The entire hotel -- actually a series of small courtyards with three or four rooms each -- is elegantly designed and beautifully situated on one of Wadi Mesa's hills. Away from the bustle of Petra's entrance, it's an idyllic place to spend your time here. Two pools, indoor and outdoor, plus Jacuzzi and sauna, help to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff is wonderful. Two thumbs up!

We had a wonderful stay at Old Village Resort in Wadi Musa. The hotel is a perfect base for visiting Petra – located in a quiet, atmospheric area with beautiful views, yet close enough to reach the Petra entrance without any problems. After long days of walking and hiking around the ancient city, it was a real pleasure to come back to such a comfortable and charming place.

The resort itself is very well maintained and has a lot of character, with traditional architecture and a relaxing atmosphere. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the common areas – including the pool and terraces – provided great spots to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. The staff were professional, friendly and always ready to help with any request, from arranging transport to giving practical tips for visiting Petra.

One of the highlights of our stay was the on-site spa. After an intense day of sightseeing in Petra, we absolutely recommend booking a massage there. The massage therapist Aerf is outstanding – highly skilled, attentive and very professional. His Dead Sea Salt Scrub treatment helped us relax completely and recover after a long day in Petra. It was exactly what we needed after hours of walking in the sun and on rocky paths.

we had an amazing stay. this is an amazing property that is perfect for the occasion of visiting petra. everything about this place worked - large well appointed room, a great restaurant, top notch staff, an indoor pool and much more. our kids loved the place, including the charming location and “village” like feel. the only downside was that a number of the fitness room equipment weren’t working, but that’s pretty minor. overall, this was a first rate experience.

Quiet location and a great hotel

We arrived at 0400 and check in was no problem. The suite was large with a separate private patio, seating area and bathroom. We had buffet breakfast each morning which had a wide and varied choice. We sat outside on the balcony and were fortunate that an inconsiderate smoker only sat down once. In the evening we also dined at the hotel buffet which again was excellent and its unusual that we did this. The hotel is a 5minute taxi drive from other restaurants and it was easier to dine in as the variation and quality was superb. The pool area was clean and tidy and towels were provided. The outside pool was unheated i.e cold but this great after a hot day walking around Petra.
It is a dry hotel, and it seems odd to ban drink but allow smoking in eating areas. The orher added bonus is that it is quiet, no piped music except the call to prayer, which is great to listen to as it rolls down the hillside. We would return.

The hotel is a destination itself. It was a very antique olive oil farm and you can see ruins of the very old buildings under it. You feel like luving in a Nabatean village. The views are amazing.
But the best of the hotel are the people. Very welcoming and friendly, willing to do the extra mile for you. Special thanks to Baker and his family for taking great care of us.

Photos perfectly convey antiquity and the exotic. Staff bends backwards for your comfort. Do not expect sleek modernity. Rooms, beds, bathrooms are very comfortable, and clean. The buffet serves delicious local cuisine. If your from the west, please don’t be a Snob by complaining there’s not an omelette station. Your here for the history.
There are many photo worthy corners in the lobby. The bar serves great cocktails and wine. Wine from Israel is excellent. Be a good guest. Observe the golden rules. People and groups visiting from all over the world are fascinating. Please be open to socialize. Steel yourself with pushy cabbies and vendors. Don’t respond, just ignore. Easy walk from Jaffa Gate and everything you could hope for is walking distance. Wife and I will stay at the Gloria on our return to Jerusalem.

Grateful. Charming style

I had to book the same day as an emergency because there was an overbooking at Mövenpick. The clients are SUPER difficult and they were not happy with the change. I think the hotel is pretty nice in its charming way but they were really dissapointed and said the bedding is old and yellowed. They are people who are never happy. I am super thankful because otherwise I would have had them sleep in the street.

Arrived at hotel about 4pm , chilled by the outise pool, until 6 then had coffee on the terrace just outside the resturant to watch the sunset.
Indoor pool was also very nice with an outdorr jacuzzi open til 9pm and gym .

We ate at the buffet. The food was excellent 20JD each
Wide selection of salads and all the Jordanian dips, wide selection of breads, and desserts, hot food included dishes of chicken , beef, fish , vegetables , rice, potatoes all very flavoursome and tasty.
There is also a pasta and pizza station all freshly cooked.
The service from the staff in the restaurant was friendly and efficient after a long day touring eating in the hotel was ideal for us , away from the main tourist area. Peaceful , relaxing and on the hill looking down on Petra town .
Breakfast plenty of choice , Jordanian foods, also bread station , plenty of pastries , yougurt , fruit , juices cereals and eggs made to order and other hot dishes .
I enjoyed my stay here
This is a dry hotel which didnt bother us
Thanks for my stay

Beautiful location, absolutely lovely accommodations, staff eager to please and gracious. The dinner buffet was more than adequate and very generous. The breakfast buffet likewise.

The morning departure felt very chaotic with many bus loads of tourists leaving at the same time. Despite our calling the front desk early, our luggage was not picked up from our room, and we were afraid it had gotten misplaced; in fact, it was still sitting outside in front of our room until we tried to hunt it down. The staff inside at the front desk didn’t seem able to help the staff outside with the buses.

Other than that brief SNAFU, all went well and we had a wonderful stay. I would go back!

The Jewel of Petra

From an upgrade on checkin to impeccable service and friendly, helpful staff, The Old Village can’t be faulted.
The room and facilities are clean, well maintained, very comfortable and quiet. Food options are extensive and good quality. Fantastic pools and outdoor areas.
The location away from Tourist St. is not an inconvenience with shuttle bus and taxis available and allows an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
Mahmoud and his staff should be complimented on an outstanding product, would definitely stay again.

This property is laid out in such a way that the place feels really quiet even when it is busy. The pool area is great to relax in after a days walking at Petra. It’s a big pool too which is nice. You can have a lovely bbq dinner outside or there is a buffet restaurant. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Petra. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the gates of Petra park which goes and comes back twice a day. We had a car so didn’t use it. There is plenty of parking at the Petra visitor centre which is free. The hotel will also arrange lunch and breakfast boxes if you are leaving early. We opted for a breakfast box as we wanted to see the park before it got crowded. Petra opened at 6 and we got there just after. I’d recommend doing that as it meant we avoided the crowds and walking in the heat of the day.

Beautiful setting away from the crowds near Petra site. Good facilities.
Did not need clean towels every day for our 3 night stay. Sign on bathroom wall saying how Jordan has very little water & would we hang towels up if we did not want them washed. We did this and they were still taken away to be washed. A waste of water to wash them which was not necessary. No towels replaced until evening. System could be improved by replacing used towels with new ones at same time and hotel should be thinking of saving water & helping the environment.

Overall had a lovely, two-night stay at the Old Village Resort. Our room was excellent, the service was great, and we enjoyed breakfast. Given the price, the bathrooms could be a little nicer (although they're perfectly functional), and it would make a huge difference if the outdoor pool were heated. (It was like dipping a toe in ice water.) But we would still certainly recommend this hotel. (The shuttle provided to Petra is very convenient.) We stayed with two children, aged 5 and 10.

The resort is nice, we liked the stone houses; would have loved to have stone walls also in the rooms instead of painted. The rooms are large and confortable. The sleeping quality is good.
The hotel seems a bit old though, due to some items that are overused, like towels. The spa/ pool area and also the bathroom could get some improvements as well.
The reception staff was not very friendly and unable to support with some Petra information, disappointing I would say. The shuttle service for the city center is very nice and the price is low. The transfer to Petra visitor center is free, a plus for the guests that do not have a rented car.

The resort is beautiful and reminds me of a Scottsdale Arizona resort just due to the spread out layout and use of golf carts to help people to their rooms. Our room was huge — comfortable king bed and separate sitting room. The resort really does feel like an old stone village (apparently its built on the remains of one) — the rooms feel almost like separate residences.

Breakfast was great — a big spread of many different foods both local/Jordanian and international. You can also get an omelette or egg cooked to order.

No alcohol on the premises, FYI, but we were able to bring our own for dinner. And there’s a charming man making sand art souvineers in the lobby.

Not walkable to Petra but honestly I preferred that because it’s nutty down by the Petra entrance. This was a pleasant change of pace after a day at Petra.
