    "Très bien pour 1 ou 2 nuits à Petra"

    Guesthouse bien située, à 5 min en voiture du site à visiter, personnel très aimbale, box à emporter pour le petit déjeuner si on souhaite partir avant 7h

    Accueil très sympa Localisation Box petit déjeuner copieuse et pas chère (4 Jod) Ventilateur mis à disposition car pas de clim Chambre spacieuse, salle de bain fonctionnelle Rapport qualité prix
    Propreté : chambre twin, 1 des 2 lits n'avait pas été refait et la chambre non nettoyée à l'arrivée. Au final : Ménage rapide dans la salle de bain, et uniquement taie d'oreiller changée pour le 2e lit, draps laissés idem avec un petit coup de Febreeze dessus ?!!?? Je ne me suis pas servie de ce lit mais ça laisse quand même à désirer ! Même le 1er lit était d'ailleurs limite, j'ai dormi dans mon drap de sac et avec ma taie d'oreiller

    "Nice place to stay"

    It is a nice place to stay, about 10 minutes walking from Entrance to Petra. It has wonderful view, kind and helpful staff. In general, atmosphere is good and friendly. It was a little bit cold when we were there but if you ask staff to give you extra blanket or to start the heater, it is ok. I would recommend everyone this place!

    "Wonderful Hostel!"

    Stayed at Rafiki Hostel for two nights with a couple of friends. Great hostel, fantastic views from the rooftop and the lobby. The rooms could use a bit of extra maintenance (doors, windows, etc.) but nothing major, and certainly excellent value for money. Very good breakfast, dinner and evening dance show as well. And above all thanks to Abdulrahman for the hospitality, advice and conversation! Will definitely stay at Rafiki Hostel if I pass through Wadi Musa again

    "Recommenced for solo travellers visiting Petra"

    Had a lovely one-night stay here when visiting Petra on my own. Owners are really nice and arranged for a little trip to watch the sunset (free of charge). Very nice atmosphere, easy to meet other travellers too. The dinner is really nice and comes at a low price. Great value for money, recommended for backpackers!

    No hot water in the shower
