots of natural trails around. Naaman welcomed us very friendly and showed the house. Recommend to anyone who wants to hear silence and to breath clear mountains air(URL HIDDEN)

This cottage was BEYOND our expectations! Itai and his wife, Yael were waiting to welcome us and "show us around". The cottage was really a two bedroom, two bath home, in a country setting, quite close to family we were visiting. We stayed for 3 nights, and it was like a vacation. Beautiful patio and grounds. Will be back!!!

it would be nkice to have an airdryer and a nespresso machine to have a good coffee

We had an amazing week! The cottage is warm, inviting, beautifully designed and well equipped. Our 2-year old son enjoyed every minute he spent there whether in the playground, trampoline, watching the chickens or just wandering around in the yard, while we enjoyed just about everything. Yael and Itai were very gracious hosts and accommodated our every need. We’ll definitely be back :)

Our generous hosts, Itai and Yael were delightful. Their place, which used to be their own had a real homee feeling to it. We loved their home, their garden, their pool, their chickens, their nut tree, their small playground area, their spices plants, their trampoline, everything about their own spirit put with so much love and care, into their magical, nourishing home. Great hosts, great place, great atmosphere, kind and helpful people. They are really there for your needs! Marcelle Rudnick and Family

It was our second time around in this house, the place is beautiful in the spring, highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay with Itai and Yael. They made us feel welcome from the very beginning, communicated actively with us before we arrived, and made our stay special. The house is a jewel in the mountains. A perfect location for those that love hiking and visiting Jerusalem.

GEWELDIG vakantieverblijf. Heel vriendelijke en behulpzame verhuurders. Ideale locatie voor volwassenen en zeker ook voor kinderen!! Speeltoestellen (waaronder schommel en trampoline) en zwembad zijn aanwezig en te gebruiken. Dit alles in een prachtige ruime tuin. Het huis is volledig ingericht, zelfs luxueus. Geweldige bedden. Het huis is schoon !! Alle aanwezige apparatuur werkt prima. Airco in hele huis. Prima locatie in de buurt van Jeruzalem!

Eliav was very nice and flexible, we felt very welcome. the place is beautiful and inspiring. we were looking for a place in the last minute and he was making sure it would work out and made it easy and comfortable for us and also recommended where to hike to in the area. the description was accurate - the place is beautiful and big. we enjoyed the place very much and will be happy to come back again

Thanks Eliav, the place was just as described. Great balcny with a beautiful view, very quiet and clean. Eliav was very available and friendly. Two thumbs up.

Eliav was a responsive and helpful host. His house is open plan, has 3 big bedrooms, a beautiful patio and a lovely view. We took a private yoga class with Eliav and that was a highlight. We also went for a long hike in the area on Shabbat that was beautiful. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing get away, this is a nice, pet friendly choice.

Nice place to get away and be in the forested rural areas of Israel. ELIAV is a great host and provides you with all you need. Just ask for it. House is comfortable for 7 and even more. All a/c work well and two bathrooms and showers helps out alot. If you want TV, well this isn't the place but for us it was just what we needed.

Eliav's mountain paradise was truly just that, a mountain paradise! We had a lovely stay and he made sure we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. I hope we will come back soon!

Eliav and his family were very warm and welcoming! The home is as described and the surrounding village and mountain trails give you much to explore during your stay. Walking out on the many trails gives you a beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset. Since we had a large group we had many different needs/requests from Eliav and he was so very accommodating to take care of all our needs. We visited during the time of Sukkot and Eliav helped us to build our own beautiful Sukka. Even his mother-in-law spent a great amount of time making Sukka crafts with our group of children. We didn't have the opportunity to take part in the food or yoga so I'm not able to provide feedback on those options for this home. There are options for a market within a 10 minute drive and more about 15-20 minutes away in the city of Beit-Shemesh. Within the village you will find a mini-market for some of your smaller needs and a small selection of vegetables. You will need a car while staying here and it's about a 30 minute drive from Jerusalem. This was a very loving and friendly family. We had such a beautiful time and we would rent from Eliav again. Many thanks and blessings to this family!

We had a great weekend at Eliav's place. The house was just like expected, with everything needed for a family weekend. The location is a beauty, with lots of tracks to visit and a beautiful view. Also 15 minute drive from Jerusalem!

Great place. Well equipped, nice view, amazing balcony.

Naomi made delicious cinnamon treat for the sabbath for us upon arrival! Loved the privacy and access to fire pit in the back, a little slice of heaven!!

This is an awesome place!- very quiet, clean, within nature! Naomi and her husband were very responsive and nice hosts. We are a family with two small kids and a dog. The house is pretty small, but enough to put a head during a sleep. Basically you spend time outside the house. Excellent conditions and amazing nature around. Highly recommended!!

The cabin is beautiful, the location is prefect for short excursions into the mountains and the hosts helpful and kind, and will also respect your privacy. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. Perfect for our little family trip to Israel. Close einaugh to everything to make it possible to go wherever you want on a daytrip. And a very pretty place to spend the day, if you do not want to go anywhere. We were unable to finnish the breakfasts we were served, as the amount of food served pretty much equaled what we normaly eat in a day. :-) We where two adults and three kids. And the cabin fit us fine. No problem. Even with rainy days and meals indoors. You really feel that the host wants you to have a good time and experience, and does go above and beyond what is to be expected.

Wonderful cabin and great hosts! בקתה נפלאה ומארחים נפלאים! This is a cozy cabin in a beautiful area - very refreshing to be there. You can see beautiful sunsets over the hills. Our hosts were gracious even when we arrived later than expected. זאת בקתה נחמדה באזור יפה מאוד - מאוד מרענן להיות שם. אפשר לראות שקיעות יפות על הגבעות. המארחים שלנו היו סבלניים אפילו כשהגענו יותר מאוחר ממה שציפינו.

It was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed at! The cabin is cozy nice and clean the photos don't even do it justice. The view from the deck is stunning and relaxing, if you want a quiet lovely apartment in the middle of no where I recommend this place a lot. The hosts are lovely, and very easy to communicate with, they helped us with several thing.

A wonderful, charming cabin in nature. Perfect for a couple! The cabin has a great big terrace with a stunning view and a nice garden with hammock and a place for bonfire. There is a lot of hiking trails and other possibilities for activities in the area. Highly recommended!

We want to thank Joshua and Naomi for a lovely stay at their zimmer. first the area is amazing, feels like you are in the middle of the woods, the view is spectacular and we had an awesome sunset. We came from the Israel national trail and we felt like we reached home, beautiful cabin, great hot shower, cookies and other goods (:, we had everything we needed. The location is beautiful, we would definitely come back!!!!

The house is located in a beautiful village with beautiful houses. The family was very friendly and Yossi and Denise are wonderful people and they have done everything to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the time at the bendor house and can only recommend the accommodation.

We had a lovely time staying with Roys parents Denise and Youssef. They made us feel at home. We also liked the area because it has nice forests and is childfriendly. I would definitely stay there next time in we are going to Israel.

This was the most amazing family! They helped me see everything I wanted to in Jerusalem/Bethlehem, and were by far the best hosts I had on my recent adventure to Israel. Their place is a little far out from Jerusalem, but if you take bus 184, the scenery is stunning on the way there.

To put it short and simple, our stay with the Ben-Dors has been a happy time. We felt at home-- welcomed, taken care of, supported. What started as a search for a place near Jerusalem where we could stay for a month, ended being a deeply touching, even spiritual experience of finding unexpected connections and friendships. We thank you all, and this is NOT a goodbye. The cat of the house deserves an especial mention, as he is, clearly, an exceptional creature with a unique story attached to him; he made our stay that much more enjoyable. We stayed in the roof-top room, the biggest out of all, with attached bathroom. There was enough space for everything, the bed was very good and the wi-fi signal excellent. The hosts provided utensils and also installed a good heater and even an electric oven so that we could be even more autonomous while cooking. There was a fridge and an electric kettle in the room. Sometimes, it felt hot under the roof, but not unbearable - in April and May, we used the AC only occasionally. Now, for those who don't have a care, Tzur Hadassah may be a challenge initially, but once you know how the buses operate and where to try for a lift, all becomes clear. We did not have to go to Jerusalem too often, but when we did, it worked quit well for us. The views, calm atmosphere, the garden, the neighbours, the cats around-- all contribute to the relaxation. In a nutshell, this is a place full of love and care and not just a good one to stay in.

Our host who was Roy's father made us feel very welcome. The description was fairly accurate

If you're looking for a place to stay that feels like home- this is it! Roy's parents place is beautiful! Their back yard is breathtaking, fresh herbs for your tea, orange and lemon trees, fragrant flowers, and fish ponds! There is a trampoline on the front porch which we all enjoyed. Denise and Yossi were so warm and welcoming! They both were so sweet and made sure to check in with us often to make sure we had what we needed. There is a large room at the top of the home with an ensuite bathroom. There's a beautiful skylight so you can sleep under the stars if you wish and another window for a great cross breeze. There's also AC for hot afternoons. The second floor of the home has a bedroom that looks out over the garden and gets the best breeze! There's a shared family bathroom near this room. We were invited to use the washer/dryer, and the common areas of the home. We were able to keep all our food in the kitchen- and Yossi and Denise were so kind to let us borrow items like spices or oil. Their youngest son, Idor was there and was great to talk to- he gave me some hints on what my children might like based on what he loved as a child. ;). Yossi and Denise were both a wealth of information and made the stay lovely. It was not at all awkward to share a home with them. Location is wonderful. You're close enough to easily get to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, but you have the luxury of a more peaceful and neighborhood setting. Everything you need is in Tzur Hadassah. Highly recommend- especially families!!

Jose and Denise are the couple owning the house. Very nice people who like to take care of their guests and are very hospitable. If the weather is nicce you can sit in their comfortable garden. The area is beautiful. Jerusalem is not close but can be reached by car within 50 minutes driving to this beautiful hills.

I was very pleasantly surprised of kindness and hospitality of these family. They help us and adviced us. The hause is nice and located in a beautiful place.

Great place.

Adam's place was an inviting tastefully decorated home. Adam was very flexible and communicative. Highly recommend.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The house is really nice decorated and very cosy and feels like home. It's close to many forests, nature parks, etc. De point of contact orit was very nice and friendly and gave us some good information. It's the best airbnb we've ever had. Would really recommand this place in this nice mosjav. The only thing i didn't like were the camera's in the house which were switched on.
