No complains at all. Everything was Picture Perfect

Unussual accomodation, amazing location. We spent a night here in late January 2022. The manager Ilya was very helpful with arranging a tour for us.

Our stay in the Russian Pilgrim Residence was absolutely great. It is such an amazing place, to get in touch with the christian religion in Jordan and it is also a fantastique place for meditation and to enjoy the calming and curing silence. The manager, Mr. Elias, is a very friendly and helpful person, who was always looking how to make our stay comfortable. Also the food, cooked by Mr. Taniah, was so delicious and plenty. The place and also the rooms are very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our visit so much and we will come back definitely! Thank you very much for all!

Honestly, I had such a great time there. I wish I could have stayed for a week. The peace and silence were so soothing. The whole place is so magical and it was a truly amazing experience. When you need a break from the business of life, you need to go there. My highlight was swimming in the Jordan river - what an experience :) The manager, Elias, was so helpful and helped me to get around.

Very beautifull and calm locality. Personal were kindly.

This is absolutely unique place, just 50 meters from Jordan river with private access point to the river where we could bath in its holy waters. Nowhere in Jordan or Israel you can sleep right next to Holy Jordan, where Jesus had been baptized. The most mysterious and stunning place I ever stayed! Absolute blessing!

Perfect retreat close to Jordan river - no other option nearby - it is in heavy military zone as meters away from Israel border - cannot walk about - hang out by the river and hotel gardens and small local walks - to St Mary of Egypt ‘s cave for example and Baptism site without the daily hoards-good home cooking clean and quiet - it is a pilgrim’s retreat after all !

A beautiful quiet tranquil location beside the Jordan River. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

The Russian Residence is located within the Baptism Site, offering the rare privilege of staying very close to a place of great significance to Christians. If you happen to be the only guests you will find an environment of extraordinary quiet and solitude. It was also comfortably warm in the evening and early morning (in early November) and very hot once the sun is up - even at this time of year.

C'est une expérience en dehors du temps de passer une nuit ici. L'endroit est sobre et calme puisqu'une fois le site touristique fermé il n'y a plus personne ! J'avais eu un accident avant de venir et nous avions perdu les repas que nous avions pour notre bébé, ils nous ont trouvé pleins de petites choses... Merci
