Breakfast can be improved

Location, authenticity, kindness of the team, cleanliness

Staff were very friendly and respectful, the views, dinner and breakfast were very delicious and my overall stay was perfect.

Information about the hikes and walks in the vicinity (other than Three Villages) can be pretty challenging to research. It would be great if the hotel had a little book showing the locations and what you can see and do there. But failing that, ask them about Bani Habib and the Lost Villages Walk.

The Hanging Villages Hotel lives up to its name--the hotel is perched on the edge of one of the village terraces. The hotel itself is actually 3 separate houses that have been renovated to the original design with stone walls, roof supports of local tree branches and local art. Our bedroom was slightly small for a king-sized bed; however, the bed was extremely comfortable. The towels were luxurious and the ensuite bathroom was modern and bright. The hotel's restaurant was in a separate building from our room; with a fabulous view into the valley and surrounding terraces. The Three Villages walk starts right outside the front door. Hospitable staff.

Very warm welcome by the staff. Also at the pickup point. Good dinner and breakfast. The rooms are authentic but with modern comfort. Could not ask for more from a stay.

The character of the rooms and attention to detail in the restoration of the buildings. The location is spectacular.

The place is truly beautiful, but the rooms are extremely small and don’t reflect the photos shown on Booking. That said, the staff are wonderful and the hospitality is top-notch.

This is top- class place with modern amenities set in amongst traditional, rustic charm. The room was cosy, comfortable and quiet. We received a very warm, friendly welcome with Omani coffee and treats and the dinner and breakfast served in the cafe with incredible views were great. There is a large rooftop for relaxing on. The location is perfect for exploring the three villages and the terraced gardens on the Three Villages Walk.

We loved our stay with Uncle Ali and the team at Hanging Terraces. As the name suggests, the roof terraces in the hotel that overlooked the garden terraces were great for relaxing after a hike. The rooms were beautifully renovated in the old traditional style. The food was great - nice to have breakfast and dinner included.

Stayed in April 2025

Nothing really, except for the room that we had that was perhaps a bit tight in space.

Those old inhabited houses have been very well renovated while keeping the authentic Omani touch. A stay in this place gives you the opportunity to explore the nearby rose gardens and experience the life of the Jabal Al Akhdar inhabitants. Diner and breakfast are really good with a high variety of choice.

The room was very small but to be fair we didn’t spend much time in it. Breakfast wasn’t great.

The location!! It is in a perfect situation in Al Aqar village with views of the other villages and the rose terraces as well as the mountains and canyon too. The building has lots of character and all the rooms are different. There are three rooftop terrace, all with great views. This is an ideal location to visit the rose terraces.

We loved the location and the hotel, the room was charming and the view, extraordinary.

We’ve stayed in this property a few times on trips to Jebel Akhdar and love the warm welcome we always receive and look forward to returning. The rooms are well appointed, given the heritage feeling, and we’re never left wanting more. The food in the evenings and mornings is plentiful and good quality.

No beer (as almost everywhere in Oman ;)

Great hospitality, beautiful view and perfect mix of tradition and modern

Amazing place to stay, really typical, amazing service and really good food. We loved everything and would come back

Perhaps more of a suggestion rather than a complaint, but loose rocks as a flooring in a shower ain’t the most convenient nor sanitary. Beautiful touch though.

The property is a cliffhanger along the Three Village Hike. Exceptional views of the terraces and comfy rooftop with shades you can enjoy during the day. The dinner was excellent and breakfast was alright. I would say similar views of the Anantara for a fraction of the cost. Parking is nearby (2-3 minutes’ walk)

The rocks in the shower take time getting used to, but fun for a night or two.

Beautiful buildings. Nicely arranged rooms. Amazingly comfortable bed.

Stayed in February 2025

Everything was good.

Hotel was expertly renovated keeping lots of its rustic charm. Able to walk from the hotel along the valley.

Authentic small hotel in a beautiful location, very tastefully made out of old village house. Views at the mountain terraces are spectacular. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. 100% recommended!

Half board was standard. Buffet breakfast and dinner were both good with lots of choices.

Fantastic location and beautifully designed. The luxury room we had for the first night was simply stunning! Friendly and welcoming staff.

Only an extremely minor downside, I thought the pebbles at the base of the shower were a bit uncomfortable to stand on.

Wow, what a location! The staff were lovely and the dinner and breakfast were both tasty. The hotel is beautifully decorated. A really nice place

Stayed in January 2025

There is no shelf to put our toiletries in the bathroom and we didn't like the pebble stones in the shower (it looks nice but is uncomfortable :) We were lucky to have quiet neighbours as we could hear everything from the other bedrooms in the same area, including simply opening and closing the doors. Not related to the hanging terraces: you need a 4x4 to drive to the location. If not, police may stop you at the checkpoint and you have a take a taxi.

The location of the Hanging terraces is perfect for a walk in the villages. The view from our room and the terrace was splendid. Very welcoming host (and very elegant), ready to explain the origin of his family house. Food (dinner and breakfast) was good and plenty + there is snack in the bedroom like dates, cookies, fruits, almonds... Bed was very comfortable.

amazing location with great views, quiet (thanks for. It putting music at breakfast and dinner like most places !!!), great renovation. Food was fresh and great. We spent 2 nights in room 6 and I could have spent one week !!! Good paths to walk (beware old stones and villages with no real pathways but don’t forget we are hunting for a treasure 😉)
