    I had the most incredible stay at this unique and peaceful monastery. The history and beauty surrounding the sacred grounds made it a truly awe-inspiring experience. The staff took wonderful care of me, making me feel right at home. The guesthouse itself was clean, tastefully decorated, and the meals were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to help with taxi arrangements and make my stay memorable. I can't wait to return for a longer stay.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel close to all the different churches within the Bethany Baptism area was perfect for exploring. My room overlooked the Jordan River, which was truly stunning. the bed was comfy and the bathroom was very clean.

    The location of this accommodation was extraordinary, only a few steps from the Baptism Site. the gardens were beautifully kept and the building was impressive and quirky. the breakfast was fantastic with a good variety of options, and the staff were attentive and courteous. the room was clean and comfortable and had a mini fridge for our convenience.

    The access to the accommodation was restricted and not easy to find by foot or private vehicle. We struggled to communicate with staff who did not speak English well, which made check-in and arranging transportation difficult.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is superb, right in the middle of all the attractions. The service was top-notch, with room service, car hire, and a helpful staff available 24/7. The amenities were impressive, with a sauna, BBQ facilities, and a beautiful garden area to relax in. The free Wi-Fi in public areas was a bonus for staying connected. The room itself was comfortable and well-appointed, with a flat-screen TV and a mini-bar. I had a great experience.

    Highly recommended for everyone.

    I had the most peaceful and serene experience staying at a hotel near the Baptism site of Jesus. The beauty of the garden and the serenity of the surroundings made it a truly remarkable experience. I even had the opportunity to attend a Russian Orthodox Service in the church, which added to the overall sense of tranquility.

    I do have to mention a couple of drawbacks, though. The room, although basic, was relatively expensive, and on top of that, there was an additional fee to drive through the tourist site to the hotel.

    We had an amazing time at the hotel. The staff was friendly, the food was great, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. We got a free upgrade to the presidential suite which was super nice. The hotel is located next to the Jordan river and close to all the different churches within the Bethany Baptism area so it's great for exploring. There is ample parking and transportation is easy to access.

    Nothing, no complaints at all.

    Stayed at a unique location with private access to the Jordan river, just a short walk away. The surrounding area was peaceful and tranquil, with beautiful scenery. The staff were accommodating and helpful, providing great service throughout our stay.

    The location was quite remote and difficult to access without a car, and there were some communication issues with the staff. Breakfast was limited, and there were no options for hot food or drinks in the rooms.
