Very dirty. Outside sitting area never get cleaned. Inside pools also not cleaned - hair, dirt everywhere . For almost 30$ entrance fee and huge amount of people that come inside it should be at least clean enough. Went again, nothing change, only became worse, now only 2 separate( men and women) sulfur pools are open, the rest 4 are closed down. People sitting like sardines in a can. Old women come inside of pools in their everyday clothes, they are fill up the pool and sitting there for hours instead of 15-20 minutes, they also eat there and all the food in the water, really disgusting. The spa staff is very busy selling tickets and don’t control what’s going on in the pools. People are very loud, instead of relaxing you get headache and disappointment.

Definitely not a nice place to go but bathing in the Dead Sea compensates all.

The Dead Sea is a must visit and a lot of fun, but the lifeguards and staff at the spa were very rude. It's a 15-20 minute walk to the sea from the spa, and an hour after they opened the shuttle still was not running. I asked the two lifeguards (who were asleep when we got to the beach) twice to call the shuttle because we needed to catch our bus back and they refused and just said it would start running soon. I normally wouldn't care about walking that distance, but we only had an hour and a half at the beach and had to spend half of it walking. I was skeptical that they even worked at the spa due to how they were acting, but they assured me they did. It seemed like they were the ones on vacation :)

Netter Lost Place

We had much fun in this place. They have a nice beach, free shuttle to the beach from the pool, free mud, which is fun to do, and most important, plenty of showers and enough shadow for the heat.

Nice beach that gets this place an extra star above one star facility. Pool is ok, sulfur bath is quite dirty. Good ice cream in the lobby, but terrible restaurant.

This is one of the best places to attend off you are looking to relax and get in the hot water. If you have aches in your back and body so this is the right place for you. Great parking spaces outside so you won't have any problem to park there.

This botanical garden come kibbutz is and amazingly beautiful habitat. People living here have taken their love for plants and trees to another level. You can see trees from all over the world and some really really old one. Big and beautiful. Every house every family living there seem to contribute to the beauty of the place. You can see the harmony in which the plants, trees and the people live. Its a true oasis. Its also beautiful the contrast it creates with its arid desert surrounding. As a visitor the only few drawbacks were no restrooms, the one which was marked was locked. Ther is a small food cart with a beautiful setting, you can sit on the grass under a tree and enjoy small snack and coffee. A must visit if you are in the area, and if you love trees and plants.

It's amazing! If you are a city person, this Botanical experience is worth the visit. All of the plants are within the Kibbutz, so it's a walking experience, to see the variety of fauna. If you're hot and tired, I wouldn't suggest it:). We saw some one of a kind cacti and those succulents stay in your dreams. If I knew it was a walking experience, I would have come prepared! Bring water, hat and your camera!! Located in the middle of nowhere, quite moving that this oasis was created by creative and innovative Israeli's-bravo!!

Absolutely astounding place, tons of exotic trees and cacti. Well-maintained. Beautiful surroundings - Dead sea, Judean desert, and 400m high mountains.

Great place to visit, you can walk around even on the scorching heat of summer in the shaded path ways and enjoy the amazing plants. It’s also great for a family with kids with lots of place for them to run around. Very clean and the local people are very friendly.

The area where the gardens are located is very barren, albeit beautiful - towering sand rocks on one side and the Dead Sea the other side of the highway. To come across flowers, shrubs and bushes so profuse in color was a wonderful surprise. You can feel the love that has gone into creating an oasis of growth. The area has prime hiking trails and if you are lucky you will see Ibex. We didn't hike but enjoyed a drive round and did spot Ibex. The sun is brutal so hats, sunscreen and water are essential.

Amazing waterfalls! A dip in the pools is super refreshing. Saw what felt like hundreds of Ibex.

A beautiful kibbutz. All of it is actually the botanical garden, which features about a thousand different species of plants. The path has many beautiful viewpoints to the nearby Arugut river.

Had amazing deep tissue massage from Yuli. I highly recommend this spa and the whole Ein Gedi hotel experience. Beautiful setting great food peaceful place with a lot of history.

Very warm welcome from the staff. Clean and relaxing atmosphere Very good SPA, Very recommended place for a fun day

The best SPA we ever been. Clean, intimate, relaxed and salty. Pool with a hot sea water, hamam, fresh water pool and a lot of space for breathing . The only thing is the unfriendly stuff at the desk.

We took the synergy package. It was a great experience: the spa is beautiful, with stunning view. The personal is very nice, take care of you very well and give very good treatment. I recommend without doubt if you want the full relaxed Dead Sea experience

Amazing location. If you want an early start at Ein Gedi, Masada, or the Dead Sea-this place will serve you well. Air Conditioning is needed (we had some trouble getting it to work, and a filter change was all that was needed). Restaurant on site was great. Service was excellent.

One of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Extremely disappointing. Went to Synergy Spa for a couple's massage with my girlfriend during my vacation in Ein Gedi. I called over the phone to make an appointment and the woman didn't speak English well but she understood I said couple's massage and she asked me if I wanted combination, swedish, etc. and I said Swedish. She said we could come at 5 so we did. I got there and the facilities were beautiful, amazing pool, coffee, and tea. My girlfriend and I were very excited to get tea and relax. We were waiting for our masseuses. One guy came out and it was clear that he would be mine. Then another older man came out and it was clear he would be my girlfriend's masseuse. She didn't feel very comfortable with that so I asked up front to switch to a female masseuse, and the receptionist, who was very sweet, asked the manager. The manager told me that I knew what I was getting and I need to stop, and the clock is ticking and she pays the masseuse's by the hour and, I need you to go relax now! I felt like I was being screamed at by the school principal and I felt angry and very much not relaxed, but I paid $220 for this so I held back my anger and told my girlfriend she has to have a random man massaging her. Anyways, we start to go to the rooms, and my guy leads me to a room with one bed, while the other guy was leading my girlfriend to another private room. This was definitely not what I asked for so I went back to the lady at reception to tell her we have a couple's massage, and she again redirected me to the manager who had been nasty to me earlier. The manager said that's not what I asked for and that the lady at the front desk is a very nice lady so I'm sorry you misunderstood. "You did not order a couple's massage, that's completely different, that's 840 sheckles! There's a hot tub, wine, no! You are wasting your time and I pay the masseuse's by the hour. We are closing soon and you need to go with them". She was so demeaning to me and said the price of the couple's massage like it was something way above me (It was like $30 more than the $220 I was already paying). She then realized the couple's room is empty and very generously allowed us the opportunity to set foot inside the hallowed halls of the couple's room. The actual massage was nice. I gave the younger man to my girlfriend. We were both a bit uncomfortable with the situation but it ended up fine. He was very light with her because I think he knew she wasn't comfortable with a male masseuse. When we got out, the spa was closed, so we put all our clothes back on our oily bodies. I looked for the manager so I could tell her about how I was disappointed with my experience, but she was gone. When I asked the remaining employees where she was and told them why I wanted to speak to her, they said she is a very very nice woman and I just don't understand Israelis. I've been living in Israel for a year. I understand Israelis. The pool was closed, the showers were closed, the tea and coffee was gone, so my girlfriend and I left. Overall, my experience at Synergy was awful. I paid $220 to be talked down to and gaslight by an angry manager, had a male masseuse for my girlfriend, which she was not comfortable with, and was not able to enjoy any of the facilities or even wash myself off as the spa closed at 6 pm, which I was not told until after I paid. The only reason I didn't walk out after being treating like a stupid child by the manager was I had already paid for the massage. TLDR: I came for a relaxing romantic time with my girlfriend and left frustrated, aggravated, oily, and with $220 less money in my pocket.

Kochav the manager of the spa is the rudest person you will ever meet. She needs to be fired on the spot! I lost something there and she threatened to call the police. Avoid the synergy spa until she is fired!

Beautiful nature reserve. Very peaceful place to enjoy the sounds of nature. Unfortunately, none of my Palestinian friends are allowed here. It's like 1980s South Africa in this settlement area.

Five stars isn't enough for Ein Gedi Eco Park. This place is a living, breathing testament to what's possible when we work with nature, not against it. It's an oasis of sustainability, and frankly, it's what every park, every home, every community should aspire to be. The moment you walk in, you feel the energy. It’s not just about the beautiful gardens and the incredible views of the Dead Sea—which are, by the way, breathtaking—it's about the feeling that everything here has a purpose. The water, a precious resource, is recycled and used to sustain the lush, vibrant plant life. The food is grown right there in the garden, a true farm-to-table experience that makes you feel connected to the earth with every bite. The composting toilets, the mud building workshops, the solar ovens—it's all so simple and yet so brilliant. Ein Gedi isn't just a place to visit; it’s a place to learn. It’s a demonstration of how we can create a beautiful, abundant life while living in harmony with the planet. It makes you feel hopeful about the future. I left feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and ready to bring a little bit of that intentional, sustainable magic back to my own life. This is the kind of experience that stays with you. Go. You won't regret it.

Such an amazing scenery Wish I stayed longer. Ein Gedi is one of the most beautiful places in the world, literally one big botanical park, a place that relaxes the body and soul, So make a stop here if you are on the way to Masada or Dead Sea spa.

Ein Gedi is a stunning oasis in the middle of the desert, full of waterfalls, streams, and desert wildlife. The contrast between the dry cliffs and the flowing water makes it feel like a hidden miracle. Hikes range from easy to challenging, and there's a peaceful energy throughout the reserve. Some say King David hid in these caves, and being here, you can feel the history in the landscape. It’s one of the most spiritual nature experiences in Israel.

I came here on a tour included with Dead Sea and Masada. Fun stop with some waterfalls and small “pools” to cool off from the heat. They also have David’s waterfall which has a biblical meaning, you can walk to it which is a little far in the heat but I chose not to. Good stop if you have time.

At the time of my writing (2025/10/4),the original trail to David Wadi is destroyed by flood half year's ago. Little to nothing to see inside this park. There are two hiking trails and you could consult the staff at the entrance. If you don't to hike, please consider to skip this place for it must let you down completely given to current status.

A beautiful oasis in the Judean desert. A must see place when visiting Israel and wants to observe how the water affects the desert environment.

A unique site offering a glance over an ancient Hebrew cult that lived in the Kumeran desert site. The site exhibits a half-reconstruction of the physical structure where the community spent its time together. The automatic guided tour (using a small speaker) is very recommended. In a cave in the mountains in front of the site, multiple scrolls were found during 1947 and have been supplying precious information about how this community used to live.

Actually I didn't visit the synagogue itself, but nearby you can have luck to see the ibex herds. They do like to feed in the groves nearby.

Ein gedi is a must see. The mosaic floor at the ancient sungai is breathtaking and the park is gorgeous.

A very interesting archaeological site to visit. The mosaic floors are beautiful and well preserved. It's a site that is very easy to visit, even without a guide. The site is well planned with good signage and information available. Important to remember that your entrance to Ein Gedi National Park also includes this site. Save your receipt! There is also a new walking path from the entrance to the National Park to here. The path is wheelchair accessible as well.

Interesting place, nice view, we showed tickets Form Wadi Arugot path, so it was for free for us.

The synagogue is located on the north-east side of Tell Goren. It was first built in the 3rd C AD as a modest structure. The structure underwent a series of renovations during the 4th C and 5th C. It had two floors, with a staircase on its northwest wall. The Roman/Byzantine village was densely built, with houses connected to each other. The floor of the synagogue is covered by a beautiful mosaics. Most of the mosaic carpet is decorated with quad petal flowers. In the center is a circle with four birds. The circle is framed by two squares, with a pair of peacocks on each corner. Inscriptions in Hebrew and Aramaic list the donators who helped to construct and renovate the synagogue. The synagogue was destroyed by fire in the middle of the 6th century, during the period of Justin II. Thus came an end of 1,000 years of civilization in the Ein Gedi oasis, and remained in ruins since then.

Ancient synagouge in the Ein Gedi oasis along the Dead Sea that was active until about the 4th century ....impressive mosiacs with a curse to those that would reveal thier trade secrets and slander.... The onsite garden is nice to relax in....bring some food and drinks....not allowed into the actual site, but on the picnic tables in the garden. I prayed the Jewish morning prayer there with my Tallit and Tefillin...facing north, towards Jerusalem...connecting to the past and continuing into the future
