I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully adapted from an old stone village and had their own small private verandah, making them feel quite special. However, the service was just average for the price I paid, and I found the dining options weren't the best. The location was peaceful with lovely views, but it was a bit far from Petra, which was a downside for me.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, which is set in a beautifully adapted old stone village. The room was huge and full of character, especially with the courtyard outside. The breakfast was nice, though the dining could be a little pricey compared to the overall room rate. The service was very helpful, making my stay enjoyable, but I did feel it lacked a bit of warmth compared to other places I’ve stayed in Jordan. Overall, I found it to be great value for the setting and experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some great aspects, like a nice community vibe, there were a few downsides too.

Service was friendly but a bit chaotic with the booking process. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in some areas.
