හැමදේම ගොඩක් හොදයි...❤️
මොකුත්ම නෑ...😊
נקי מאוד, מארח נחמד ונעים, מרווח. יש חניה. קצת כמו לבוא להתארח בבית של קרובי משפחה. היה קפה, תה, חלב . שקט מאוד.
המקום היה נקי, יש חנייה במקום בחינם ככה שלא צריך לשבור את הראש המארח דויד היה נחמד מאוד, קיבל את פנינו בברכה ובנעימות , הציע לנו מים ושתייה בבוקר וכשהגענו יש מטבחון משותף למעלה שבו אפשר להדליק נרות שבת, להכין משהו בקטנה ולאכול ארוחת בוקר המחיר היחסית זול והמצוין שנותן תמורה מדהימה למקום החדר היה גדול ומתאים בדיוק לשלוש בנות יש מים חמים, מטבחון קטן בחדר, סבון לגוף, מגבות, מזגן ושמיכות פשוט מצוין ללילה או שתיים ספונטניים בכנרת כרבע שעה מכל החופים והמקומות המרכזיים, אזור שקט ולא מפחיד בלילה נהנו מאוד מאוד ואני באמת ממליצה על המקום הזה מהלב שלי
הכול היה פשוט מצוין
חדרים יעילים ומספקים במחיר סביר. יחס מעולה וחם מהצוות. נכונות לעזרה מכל הלב! תודה!
בעל האכסניה ,דוד היה נדיב ונעים מאוד. מקום נקי
המארח היה אדיב, דאג לכל מה שהיינו צריכים
The hosts are exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is very authentic.
The room is small
The room was very comfortable and spacious. The room was impeccably clean, and it was well-equipped with everything we needed. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. We were offered a welcome coffee and cookies and given instructions on all the amenities and directions to the various tourist attractions. The hostel's location is perfect, very close to the main attractions, which can be reached using the various buses that stop is very close to the hostel. The city center is also easily accessible on foot or by bus. The bus to the lake also stops just a few meters from the hostel. This is perfect because after a morning of visiting the interesting places, you can relax by the lake in the afternoon. Many thanks to David and Ariana
There is nothing to criticize
The place was great, David is a great host, there is a little kitchen for cooking and coffee. We would come back again!!
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The laundry service was great.
All was well.
Super clean room. Extremely friendly David and his sister. 2 minutes from bus stop. Free parking spaces. We stayed 4 nights exploring Christ's path in Galilee. We rented a car for two days. This place is run by David and his sister. She cleaned the place Extremely well. David was very helpful for recommending restaurants, directions, transportation, etc. During our stay, Hamas in Gaza attacks Israel and most flights in Tel Aviv airport were canceled. We decided to cross the Israel/Jordan border by land. David called the border crossing several times to make sure it is open. They also gave my wife icecream to calm her down. My wife was very nervous. We were Extremely happy with our stay. Will come back again
None
The owners were fantastic and friendly. Very clean. Really enjoyed our stay.
It’s very good and the host is very kind , good and happy experience here.
We all loved the hostel, and we loved David and Ariella! It's a great base from which to explore Galilee. This is my second stay at David hostel and is my preferred base for this part of Israel. Thank you David and Ariella for a lovely stay!
David and his sister were wonderful hosts, always friendly and with good advice to give in every situation. We cannot recommend them enough and will surely show up again if we come back to Tiberias.
As a private hostel, the boss is very nice and friendly to the guest. It is more or less like a family.
Location is not easy to access for an international backpacker who have no idea of Hebrew language.
David! Incredible host, so friendly and helpful. And the location was perfect, the room was clean and spacious. It was all perfect.
Nothing negative to say, very pleased with everything
hospitality was much more than expected
The place is just perfect. Every minor detail is thoroughly thought. And the owners have just a perfect taste: they managed to take advantage of the most basic things to create a unique atmosphere. The place is exceptionally clean, the air conditioners are new and a tiny garden is extremely nice. You have a fridge in your room, there are 2 small kitchens at the hostel and a large supermarket is located nearby. Bus stops are really close and early in the morning (when it is not that hot yet) you can even get downtown by walking
A bit expensive, but in Israel everything is expensive
David was an excellent host and we loved our room. Very clean and comfy, exactly what we needed!
Couldn’t stay longer :)
David and Areala (possibly not the correct spelling) are extremely humble, warm and welcoming siblings. They embraced us like we were family returning home. They are beautiful people that would take that extra step to help your stay be faultless. I had an experience on my second day, as my hired car developed a fault and within 1 hour I had a replacement car within my possession. David swiftly guided me to the hire car representative in the area and communicated my problem to them. Apart from saying “hello” and “goodbye” to the staff I don’t recall saying anything else! David in a respectful manner took charge, he provided a swift, pain free, cost free resolution, so I could return to my holiday itinerary without much loss of time. What a service! The food at David’s hostel was very tasty and much was given! The room sizes are moderate yet extremely comfortable and clean to standard a surgeon would be proud! We had a lovely balcony that offered us additional space. Israeli and Tiberias culture is strong in David’s and the lounge area mixes character with culture. There was parking immediately outside the hostel and a beautiful private garden. The cost was extremely affordable and our prices were adjusted as we had one guest not attend. David made it clear that we would not bare any additional costs despite the late cancellation of this third person. During breakfast, David and Areala had provided us with sandwiches for a lunch therefore helping us save on daily costs. There was no additional fees! The location of David’s hostel was slightly off the main roads entering into tiberias and away from the tourist trail. Yet close enough to swiftly exit the town. We walked close by to a supermarket and ATM without any problems. After travelling around tiberias I quickly realised David’s hostel is within an excellent location by car.
Hosts were wonderful. Breakfast was excellent.
Would have liked a longer shower curtain.
The hosts are amazing! They showed so much warmth, thoughtfulness, and kindness towards me. The accommodations were above my expectations and incredibly clean. I was so glad I stayed there at this hostel instead of the hotel where the rest of my tour group were staying. When I told them how nice it was, they were jealous! I was able to cook my own food- there are 2 kitchens for guests to use and so I saved money for not eating in restaurants. The stay at the David hostel was one of the delights of my trip that I will always remember. Thank you David and Ariela!
Nothing! I have nothing negative to say about David Hostel.
we booked a room with ensuite and small balcony. everything was as advertised. there was a large common area where breakfast was served. David was there to check us in and was available throughout our stay. He drove us to the bus station with bags when we departed.
the unavoidable uphill in Tiberius. we made regular use of public transport on way up.
Great hospitality. Recommendation!
Great host, cheerful and colorful.
I loved the laid back and homey atmosphere. The hostel has a lovely back story and the hosts were warm and welcoming.
David and his sister were very kind and welcoming. We felt at home from the moment we entered. They're interested in their guests and do everything to make them feel comfortable and welcome. The breakfast was incredible - typical Israeli, tasty and a lot! They gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Parking was easy. We enjoyed our stay and we'd love to come again. Thank you!!
David and Ariela are extremely heartwarming and hospitable hosts! Their attentiveness to their guests' needs really make you feel at home. They are always willing to help out if you have any questions on travel & public transport information around the Galilee area. Most importantly, you can always have a great conversation with them and learn more about life in Israel and Tiberias! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with very good wifi. The common room was also nice for meeting and talking to other travellers staying in the hostel. With 53 years of tradition, it really is an institute!
I spent two quiet and pleasant nights at the Hostel. David and his sister welcomed me with great care and did their best to make me feel comfortable. I remember that I arrived in Tiberias on Friday afternoon and everything on the street was closed due to Shabbat. At the hostel they were very kind and offered me dinner so that I wouldn't go to bed hungry. The rooms are simple, but very clean and comfortable. It is a Hostel with tradition and they know how to serve the client in the best way.
Everything can be improved, but I don't have any particular complaints.
The hosts are really friendlay. Perfect clean room and kitchen and everything.
David and Ariela were warm, helpful and accessible hosts. They made you feel welcome. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was exceptional. The cold, filtered water to fill your flask was something I appreciated. The lanai seating area was a pleasant feature, especially for morning coffee. While I didn’t need it, the option for breakfast, that could also be take-away, was a nice plus. David could give a hospitality training course for other lodging places.
I had a wonderful stay at David's Hostel. David is a very kind and gentle man, with a serving heart. He makes you feel welcome and at home. The rooms are very nice and clean. I can really recommend this place!
CLEAN. VERY VERY GOOD OWNER. VERY GOOD POSITION FOR LOCAL SHULS AND EATING. VERY SATISFIED
YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET! WE WERE NOT PAYING FOR LUXURY. IT WAS A GOOD CLEAN BASIC PLACE
Very comfortable, clean, and friendly environment! We loved our stay!
nothing!
Clean nice hospitality
Great hostel good location nice breakfast
David and Ariela are exceptional hosts. They were so lovely, and that warmed our hearts! We will come back!!!
Nothing
David and his sister are charming hosts giving the place that certain flair „feels like home“; cleanest place we have been ever in Israel, nice breakfast, parking nearby; we will return!
all good!
I liked my room at the David Hostel very much. It was very comfortable with a balcony, TV, excellent WiFi, cleanliness, fresh towels, organization, simplicity with functionality, a supreme value, good parking, quiet neighborhood, friendly surroundings, and best of all the amazing staff who were professional, but willing to give of their time and energy to make my stay as a guest a pleasure. They really care about their guests. I checked in quite late, but David greeted me with cheerfulness and provided me with a meal to ease my difficult travels. Coffee was always available and was exceptional. This is an extraordinary value, for the traveler who comes alone or who wants a clean and safe home for the family. I stayed at the David Hostel for 13 nights and I found it to be an immensely remarkable value. It is a premium location. David and his sister were concerned to meet my needs as a guest whether it was printing something from the internet or having access to a kitchen for preparing a meal. Cold water was available for day trips. They gave good information about Israel and the entire Galilee region. The David Hostel is incredibly AWESOME! This is highly recommended!
I really do not have a statement about what could have been better. I enjoyed the 13 nights I stayed at the David Hostel and I loved it!
