Where to Stay in Palestine
A regional guide to accommodation across the country
Palestine hands travelers three clear accommodation tiers. The West Bank revolves around Ramallah, Bethlehem and Jericho, where renovated Ottoman townhouses share blocks with glass business hotels, and quiet church-run guesthouses open onto courtyards perfumed with jasmine and cardamom coffee. Gaza's Mediterranean strip leans on modest beachfront family hotels, one lone sea-view high-rise, and NGO compounds converted for visitors whenever permits allow. Prices across Palestine sit lower than Amman or Tel Aviv. A spotless double in Ramallah lands in the mid-range bracket, while Jericho's resort pools nudge toward splurge territory. Budget travelers crash in monastery dorms or family homestays where breakfast lands heavy with olive oil, wild thyme, and warm taboon bread.

The de-facto capital buzzes with rooftop bars, art galleries and the tightest hotel cluster in Palestine. Glass towers look down on stone alleys where the call-to-prayer bounces off espresso machines.

Jericho & Jordan Valley
Mid-range to luxury
Palm-fringed Jericho posts the lowest rooms on earth, tucked among banana groves and date farms. Sunsets over the Dead Sea paint the air rose-gold while grilled tilapia drifts from riverside cafés.
Accommodation: Resort hotels with pools, casino hotels, and a handful of eco-lodges near the oasis
Gateway Cities
Jericho
Ariha
Hebron Hills
Budget to mid-range
Stone villages cap terraced hills where the air smells of sage and sun-warmed figs. Overnight choices stretch from old-city caravanserais to family vineyards pouring tastings under the stars.
Accommodation: Simple guesthouses in the old city, agritourism vineyards, and one restored Ottoman khan
Gateway Cities
Nablus & Northern West Bank
Budget to mid-range
Cardamom, soap and fresh knafeh drift through narrow markets. Ottoman soap-factory hotels and mountaintop guesthouses look over olive groves that roll to the horizon.
Accommodation: Boutique soap-factory hotels, city guesthouses, and hilltop lodges near Sebastia
Gaza Strip
Budget to mid-range
Mediterranean waves slam beside a single high-rise hotel and family-run seaside pensions. Fishermen mend nets at dawn while the air carries salt, diesel, and the sweet smoke of roadside corn grills.
Accommodation: Small beachfront hotels, NGO guesthouses, and one sea-view high-rise where permits allow

Country-specific advice for finding the best accommodation
West Bank books easily, Gaza needs permits
Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho and Nablus accept online reservations and walk-ins. Gaza requires Israeli or Egyptian permits. Coordinate accommodation through your permit sponsor or NGO host.
Search hotels →Cash is king outside Ramallah
Smaller guesthouses in Hebron, Nablus and Jericho prefer shekels or Jordanian dinar. ATMs exist in every city but rural homestays need cash on arrival.
Search hotels →Book directly for local experiences
Many family-run guesthouses and agritourism projects in Hebron, Nablus, and the Jordan Valley aren't on major booking platforms. Contact them directly via phone or social media for the best rates and personalized service.
Search hotels →When to Book
Timing matters for both price and availability across Palestine
High Season
Between March and May, and again from October through November, Bethlehem and Jericho hotels sell out fast, lock in your room 4-6 weeks ahead. Ramallah, meanwhile, keeps a steady flow of guests all year.
Shoulder Season
June and September give you warm Palestine days, rates 20% lower than peak, and rooms you can book without a scramble.
For most of Palestine, two weeks ahead is plenty. Christmas week in Bethlehem and Easter in the Jerusalem corridor demand 2-3 months of advance planning.
Good to Know
Local customs and practical information for Palestine
Check-in / Check-out
Standard check-in is 14:00, check-out 12:00. Family guesthouses will stash your bags early and usually greet you with mint tea while they finish readying the room.
Tipping
Round up cab fares and leave ₪5-10 per night for housekeeping. Monasteries and homestays refuse tips but smile at small gifts like foreign sweets.
Payment
Safety
Palestinian hospitality is famous. Ordinary city sense is enough. Hotel staff will brief you on checkpoint lines and map out safe walking routes to dinner.
