    I recently stayed at Rafiki Hostel for a few nights during my visit to Petra. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to assist and make me feel welcome. The hostel itself is new and well-maintained, with clean and modern bathrooms. One of the highlights was the amazing rooftop terrace, offering stunning views of the sunset and the surrounding mountains. It truly added to the atmosphere of my stay.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    For our recent trip to Petra, we stayed at Rafiki Hostel. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering a variety of trip options. We opted for the buffet breakfast and dinner, which were absolutely delicious and a great value for money. The rooftop, although under construction, had a fantastic view and was perfect for relaxation. The hostel also provided a breakfast box for on-the-go convenience.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The location is convenient with plenty of restaurants nearby to easily put together a picnic for your day exploring. the rooftop offers a nice view to relax in the evenings, and the lounge area provides a comfortable space to unwind.

    Check-in can be chaotic and some areas of the hotel are currently undergoing construction.

    I had an amazing time during my stay at this hostel in Wadi Musa. The rooftop view was absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that I had a memorable experience. I also loved the fact that they organized various activities every evening, which allowed me to fully enjoy my time there.

    While the overall experience was fantastic, there were a few minor downsides. The breakfast options didn't really suit my taste, as it mainly consisted of white bread with spreads.

    The hosts at Rafiki made me feel like family, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. They even offered to pick me up when I had concerns about taxi drivers. Their generosity extended to getting me a fantastic deal for a Wadi Rum tour. I felt like a true friend, not just a guest. Thank you, Rafiki, for making my Petra/Wadi Rum experience memorable. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended! I had a fantastic stay at this hostel.

    The location of the hotel is convenient, with a 15-minute walk to the main attraction. The comfortable room provided an extra heater during the stay. The staff were helpful, assisting with bookings and arranging for luggage storage near the bus station. Additionally, the rooftop view offered a cozy hangout spot.

    The shower had some issues, with water going everywhere, and hot water only available during specific hours.
