    The property is really good and at a perfect spot on the mountains of wadi musa from where you get a beautiful view. The Petra visitor centre from where you start your Petra tour is just 10-15min walk and even while walking you can enjoy the views. Beds & Toilets were clean and that’s always my first preference. Nice Stay, i highly recommend.

    Been quite sweaty when I climbed up to hostel from Petra.

    Ten minutes walk from Petra main entrance. Perfect view especially during sunset. Very rich breakfast, so you won't be hungry when going out. Pool at ground floor and comfy terrace with the view to city and Petra.

    Rafiki hostel was the best decision, clean, comfortable, perfect as a solo traveler, if I wanted to be alone, I had the opportunity, because the hostel offers a lot of options. The staff is very nice, helpful. When I wanted company, I went up to the amazing rooftop and watched the sunset with the other guests. The coolest hostel I have ever been to.

    This hotel is definitely a hostel vibe, and it’s not 5 star luxury hotel. It’s a hotel if you want an amazing cultural experience.

    I love how welcoming and fun the owner is. He is out every night in his rooftop for all the guests entertaining, cooking, and throwing parties. It’s like staying at your best friends house.

    Planned to stay for one night but kept extending because of the experience. The owner, staff and volunteers are all fantastic people and help make you feel at home. The space itself is amazing - the pool is a great area to release and sunbathe, the main floor has a couch with a TV and several tables for dining, and the covered rooftop is a perfect place to relax and watch the best sunsets in Wadi Musa. 10/10 experience - highly recommend (and this is coming from someone who never leaves reviews)!

    Location,rooftop,helpful staff and great owner

    Such a wonderful place to stay . The staff and the owner was so helpful for my whole entire trip in Petra .The room was so clean and I can’t forget the rooftop of the place where you can see the best sunset ever . Walking distance from the main entrance of Petra is just 10 minutes. After a warm day in my trip was perfect enjoying the swimming pool also . Thank you for hosting me ,definitely I will recommend this place with all my heart to everyone who will visit Jordan 🙏

    The hostel is really cool and located in a local area where you have lots of cheap restaurants and stores. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean and stylish, but the staff is the real highlight of this place. The manager invited me for lunch as soon as I came and even gave me a ride so I wouldn't need to walk back alone after Petra by Night. I'd recommend this place to anyone going to Petra!

    If you’re looking for a fun spot to unwind with friends, dance, or just enjoy Petra’s nightlife, Rafeki Rooftop and Pool Party is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended!

    Friendliest staff I have ever met in any hostel. The room is well equipped, comfy bed, great view to the city from the rooftop . Breakfast was good. Petra entrance around 10 minutes on foot. The manager gave us great tips not just about Petra, but for the following steps on our journey around Jordan.

    Rafiki was one of the best hostel I ever stayed at! Everything was great from the moment I arrived till the moment I left, the check in was smooth and got many helpful tips and recommendations by the owner (Ghaith), the room where I stayed was clean with a comfy bed, the hostel has an amazing rooftop where you can watch a lovely sunset, they also have a swimming pool where you can dip yourself after a long hike day in Petra, they also provided me with a lunch box for a very affordable price, helped me with my transportation to Wadi Rum, the hostel vibe on the rooftop in the evening is something else.. honestly words can’t describe how wonderful my stay was, and I will definitely come back and spend more time there.. thank you Rafiki team and thank you Ghaith for being a wonderful human being.
