Neve Shalom Hotel

This place is working on creating peace, and I was glad to connect to it. The people in the community are amazingly friendly and informative, in line with the mission of the community. On the first day, at the community pool, a man and his son invited my family to have dinner with them, at their home, the children told us about their experience growing up in that community and going to that school and how the Palestinians and Jews worked through the trauma of October 7th and its aftermath. Also, the facility was hosting a program providing therapy for people with PTSD, and we spoke to a sound therapist at breakfast. He was fascinating. The spiritual center was an amazing, odd, and memorable place that is always open, but hard to access. If you make the effort and get to the actual egg-shaped building, you might have a transformative experience of spiritual realization, or you might just appreciate the architecture. The breakfast was also fantastic.

Communication was unclear. When you drive in there's a big sign saying that a building is the administrative center, but there's never anyone there. You actually need to go into the building down the road that is the hotel lobby. It also wasn't clear that you need to make reservations for dinner, but if you miss it you have to go out of town to get to a restaurant. The staff that are assigned to rooms just drop off towels outside the room. I guess anything more than that just isn't included like at most hotels.

The hotel is clean, with a wonderful atmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff.Great pool nearby without any additional charge. The location is quiet and beautiful, not far from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv

My only critique is that I felt almost everything could be improved slightly to make the stay a 10/10. For example, having more than one plate in a room for four, better lighting on the paths between rooms, labeling on the soap dispenser (body soap or shampoo) would be great. These are minor points but important to make things better

Very friendly staff, well equipped rooms, great food, excellent value for money

Nice location , friendly welcoming

We were missing soap in the room , we could not turn off light outside the house that disturbed sleeping, no phone to contact room service and no towel in the pool
