Hello

I m a french men and i book a house in Rothschild from booking.com 2 in tel aviv.
When i arrive at the appartement with my wife and 2 children, the owner tell us that he remove the reservation from booking.com and we don t find any flat in tel aviv.
Be lucky we don t receive any compensation and we have to find by ourself an accomodation without booking Help.

that Israelis have dug their own grave when it comes to hoteliers who have had enough of the boorish behavior of altogether too many Israelis, especially those of the cheap package tour variety.

It starts on their outgoing flight, with scenes that would make any decent person cringe and then it continues with the mobbing of the hotel lobby staff, the demands, the yelling and pushing. From there the vandalizing and plundering of the rooms, and worst of all, the dining rooms: pigs are refined in comparison. I have NEVER seen any other group hog their way through food in the same way.

They drive tour bus operators to drink, continually arriving late and behaving badly at stop-offs. Thereafter they argue aggressively over billing - and over deposits lost quite simply because they have, indeed, inflicted damage or revolting mess in the rooms and when they've finally left the hoteliers in peace, they then cry foul when their booking is refused the next time.

Although the Chinese have now earned first place in the bad tourist books, Israelis are never far behind.

It is embarrassing that Israelis have refused to accept that when they go out into the big wide world, they go as ambassadors for their country. Either they learn to behave as is expected in other peoples' countries, or expect to be rejected as too unpleasant to deserve the host country's hospitality.

That this particular German hotelier displays very bad attitude in how she handles rejections is also reprehensible, but if you run through some of the comments of guests who've been exposed to Israeli tourists in otherwise perfectly respectable hotels, you will see that not all objectors to Israeli bad manners, arrogance and aggression is anti Semitic.

When it comes to Israeli Tourists....many act like Barbarians and give a bad name to all of us! There are many countries that don't appreciate the lack of couth and derech eretz displayed by Israelis.
There ought to be a book on acceptable behavior for Israelis detailing things not to do or say...country by country.
