I brought a group of 17 to the Shavit Guest House and they easily accommodated us in their guest house. Each room is unique which gives this place so much charm. Additionally, the grounds are a beautiful garden of flowers, bushes and citrus fruits. There is even a nice swimming pool. All of this is tucked away in a little... More

This guest house is absolutely beautiful, set in the hills near the Sea of Galilee. My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and were given our own very spacious lodge to stay in, complete with it's own kitchen. However, we didn't want to cook for ourselves with such an amazing restaurant with food cooked by the the very talented... More

We stayed for three nights at the guest house and we could not have been more satisfied with the experience. Our hosts Sarah and Yisrael went out of their way to accommodate us; even going so far as giving us s ride to the bus station; laundry and helping us out with directions. Our room was clean, neat and comfortable--the... More

We spent 3 nights with Sara and Israel. Very quiet and relaxing environment. Incredible food.. the leg of lamb was the best I have ever tasted! If you like to get out and stretch your legs, trails to ancient ruins and awe inspiring views are just across the road. Bottom line: very comfortable rooms, gracious hosts, excellent food and a...

If you are thinking staying in the Tiberias area of Israel, we can most strongly recommend the Arbel Guest House operated by the Shavit family. Although located some 3 kilometres outside of Tiberias, the wonderful accommodations (we had a small suite with a Jacuzzi in the bedroom and a separate bathroom), inviting swimming pool, excellent food prepared by Mr. Shavit...

There was a nice game room, above ground pool, play ground and hammocks,bee hives,lovely plants and flowers, good food and nice hosts. Cons: isolated from everything, 15 minute... More

I would definitely recommend a relaxed stay with Sarah and Yisrael over a hotel in busy Tiberias. We were going to stay for only two nights before and leave for the Upper Golan, but decided to stay in Arbel as a base to explore the whole area. The location is very good for exploring the Golan and coastal area (Haifa... More

The grounds are beautiful and Israel and Sara Shavit are most friendly and helpful. Their guesthouse is a quiet place to relax after a busy day, and Israel cooks delicious dishes in his restaurant for dinner. the breakfasts are wonderful and well presented. Don't leave without a visit to the chocolate and wine room. There are a variety of room... More

After spending 3 days in the middle of bustling Old City Jerusalem, this lovely guest house was the perfect spot for a respite in the country. We got an amazing view of the some of the cliffs of Mount Arbel and a cozy, clean apartment equipped with a living area and small kitchenette. Sara and Israel Shavit were lovely hosts,... More
