Was beautiful except you can only enter the “dining area” at certain times, and there is limited ways to get to properly. Also, I left sentimental earrings there and the owner’s son said he sent them, and didn’t (despite offering him $$). :(

Charming Guest House at Arbel
The guest house is just a few minutes from the Arbel, which was our destination. It is charming, low-key, clean, and -as promised-the breakfast was wonderful. One of us asked for orange juice; they went out and picked the fruit from their ample trees, and brought us a pitcher of the most delicious fresh-squeezed orange juice. They aim to please. The accomodations are comfortable but not fancy. We liked it and would come back.

Great little getaway location
Great spot for a little R and R. Slightly off the beaten path but close enough to get to Tiberias quickly or other places. I decided to stay put and enjoy the pool and the gardens and some food since I had spent a couple of weeks touring.

Below the Horns of Hatin by the Cliffs of Arbel
I have stayed at the Arbel Guest House Shavit Family before and will stay there again. The Shavits are nice and they have a nice guest house and excellent restaurant and chocolate room below. Previously I stayed in a hostel bunk room. This time with three friends, we stayed in a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, the latter which we did not use, having pre-ordered dinner and with breakfast included. Dinner was excellent - we left stuffed, and breakfast was also very good and filling. Each bedroom had a double bed and a single, plus there was a single bed/couch in the living room. We all shared one bathroom. There was a lot of hot water including that which the shower leaked onto the floor, necessitating some towels on the floor to soak it up. It was comfortable, reasonably priced, and the chocolate was wonderful. Just around the corner from the Arbel Cliffs with its cave fortresses and down the road from Tiberius Ilit (Upper Tiberius city), Arbel Guest House is convenient to stay in if you are visiting the Sea of Galilee or Golan. The Horns of Hatin welcome you as you come and go.

FOOD was the star
Really nice family who showed care to their guests, property was lush with fruit trees and flowers, pool was ok. Our room was the attic room and we did NOT like the room at all. It was run down, old, dirty and the a/c barely worked. We were disappointed in the room and the offered us another room for one night and it was a big difference and what we were expecting. The food was excellent as mentioned in other reviews and I highly recommend eating at the hotel for breakfast.

A peaceful stay near the Sea of Galilee
We had only a brief stay at Arbel, so we did not use the pool, etc. The room was comfortable, though it is far from new; however, this is to be expected, and the charm and location of the guest house make its age a small issue. Our room had A/C, a television, small fridge, kitchenette, and a large jacuzzi tub. The bathroom itself was small, with a shower (but not in a self-contained unit). We paid for the breakfast, and this was definitely the right decision! Very yummy fruit smoothie, cheeses, fruits, and shakshouka. We would love to return to this guest house and spend more time enjoying the pool and scenery. This guest house was only minutes from the Arbel Nature Reserve (definitely hike this to see the best views of the Sea of Galilee) and even closer to a path that leads to the Arbel Ancient Synagogue. It is only a short drive down to many of the beaches on the Sea of Galilee and the Mount of Beatitudes.

Unique bed and breakfast - highly recommend
We absolutely loved staying at Arbel Guest House. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. The food was phenomenal! We had dinner there when we arrived. I would say it was one the best meals we've had in Israel, and there are many wonderful restaurants there. The owner makes a lot of his own food, such as jams, smoothies, sorbet, ice cream, limoncello, etc. They have so many fruit trees growing on property, and most of the food was either home made, or from local area. Definitely recommend looking in the basement, where the owner makes his own chocolate, jams and limoncello. Breakfast was really good too. The owner surprises you with every meal. We were so impressed. The grounds are beautiful with beautiful views of the mountain. Room was basic, but comfortable. We would love to return one day. I would definitely recommend staying here.

They welcomed us and gave us thoughtful guidance on our trip plan. We had super delicious dinner twice there. Fruits and vegeables from their garden were very tasty. They had very friendly dog and cats as Welcome Ambassadors.

Our stay near the Sea of Galilee
When we arrived at Arbel guest house we were surprised by the serene environment. It was located on a farm of fruit trees and livestock, amidst what was formerly a Kibbutz. Reminiscent to a quaint California ranch house, this bed and breakfast type of residence was a real oasis in the middle of dry grain farmland. The smell from the kitchen hit our noses as we approached the house, and invigorated our senses, as we were hungry and tired from our travels, as well as in need of some TLC. We had arrived at the right place! Our hosts, Israel and Sarah Shavit, were very loving and hospitable. They showed us to our rooms with Jacuzzi tubs. After we cleaned up, we went back down to the dining room and were served the best meal that I have probably ever had. The Lamb stew was the special that evening, and it was prepared in gourmet fashion. Our experience was a blend of eating at the highest quality restaurant and going home to Mom's house. The real surprise occurred the next morning, when my wife and I awoke before daybreak and headed East for a moderate hike to mount Arbel. My heart burned with joy as we gazed over Galilee, pondering our Lord's footsteps and many works in this region. There is even a ruined synagogue where I believe Jesus preached (see Luke 4:16-30). I've never written one of these reviews, really because no place has ever made such an impression on me as the Arbel guest house has. I highly recommend staying with the Shavit family in Tiberias!

Wonderful Food
First, the best points. This bed and breakfast is run by a skilled chef so the meals, breakfast and dinner, are outstanding both in taste and presentation. The family that runs this are sweet, kind, and friendly. You will feel like you are staying with dear friends. This Guest House is about 5 kilometers from the town of Tiberias, public transportation is minimal, unless you are driving a car you will be limited to eating and local hiking.

Shangri-La in the Galilean Hillside
We loved everything about our stay at Arbel Guest House. Run by two generations, the entire staff was kind, solicitous of our comfort, attentive and fun to talk to. The rooms are lovely and comfortable--hot showers, in-bedroom jacuzzi (ooh la la!) with sun coming through the glass-tiled wall, sconces, comfortable bed with canopy, fridge, coffee and tea available in room, lovely porch for sipping wine or coffee and journaling or just listening to the birds while taking in the mountain views. The grounds are small but gorgeous, a warren of arbors with bougainevillea, geraniums, calla lilies, night-blooming jasmine. The food in the restaurant is amazing!!! Everything was delicious and abundant, with lots of unlooked-for extras: an amuse bouche of mango mocktail, many delicious homemade vegetable side dishes, and a snort of the owner Israel's homemade sherry to top it off. Wine list was ample, with lots of local wines. The owners will invite you to enjoy the wine and chocolate cave underneath the restaurant--don't miss it! We didn't bring our kids but there were other families there--this guest house very well suited for families with kids of any age. Spring is a lovely time to visit the Galilee--and this a totally beautifully nook of it. I was only sad that we couldn't stay longer.
