    This was my favourite stay in Oman. The place is very cute, beautifully decorated, quiet and the hosts are incredibly hospitable. It's also perfectly located in Misfat, in a green quiet setting.

    Not as traditional as it is marketed to be. My room had a high bed, as opposed to the mattresses on the floor that are often seen in the pictures. Meals were very western, although there was always dates included in every meal.

    Property is in a beautiful location, spread out over a couple of buildings in the area. The area itself is beautiful to explore with some easy and not-so-easy hiking tracks that go right through the village. Rooms were neat, had a fridge and could be locked. Room had screens at the window, so that when the shutters are open, insects don't get in. My room also had a small balcony. Bathroom does not have an enclosed or curtained shower area, but is big enough that you wont get anything else wet when showering.

    A restricted view of the mountains from our room due to obscuring palm trees but they helped keep us cool and were beautiful anyway.

    Rustic charm in a marvellous position within the old village with a marked footpath immediately adjacent. Fruit and drinks provided in the very spacious room were very well received after the long journey. Authentic Omani house with a simple but excellent choice of Omani food. The Omani bread and date honey included in the breakfast buffet was delicious. Hadn't realised King Charles had tea here in 2018.

    It is perfect!

    Misfah Old House is an absolutely fantastic place to stay, a gem! Everything was lovely, the room/apartment we were given, simple, roomy, clean with original features lovely restored. The dinner and breakfast are superlative, as was the Omani coffee with dates offered promptly upon our arrival. As I had informed them that one of us was vegetarian they prepared for us delicious extra food that they placed on our table at dinner, which was really a very generous touch, considering that the food available on the buffet would have been more than plenty and comprising vegetarian options aplenty! We loved the terrace where the restaurant is located and the other terrace one floor below where you can sit and relax. The walk around the oasis is so nice and peaceful, paradise! I will definitely recommend this property and hopefully be back upon my next trip to Oman. Lovely and attentive staff and owner. Thank you!

    Loved how authentic and yet comfortable it was. The mattresses were very good, the sound of the water running through the irrigation system outside was amazing to hear during the night. Everything was clean, and the meals we had there were also very good, with good selection. The location is a plus given it’s in the middle of a banana plantation. There are hiking trails we can do around, and the views are just stunning.

    I had a small room with bathroom, but to access it I had to go outside through the balcony and several steps, which is no ideal. I find it a bit expensive for what I got

    Beautiful traditional acccommodation with a lot of charm. The buffets for dinner and breakfast were fine. The staff is really nice and helpful. Location is great, quite isolated from the rest of the village. Quiet. The views are great

    Incredible restored facilities in the village. Highly recommended. Food and rooms were terrific. We booked a separate 2-hour tour of the village with Yacoob. This was a very educational walk through the old village. You can walk by your self using the well marked/labeled paths, but having a local guide who grew up in the village was definitely the highlight of the trip. This is a great heritage tourism operation.

The house and surroundings are amazing, the rooms are nicer than the pictures on booking show. Staff and the owner are sooo nice, dinner and breakfast were great as well.

    I loved my room. It had a lovely view but best of all was the sound of the water running through the small irrigation canals. It really just made everything so magical. Also, the village is so quiet at night. I loved my conversation with the owner of the property. He was so kind. Dinner and breakfast was also included and the food was very good.

    You have to park near top of the village and walk down quite a few steps to get there. They will help with luggage.

    Great property amongst the palms with rooftop restaurant.

    Very charming hotel in a historical part of Oman. We were surrounded by old buildings and very green and lush plantations of various fruits etc. Staff were very welcoming and attentive, I particularly want to thank the men who seemingly effortlessly carried our heavy luggage both up and down a lot of stairs to get to and from the parking area. Staff told us about the farming going on around, and about how to grow dates. Beautiful surroundings, and a good hub for various hikes. From your doorstep you can take a walk around the plantations and admire the landscape.

    I prefer plastic free guest houses and do not recommend distributing little plastic bottles.

    The owner greated his guest at dinner, i liked this gesture. Everybody was very kind and the dinner was tasty. I had a lovely hot shower. The village is very interesting and there is a hiking path you can follow. Park you car way up before the village and take an overnight bag with you. It is not possibile to drive to the hotel.
