Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book 2-4 months ahead for peak periods: Passover (March-April), Rosh Hashanah/Sukkot (September-October), and summer (June-August) - prices spike dramatically and availability disappears

💡

Check whether hotel is kosher - kosher hotels won't serve breakfast on Shabbat morning, have no restaurants open Friday night, and many have pool gender-separated swim times

💡

Dead Sea resort hotels in Ein Bokek often offer better rates for mid-week stays (Sunday-Thursday) than weekends when Israeli families fill the hotels

💡

Tel Aviv beach hotels command significant premiums - hotels 3-4 blocks from the beach offer similar access at 30-40% less

💡

Kibbutz hotels throughout the Galilee and Golan offer unique accommodation in working agricultural communities with excellent value and family-friendly facilities

💡

Many Israeli hotels include breakfast - verify if included as Israeli breakfast (salads, cheeses, egg dishes, pastries) is exceptional and worth 40-60 ILS if not included
