Friendly host, clean room, amazing dinner und Breakfast, perfect for a stop on the Jordan Trail. Best thing is, it is actually in Rum village and not somewhere in the desert where they Charge you a huge fee to bring you there.

The hostel is located right in the Wadi Rum village, which is sort of a centre for tourists where you can easily arrange trips. The host was very helpful and able to provide many advices. Free tea available was very satisfying in winter weather. The room was not a luxurious one but for a good price and sufficent if you are looking for local experience. Possibility of very good dinner at the hostel. Otherwise there are several restaurants and markets in the village.

No problems!

The breakfast was nutritious and of good quality. The location of the accommodation is ideal, easy to find. A special advantage is that they also organize individual, personalized tours to the attractions of the area.

The hostel is located in the village of Rum, almost on the outskirts. The village is between the mountains Jabal Rum and Jabal Umm Ashreen, so you are already in amongst dramatic scenery. All roads abruptly end south of the village and you come out onto the gorgeous red/orange sands of the Wadi Rum desert and its many distinct rock formations and points of historical importance. Great hostel owner and host who works hard to provide for all of his guests. He, along with help from his brothers and cousins who run many of the various camps dotted around Wadi Rum Desert made my stay very enjoyable. On one occasion, I went for a drive with the hostel owner and his two kids to his farm and vegetable patch. When I checked out, the owner arranged for my drive to Aqaba. Decent breakfast which is included in the price. I had a very nice dinner once which cost me 10JOD. The other dinners I had were at one of the Desert camps which I visited two nights in a row (10JOD both times). You are in the village, so there is a number of grocery stores which is helpful if you need snacks and bottled drinks. There is at least one restaurant, the ruins of a small Nabatean temple and a walking trail up to a small water spring/fall close to the hostel, so there are some things that you can do alone. However, much of Wadi Rum requires you to have a local guide. Honestly, there were so many good things to mention but I would need all day to write them here! Fantastic experience for me personally and it was helped by there being awesome fellow guests and a great local community.

A truly standout place in Wadi Rum village Before booking our stay at Wadi Rum Oryx Hostel, we visited several other hostels in the village — and this one clearly stood out. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. The setup is simple but smart, which made our stay very comfortable. The owner is kind and helpful without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. Compared to other options in the area, Oryx Hostel offers great value and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The room was nice and cozy with comfortable bed. For colder days you can use the radiator and for hot ones, there is the air conditioning. Also there is free tea and coffee every time and meals if you request it earlier. There is a small bathroom, but with everything you need. If you have a car you can leave it at the parking lot at the beginning of the village and walk +/- 10 minutes to Oryx Hostel

“Oryx is a perfect base for any extended climbing trips and the rooms have en-suite facilities.”

Oryx hotel is a perfect base for visiting Wadi Rum, and the rooms having air con/ heating plus en-suite facilities sets it apart. The room was large allowing the 2 of us to spread out our considerable climbing equipment. But most of all the staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and the breakfast and dinner excellent. It was so nice to walk in from a days climbing to have a plentiful, tasty, wholesome dinner waiting for us. The owner is well respected in the village and is seemingly related to everyone! but not in any way pushy. It was easy to arrange any trips or tours with genuine local Bedouin people, helping the Wadi Rum community rather than those from outside the area, such as in the nearby ‘camps’. Although my time in Wadi Rum has come to an end, my soul is still in the desert, and I will be back!

Really nice and peaceful place. You can enjoy on the terrace, Use kitchen and the owner can arrange any type of activities you want in the desert.

Nice and calm place in Wadi Rum village. Very good for every climber, near to rock and climbing. Owner is very polite and helpful.

The room was nice and clean. The place has a good vibe.

“Only good for a quick stay”

The placement was alright for just a quick stay. Staff was very pleasent to my partner. They played game for 2-3 hours in the evening I wouldnt Come again but if you only need a place to stay for a night it might be fine..

“Amazing guy, hostel ok”

The owner is a very helpful, funny person. He really made us the best price for the tours we booked. We had two tours with him and his cousin, both amazing. The Hostel itself is nice and the tents have air-conditioning and a nice little bathroom. If you sit at breakfast in the morning you have an amazing view over the mountains.

“Excellent "in the village" lodging”

Comfortable room and beds. Great mountain view from Unit #8 and common area.Easy to find in the village. No pressure to do tours or camel rides. Great alternative to the "in the desert camps".

“A very comfortable, well located, and good value place in Wadi Rum village.”

Would really recommend this hostel if you are wanting to stay in the village. It is really new and everything is well designed, comfy and clean. The owner Ahmed is really helpful and always around to answer any questions or help out. You might get to mean his very cute son too! We had food some nights and that was delicious. There are chairs you can sit in the sun and there is always free tea and coffee available.

“OK if you can manage your expectations.”

Good location. Large rooms with big bath room. Beautiful mountain views.
