Reviews of Alhidan Hostel & adventure

We had a great time here, Adel was so welcoming and friendly. They were very happy to provide vegetarian food and the walk was really fun. Highly recommend.

Adel, the host, is Amazing. Really funny and helpful. As well as Atta and Salah Who work there. The canyoning activity Is really cool and it's worth It. Less touristic than Wadi Mujib! Breakfast and dinner were great!

Everything was perfect!

Amazing building and location. The staff were very welcoming. Good local food.

The owner is a strong man, and his family is very welcoming. The hotel is exceptionally clean and modern. The views are wonderful, and the food is both delicious and plentiful. This has definitely been the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Jordan during my holiday.

The route I took to get to the hotel was dangerous. However, this is not the hotel's fault; it's due to Google Maps suggesting a "shorter" route instead of safer alternatives that are available. I recommend asking the owner for some tips on safer ways to get around.

They have built a great structure in the middle of the mountain, very close some secondary unknown hikes that are quite impressive. The building itself is made out of concrete, and it offers some rooms that are modern, big, comfortable, with everything and anything you need, with a good bathroom and hot water. The staff is very welcoming, and take care of you from the moment you arrive. Dinner and breakfast were very very good. We were alone, and we could feel the magic of the place from the very beginning. We had a great pleasant night. I would really recommend.

No Wi-Fi in the room, just in the common areas. This is not a bad thing, it is better to disconnect, and enjoy.

Excellent staff, went out of their way for us. Amazing location.

Staff were great, very remote location, great views. Unique setting and very interesting.

The bedroom was cooled by a fan over the bed which made sleep a bit draughty.

It was our first time in this tiny and cosy place in Wadi Rum. It was very comfortable and clean, and Ali, the owner, and Malibu were perfect hosts. Gentle, friendly, and warm enough that you feel at home

I have nothing in this "didn't like" box to write

Location of the hotel - when you think you're lost, it's a short walk away. The place is really nice. Free parking in front of the hotel. Rooms large, most with balcony.

Dinner and breakfast are included - both were average.

Since the hotel is practically built into the mountain, there is a gorgeous view of the wadi from the terrace and it is perfect as a base for adventures like hiking and canyoning. Since we had a full moon, it was a lovely and elemental experience to sit outside as the wind picks up at night and illuminates the valley. Dinner and breakfast are served so no worries about organising food. The panoramic road to the hotel is an adventure in itself!

It was my first trip to Jordan and I did not have a lot of time to research hiking routes. Thus, I was hoping to find that info at the Adventure Center = the hotel and either get a map for self-guided walk or book a guided tour right there (as the Wild Jordan website probably gives the contact details of the adventure center). Unfortunately, I was told that the water was too cold for "activities" and could only take a scenic 1h-walk along the back of the hotel (which was nice to enjoy the view by day). However, I am confused if the "activities" referred only to canyoning through a waterfall which requires swimming and the vests which were hanging outside (to dry?) because as I understand it, there are many trails, also a Siq trail where no swimming is required just maybe treading through water (it had not been raining recently, I think, so the water should only be ankle-high, if I understand correctly?). End of October/early November is the time some trails open/close, so maybe I was there at the wrong time of the year... Since it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere, I would love to be back and hope to do some activities another time of the year!

Beautifully relaxing place - great staff

View and atmosphere is simply amazing :-)

The location and views Amazing dinner And very kind personal

Absence of AC in the room.

Canyon trail was the best part. Nice staff.

Rooms have no air-conditioners, - sleepless nights as result. The place is in the middle of nowhere, there's nothing else to do except canyon trail.

A fantastic location and very nice staff. The owner helped us very much with booking another place for the desert stay. We are very grateful.
