Was beautiful except you can only enter the “dining area” at certain times, and there is limited ways to get to properly. Also, I left sentimental earrings there and the owner’s son said he sent them, and didn’t (despite offering him $$). :(

Charming Guest House at Arbel

The guest house is just a few minutes from the Arbel, which was our destination. It is charming, low-key, clean, and -as promised-the breakfast was wonderful. One of us asked for orange juice; they went out and picked the fruit from their ample trees, and brought us a pitcher of the most delicious fresh-squeezed orange juice. They aim to please. The accomodations are comfortable but not fancy. We liked it and would come back.

Lieu à éviter absolument

Après avoir constaté le VOL d’argent en espèces dans notre chambre nous avons été choqués par la désinvolture du responsable qui ne se sentait absolument pas concerné . Nous avons porté plainte à la police locale et nous avons décidé de ne pas rester vu l’insécurité du lieu pour notre dernière nuit . Le responsable n’a rien voulu savoir pour le remboursement de celle-ci alors qu’il n’était que 14 h. Par chance nous avions pris un repas la veille au soir qui n’était pas encore payé Nous sommes donc partis sous les menaces de ce monsieur. Lieu à éviter absolument !

Great little getaway location

Great spot for a little R and R. Slightly off the beaten path but close enough to get to Tiberias quickly or other places. I decided to stay put and enjoy the pool and the gardens and some food since I had spent a couple of weeks touring.

Below the Horns of Hatin by the Cliffs of Arbel

I have stayed at the Arbel Guest House Shavit Family before and will stay there again. The Shavits are nice and they have a nice guest house and excellent restaurant and chocolate room below. Previously I stayed in a hostel bunk room. This time with three friends, we stayed in a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, the latter which we did not use, having pre-ordered dinner and with breakfast included. Dinner was excellent - we left stuffed, and breakfast was also very good and filling. Each bedroom had a double bed and a single, plus there was a single bed/couch in the living room. We all shared one bathroom. There was a lot of hot water including that which the shower leaked onto the floor, necessitating some towels on the floor to soak it up. It was comfortable, reasonably priced, and the chocolate was wonderful. Just around the corner from the Arbel Cliffs with its cave fortresses and down the road from Tiberius Ilit (Upper Tiberius city), Arbel Guest House is convenient to stay in if you are visiting the Sea of Galilee or Golan. The Horns of Hatin welcome you as you come and go.

FOOD was the star

Really nice family who showed care to their guests, property was lush with fruit trees and flowers, pool was ok. Our room was the attic room and we did NOT like the room at all. It was run down, old, dirty and the a/c barely worked. We were disappointed in the room and the offered us another room for one night and it was a big difference and what we were expecting. The food was excellent as mentioned in other reviews and I highly recommend eating at the hotel for breakfast.

A peaceful stay near the Sea of Galilee

We had only a brief stay at Arbel, so we did not use the pool, etc. The room was comfortable, though it is far from new; however, this is to be expected, and the charm and location of the guest house make its age a small issue. Our room had A/C, a television, small fridge, kitchenette, and a large jacuzzi tub. The bathroom itself was small, with a shower (but not in a self-contained unit). We paid for the breakfast, and this was definitely the right decision! Very yummy fruit smoothie, cheeses, fruits, and shakshouka. We would love to return to this guest house and spend more time enjoying the pool and scenery. This guest house was only minutes from the Arbel Nature Reserve (definitely hike this to see the best views of the Sea of Galilee) and even closer to a path that leads to the Arbel Ancient Synagogue. It is only a short drive down to many of the beaches on the Sea of Galilee and the Mount of Beatitudes.

Unique bed and breakfast - highly recommend

We absolutely loved staying at Arbel Guest House. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. The food was phenomenal! We had dinner there when we arrived. I would say it was one the best meals we've had in Israel, and there are many wonderful restaurants there. The owner makes a lot of his own food, such as jams, smoothies, sorbet, ice cream, limoncello, etc. They have so many fruit trees growing on property, and most of the food was either home made, or from local area. Definitely recommend looking in the basement, where the owner makes his own chocolate, jams and limoncello. Breakfast was really good too. The owner surprises you with every meal. We were so impressed. The grounds are beautiful with beautiful views of the mountain. Room was basic, but comfortable. We would love to return one day. I would definitely recommend staying here.
