Experience not recommended
There's no air conditioning, no waterfalls, no internet. Very hot, very hot. Warm desert winds blowing. It doesn't help.
We were warned that there was no air conditioning and last incinerator and there was a 7-minute walk. Well we got to the pool and there was a dead rooster.

Unique experience
We stayed here a night in the middle of our holiday. 2 Adults + 2 Kids. Compared to the madness of the big hotels in Eilat this was an oasis of calm.
In the middle of the desert they have a small farm, a few "Succah" with some basic facilities, and a pool. The pool was a surprise, but a very welcome one after a day in the car and the unrelenting heat of Israel.
The Succah themselves (or ours at least) are wooden huts covered in the traditional palm leaves. There was electricity, basic water and a dry toilet in ours. Showsers are communal near the pool. You can make tea in your room on a small burner, though they could do with adding a trivet to make things more stable. With the windows open and the breeze flowing it was nice and cool. In fact in the morning we woke up cold, and basically inside a cloud. I've been coming to Israel for 20 years and this was a novel experience! If you are fussed about the cold there is a gas heater and blankets, but we just enjoyed it :) .
Watching the sunset in the desert was great, at night there is a great view of the sky and the stars. Buy a bottle of wine, sit on your veranda with the lights off, let your eyes adjust and just look up. You can see so many stars and even the milky way. We took some photos but they don't do it justice.
The staff on site were friendly, spoke great English and had great stories. They cooked us a nice vegetarian dinner. Even the kids enjoyed it. A selection of local wines were available.
Our kids complained that there was no wifi. We enjoyed that there was no wifi. If you are desperate then there is some mobile coverage near the reception building, otherwise unplug and enjoy the surroundings.
Lots of animals on site, some huge friendly dogs said hello, and at least one cat roam around, plus there were some farm animals.
From talking to the owner's son and comparing the site as we found it to older photos on reviews they have expanded the facilities a little, there is a new Dining Yurt + kitchen. The impossible (a swimming pool in a desert? pool has been refurbed. I wish them the best and would be pleased to come back.
This is not a polished mass market luxury hotel. This is a unique desert experience, providing just what you need.

Way overpriced for what you get
The place is nice but certrainly not worth the cost. The hut was very simple - very nice and clean and with very good heating which is important in the cold desert night.
We did not want to have dinner because it was another high extra cost. Breakfast was included but was very dull and disappointing. Toilets were about 300 m from the hut which made it almost impossible to use at night - no lighting at all and freezing cold outside. Seems like everything you discuss at first with them is not remembered - we were promised a big hut and did not get it and were told at the spot that nothing is guaranteed. We invited a guide for a stars view and told them ahead of that and even asked if it would ok to do it from the venue and were answered that it is great to do it from there. But when the guide came, the owner came out telling us it's a pity they were not notified ahead that this was the plan. At the end of the day - the place is nice, and possibly a lot of fun in spring and summer, if you want complete isolation. But certainly not for the cost - 1260 NIS for a family with 3 kids...

The best idea when you want to be separated :)
Couple of cottages located cca 20 kms from Egyptian borders and cca 10 kms from Mitzpe Ramon city in the desert. Cottages are furnitured very simple, clean. You have drinking water in each and gas kettle if you want to make a coffee or tea. You have electricity in the cottage and no mobile phone connection. :) Each cottage is at least 300mts from each other. In the centre is a toilette, bathroom, shower and a pool. There is a restaurant, where is breakfast and dinner served. You can order dinner by check in. Dinner and breakfast are really very tasty, vegetarian made from fresh local food.
I liked the stay there a LOT!!!
It is absolut relax :)
