Reviews

  Breakfast was tasty, plenty with a large selection of accompanying spreads. The room was specious, beautiful, quiet, full of character.
  
  What could be improved: Changes in breakfast accomp. spreads. More maintenance in the courtyard.

  Great staff in a great location in Baka area, a beautiful tony section of Jerusalem. The hotel is fun with great guests, many foreign visitors here to meet friends and family; lots of family events on the weekend. OK, the rooms are a bit small, but this is an old historic building, so what more would you expect. The breakfast was fine…sufficient variety not to become boring. The outdoor patio adjacent to the street is fun to sit at..no bar or food served there but bring your own from any of the restaurants and shops nearby and enjoy the evening breeze. It's about 2 miles from the old town on the Bethlem road and not too far from one of Jerusalem's major malls. Plenty to do. Also….and maybe I shouldn't let the cat out of the bag, but free parking across the road for those with a car.
  
  What could be improved: I would have loved a bigger room but you can't always get what you want.

• Marc from Canada – 28 August 2024 (8/10)

  Host was very attentive and accommodating for requests such as extra towels etc., breakfast preparation etc.
  
  What could be improved: While there is a small room safe, it is not fastened to anything so anyone can just carry it away easily. As a result, it was not used which would have been nice to do.

• Aimee from Canada – 5 April 2025 (8/10)

  This is our favorite place to stay in Jerusalem. It’s funky and cozy and comfortable in the breakfast is delicious. This is our second time staying here and we will always book here whenever we are in Jerusalem.

• Alinetlv from Israel – 6 September 2024 (8/10)

  We spent one night in Baka as we were visiting friends in the area. The hotel is a cute bauhaus building with tall walls and a limited number of rooms. There is also a wonderful large patio for all guests where breakfast is served and we spent time there relaxing. Very nice to wake up to breakfast and coffee. The room has all the basics and a nice bathroom. Adi and her husband are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return!

• Shikki from Argentina – 18 July 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: All was perfect

• Aimee from Canada – 30 May 2024 (8/10)

  We LOVED our stay at Baka Bauhaus. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast – omelette, cappuccino, fresh bread, multiple spreads and my highlight – fresh chopped salad – was the perfect way to start our day. The location is one of my favourite in Jerusalem, cafes and shopping down the street, steps from the 'greenway', steps from Emek Rafaim and walkable to the kotel and downtown. It's not for everyone – if you prefer 5 star hotels with generic conveniences then stay at one of them in downtown Jerusalem. However, if you like personality and wonder, clean but 'funky', then this place is for you.
  
  What could be improved: Not a lot of dishes in the kitchenette, but in fairness, we could have asked the staff and I'm sure they would have provided us with more.

• Shilo from Israel – 19 October 2024 (6/10)

  The location and the price were good
  
  What could be improved: The place requires some renovation and repair. In order to turn the water heater on you have to contact the owner. A neighbor kept playing the piano.

• Daniella from United Kingdom – 1 July 2024 (2/10)

  What could be improved: Mosquitoes and bugs and not clean

• Olivier from United States – 5 May 2025 (6/10)

  The location was ideal for me. Just a 5 min walk to my friends’ home. Breakfast was wonderful in a little shaded patio under the trees. The staff was lovely and eager to make my stay pleasant.
  
  What could be improved: I didn’t mind too much but if cleanliness is a must for you I wouldn’t recommend this location. Bed sheets were too small and didn’t fit the mattress. The only thing they did in my two week stay is changed the sheets and towels twice and resupplies toilet paper. The water boiler was falling apart which added plastic particles to my tea. Also the tub/shower is very high and requires a steep climbing over to get in and out.
