Petra Wooden House

I had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely recommend this place! The facilities were exactly as shown in the pictures: clean, spacious, comfortable, and very functional. The location is also great — within walking distance of the town centre and only about a five-minute drive to the Petra entrance. But what really made the experience special was the warmth and kindness of the host family. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring, and I immediately felt at home. The food was also absolutely delicious and made the stay even more memorable. Everything was great, but the wonderful hosts truly made this place stand out. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Service of the owner

The host Mahmud was so helpful and nice! He has turned the building into a super welcoming hotel for anyone staying in Wadi Musa. He gave us lots of good advice for places to eat, things to do and see in and around Wadi Musa. Also, how to organize our visit in Petra so we would make the most of our time there. Definitely take his advice on activities and feel free to ask anything. He managed to put together a camel ride to Little Petra for all 3 of us which was absolutely incredible. He will not give up until you are happy guests. I would 100% come back to Petra Wooden House and would recommend anyone visiting Petra to stay here. 10/10 host and hotel, with the best rooftop view in the city.

The bed was very compftorable and the room had a great view. The staff were helpful once they arrived and prepared a generous breakfast to takeaway for my bus journey.

Staff were not available or reachable before the early evening. There is no way to check in before then. The bathroom was kind of manky. There was a long walk up a hill to get from Petra to the hotel. Taxis were very affordable, though. I would recommend using taxis to get back from Petra if staying here.
