Kibbutz Country Lodging Shaar Hagolan

Tiberias

Kibbutz near Lake Tiberias. Clean room, refrigerator, microwave, boiler, climate, comfortable. Pleasant environment, very beautiful garden, full of flowers and very beautiful trees.

Have a pleasant day

The facility is said to have 3 stars, which is simply not true. We only know of kibbutz that are better by light years. The whole facility is cloudy, the food is partly ok, dishes, cups and cutlery partly unclean. The use dishes have to be sorted by hand in the washing machine (almost like in India). Very friendly staff at the reception. Good wine and beer. WiFi in the rooms is unusable. Covered swimming pool (the best in the facility). We have been in Israel more than five times, the worst accommodation in a long time.

Unattended

It's a nice Kibbutz not far from Lake Genesaret. You sleep in small bungalows, very naturally, which are simple but very useful. The food is good. We felt very, very comfortable. For people looking for luxury, staying in a Kibbutz is not the right thing to do.

Nice Kibbutz, vacation another time

I totally agree with some of the recent reviewers who gave three stars or two. 
This so-called Kibbutz Resort Hotel lies in the middle of nowhere (or everywhere), not far away from the southern end of Kinneret. I arrived by taxi from Tel Aviv Ben Gurion after 22:00. I was taken to my room in a little house (bathroom, Kitchenette, bedroom). In the refrigerator they had left two bags with food for me (2 breads, cheese, jam, halva, olives, cocktail tomatoes, an apple and a pear, some milk), which I found very friendly since I had missed dinner. Besides, the air condition had been set on heating, there were 28 degrees in the room, outside it was rather cold. 
The next morning I explored the neighbourhood before I had lunch. There are a lot of plants around the houses. On the whole the kibbutz needs some maintenance, it was not in a good condition. I suppose they accept tourists to make some money. The hall where I had breakfast and dinner is "functional", not more. In the evening the guests were asked to leave at a certain point of time, but then it was Shabbat. If it were not for the coloured glass windows, the handmade blankets (or should I call them carpets?) on the walls and the exhibits of common journeys of kibbutz inhabitants, I would call this hall bleak. In fact, it is not, because the women from the kibbutz were sitting together having breakfast and prattling along separated from the men. The service is done by handicapped people and their "supervisor". After the meals, the guests are supposed to carry their dishes to a large room where they are to separate the waste, the glasses, plates, etc. and put them on a conveyor belt. I did not mind that but for a resort hotel this was most unusual. 
It is probably best to stay in this place only for one or a few nights, or if you are away in the complete daytime.

Not really a resort hotel from the catalogue

Kibbutz lost in the middle of nowhere, not much indication, proper housing and very clean, dirty breakfast really looks like a communal room.

an experience

We had such a great time at the kibbutz. Coming over on Friday, we quickly got our apartment for the night, tidy, simple, hot water are great, all the essential stuff is there. We had time to go to the heated sweeming pool just before the Shabbat evening dinner. 
For those of you who are new in kibbutz life, this is an experience by itself. 
People are kind and welcoming, the food is fresh and varied enough to meet everyones taste, and dishes were full...
Morning time, the archaeological museum was just nearby, the view of the Golan heights is stunning, and the kids loved the petting experience in the local animal garden. 
All together, that was an unforgettable weekend. 
Thanks Shaar Hagolan People, you have a great place to offer!!

Northern sunny winter weekend

A very good time with a warm and efficient reception. The room was neat, clean. To welcome us, the hotel offered us very good almonds 😃the next morning we enjoyed breakfast  shabbat mode  and a tour of the place.

Step into a kibbutz

It seem that time stoped at the entrance to the place. The pool is very old. Need renovation...
The dining place is old and the presentation of food is terrible!
I thing we need to stop coming untill they decide to make it a better place. 

There are better places in the are

Stayed 2 nights. Room could have used a little TLC, but was fine. Everyone from higher end people to families with small kids BBQing there. Hotel units and cabins in large layout. Quite a few tour groups. Nice private beach and a pool. On the south shore of the lake.
The dinning room is in a separate building at small walk. Nice views from the somewhat plain dinning room. Food was good. Pop and drinks are extra charges to the room and 2 in our group had mis-charges or to the wrong room at checkout. A small convenience store with very good hours is next door. It seems to close for short periods while the nice little old man goes to meals.  
Avoid going to the breakfast buffet when it opens because it takes 15 minutes to get it all out.

Nice lakeside location

The price performance is right here. The facility is well maintained and has charm. In front of the houses there is plenty of room for picnic or simply being. It is still a typical kibbutz facility. You eat breakfast with the residents. The dining room has gotten a little older - but ok. The breakfast buffet is rich. The facility is also good for families. There are housing units with 5 bedrooms per unit. Also suitable for groups/multiple families. You can feel a family atmosphere in this kibbutz. The kibbutz has a large, covered swimming pool. The location is good.
