Kfar Hanokdim - Glamping & Camping

Guesthouse

A beautiful place in the desert. The food was great but way too much. We had a guide named Eitan Zvik who took us for a night walk in the desert to find scorpions. He told us also beautiful stories about the desert. The next day we did also a camel ride in the desert.
I would recommend this beautiful place for sure!

It’s a nice desert bedouin experience, well equipped and tasteful food.

Terrific place — best hotel we had in 2 weeks. Clean, organized, and a wonderful breakfast. Definitely book this place.

Awesome place and experience! We took our out of town family and friends of 50+ppl for the Bedouin dinner feast and experience. My guests were floored! From the welcome reception tent, to the dinner, desserts and bonfire receptions, everything was picturesque and delicious! Not to mention, the Bedouin presentation and coffee demo was quite educational while very entertaining for all the ages in our group. Thank you Hadas and thank you Bryan for making sure my dinner event was such a success! Truly amazing place and highly recommend for group event!

Fantastic experience. We came as an organized group with little time. But the experience was amazing including baking your own Pita bread. Warmly recommended for families and educational tours.

A great eco-friendly place to stay, who loves the desert and the silence✌️

A great place to relax and activities.

It's a good place. Beautiful interior, the choice of amenities depends on your finances. In the evening, Bedouins talk about their experiences, life and being. They're doing an entertainment programme.

One of the greatest highlights of an amazing family trip to Israel. From the staff who couldn't do enough for us to the food and the amazingly beautiful accomodations. All of it exceeded our expectations.

Very special place to feel and connect to the lives of the bedouins that lived in the past. Has all of the necessities of life like electricity, plumbing, and food so it is still comfortable living there. The desert surrounding the area gives a special feel of peace, at night when the stars come out it is one of the most beautiful skies I have seen, with thousand if stars lighting up the sky. A great experience for a couple or the whole family.

A good place to relax, those who like to feel the identity of Bedouin nomads. There is a possibility to ride a camel.
Also delicious cuisine, there are showers and other amenities.

Clean hotel but breakfast was poor bread, butter and hot water. No vegetables.

Great place but mattress pads are so thin that sleeping was impossible. No pillow. Not recommended for people with back and ir neck problems and the elderly unless you take a room maybe. But the rest is fine. A great experience in the Judean wilderness!

Beautiful food. Kind staff. Very clean. We stayed in cabins overnight — wonderful experience.

This is an interesting place for those who want to spend time in the desert and get to know the Bedouin culture.

A wonderful experience set in the desert. Bedouin hospitality is a real delight where you are treated like family. The food, whilst simple, is quite remarkable. After dinner you can relax drinking sweet tea and passing round the hookah while listening to traditional music and letting your hosts fascinate you with their stories. Though there are now private rooms, it is well worth staying in the tents for a truly authentic experience.

Really enjoyed our time there. The lodging was fun and the food was great and plentiful. We'd go back again for sure.

Peace Harmony Landscapes are one of the few words to describe that place.

It's nice to go in large groups, a different experience.

This is a beautiful camp with nice area. The Nagev desert are awesome. The food was great, the Beduin people are friendly, the atmosphere is perfect. The tent is a little bit dirty, but it's not too cold at night.

Beautiful. Nice hospitality. To Redo.

Lovely Bedouin style village with different lodging options from private rooms to sukkot and tents for big groups. Possibility of camel rides, local food and drum circles or Bedouin hospitality. Very nice desert experience!

Have stayed here twice now and it's a really cool experience. I'm sure the bedrooms are far nicer than sleeping in the tents, but the food is awesome! Cool experience.

So much fun for a one-night stay! Visiting from the United States with a group of 34 we enjoyed the friendly staff, the grounds, THE CAMELS, and camping. The Bedouin hospitality tent was so interesting and fun. My recommendation would be to bring some ear plugs if you are hoping to get to sleep before midnight. It's a FANTASTIC place to bring youth groups and, when we were there, there were several groups of teenagers and scout (? ) groups having the time of their lives making memories. I have headphones and white noise so it was not an issue for me but others commented that it was pretty loud. Our group loved the food and the dining area and the staff was friendly and helpful. It was a cold night but the heater was enough for us. They need to replace worn sleep sacks and consider providing pillows. Being a tour group we did not travel with pillows. I loved the sunrise in the dessert! Thanks for a wonderful, unique experience!

A place that implies being of connection with oneself and something mystical but it is a fraud. Capitalism came to the Bedouins. The only thing you can feel is fear of being robbed and hypocrisy on the part of the diligent of the place.

It's a nice place! To sleep in the tents you need to wear a lot of shelter. Excellent breakfast!

You have to do it once in your life, but not two.
A place of total dislocation and one of its kind to escape the architecture of recent Israeli buildings.
Do not expect a royal suite with a fluffy mattress, but a simple mattress of 5cm littering the floor on a carpet in a dusty tent.
The heating of the tent dries your throat to your lungs during the night.
Too bad that the commercial spirit is gaining ground on the host spirit.
On the spot, forget Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, because there is no network to put live your photos on your favorite apps.
We had a pretty friendly evening on the spot for Christmas Eve and a very nice stroll through their camels in the desert.
As for the kitchen, it is good, although it is very modest. The meal is served in a very large aluminium dishes or one finds in a complete but good Balagan (Leafa, Rice vine, kefta, chicken thigh, couscous, vegetable broth, tomatoes), accompanied by small kemia of course.
For dessert, they have a yellow or red loukoum, extremely good that does not stick to the tooth, and a tea with a strange aroma unidentifiable, the fruits are also companion.
For breakfast it corresponds to the Israeli standard. The breakfast room has a breathtaking view of the desert.

Great place, An oasis created with great attention to detail. You have to know it really lies in nowhere. The food was plentiful but not quite as good. Facility is otherwise maintained and the evening entertainment was very good. Unfortunately, the next morning the team was almost exclusively gone, the ride with the camel was then carried out by some annoyed employees who could not speak English. That was a little too bad otherwise a good experience.

A very little few locations are in my heart as they are in my head… been lucky to see the globe, and can honestly say there’s no place like “kfar hanokdim”.
One amazing location
True staff
True to mother earth
And facilities to any extent you’d like and choose … Enjoy
Welcome to middle earth.

A beautiful oasis but the commercial side quickly took over the authenticity, it's a pity.

Great experience! Large tent, small group tent! Can be very dusty! (Durrh, we’re in the desert! ). But the large thick tent xo wrongs and carpets and bedding, be it on the floor or in the small tents, may, will, trigger major allergies! So bring your meds.

Wasn't sure what to expect here — but, was very pleasantly pleased and happy. There are camel rides, a local bedouin shares with the groups about bedouin life and answers questions. There is a nice dining area, the food is good, the accommodations are clean and comfortable. The cabin I had had a great bathroom with a shower. The sunrise was amazing.

It was a wonderful experience in the desert! I loved everything about the place!

Highly recommended especially for families. A beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert. The so-called village has been built with great care and love and natural materials. The rooms are comfortable and surprisingly very nice and even furnished with a large bathroom. Camel rides, tales of a Bedouin and a drum workshop are among the activities on offer. A sumptuous dinner and breakfast is served in the large tent. We recommend it most cordially … have fun.

Loved the stay! They separated the small groups from the large groups. Small group huts are well stocked and have all you need. Shower, refrigerator, space for food preparation. Bring your own towel for the shower. I do wish they could have a late checkout process. Make it dimmer, at night, and they'd have an extra start.

Original place. See how people lived in these desert places a few decades ago. Toilets are really quite modern.

For those who understand.
The room was very nice.
Desert however…

A great experience! I went in a large group. There were mattresses for everyone and clean sheets, pillows, and blankets to use. The food is the best food I have had anywhere in the world! The bathrooms are clean and maintained. There is hot water to use as well. The grounds around the camp are maintained and kept nice. The camels are definitely a perk! Don't forget to book your camel ride! There are heating and AC units for each tent.

A fantastic experience! We staying in the little cabins which were effectively a hotel room very comfortable, clean and had air con so there's no reason not to visit if you don't fancy the camping. The food was great and the whole experience fantastic.

25 dollars asked us for a place at night for polatku with 1 person… A place for tourists in a hopeless position…

"Oasis" in the middle of the desert near civilization. From the entertainment: Camel riding and donkeys, lectures on useful herbs and local ecology (carried out by the inhabitants-Bedouins), a lesson of the game on Darbuka… The food is edible, even with some signs of Bedouin color.

As if Bedouin atmosphere, sleep in a big tent on a mattress, there are tables, a shower-toilets, a place for a fire. Camel riding 5 minutes touches… Could make the circle over more.

Great food, camel rides and great for groups.

Awesome place. Great people and great service.

Good Bedouin Camp. A bit artistic, just for tourists but good. Good food, camel ride and very beautiful starlit sky in desert.

Great experience in the desert if you don't expect a too traditional and adventurous place (the rooms are as comfy as a hotel). Really good dinner (crazy amount of food, way too much actually) and nice breakfast. The staff is really nice. I definitely recommend if you are around and want a night in the desert, with hot water and a shower!

Used to be a beautiful place. Awful service, filthy shower stalls, and heavily used mattresses. Definitely the worst place of its kind. And one more important point — have a look at the map before you go there as it has only 2-3 attractions that are in a reasonable distance from this location. All other attractions require a 50 minutes drive at least.

Nice place in the middle of nowhere.

Fantastic hosting, staff are great, loving the place.

This place is amazing! We stayed there for one night with a group of friends and loved every moment. It is an oasis in the middle of the desert, with good facilities, good food (excellent breakfast), and really cool sleeping options (we stayed in a "Sukkah"). I can't wait to go there again :)
