The Green Backpackers Hotel

אכסניית תרמילאים מקסימה. הנגב פוגש את סצינת התרמילאים הבין לאומית והתוצאה פשוט תענוג. הצוות ידידותי ומלא ידע. המקום נקי ונעים ומעוצב נוח ואותנטי. שירותים שונים במקום מביאים בחשבון כל צורך של טיילים. האהבה שמושקעת במקום מורגשת מאוד. מומלץ בחום לתרמילאים וטיילים מהארץ ומחו"ל. תחנה נהדרת במיוחד לשביליסטים.

To second a review from Iziz Kohn. Same has happened to me. The Reception lady, is genuinely warm and really nice. But the guy. Manager or owner. Not sure, is a bigot, false with his fake put up smile. Don't feel comfortable and settled when you book there, that guy will make up anything. And you can find yourself with no place to sleep. But under the sky in nice beautiful Mitspa Rimon. Book somewhere else. **** I see the owner replied. Everything I wrote is true. If they don't like your accent or anything, that sleazy guy… manager or whatever, can make something up… you can be registered and all… STAY AWAY!

Avoid this place by all means! I would usually not leave reviews at all, good or bad but I feel as a service to others I have to make an exception and write the following. I checked in online with a friend, showed up, started the registration/sign in process with a nice helpful lady, when suddenly a man approaches — looked like the top guy — whispering something into the ladies ears they both disappeared for a few minutes without mentioning anything leaving us stunned, then returning with a vicious tone giving us excuses for having to refuse us like overbooked etc… Not sure if it was the way we were dressed or the language we spoke… Being that we traveled for 18 hours to get there and get some rest we where not in a argue position we just left and will be filing a claim with the local authorities in the very near future.

This is a great hostel. The rooms are comfy and the staff is very knowknowledge about hiking the area. Thumbs up for showing some great hikes. Make sure to check in before 9pm though to avoid the 50 shekel penalty.

Great and friendly hostel. Located next to bus station and just outside edge of crater. Best spot for hiking trips.

Best Hostel in Israel, great location, very well furnished, good atmosphere, owners and the staff are very friendly and helpful, taking care of each one of the guests. Mitzpe Ramon is a great starting point for hiking in the negev desert.

Great place, like a home (not just a house) for travellers! Helpful people, good for trips around the desert. Highly recommend!

Funny place. U can meet there many interesting people. Clean. Nice. Low price.

This place is cozy, comfortable, and easy to get to. The people are friendly and you can probably make new friends if you stay here. It's a great place to visit, and hike around in one of the most beautiful natural areas in Israel :)

Great small hostel with lots of atmosphere. Well organised and clean. Friendly and professional staff. Noise insulation of the rooms towards the common room could be improved.

I can only recommend this hostel! I was there for the second time now, and I'm sure, whenever I will return to Mitzpe Ramon, I will head directly to Green Backpackers. The dorm I was in the last time is basic, clean and comfortable, the 2xDouble-bed room we had this time is super cosy. Both staff and travelers are always nice and kind and very very helpful, with lots and lots of advice for activities, hiking routes, restaurants, etc. In the area. Plus it's a five minute walk from the cliff with a great view for sunset. Don't miss the golden hour!

Very good hotel, good breakfast, nice room. Excellent treakings in the desert.

Really clean little hostel with a family like atmosphere!

Very nice and comfortable hostel. Nadia who welcome us was very friendly and helpful.

Three of us stayed in the hostel on our way from Elat to Tel Aviv. Even though we only stayed one night and we arrived quite late we experienced exceptional service. Girl that welcomed us was very helpful and provided us with the essential information about different hikes/walks and other things available in the area. As we woke up very early the following morning to enjoy the views of the crater, rushing to see everything we …planned and to get to the Tel Aviv before the sunset we left our stuff in the room we shared with other guests (phone and some clothes). Once we had reached the Tel — Aviv we found out about our loss. Even though I was very skeptical about contacting the hostel, my wife was determined to get her pictures from her phone back! She contacted the hostel and received immediate reply that all our belongings are safe and were sent to us next day. Thank you very much Green Backpackers! Stayed February 2017

The green backpackers hostel is an amazing place. Super clean, super nice, good advice if you are intrested in hiking. The atmosphere in the hostel is familylike. Its a really calm place where you can meet nice people and enjoy spending some time together. The local beer is amazing. Everything is quite close. We had an awesome stay. I totally recommend this hostel to everyone.

Great hostel: nice people, friendly atmosphere, clean but simple rooms. All in all a great place to stay if you want to explore the Negev!

I loved staying here! The staff and other guests were super friendly, the room was well-maintained, clean, and comfortable (I stayed in the room with private bath — it was so comfortable), and I got fantastic hiking advice from Tamar. Will definitely stay again next time I find myself in the Negev.

Amazing backpackers hostel. Great atmosphere. Very helpfull staff. All facilities (Kitchen, Lobby…) are well equipped and designed such that you will feel at home. Very Clean. Great place to stay and enjoy the company of other travellers.
Waiting for the next time to stay there.

Great place, super friendly, and really helpfull sweet staff! Really one of the best places I ever stayed!

Small and nice Hostel. The two girls are really caring for their guests and created a beautiful green Vintage Hostel. The rooms aren't huge but the ambient is relaxed and familiar. The location close to the crater is perfect. You can also get breakfast for 10 NIS and leave your luggage after checkout.

It's your home in the desert. This cozy hostel is the most peaceful place you could find in Mizpe Ramon. Located inside a family home in a neighborhood right next to the crater, You'd feel right at home. The place is decorated with a retro Schick and usually hosts young travelers. There's always someone nice to talk to and have a drink with. Lee and Yoash and the staff are most welcoming and helpful. They know A LOT about the desert and the crater itself. So you could go explore on your own or take a 4X4 group tour with them. Been there twice already and it's always a pleasure.

Excellent place with clean rooms, very friendly stuff and great hiking possibilities. Always come back! Great place ever!

Excellent Hostel! Absolutely Recommended!

Really great place to stay when exploring makhtesh in mitzpe ramon. The owners are really friendly and knowledgeable — I'd highly reccomend the Jeep tour if it's running whilst your are there.

Great Hostel, One of the best I've ever been to!

Wonderful place in the middle of the desert. It was recently opened when I was there so I had read no reviews, which is something I usually always do before booking. But taking a chance this time showed to be worth it. The owners really love running a hostel and make you feel welcome. They even provided a free evening guide walk. Comfortable beds, clean, free Wi-Fi, laundry (for a fee), kitchen. All you really need in a hostel.
