The Setai Bayit Bagalil

This was hands down the best experience at a hotel in Israel I’ve ever had. It starts with the ride up a scenic route in the beautiful where it is located. Serene. Private. Nature. Beauty. The building itself is wonderfully crafted and very pretty and well thought out. The staff is very friendly, knew our names and were always available to help if needed. Fauzi, one of the groundskeepers, was very helpful and showed us around. Liem at reception was very friendly as well and a big help. My wife and I spent three nights and loved every moment. The pool has this great view of the Sea of Galilee. The food was excellent. We needed a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and this was perfect. Highly recommended.

A great place for a peaceful getaway in nature! The hotel is located on a hill in the forest — the air is fresh, the surroundings are beautiful, and you can hear birds singing. The grounds are well maintained, and the interior is cozy and tastefully designed. Rooms are spacious, with a comfortable bed and high-quality linens, pillows, and towels. There’s a spa area with both dry and wet saunas, a gym that’s open 24/7, and a heated pool during the colder seasons. I visited during Passover, so some spa services were limited, but overall, the experience was very positive. The food is kosher, and both breakfast and dinner were fresh, tasty, and offered a nice variety. Huge thanks to the staff — everyone was very attentive and welcoming. Special thanks to the general manager, Nadav, for his personal and professional approach. You could really feel that he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great stay. Highly recommended — and I’d gladly come back again!

This is a premium experience. It is recommended for a calm, relaxed time with your loved ones. Location. The hotel is on a hill with beautiful views from multiple points in the hotel. The pine forest surrounds the hotel territory, a landscaping art piece. Flowers and tree blossoms with intoxicating aromas are delightful. There are some places of interest for tourists in the area, too. Free parking is included. There is a charging station for electric cars. The eclectic continental design, with old photos of the area on the walls, gives Eastern vibes from the moment you step inside. Cosy sofas and armchairs surround fireplaces, demanding your bodies lie, rest, and chat with friends. Please bring board and card games with you—this is the best place for them. There is a big pool for all guests and private pools in some rooms. The water is pleasant and warm (perfect for April in Israel). There are many terraces with views where you can enjoy your meal or work if you cannot just drop it and rest—decent free Internet connection for workaholics. There is a small gym in the hotel with a nice view. The rooms are huge and clean, with various pillows and comfy mattresses. We stayed in two different rooms: one with a small terrace and one with a private pool. Food: simple, fresh, and tasty. It's nothing fancy, but it's on a good level for Israel. However, I need to disclaim that we stayed during holidays, which usually negatively affects food options in all Israeli hotels. However, here, it was not dramatic. We didn't want to leave the place for food, so we booked a half-board option. You can also order in-room service and food by the pool. The food is cosher. SERVICE!!! The best part of this place is the service. The hotel manager greeted us before entering. My husband had some trouble sleeping in the room because of the noise, and we were immediately moved to another room. All our requests were met with smiles and a sincere desire to help. What a pleasure to be treated like this! Something else for Israel service, which is usually not so welcoming….
