Description
Join our big family of helpers and local staff in creating and running this hostel.

We are a new tourists & backpackers hostel. Created on the run from day one, but still much to do.

Located in the town center just 100 meters from the water line of the Sea of Galilee and a short ride away from many nature attractions and beaches. Tiberias saw much better days but its still a perfect hub to explore the north of Israel, Galilee, Golan Heights, Jordan valley and the lake. And we have come to provide a good home base for travelers.

Its been more than 3 years since we took the place and have been renovating and designing on the run, there is still plenty to do.

We have been working day and night to turn it into a comfortable base for guests to head out and explore the area of the Sea of Galilee. we collect information for our guests and staff to explore nature and its activities and communities, and we provide detailed information on sites.

You are welcome to join this project and growing family, take part in daily chores of cleaning and help with making breakfast, Bar shifts, and cooking

the volunteer staff composes of 3-7 people on top of 3-5 regular staff members.
- we currently need :
*️️️️️️️ maintenance that knows how to clean and generally keep the place awesome
*️️️️️️️ entertainment- night swim, beer pong, social games, etc, showing the guests a good time.
We will be happy to have you and your skill to bring back life to this hostel, renovate, invent, and explore what the beautiful nature around has to offer tourists.

Hope to see you here with us!
