Go here, you won’t be disappointed. This really was our best stay in the whole of Oman. The authenticity of the accomodation is astounding but still it’s comfortable. The food is delicious. Host Amina is very friendly en helped us with advice on our daytrips.

Cozy rooms with a lot of space. Super nice dinner but I especially liked the breakfast.

An absolute gem of a property in a beautiful village in an area which is just so unlike the rest of the Gulf. Emina has created something unique and truly special that we felt privileged to have experienced. Both dinner and breakfast were not only authentic and delicious, but also included in the price. And the communal nature of both (plus coffee/tea on the roof terrace post dinner) was great as you can share tips on what to see and do in the area. The room and bathroom were spotless. The beds were very comfortable. You are staying in an old mud house, but you also have AC if needed… cannot speak highly enough, and will definitely be back.

What did I like? Well; where do I start.... the location is perfect, in the middle of the palms plantation. the guesthouse has been restored meticulously are represent 100% the traditional Omani family home. Breakfast was TOP and the amazing dinner was shared with host whom answered the multiple questions we had. The second night we had a lovely chat on the terrace and for me this was the highlight of my time in Oman. I left Al Hamra with a bit of sadness, but made my mind up that I will be back to visit Emina and her fantastic friends in the next few years. 10 on all accounts

We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Wonderful feeling of hospitality and a bonus to be greeted by 3 lively dogs. The host was very friendly and accommodating and answered all our questions for the trip to Jabal al Akhdar the next day. Al Hamra village is not to be missed. A very nice museum nearby is not to be missed, exceptional staff showed us around an old house and life in former times. All in all a wonderful time in Al Hamra and Bait Al Aali

Authentic place hotel and surroundings, staying there you can feel the history, more of that it's a good location to travel to Jabal Shams and nearby surroundings. The host was friendly and helpful, breakfast and dinner was good and delicious. The host owner is a woman from Germany and You can really feel how everything is kept in good hands. And we loved the dogs ! best wishes for Bella, Pancito, Mindi 😀

The guest house in the middle of the village and the feeling to be at home was great. Emina made everything to make our stay unforgetable and unique. The house is really beautiful and the quietness is precious. I really liked our room, the food was delicious.

Incredible building in a gohst village. Everything in the house and round it is worth a photograph. Furnished in harmony with the local style and with love for details. Amazing terrace. Interesting owner who provided us with a lot of information.

This is not just some accommodation, this is home. Emina made us feel very welcomed at her house and along with the unique architecture, the surroundings and also other lovely guests, this was an experience we will never forget. Wish we had more time to spend here. We spent one night on our way from Muscat to Jebel Shams. The rooms are simple but clean, the bathroom was well equipped. Incredible views waited for us on the rooftop along with pet dogs making us company. I have to admit the breakfast was rather smaller/simpler but everybody has different taste, so it’s hard to please all. Hoping to come sometime again!

We stayed one night at the Bait Al Aali Guesthouse, it’s a wonderful and stylish building and interior. The dinner and breakfast were very tasty, free parking is nearby and the owner is very hospitable and friendly (and amazing pictures on the wall from her own collection). Special place to spend some time in this old sheik’s home in between ruins of the old village, palm trees and enjoy the lovely roodtop terrace with 3 lovely house dogs (Mindy, Bella and Panchito) roaming around.
