Kfar Hanokdim - Glamping & Camping

The staff was friendly and helpful. There were so many interesting and incredible things to see around the place. The scorpion walk was fun. The food was over the top amazing! We had an issue with one of our beds, but the staff dealt with it very well and I was very happy with the outcome.

It is a hard place to get around and easy to get lost so more signage or a map would be really great.

The staff were awesome. Loved the location.

Not enough days 😉

Amazing place

I liked everything

Really fun experience, great place to hang out and relax. Met some cool folks too, and the camel rides were fun.

Location was amazing, placed was comfortable, clean and well decorated , food choices were very varied.

There wasn't a shelter, or at least it was not clearly marked. Lower lighting during the night to allow stargazing would have been nice.

the beauty of the place and the friendliness

The place is situated in an oasis outside the town of Arad. You get the desert experience, but without giving up the option of a supermarket or other comforts of civilization. cAmEls! If you like camels or one or more of your children like them, this is a great place for you o feed, pet and even ride them. You have an option of sleeping in a Bedouin tent, a hut or even a comfortable modern room. Some guests brought their own popup tents and set them inside the Bedouin tent, to get max privacy and protection from the elements. The oasis is about 20 minutes easy drive from Masada-west, where you can watch the audio-visual show after nightfall.

The dining room meals are very expensive. Although the food quality was excellent, it felt like we were captive audience because we had no alternative on our religious day. For guests who come mid week or are not observant, there are plenty of cooking options and many take advantage of the kitchens and BBQ grills. There is a nice store by reception that sells delicious pizza Napolitana and French Crepes for very reasonable price, but for a couple of sit-down family meals we paid close to a 1000NIS!

Well equipped, lots of activities, nice location.

For a single night reservation I received more than 12 messages via text messages, WhatsApp, booking app messages and email.

Bedouin-style encampment village surrounded by palm trees, a real desert oasis. Unfortunately, we were there when the war broke out in Israel but they offered us to stay as long as we needed with no extra cost so we could keep safe. They invited us for a bonfire, to walk around, and to drink some beers so we felt relaxed and at home. We can't thank Kfar Hanokdim enough for everything they did for us. We made really good friends and I hope to be back soon. תודה רבה.

The vibe

Noting

Fresh concept, very well maintained . Camping with style . Everything is of high quality

Friendly staff, good environment and facilities, clean overall, camel ride - all good.

No one cleaned up the women washroom/shower area the night we arrived to the time we left. The other group of young females made a mess all around with towels, garbage, empty bottles and hairbands all over the counters. The sitting area inside the hut is super dusty....is it supposed to be like that?

We wanted a desert, Bedouin camp experience

Nothing

The place was beautiful and the room was really nice. We loved the hammocks and set up outside the room as well. We enjoyed the extra activities after dinner like the scorpion hunt and the camp fire that Tal set up for our kids with marshmallows--we felt very spoiled! The food was delicious and of course the camel/donkey rides were fun for the family.

All was overall great. It was a bit expensive for one night, but the cost did include the food and donkey/camel rides which was nice. Our kids do not eat much so paying per person is what added up for our family. We had a great time though and made memories for a lifetime!

The sit down group talk with the Bedouin woman was very interesting. Also enjoyed the walk looking for scorpions.

The food was exceptional, lots of variety and good quality - we were very impressed. The grounds are beautiful. The activities were excellent (learning about bedouin culture, scorpion tour, bonfire).

The communication at check-in and check-out could have been improved, there were multiple activities but none seemed to ever be communicated properly to us despite our asking, things needed to be clarified multiple times. Would be best to communicate the scheduled activities up front and to give accurate information so that guests can plan accordingly and not miss them (as they were all high quality!)

An oasis in the desert, really close to the Dead Sea so perfect for a night stop over. The rooms were clean & comfortable. we loved the night walk into the desert to look for scorpions as well as the camel rides in the morning.

The kids (and us adults!) adored the camel rides, and an extra bonus was having dinner in the authentic Bedouin style. Really clean, really calm, the many peacocks walking around the property and the general ground-keeping were amazing. This was our 2nd time visiting this place and we will definitely come again!

A little pricy :-(

Kfar Hanokdim provided an unusual opportunity of a presentation of the Bedouin coffee hospitality by an actual Bedouin as well as an environment as close as possible to visit a true desert oasis. An added attraction was seeing Masada from the western side. The friends who were with us for our stay also took their first ride on a camel, This camel ride offered a short trek of perhaps twenty minutes as opposed to the normal "camel ride experience."

It seems that Kfar Hanokdim is equipped better for groups and not so much for couples. The staff did not coordinate with us well as expected for scheduled dinners and other activities.

Piece of hair in the bathroom on the wall.

we were not given the room pictured. it was much smaller and very basic. communication was not clear as to what activities were included and when to enter where. food was not as good as we’d hoped. all around, it just felt very overpriced

great location good site great staff

no pool
