    Dinner service could have been better organized.

    We were upgraded to a better room and the breakfast was good. The owners son took us around the garden area, described the different plants and was very friendly.

    Rooms are basic but have everything you need. Staff is super friendly. You definitely need a car to reach this. We stayed here for two nights before entering the desert. You can also take desert tours from staying within this hotel.

    Nothing

    The apartment was clean, spacious and tidy. The Rest House owner Mr Mohammed Al Hajri and his son Mr Hamed made us feel quite comfortable. They gave us tips to visit nearby tourist places. The breakfast was quite yummy although with limited options but for Omani Riyal 2 it was more than money's worth.

    The private Canyoning tour ist highly recommend. It seems to be expensive but when you finish it you will see that it is worth each Rial. Be aware that it is very demanding. You need experience, sufficient physis, and appropriate equipment. Some passages can only be made swimming. An experience, that you will never forget.

    There is a picture of the water in the outdoor swimming pool in booking com. But I have never seen water in it. Have been there at least 5 times. Would love to go swimming!

    Nice place and friendly owner. It was clean and quiet. Good breakfast. Value for the price. Beautiful garden. Close to the desert.

    Breakfast offerings were a waste of time initially but they did cook us fresh eggs and toast on request so all good.

    Perfect for trips to Wadi Bani Khalid pools, only 45 min drive from the hotel. Liked the deserts sands located literally outside the back of the hotel. We stayed 2 nights and decided to upgrade to the small chalet room for 2ndnight as has it's own pool in the room! Well worth doing as this was amazing and filled with well water from deep in the ground which was warm and felt lovely on the skin!! Bit pricey but awesome!! Also most powerful shower so far in Oman.

    The room looked a bit dated, but it was ok.

    They sure got parking, and a nice garden. The place is next to the highway, so that was practical. Quick exit to Wadi Bani Khalid. Good food with quick service. Flexible owner, he can arrange tours, meals for groups, etc
