The neigborhood (buildings, streets) looks less good.

Clean, well maintained, quiet, comfortable. Excellently located close to a great view of the desert. Nice place to eat nearby.

The master bedroom is small. There is no room to open the suitcase. There is a large storage cupboard,but it is not available - it is either locked or full with blankets and stuff. We had no place for our stuff, and had to open our suitcase in the living room and use it. It would have been nice to provide guests a map of the area with recommendations and highlights. The owner sent us a link to such information, but it is not the same as a map, where you can see what is close by.

Great location. Living room is very nice.

Building is old, but apartment renewed. Still for a 10 months crawling there were a few dangerous places (but we managed to put everything in safety). There are a few stairs to get into the apartment. We didn't know were to leave the stroller, ended up leaving it downstairs but anybody can take it

All the rest and overall we were super happy. Also the kids love it!

lights on stairwell did not work.

great location - a few meters from the promenade at the edge/top of the machtesh (crater) - so just a short walk for amazing views. Clean. Spacious and well equipped kitchen. Real dining table. Big couches.

Location, easy check-in

seems like it was renovated some time ago already, the walls and the doors look in a need of another renovation.

It‘s a really nice apartment, we enjoyed the decor.

Large bed not comfortable. Sheets came off bed - too small &worn. Large bed too near wall. Have to climb over bed to get to that side. Could be rearranged more centrally. No extra pillow cases if you want extra pillows. Trisim rattle in wind. Doors to bathroom stick make noise when you open/close in middle of night .

Roomy apartment. Good kitchen. Great shower. Comfortable seating in living room. Very near machtesh. Amazing view.

The apartment is in a very old apartment building, the entrance is not pleasant, dirty and dark in the night. Overall we had a nice experience, but for the price I would expect a nicer building.

The apartment was very comfortable, well equipped for a family, spacious and very clean. It's in a walking distance from the walking route near the cliff. The check-in instructions were clear and allowed us to check in autonomously and quickly.

Rien a signaler.

Just a few steps from the crater, in a quiet location, a spacious and perfectly equipped apartment. We regretted having to leave the other day.

It wasn’t as accessible as I thought. For future reference, there are about 5 steps down to get to the entrance, then 16 steps up to the apartment.

very comfortable, clean, well organized space and friendly helpful hostess

Cleanliness could be even better. The building is quite oldish.

The location was absolutely perfect 200 m from the Crater. The host very nice and responsive. The appartment very comfy and spacious.

Freezing cold! Barely slept :(

Great apartment. Exactly what we wanted

The entrance to the building is a bit neglected, and the walls are super thin. We stayed for two night, the first one we had really loud trance music in our bedroom. The music did stop at 11pm as law requires, but with a small kid that goes to sleep at 8pm, this was not very pleasant. The second night, we had the upstairs neighbor play the piano and sing until around 9pm. Other than that - the pots and pans are scratched and can be replaced.

We stayed there with one kid but it can easily fit a family of five persons. The location is great - 2 minutes walk from amazing view to Makhtesh Ramon. The apartment is really nice and cozy. There are three basic rooms, one bathroom and an additional toilet. The living room is comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. There's lots of parking. Taking the price into consideration this is a great deal.

The apartment was not as clean as we expected, mostly we found a lot of dust in many locations. The warm blankets were not covered in sheets, and this should be improved (I assume they do not wash those after every stay). Even though the apartment itself is lovely, it is located in a rundown building with no landscaping/gardening and a view of the desert, and the cost (in my opinion) does not reflect that. Finally, for the price we paid, we expected a decent coffee, but they only provided black coffee powder (only after we asked for it), not even instant coffee. This could be easily fixed with a simple Nespresso machine and some pods.

This is a very convenient apartment with 3 bedrooms, and a separate living room and kitchen. It can easily host a family with 3/4 kids. The apartment was overall in a good shape, and very close to the Makhtesh Ramon viewpoint (~1 min walking distance). The kitchen is equipped for cooking and food serving. The living room has a comfortable sofa. The location is very good to start several hikes without the need for a car, and not far from the commercial center of town wite grocery stores, fast food, and more.

Nothing at all. Only wish we had more time...

Overall a wonderful apartment, well spaced out, comfortable, and well equipped. An easy 3 minute walk from the stunning Ramon Crater boardwalk. Ayala, our host, was available by phone and text throughout our stay and was helpful with all our questions.

Regarding the bathrooms - it would be a good idea to specify explicitly that the second bathroom is just a toilet. This might be important if the guests are two couples.

The Desert Zen apartment is spacious (3 bedrooms), clean, and located just across Albert Kats promenade and Camel Mount. This is a quiet area with a peaceful view. The kitchen is fully equipped. Also, there is a supermarket nearby. The host (with whom we talked over the phone) is friendly and helpful. Considering these pros, and the modest price - Desert Zen is absolutely recommended.
