Cleanliness
8.6
Generally reported as clean and well maintained across multiple reviews, though isolated issues occurred (ants in one room and residual ant-killer smell) which lower the score slightly.
Service
8.6
Staff and management repeatedly praised as attentive and world-class (specific praise for a manager named Alona); some operational lapses noted (e.g., delayed opening of beach access, slow alternatives for A/C failures).
Location
9.1
Consistently highlighted as excellent — direct access to a private beach, quiet setting and unbeatable location for Dead Sea visits.
Room Quality
7.3
Mixed reports: some rooms described as beautiful, spacious and comfortable, while others were outdated (parquet coming off), had ant problems, or experienced A/C failures — indicates uneven room quality and need for renovation.
Amenities
8.6
Spa, pool areas and private-pool rooms are frequently praised (excellent massages, ideal for relaxation). Some beach facilities (single working shower) and minor operational issues reduce perfection.
Value for Money
8.4
Not frequently quantified in reviews; overall impression is mixed — high-quality facilities and service but dated rooms and variable dinner quality may temper perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast is often described as sumptuous and varied; dinner quality is mixed with some reviewers calling it mediocre and seating crowded/noisy, while others praise excellent buffets.
Overall Experience
8.3
Many reviewers describe a wonderful 5-star stay with attentive staff and excellent amenities, though several mention mediocre or disappointing stays due to room condition, A/C or dining issues — overall positive but not flawless.

A flawless 5-star stay!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, the service was world-class—the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and taken care of.
The location is unbeatable, offering direct access to a clean, quiet private beach without having to cross any streets. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable, with stunning, serene views. Another major highlight was the food—the breakfast and dinner buffets were absolutely delicious with an amazing variety of fresh options. The spa facilities and pool area are perfect for relaxing. Highly recommended!

A mediocre experience at the Herods Dead Sea.
Pros:

The building and facilities are old and need urgent rennovation. We stayed in a Premium room at the Premium floor. The A/C didn't work properly while outside temp. reached 102.2°F (39°C ) and alternaives offered were not better. We have stayed there many times throughout the years and it has't been modernized yet. In addition, the exit to the beach early am was closed and we had to wait 30 min. until somebody came to open it. Only a single working shower at the beach where you need to wash the burning salty water off your body rather quickly.
While breakfast is still sumptuous and acceptable, dinner has a lot to improve. It used to be quite satisfactory in the past with at least few dishes for the more discerning guests. It became quite mediocre and requires improvement.
Seating is rather crowded and noisy.

very disappointing
Pros:

The room we received was very outdated, with parquet coming off the floor and a view over the air conditioning system of the building. From a seated position you could barely see out of the window. We found an unending supply of ants in the room: they did come quite quickly to take care of it, but the room was left with a strong smell of ants killer spray that hurt the eyes. The food was plentiful but average. The only positive experience was the spa, with excellent massages, and the access to the beach. My advice would be: sleep somewhere else, and if you can spend the day there to enjoy the facilities.

Disappointing Return Stay at Herods Dead Sea
Pros:

I stayed at Herods Dead Sea in 2019 and I really liked it. It is right on the beach. The food was excellent. The rooms were very clean and the pool area was very nice.

I visited again in February and I was very shocked. The pool area needs maintenance. The chairs and sun beds look very old and not clean. The metal parts are rusty.

The food was very disappointing. The tables in the dining room were sticky. The food was not well cooked. The meat had no flavor.

The rooms also need renovation. The corridor carpet looks old and dirty. The bed covers and curtains are dirty and have holes.

The lobby still looks good. I give this hotel three stars. It does not deserve more. The pool is bad the food is bad and the rooms need full renovation. If they want to be a four star hotel they must improve.

DONT EVER GI TI THIS HOTEL!
Pros:

DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!
The worst service ever. Not client facing at all. Treated the families if 2 soldiers, who did over 400 !!! Says reserve duty each !!! With the worst way, and it resulted of us camcelkong all 3 rooms and going back home. Especially worst was the CEO Reuma Lugaxu and the reception manager Nina Ohana. Because if the 2 I would recommend to attend this hotel ever!
Went to Herber Samuel which was amazing.

Love it
Pros:

Every time I visit, it just feels like coming home. The service here is next level – from the housekeeping team keeping everything totally spotless, to the amazing girls at reception: Yulia, Hadar, and Natalia. They always welcome me with the biggest smiles and so much warmth. A massive shoutout to Alona, the evening manager. Her personal touch and how much she genuinely cares is so rare and really makes the whole trip. Thanks for a stay with real soul, can't wait for next time!

Wonderful stay
Pros:

Just returned from a 3-night stay at herods and couldn't be happier. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, particularly Sarah at the front desk who upgraded our room. Our room was spacious, spotless, and had a lovely view of the city. The location is perfect, within walking distance to all major attractions and great restaurants. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, offering both local and international options. A true sample of excellent hospitality—we will definitely be back
