We were 6 nights in the Green Backpackers and loved every day! The people are very friendly, and because the hostel is not so big, we had good contacts with the other backpackers. The hostel was clean, the kitchen very good equipped, and on every evening they explained to us, what we could do, and what our plans were for... More

We stayed at the Green Backpackers for two nights and enjoyed it very much! We got a very warm welcome from the owners and they explained us how to go on the hiking tours. It is a very personal and cozy atmosphere! You will love it once you are there!!!!

The Green Backpackers is a fabulous hostel to stay if you want to explore the amazing Ramon Crater. The owners are very friendly. They helped us plan our hikes and had great suggestions for things to do. They even send my rain jacket that I forgot all the way to Switzerland! Thanks for your hospitality!

Green Backpackers is an intimate little hostel located two minutes from one of only seven "makhtesh" in the world. The owners (Yoash and Lee) are incredibly knowledgeable about the region and extremely accommodating, the atmosphere is perfect for meeting other outdoorsy travelers, and the scenery of the region is gorgeous. I had a great few days there, and would highly... More

Lee and Yoash who run the GB hostel showed genuine concern and care to make our stay in Mitzpe Ramon and with them a great experience. I got a very complete answer to all the questions I put about the Makhtesh area and the hiking trails so that I knew what I had to know before I went out to... More

We can only recommend the Green Backpackers. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the couple running it will happily recommend hiking tours and whatever else you might want to know about in the Makhtesh Ramon Area. We stayed in a nice and clean double room – the only minus is that the walls are a bit thin. But... More

The hostel is small and simple and there's no bathroom inside the rooms. You have to share the only bathroom they have with all the other guests. But the staff is really nice and help you with everything. The rooms are comfortable and pretty. It's well located, near the camel lookout view, where you can see an amazing sunset in... More
