Mohammad's hospitality is unmatched. I've stayed at several AirBnB's in several different countries and this was by far my best experience. After a long day at the Petra sights he showed us a great place to get a Turkish bath and then treated us to a delicious Bedouin dinner. The apartment is exactly as described. Very clean and comfy and close to the entrance to Petra. As a testament to how great a host Mohammad is, I left behind an item that is of great importance to me and Mohammad located it and shipped it to me and kept in constant contact with me to make sure I received it. Words could never express my appreciation and gratitude to him. Thank you so much for your kindness and a great experience.

Great communication, very helpful. Apartment is in a great, really convenient spot. Very spacious!

La casa es grande y muy cómoda, limpia y los ambientes son grandes. Antes de llegar nos comunicamos por (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) con Mohamad y nos contestaba rapido, nos mandó un taxi desde la frontera hasta la casa. A la noche nos organizó una cena en una cueva, muy buena experiencia (17 J por persona). Al otro día íbamos a Petra y a mis padres que son personas mayores les organizó la visita junto a un amigo alquilando burros. Los puntos negativos son: la casa no tenía wifi y al no tener nada alrededor para hacer, hubiera estado bueno poder usar Internet. Y lo otro es que, si bien esta cerca del visitor center, el camino es un tanto dificultoso porque es de ripio y empinado. No es para cualquiera, de hecho mis padres no lo podían hacer y tuvimos que arreglar para que nos pasara a buscar un taxi.

Nice Apartment in good location. Mohammad was a great host and even picked us up/dropped us off. Strongly recommend to go for the (reasonably priced) dinner in a Nabatean cave he offers!

A beautiful house with a amazing view of Petra valley. Mohammad was really helpful and proactively took care of all the basic needs. You cannot ask for anything better.

Great location to visit Petra. We stayed only one night, but it was amazing. Very easy communication, lovely place. We took a tour with Mohammad's cousin from Petra to Amman (via Kings highway) which was also the best! Can recommend this place highly for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay. Mohammad is a great host. He picked up us to Petra and back, suggested us a very regenerating Turkish bath and gave us the opportunity to have a delicious tipical barbecue with him and his friends. The house is cozy and confortable, much more beautiful than in the pictures. That's the true Airbnb experience! Super!

Mousa is a great host. Extremely friendly and helpful. He could not greet us on our arrival but his nephew was there to make sure we could get into the apartment. He explained everything very clearly to us. Then he left to go stay in the caves, which used to be their primary home. His place is very close to central Petra. He had given us very good directions to get to the apartment so we found it easily. You will love the apartment if you have realistic expectations and enjoy new and unique experiences. If you are looking for a five-star hotel amenities then this is not the place for you. But if you want to taste the Bedouin lifestyle then you have come to the right place. Mousa's sister prepared a wonderful meal for us called 'Mansaf'. It was delicious, authentic and plenty. we did meet Mousa later on and found him to be very friendly and charming. He gave us very good suggestions on getting to Wadi Rum. On your next visit to Petra, try Mousa's apartment. You won't regret it.

Ample space, great for those who are interested in staying off the beaten path.

I stayed with Mousa for a week and had a really wonderful stay. He was really helpful before I arrived, explaining clearly how to get to his house, offering advice and asking if there was anything I needed. Mousa lives with his nephew and they are both extremely hospitable and welcoming - for example, when I arrived, I was greeted with plenty of tea, which was very welcome after the long journey! During my stay, Mousa ensured that I was able to truly experience Bedouin life - arranging for friends to take me walking around Petra, a camping trip in the mountains and staying a night in a cave, traditional Bedouin style. Alongside this, he asked if there was anything in particular I would be interested in experience there and when I told him I would love to learn how to cook as the Bedouin do, he arranged for his brother to teach me how to cook the bread and his nephew and friend were more than happy to show me how to make dishes in the kitchen. As well as making sure I had the best experience and was able to see a lot of life in the area, Mousa made sure I was comfortable, for example, buying me some insect bite cream when I remarked on being bitten. This was a really nice gesture and much appreciated. On a practical note - the house is clean and well-equipped with a private bathroom and shared kitchen. There are also washing facilities for clothes. The house is located in a village for Bedouin families and it is within walking distance from the main Petra tourist sites but, if you prefer to take a taxi, you can do so at a cost of 1-2 JD maximum. You are able to buy food in the village and I would also recommend eating with Mousa, his friends and family for the best food! Breakfast is provided with the booking and this is made fresh every morning at whatever time you would like. I feel very lucky to have stayed with Mousa and I would truly recommend this place to anybody wanting to see Petra or experience Bedouin life!

Пожалуй, это было было лучше любой гостиницы в Вади Муса. Уникальная возможность приобщиться к настоящей жизни бедуинов, посмотреть на них совсем рядом в повседневной жизни, попробовать их кухню! Отличное месторасположение! Обязательно используйте черный вход в Петру - это сильно сократит ваш путь. Но первый раз, безусловно надо пройти через Сик! Огромное спасибо хозяину Муса, за теплый прием, за обалденные вкусные бедуинские ужины, за эклюзивную ночную прогулку по Петре! Ночное восхождение на муле, которую организовал Муса - пожалуй, самое яркое впечатление в моей жизни!

Mousa and his family were incredible hosts! One of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had. I was welcomed into the bedouin community as a brother and not a guest. I was well looked after and would highly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a traditional bedouin experience in a unique bedouin community. Thanks for everything Mousa and Hamzah!!

very nice

The place and the location are fantastic! I recommended very much! It's near to Petra and the host is excellent!

Værelse var som beskrevet. Rent, tæt på centrum. Maden på hotellet er god og matcher priserne på de nærliggende restauranter. Personalet var venligt og hjælpsomt.

Pros - cheap. Paid $48 aud for 2 nights and 2 ppl. There was catparking Cons - no wifi in the room, no hot water for showers, cigarette odour in room, floor not vacuumed, rust on shower floor, not helpful staff when I brought the lack of hot water to their attention, tried to up sell to eating at their restaurant.

Positives-Comfy and clean bed, pillow and blanket. Wifi worked good in lobby. Fridge worked great. Great price. Hot water. Found parking easily. Negatives - carpet appeared dirty. Bathroom functional but not in good condition. Room smelled of smoke. Wifi weak in room. Closet broken. Bring toilet paper.

Good price, nice view! Only the floor in the room was not clean. Breakfast is available, but is charged extra which was not made clear to us. Good breakfast.

it was reallz cool and nice to stay at your place. very unusual the breakfast included, we loved it. i can also say all was like on the pictures and i never saw a soo clean place. neather in hotels here. thats it european standard. bev was always very helpful and we loved the familiar atmosphere. the only thing , which is important for travellers. the bad internet connection. but she offered also her computer so . everzthing was fantastic ask her about cab prices, they love to cheat and rip of tourists

Bev was a wonderful host. She made my friends and I feel at home and was lovely getting to know her. She made us delicious Jordanian breakfast. Her house is equiped with everything you need and has a stunning panoramic view of Wadi Musa! Thanks Bev!

Best stay in Petra! Comfortable and clean! Bev took care of me..oh delicious breakfast yum yum! She also introduced me to a local family. I got more insights of the local culture bcz of this. Bev was one of the most patient and thoughtful ladies in the world - helped me with many of my arrangements. We chatted a lot. She added so much more laughter to my trip!

Comfortable room and big area for live, delicious food and kind landlord. I want said to everyone Welcome to this Lovely Arab family!

The accommodation is fair, but a bit noisy. The food is tasty, but a bit expensive.

It was two special and amazing days to Rizek and Ameera house. I m sure we will never forget this trip in Petra. The place is very close to the site and you can always receive good advises/help from them. They will welcome you as a friend or family. The bedouin atmosphère will stay in our mind for a long time.

Nice and quiet place in the Bedouin village Umm Sayhoun. About 3 kilometers from Wadi Musa/Petra. The apartment is clean and comfortable, and Ameera is a friendly, hospitable host.

If you want to experience the local life this is the perfect place. Ammera and Rizek treated us like family during all the stay. The bedouin dinner was awesome! The place itself is spacious and very clean.

Personne tres tres proffessionnelle , tres acceuillante qui connait parfaitement l'histoire de Petra ainsi que ses lieux les plus cachés. Je suis tres satisfait et recommande son logement

Hesham is quite a dude. After a late start from Amman, I made a last minute instant booking at 1pm in Petra itself, and he was there to pick me up within 10 minutes. In another 10 minutes he had organized a driver to take me and some newfound friends to the Little Petra back entrance to the park - the quickest and easiest (downhill) route to the monastery which otherwise means climbing and then descending a thousand stairs in the round-trip from the main entrance. The room in the hotel was about what you'd expect if you pay $A30 - no hot water, or even a shower head actually, but there was air-conditioning and wifi that both kinda worked, and the location just off the main square was convenient. Hesham has a truly charming way of parting you with all of your available funds, and the experience is worth every last dinar & piaster. Memorable.

It

Hesham is a great organizer and made everything very pleasant at my stay. :-))

Perfectly situated in the center of Wadi Musa, the location couldn't be more central closer to everything. Hesham was very attentive to all details in order to make the guest feel most welcome;the room was cosy and comfortable. Definitely a great choice.

Vale and Ali are amazing. We had an excellent stay with them. The moment we drove past the hotels in Petra, we knew we had made the right decision to stay here instead. They helped us with transportation, as well as some vacation saving tips for our time after Petra. Really amazing people, and this is a great experience my wife and I will be talking about for the rest of our lives. I never thought I would feel at home in a small Bedouin village, but within 5 minutes of arrival we did. Also, the food. Absolutely amazing. If you are lucky, Ali will get some of the bread his neighbor makes in the morning. So good! This is more than a place to stay, it is definitely an experience. You will feel engaged, immersed, welcomed, safe, and attended to. Highly recommended. I can't speak highly enough of Vale and Ali.

I really enjoyed my four days in Petra, thanks to the genuine hospitality of Vale and Ali. They both welcome their guests in to their clean, neat, peaceful home warmly, with smiles, cups of warm sweet tea, delicious breakfasts, authentic dinners (for an additional fee), and suggestions for touring the sights.

Ali and Valeria's place was a perfect base for our trip to Petra. They were incredibly friendly and gave some great advice and help to make the most if our time. The apartment is a little bit far from the Petra main gate to walk (well you could but we decided to save our legs for walking within Petra) so Ali organised a driver to take us there and pick us up each day - 3JD each way... A regular taxi would be about 5JD. A 6am drop off was no problem either. Walking into the main part of town took about 15 minutes. Breakfast was huge and more than big enough. Would definitely recommend staying here :)

Valeria is the most friendly host you could imagine! She really wants you to have an amazing time in Wadi Musa! The room is really cosy and the farm is just beautiful! We had food at the farm once (traditional Mansaf) wich was just great! Super tasty! Thanks for the awesome cooking Valeria!

Ali and Valeria are very heartfelt and warm hosts. We instantly felt at home and although it's been almost a year since we stayed in Wadi Musa, it was a very memorable stay and feels not at all long ago. This is the closest you can get to an authentic Beduin/Petra experience within a couple of days. Ali is an amazing cook and tour guide! Would stay there again - any time I might be back in Petra.

Valeria was incredibly friendly and welcoming and never left us feeling we were an imposition. The house was cool and clean and the breakfast (delicous houmous/tomatoes/cucumbers/flat breads....) set you up for the day. The town itself has more character than Wadi Musa, the more 'typical' town for visiting Petra (and not much father away - we walked it). Would recommend to anyone visiting the area..

Valeria and Ali made our brief stay in Petra unforgettable. They were both very friendly, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. Ali was nice enough to pick us up from the JETT bus stop in Petra. After settling in at their apartment they invited us for tea and we got to know each other. They offered us tips on how to best see Petra and shared a bit of history. At night they cooked dinner, which we shared with a lovely family from Zurich. It was a nice relaxing evening after a tiring journey through Petra. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. They provided us with everything we needed. They also have a terrace with a nice view of the town. On our back to the apartment we stopped by to catch the sunset, which was truly magical. If you are looking for an authentic experience in Petra I highly recommend staying with Valeria and Ali.

Valeria was a great host! Highly Recommended!

Mizuki's listing is pretty much exactly what it is advertised as. It is a three room house in the Bedouin Village near Wadi Musa and Petra. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this isn't what your looking for, if you just want a place to stay that is affordable and close, providing a unique experience then this is a good spot for you. Mizuki was really fast in responding to us, her husband, Emad, was really helpful and accommodating, he even brought us breakfast and gave us tips on seeing things like Little Petra, that we would have missed otherwise.

Simply put….WOW x 10! If you have an inclination for adventure, a desire for a unique accommodation, a love of connection, and a memory of a lifetime…on top of a visit to the UNESCO designated archaeological treasure of Petra, Jordan, then Little Petra Bedouin Camp is a perfect match for you! Sleeping in an ancient Nebatean cave will not only give you a one-of-a-kind experience, but the Bedouin camp atmosphere will surprise you with some unexpected ‘creature comforts’ and delights! The hospitality, accommodations, and Middle Eastern cuisine and atmosphere will have you captivated. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!...and so wonderfully hosted to make me feel like a desert sheik!

I would highly recommend anyone visiting Petra to stay in this cave. Our stay was amazing. The views from the camp are beautiful and little Petra is within walking distance. The cave itself is cozy and comfortable. Yes it is an authentic cave, but it had a light and outlet which was very convenient. There are modern bathrooms with showers located inside the camp. Our hosts were extremely helpful throughout our entire stay and made sure we were comfortable. They were even able to arrange a ride for us whenever we needed a ride to the town of Petra and even arranged a ride to Aqaba for us when we checked out. Ana kept in contact with us the entire time to make sure everything was going smoothly. No amount of words can describe our experience, you have to come see it for yourself.

We cannot recommend the Petra Cave more. My partner and I had a really great 2 nights here. From the second I booked, Ana was in touch with us with information, not only about the camp but advice for other parts for our trip in Jordan and Israel. Leith collected us from town and then we were well looked after at the camp by Showakh and Ahmed. Although it was "low season" and quite cold outside, the caves were warm. We had dinner and tea and played cards by the fire. Breakfast the first day in the cave was great. The second day was even better - Showakh took us for a little bit of rock climbing to get a great view to eat our breakfast. Our only regret was not getting up earlier to watch the sun rise from up there! We have had the most incredible stay in Petra, not just because of the "lost city" but our experience staying in the cave. We feel like we made great friends. Thank you for your hospitality.

My stay at the Little Petra Bedouin Camp was the highlight of my visit to Jordan. Working with Ana and Leith was easy and they both went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable by organizing a day trip to Wadi Rum that I'll be telling my friends and family about for years. The food, tea and coffee was good (if overly plentiful!). I was a single woman traveling alone and I always felt safe and welcome everywhere. I really look forward to visiting again!

베두인 동굴에서 숙박할 수 있는 이색적인 경험! 밤하늘의 수많은 별들이 환상적인 곳!! 너무 춥지 않을까 걱정했는데 혹한기 훈련하는 것 같고 좋았음. 따뜻한 날에 각지에서 온 여행객들이 많이 모여서 파티하는 장면이 연상되는 그런 곳이었음. 강력추천합니다!

This is a perfect stay when you want to experience different Petra. It's much beyond a 2000-year old cave. It's authentic Bedouin life you will find here. Around the camp, there are thousands of lamp among the hill, super romantic. When they are off, the dome with galaxy replaced. Our host is great host, whom was willing to share local life in Petra, take care our transportation. Helpful and warm welcoming. Will come back and highly recommend!!

The visit to this Cave did not go as expected. When we first arrived at the cave, the first impression wasn't very good, we first arrived (me and my girlfriend) to this site that was competely alone with only three man around a fire smoking a shisha. Leith showed us the first cave, which had a table upside down to prevent the sand coming into the cave. The cave was huge and had some cuchons to sit, we then asked where would we sleep and Leith told us that right there. As we couldn't see any blankets or pillows, we expressed our concern about the cold and the fact that there wasn't a door. We asked if it would be possible to maybe change the cave for a warmer one. Leith showed us the other cave and even though it seemed lovely, we still couldn't shake the feeling that we were alone in the site and we couldn't see any other travelers around. We asked if we were alone in the site and Leith sayed that there was a group (that we never saw) in the other side of the mountain. We expressed our concern, since we were supposed to stay in the site with two man who didn't speak any english. I've stayed in camps before and it just felt funny. I understand and honestly believe they are good people, but for two women that get there is a funny first impression and I just rather be honest. I've done a lot of travelling around and one thing I do trust are my instincts. Again, I am sure this people were good people, and I don't have anything against them, but if I don't feel safe at the very start somewhere, I am just not going to stay there. We expressed this to Leith and asked him about the fee cancellation, he kept repeating that it would be Ok, that it would be no problem. He also said that all he wanted was us spending a lovely night and he suggested to have diner. So we did and it was the best diner, honestly, that food was amazing and I have no object with that. When we finish diner, we told him that it had been a long day and we would just rather sleep very well and be honest with him that spending a rough night. He arranged a hotel and we asked again about the cancellation fee, he again repeated that it would be, no problem, his exact words. By the way, he does speak a very fluent english. We went to a cheap and very decent hotel, where we payed 60JD and we even gave him 15JD tip because we felt so thankful for all the help. We asked again about the cancellation fee and he told us that it wouldn't be a problem. The night after this, we realized that the hotel where we stayed, the rates weren't any higher than 43JD. This is really...

The cave es una experiencia única que yo recomiendo a cualquier persona. Si quieres estar en un campamento beduino auténtico y disfrutar de una experiencia única, este es tu sitio. Además, la calidad humana de Ana (en comunicación constante) y ¡ de Leith en el terreno mismo es otro de los atractivos de la experiencia porque se preocupa de todos los detalles y de que tu estancia sea inolvidable. La cena que disfrutamos allí, en plena noche, mi pareja y yo solos, iluminados por decenas de bombillas tal y como sale en las fotos será recordada por nosotros toda la vida. Hay que tener en cuenta que se trata de un campamento real y por tanto no debemos esperar encontrar toallas o servicios o ducha dentro de la habitación, sino que hay que que salir al exterior de la cueva para poder orinar o ducharse. Tampoco hemos visto ni una sola mujer en el campamento y eran hombres quienes realizan las labores de limpieza de los servicios comunitarios. Se trata por tanto de una experiencia única, inolvidable y que repetiría sin duda alguna.

If you want to experience the genuine life and culture of a Bedouin village, this place is the right one. Room was clean and had a private bathroom. Fatima made for me a delicious dinner (extra cost) and she helped to get a local Bedouin guide for my visit to Petra. Fatima was a very friendly and smiling host. I highly recommend a stay in her house. Further, I will recommend including enough time for Petra. One day is for sure short, try to get 2-3 days if possible.

La estancia en casa de Fátima ha sido una de las mejores experiencias de nuestro viaje por Jordania. El haber convivido durante un día con ella y su familia ha sido muy agradable y divertido. Son unas fantásticas cocineras y anfotrionas. Recomendable 100%

Our stay was wonderful as we enjoy seeing the culture. The room was small but had all that we needed. Breakfasts delicious and included. We stayed 2 nights so paid extra for dinners which were generous and delicious. We ventured into the village and all the people were so friendly. If you enjoy a different experience than a hotel this is it!

La stanza di Fatima è essenziale e molto carina, lei è molto disponibile alle esigenze degli ospiti , ci ha preparato sempre buone colazioni ed un ottima cena di cibo locale ===== Cosa molto importante ... Fatima è stata flessibile nelle nostre prenotazioni e questo ci ha permesso di avere più autonomia nel nostro giro in Giordania Raccomando Fatima la sua casa e il suo cibo

I spent one night here and the next time I come to Petra I will stay here again. Fatima was a fantastic host and could not have done more for us. She showed us Little Petra, made breakfast for us and introduced us to her lovely family, who we had lunch with. The house is located in the Bedouin Village in Petra (5 mins from the visitors centre by car). It's perfect for those looking for an authentic, non-touristy experience surrounded by local Bedouin people. I could not fault anything! Great hospitality, great food, great stay!

Although the house is not where shown on the airbnb-map, we had a great stay here. Fatimas house is in the middle of the Bedouine Village Uum Sayhoun which is just a few minutes drive from the Petra visitor center. It's a very nice appartment with own bathroom and own entrance. For breakfast and dinner (optional but highly recommended) we were invited into Fatimas living room where we always met other family members and friends of the family. Fatima is very well organized, she had a lot information for us and told us many things about bedouine live how it is now and how it was in Petra. We can only tell the best about this place and would definitely stay there again! Heiko & Conny

Atallah communicated well before the trip. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet him due to unexpected business so we stayed in his house by ourselves. The house is typical of the area although bigger, felt like you were getting an authentic bedouin experience especially since we paid for his sister to cook traditional meals the 2 nights we were there. His sister, Fatima, was a great cook and very hospitable even after we got lost on the way there and turned up an hour later than agreed.

Atallah was extremely helpful in coordinating our arrival. He is an excellent host. The accomodation is modest but the view is exceptional. This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Petra.

I had a wonderful stay in Petra. I didn't meet Atallah but a family member received me when I arrived late and took me to his brother's house where I met his wider family. They were lovely hosts - they didn't want me to alone in Atallah's house so they hosted me instead, it was a really good experience meeting different family members and talking about so many things. Very hospitable - his brother even accompanied for the morning around some sights of Petra. I even took some of the ladies down with me to Wadi Rum. I really enjoyed the experience. The bed was comfy, but the water was a little tepid but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Depending on the time of year you go make sure you wrap up warm! I would highly recommend this experience.

Its more than a place to stay. Booking with atallah offered me much more than that. He made sure that I would have the most authentic Bedouin experience. From helping me in the itinerary, buying a well fit dish-dash, and showing me places that are not commonly visited by tourist but is more amazing to having an authentic bedouin dinner at his villa at no extra charge. You wont feel any commercialism in his place. I honestly recommend everyone to stay at his place and receive what he has to offer over and above what is expected.

My wife and I had a wonderful night at Atallah's Villa. The view from the terrace is amazing. We also had a very nice dinner and breakfast made by Fatimah, Atallah's very gracious and welcoming sister. Our travel arrangements from Amman were made very professionally and smoothly by Rahal. We spent the evening and then went to Petra for one day of hiking around Petra. Our memories will last forever. Thank you Atallah and Fatimah!

Atallah was a very gracious and helpful host. He coordinate a 1am pickup from the airport in Amman, had a guide for me at Petra and even though he was away during my stay, called to check up on me and made sure I got back to Amman. With nephew Ahmed made dinner each night which was wonderful and arrange everything I needed locally. Like others have said ... The house was extremely cold, but nothing a couple blankets couldn't handle.

Atallah was an incredible host. We arrived at his house in the Bedouin village overlooking Petra and were immediately treated like family. His nephew, Ahmed, toured us around the ruins and took us on gorgeous hikes away from the crowds. After our stay in Petra, Atallah arranged a ride for us to the spectacular Wadi Rum desert, where we stayed in a Bedouin camp and one of his friends showed us around on a jeep. Then he arranged a ride to Aqqaba for us, met us in Aqqaba, showed us around the town all day, and then found us a great place to stay by the beach on the South Coast of Aqqaba. Atallah is a very kind man and a perfect host in Jordan. I highly recommend staying with him in Petra!

Because my trip was last minute, details had to be taken care of in a rushed manner. Atallah actually called me when emailing was not quick enough, and assured me of the airport pick up at 3 am, checking in early, etc. I arrived in Petra with Rahal meeting the cab to go to the beautiful and clean villa, and there Ahmaed made delicious coffee and breakfast as we watched the sunrise on the balcony over Petra. My room was on the second floor with a huge bathroom and view of Petra. The nights were cold but the blankets were very warm and comfortable. I felt very safe staying in the villa as a solo female traveler. Ahmaed is professional and respectful, and is serious about what he does and how he carries himself. He was recovering from a cold and seemed a little preoccupied at times, but his experience and thoughtfulness are evident from the way he arranged the different details of the tours (at very reasonable prices) from day to day, making things manageable (I was a little out of shape), a little challenging but not overwhelming. He just seems to know what (level, amount of walking and climbing) would work best for me that day. Ahmaed also took me to meet his cave dwelling friends in Petra. It was amazing to see people living inside Petra, and how they were doing their own excavation work! And because the villa overlooks Petra, we could see Petra "come to live" as the sun sets and some of the caves begin to glow with fire (dinner and tea time). Ahmaed and Atallah also arranged for home cooked dinner, focusing on my interest in learning about food, and I had a great time watching and learning from a female relative of theirs, who came over to cook (delicious!) dinner each night, showing me how things are done. No language was necessary, but (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate helped in terms of ingredients. On the last day Ahmaed took me to a cave un Little Petra and we had an outdoor meal with tea while waiting for the sunset (too cloudy, alas). Again, felt completely safe and comfortable, and knew I was in good hands with nothing to worry about. Atallah was away on a tour but checked in on me to make sure things were going well. Very thoughtful. The only inconvenience of the stay was the wifi. It worked but no one knew the password. While I was able to go to their relative's place to use their wifi (and met some nice people), it would have been more convenient to have internet access at the villa, so I could use early morning and late nights to email family. I slept well, ate well, and exercised well (Petra can be quite a work out) during the stay.! :)

I couldn't have asked for a more memorable stay at Wadi Musa than at Jolanda's beautiful place. Her villa is situated on top of a hill, from where you can view the most magnificent sunsets overlooking the mountains surrounding Petra. Moreover, her place is a mere 10minutes walk to the Visitor's Centre. My stay was made even more special thanks to Jolanda herself, who is not only friendly but also possesses a wealth of local knowledge. She communicated with me well before my arrival and even helped me book a taxi to travel around Jordan! I stayed in the family room with the back terrace. The rooms are definitely bigger than what's shown in the pics. I spent most of my mornings and evenings at the back terrace, admiring the stillness of the day (which is much needed after a hard day's hike in the heat in Petra). If you do decide to stay at Jolanda's (I think you'd be crazy not to), you're in for a scrumptious treat during breakfast and many delightful conversations. Thank you Jolanda for making my trip to Petra an unforgettable experience!

I had a great stay at Jolanda's place. The room is really big and although it was really cold she provided a little heater and warm water bottles. It's located in a quiet area on the hill but still close to the entrance to Petra. Also breakfast and dinner were tasty, although a little expensive (dinner was 15 JOD). Jolanda also provided me with tips for my journey and was very welcoming. Thanks!

It was really genuine Airbnb experience ,especially to me as one of frequent airbnb users! She had kept us in touch even before we arrived. She welcomed at our arrival and also saw us out on our departure. It could show how she's sincerely cares about her guests. She offered local tea for us after a 4-hour tiring driving. Breakfast was really likable with a simple but her own recipes. The room was so clean,of course, you would love the breeze and sunshine coming though the window and a little garden spot to spot really feels cozy and comfortable. It would be hugely long to describe how good it is. Fadi helped us to show around Petra with a cleverly easy way. I'd like to say thank you from my heart to take us a safe and unusual experience. I simply say "If you had a plan to visit to Petra and you rent a car? Don't hesitate to book here. I guarantee you would love it." I can't say anymore than this. :) Hopefully she always meets wonderful and respectful guests cuz I want to go there again!

Jolanda has been a wonderful host, and really helped us to make the most out of our visit to Petra. She organized a pick up to and for the bus station, gave good advise on where to visit, and she cooked a lovely 3-entry vegetarian dinner, something really needed after spending the whole day trekking under the sun. The family room is more spacious than it looks in the pictures, with a super fresh veranda and a stunning view. There is no AC, but the two big windows (with mosquito nets) make the room very cool all day and night. The two cats are well behaved (though I'm a cat person) and won't disturb at night if the door of the room is closed. The bathroom is simple and very clean, hot water takes a little to come (use the bucket not to waste the running water, Jordan is a water stressed country) and pressure is good. Overall, Jolanda went the extra mile to make our stay the most enjoyable, providing a professional host service with a homely feeling and nice atmosphere.

My stay in Jolanda's home was fantastic ! Yolanda made her best to make my stay confortable ! And it was also ! We had good diner together (she is a pretty good cooker) and she gave me many advices for visiting Petra ! Moreover the house is awesome and the view of the Petra site should be one of the best of Wadi Musa ! Great time spending with Jolanda ! I really recommend her !
