Reviews for ibex (iBike) unique Desert Inn
Review 1：The whole experience at iBex was quite lovely. Aviva was friendly and extended herself, taking very good care of us. The lodging was clean, warm and had all the amenities we needed. The location was great near a few delicious restaurants and an easy quick trip into town and to the Mitzpeh Ramon sites. And the breakfast was quite delicious - homemade and fresh. An overall wonderful experience. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.
Review 2：No outside windows - feels a bit claustrophobic Window in room had no curtain and the light from downstairs interrupted my sleep. Room would benefit from having a small writing table - somewhere to use a laptop.
Review 3：Friendly staff Spacious room and bathroom Great breakfast - especially the omelette
Review 4：The smaller rooms have windows to the internal hall and there is no fresh air from outside.
Review 5：Felt very inviting, homey and comfortable. Clean and highly maintained place. Looks very nice inside. Good food.
Review 6：Aviva and her partner are excellent hosts, making you feel at home instantly. The place is not big but very cozy, with everything one may need. And the breakfast, carefully homemade, is definitely a must! :-P
Review 7：We had 4 wonderful days wit Aviva and Menachem. Initially we planned for biking the Negev, but had to change our plans. They both showed us the most fabulous trails to hike instead. Both are real experts of the area. We had a lovely stay which they made to an unforgettable experience. The ibex hotel is the best starting point for exploring the area.
Review 8：Wonderful breakfast and stay at iBike. Our hosts were lovely, helpful and generous (thanks for those lovely cookies with the coffee!). Would have liked to stay longer
Review 9：The women who owns the place was nasty she spoke to us like we are Criminals Do not do that this and this Its a good place for people that can't speak and over 85
Review 10：The breakfast
Review 11：This is a small, family boutique hotel. We came with a rented car, so the location of the place was fine for us. Breakfast in the common dining room was very good, and the place looks very aesthetically pleasing. Bedrooms were simple and small but comfortable. Our host Aviva was pleasant and very helpful for us in recommending a trail in the Ramon crater, and lent us a topographic map. She didn't complain on the first night when we arrived late from the airport, although she needed to get up very early in the morning. I would certainly recommend this place and come by again.
Review 12：Hosts - warm and helpful regarding activities, best places to eat. Coffee - excellent Lattes/Cappacinos Breakfast - wonderful Israeli food, well prepared and presented Location - quirky surrounds in Spice Quarter Rooms - clean, well appointed, comfortable beds & small but well equipped bathroom. Lounge areas and garden settings great for groups to hang out. Parking - easy on site or street Definitely going back.
Review 13：Great location
Review 14：Nothing. Everything was fabulous.
Review 15：The wonderful personal attention of Aviva and Menachim. The jeep,ride into the crater for sunrise was spectacular
Review 16：The breakfast makes iBike awesome - very friendly and helpful owners - lots of character.
Review 17：Great hosts, super place
Review 18：The breakfast was awesome
Review 19：This is an amazing place! Located in the Negev Desert near the awesome Mitzpeh Rimon crater, it is an ideal location for nature lovers, mountain bikers, and tourists.
Review 20：The place is a miracle of refurbishment of old industrial premises. It doesn't look very promising from the outside, but once crossed the threshold, the inner sight is incredible. Some rooms are in the main building and some are accessible from the garden; the latter ones have a small patio on their own with shaded table and chairs. Tea or coffee are always available throughout the day, either as room facility (in the room there is a small kitchenette with fridge and kettle) or in the main lounge. Breakfast is served in the building next door and includes eggs, yogurt, hummus, salads, jams and so on. The owners, Menachem and Aviva, are very friendly hosts and do their best to make one to feel at home. If I went to Mitzpe Ramon again, I would definitively stay at this hotel!
Review 21：Very minor thing: a couple more sqm in the bathroom would have made it more comfy.
Review 22：Nice apt in a loft space with all amenities. Very clean. Truly awesome homemade breakfast. The hosts are lovely and very helpful and enthusiastic about telling you all about the activities in the area.
Review 23：Aviva and Menachem are very nice and perfect hosts. Their tips for desert tours are great and perfect planned. The breakfast is marvelous and all homemade and fresh.The atmosphere of the hotel is family like and pleasant. The facilities are in a perfect state and perfectly clean. The bungalows have two levels and are really big.
Review 24：this place is not a hotel, this is maximum a family pansion. This place would be good for young group of friends , but for max. halfprice.
Review 25：The owners were nice people, and the breakfast was good.
Review 26：The hotel is new, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Very nice reception area with coffee machine and cake. Wonderful breakfast included. The staff was uniformly excellent, and the owners are delightful. They spend time with you and help you determine which are the best activities. They do have bikes and equipment for hire, but are very knowledgeable about all activities in the area. The hotel is kid-friendly, and you don't have to be a biker to have a great time here. They can also take you on a Jeep tour of the crater. Very highly recommended. You will leave there with new friends.

Review 28：The room was basic but clean & so it was only a minor issue
Review 29：Wonderful hospitality to the point that the owner Aviva took us for a guided walk to see the sunrise in the crater & we where picked up & taken back to Ibike for what may be the best breakfast in our 3 weeks in Isreal. Wonderful cherry jam & home made breads
Review 30：Was perfect...every little thing was just right.
Review 31：Very nice, comfortable, extremely friendly and helpful staff, wonderful breakfast....just great. Great for local visits, and if want to bike they have them for rent, but facility not just for bikers as name suggests.
Review 32：Exceptional friendly staff (owner). The outside of the building was alittle outdated, like an old warehouse, but the opinion changed totallyin the inside. The room was individual, original, comfortable and clean.The breakfast was best we ever got in Israel. Best recommendations.
