Bedouin Garden Village  

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...

it`s nice for weekend

Rooms unhealthy

Location close to the reefs is good for diving. But given the lousy hygiene and the poor standard, the Bedouin Garden Village Hotel is highly overpriced; even with its - to Jordanian standards - comparatively lower prices. For thos who want pay 70 JOD per room that is worth 20.

They do not accept MasterCard, only cash or Visa. Breakfast is more than lousy (three slices of unwashed cucumber and three slices of unwashed tomato, both prepared the evening before and thus already dried, one egg, one triangle portion of soft cheese, one portion of confiture and a spoonful of hommos, all on one plate. There seem to be no real dish washing; cups, spoons, forks, plates etc. all show their history of previous meals; dishes seem to be washed with some drops of cold water if at all. Hygiene standards are below acceptability, also in the rooms. Bed cloths don't seem to be exchanged and cleaned for new room occupancy. There is no daily room cleaning service neither.

What I liked about it that it was a calm little place thats also nice, I liked the diving shop crew even though I didn't go dive, I rent some mask and talked to them and I got the impression that they were professional and very helpful. The service in the resturant was okay and the prices were kind of good

The front disk and the service to where you sit in case you ordered something was weak and you have to wait for a long time, they also have the worst hooka (sheesha) I ever had, seems like they need a hooka man (hooka expert), also they need to make sure they serve the juice cold and with some ice cause it is very hot in aqapa and the drinks will be warmer than you expect.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere - very friendly, helpful staff.

The cleanliness of our room was dreadful. There was still toothpaste splatters from the previous occupants on the bathroom tiles, there were smears on the wall, the pillows on the bed did not seem as clean as they should. The whole room needed a thorough clean.

Very nice location and special sitting areas

Very small rooms .....

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.

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.

Near The south beach.

Service and Clean is under average.

It's really like a village..The rooms are like little houses very confortables!You can eat outside your home/room there are tables only for you!Wanderful!

The hotel location at beach and sea-side.

Closet not available and no dividers are provided in the familiy room.

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.

It had confortable beds, It is very near to the shore.

I and my famuily didn't like the size of the room (family room), it was very small, for the number of beds in it. I thought that we will have a connected room, Frankly it was very expansive for the money we paid.Breakfast was very poor, I felt that if administartion is very avaricious. The water was without preasure at the shower so we did never enjoy the shower at all. The hotel was also very far from the city.
