The only good part was the fact that is outside the unattractive city of Aqaba (10 km south) and close to a beach. This place was probably built in the '70s, cleaned once, and never again. The switches in my room (to turn lights on/off were filthy), the toilet leaked water all over the bathroom, the door to my room was broken.. I can go on and on.. Do not eat the breakfast (which is terrible anyway). The morning I was there, the guy bringing out 4 plates with food in them, sneezed all over them and all over the food, disgusting. My silverware had not been washed in days and had cheese glued to them.. The coffee mug still had coffee marks from days before.. My advice: if you cannot stay anywhere else, stay here, do not touch the food and especially do not use the 'pool' (I saw small kids swimming in there... And who knows when it was last maintained and cleaned). Oh, bring your own sheets and pillow cases too. Finally, be careful at the beach (especially for small children), it is full of broken glass...

The Bedouin Garden Village is a good place if you are looking for a budget hotel by the beach. The place has really nice hang out spots with sofas and matrasses, a nice pool and Wifi in the common area. The grilled lamb and chicken the serve at the restaurant is simple but good. The place is very close to the beach which is very convenient. The rooms are nothing fancy, the blankets could do with some airing out and the pillows are lumpy. You can also easily hear the people in the room right next to you. The waiter speaks very little English, which resulted in not really being able to understand what would be served at lunch/dinner. No wifi in the room. The area the place is in only has two other hotels, no shops or ATMs, so there is not much else to do. They charge 4.5% extra to pay with Visa card (and do not take Mastercard). Their shisha is nice but don't expect to have someone take care of it (like they do in some places in Aqaba/Petra for example) and keep it going for you, unless you ask.

Preferable to Aquaba city when weather permits snorkeling. 11Km to city for food stores etc.is accomplished by taxi bargaining (1 Jodi/pers) or bus 0,5 Jodi from trafic signal by big flag . Relaxed atmosphere in bedouin style lounge or wind sheltered sunbeds by the pool. Staff is friendly and make efforts in satisfying your needs. Taxi from airport has "fixed" price 20 Jodir. Choose City Centre 7 Jodir and continue to South Beach for 5 Jodir

Relatively cheap fish meals in a sunny place with sea views. The room was inadequately ventilated, no shade, a square concrete box with small windows, tv had been removed. Considering it was the peak holiday time (Eid) I expected to pay a premium price, However, I got the very strong impression by speaking with other travellers that the management was really exploiting the high demand for rooms that weekend.

- All the staff was very friendly and helpful - they have really nice system of terraces where you can sleep or only hang around with an excellent view on the sea - The breakfast was really poor - we stayed two nights in the hotel - we didn't have a problem with hot water only that the stream of the water was really poor

This is a good hotel for value. Staff was attentive and very good about changing my room when asked. It is a good location if you have to stop in Aqaba for Petra or wadi Rum. The public areas are pleasant and allows interaction between the international mix of guests. Owner Jamal was very attentive to our comments. Plenty of hot water and good water quality. Good internet access and efficient air conditioning in the room. Breakfast should be improved (including quality of tea and coffee) as well as the menu of the hotel. The hotel beach location is across the coastal road and it is an open public beach with very little sense of privacy. It does not invite you to spend time on it. This is typical of all beaches in Aqaba with the exception of the big resorts and should be taken into consideration. Here the shipwreck offers a good snorkeling and diving attraction.

15 minutes / 5JD taxi ride from Aqaba. Very peaceful, beach 50m - I am a diver, but the snorkling was OK, away - it can organise dives and has it's own snorkle kit for hire, plus its own small pool. Room was absoultely fine, and there was a mix of young and old couples, a family - but not with children running around being annoying. I am in Jordan on business staying in business hotels, but a back packer at heart and have not slept better. A bar would be good. It would be useful to have anti-fly spray on sale. The flies are the only thing that annoyed me.

Breakfast: old bread, only if you ask you will get fresh bread. Hotel staff is not very friendly; it seems to be more of a hassle for them to serve customers.

The location was close to the sea. The place was family oriented and peaceful. There was an intensive care about the cleanliness of the swimming pool. The staff were gentle and helpful. The room door key hardly fits into the lock. It needs to be changed. The toilet does not flush completely, you may have to wait a refill for a complete flush. The bath room has poor smell recycling.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Bedouin Garden Village, because of the location, prices, and the atmosphere! The area was gorgeous and the atmosphere was very relaxing! I had one goal in Aqaba and that was diving. The location of this hotel was absolutely perfect for that! All the best dive sites were within walking distance, and after the diving day, the snorkeling was also Phinominal! Also, there is WiFi, and was that was very pleasing!

The cosy atmosphere at the sitting area around the pool is fantastic. A place to meet and relax after snorkelling or diving. We never had a breakfast as minimalistic as that served at Bedouin Garden Village.

What a joy to stay again at Bedouin Garden Village...it is one of my most favourite places in Jordan to relax and unwind. It was as always outstanding value for money. We loved the swimming pool and loungers, thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular snorkelling in the Red Sea and were yet again impressed by the lovely, friendly service. I ate delicious fresh fish everyday in the restaurant which again is great value for money. I will just keep going back!

This hotel was unique with many small old fashion sitting areas to relax and enjoy your company. Everything in this hotel reminds you to just relax, enjoy your time and forget about your daily worries. The stuff was so friendly and welcoming. I felt like I was among friends that I knew for a long time. Stuff was always at your service ready to accommodate you. I liked the fact that you can be so much in contact with nature and the country life at this hotel and still enjoy the commodity of modern life. I have no complains. If I have to choose again next time, I will choose the same hotel.
