    This hotel would be ranked #1 in Jordan if they would have a bar or sell beers and wine. This is the only thing that this wonderful place is missing

    Everything: the location is amazing, the rooms are fantastic, the food is gorgeous, the staff is brilliant, outdoor and heated indoor pools are perfect, the outdoor jacuzzi is the cherry on the cake

    Fantastic hotel with lots of character, set in the hills near Petra. Staff were incredibly friendly and really made us feel welcome. Thank you to the male and female members of the spa for our foot massages (needed after hiking!) Mohammed for showing us around and Saber for great hosting in the restaurant. Great food, lovely rooms and grounds with pool and outside jacuzzi.

    The bathrooms showers were very difficult to adjust for warm water (in particular they took forever to heat the water and weren’t very responsive to adjustment). This did not adversely affect our stay at all. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Also, the food in the hotel (we dined in all three places) was totally fine, but Jordan is a country with truly phenomenal food, and all things considered the food on property wasn’t that great. Again, we still had a wonderful time.

    What a charming property - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I visited for a night with my parents and my three children (11, 8, and 6). Service was amazing and attentive. My parents enjoyed a massage at the spa, while the kids and I visited the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The outdoor pool was beautiful but it was too cold during our visit to brave it. The indoor swimming pool is one of the nicest hotel pools I’ve ever been it, and it was so wonderfully warm, which was a pleasant surprise on a chilly day. The views from the outdoor jacuzzi were lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed the sauna. We also made use of the hotel laundry service, which was prompt and effective.

    Beautiful complex, as if you are staying in a historic village. Low-rise building with nice rooms. We were upgraded to a very large and very nice junior suite at no extra charge. And are pampered. With a golf cart we were driven with our luggage to our room with stops along the way and explanations of where to find what (restaurants, indoor pool, outdoor pool). Slippers are ready, soft generous towels, free use of the minibar, espresso machine and kettle, fresh fruit and sweets in the room. The staff was very friendly. Everything is aimed at a very high level of service and customer appreciation. Everything is well arranged and of high quality. Aircos in the room, nice, large pools, spacious restaurant. Lots of menu choices at breakfast, both local and international options. Even when there are a few guests, choice at the dinner buffet is still sufficient. Bed was generous. A lovely mattress. Also the bathroom was spacious. Shuttle service to Petra or by car/tax about 10-15 minutes. We did not feel unsafe for a minute during our entire trip in Jordan from November 23, 2023 to December 3, 2023.

    There is nothing in the immediate area though the hotel website does explain that. So you either need a car or make full use of the shuttle service to take you to the Petra main gates (7am or 8am with return at 12pm or 4pm so a bit limited). The junior suite we booked had no view at all so maybe the hotel needs to be clear on the options when booking as it is quite expensive. The hotel could do a little bit more on giving you information about Petra and your options for visiting the site. You don’t have to do it all in one day as the ‘back entrance’ to the monastery is another option for a second day after doing the main site on the first day. Having someone on the reception team with knowledge about Petra options would be a bonus. Please find a way to install water filtration systems and stop using plastic bottles - the hotel seems big enough and organised enough to do this.

    Lovely hotel with a lovely room - we had a junior suite. The staff were really friendly and willing to help in any way or sort out any little problem like re-filling the complimentary fridge. The cleaner was happy to stop and chat and a lovely lady. Staff in the restaurant, also excellent. Very commendable on what the hotel is trying to do to regenerate the area. Outdoor pool area great although a little cold at the time we were there. Sitting out on the restaurant terrace for dinner to watch the sun go down was beautiful.

    If you want to be in walking distance to Petra this isn’t the hotel for you, but it’s a 10min drive either by shuttle or 10 JOD taxi.

    Beautiful property with lovely staff and amazing rooms, feels very authentic! Shuttle rides at 7am/8am to Petra visitor centre and returns at 12pm/4pm.

    Love the history—it truly felt like we were staying in a historic village. The views over the village and hills were lovely beautiful sunset. And, while it wasn’t next to Petra, it was only a few minutes drive to the Petra entrance (there have a bus but we didn’t use it since we had a car)

    I can’t think of a single way to improve the experience. The food and the staff exceeded our expectations in every way. Also I would recommend getting an official guide at Petra for two full days, going to Little Petra and the Monastery via the back entrance the 2nd day, if you are truly interested in the site. And the pools, hot tub and massage are perfect after long days hiking.

    The Old Village Resort was absolutely fantastic. In particular Mousa at the front desk was so helpful and efficient in arranging various activities, and all the staff were friendly and competent, cordial without being obsequious. The room was beautifully furnished and had everything including atmosphere with the original stone walls so you felt you were somewhere special. The transport to Petra was convenient and easier than driving. We loved both pools. The Egyptian masseuse was the best I’ve ever experienced so take advantage! The breakfast and dinner buffets were outstanding with different choices every night (we stayed 3 nights) with lots of freshly prepared options, and delicious fresh juices. The views from the terrace for dining were just incredible both morning and evening, go earlier to see the sunset. Absolutely wonderful. We were playing backgammon on our iPad and the staff brought us a beautiful inlaid wood board to use. We were tempted to buy it. There are tour groups but the property is laid out in such a way that it accommodates them easily without overcrowding, something I had worried about before I booked. We just loved our stay.
