    What would be better is if Palestine was able to control its own affairs and tourists could return unimpeded . Justice and human rights for Palestine should not be denied .

    The whole of Palestine is suffering greatly and the fact that Elias continues to run a business as best he can in these circumstances is incredible. He kindly upgraded me from a dorm room to a private room for the same low cost . I was able to come and go as I pleased .

    The host was amazing and very welcoming. I loved the open shared space that allowed to work but also to cook and hang out. It was a very lovely stay.

    I didn't like that I had a time to stay only for one night...

    Elias, Host was most accommodating person I ever had! That was a pleasure to stay at his place. You have everything you need and it's just couple of steps from the best part of the city.

    The location of the hostel is perfect. The street, inlike many others there, is calm and the balcony offers a great view. It is close to all the sights. But mostly Elias is able to create a feeling of zen with all his plants. He is also the best informationpoint in the whole westbank and he has everything in googlemaps pinpoints, so he makes it very easy. You can ask him anything, which is lovely. Breakfast is very tasty!

    Elias and his mother are great. The hostel is in a perfect location, not too far from the old city. We stayed in a private room and really enjoyed it, especially the balcony and the AC.

    We booked here, as the hotel we usually stay at had overbooked and couldn't fulfil all of our booking. We'd walked past this place on the way to Manger Square, so decided to book here for the night we needed the extra booking. None of us expected much, but were pleasantly surprised. The 'reception room', was light and roomy, great kitchen bar, with free tea and coffee. Rooms were big, clean and had a lovely balcony. The bunk beds all had individual lights and power points and were really comfortable with lovely crisp bedlinen. We were met by Hilda, the owner's mother, who was delightful. We sat with her for a while and she made us popcorn. We also asked if she could do us breakfast the following day, it was 15 NIS and was a bargain as everything was homemade and fresh. Elias the owner was so helpful. We would definitely stay here again, and have decided we preferred it to the other hotel we usually stayed at!

    I am not sure i can find something i did not like. That's why I extended my stay and would have ven stayed longer if i had more time. If you are going to Bethlehem, you should definitely come in this unique boutique hostel. Thank you once again for your hospitality

    Elias, the owner, is a great host. He is always there to help, Took us in a nice tour, suggested the best places where to eat and guided us in a very nice hike. The place feels like home, it is very close to the old city center , rooms are spacious and beds comfortable.
