Helpful and polite staff
Nice pool and hiking trails
Generally good cleanliness and tranquil atmosphere
Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Generally praised: multiple guests noted good cleanliness and tidy rooms/pool. One report mentioned dirty sheets placed on a bed, so occasional lapses observed.
Service
9.8
Staff repeatedly described as helpful, polite and respectful; small service misstep noted (anniversary cake was charged), but overall interaction quality is strong.
Location
9.7
Outstanding views and peaceful, scenic setting consistently highlighted. Accessibility is an issue (rough mountain road, 4x4 recommended), but the scenery is the property's main strength.
Room Quality
8.5
Cabins described as private and spacious and were a highlight for many. Some negatives: a specific room exposed to the restaurant and at least one guest reported bedding issues.
Amenities
9.1
Strong amenities: beautiful infinity pool, hiking trails and tranquil outdoor spaces. Some functional issues: pool was reported too cold, limited shaded seating and few poolside activities.
Value for Money
5.8
Multiple guests felt the price did not match the offering, especially given the poor/limited food options and the property's isolation limiting alternatives.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Consistently the weakest area: guests reported limited choices, low quality, overpriced dishes and heavily spiced/Indian-focused buffet that many found unsuitable.
Overall Experience
7.9
Many guests enjoyed the views, privacy and pool, and described stays as pleasant; however, poor food, limited dining options and accessibility issues tempered the overall satisfaction.

Wenn "a view" einfach nicht reicht!
Pros:

Die Aussicht war sehr schön.

Cons:

Die positiven Bewertungen sind absolut nicht glaubwürdig: wir kamen an und wurden in einer überhitzten Lobby empfangen, dann kam das Zimmer: man hätte Putzmittel mitbringen sollen, der Toilettendeckel war so verdreckt, dass selbst das Reinigen mit Desinfektion nicht half, zerrissene Handtücher... Wir zahlten für ein dprftiges Abendessen10 Rial pro Person ohne Getränk. Da wird schamlos ausgenutzt, dass man die 4km offroad nicht für ein Abendessen fahren möchte. Zu guter letzt hat sich der Preis für eine Massage von 42 auf 60 Rial erhöht. Wir sind regelmäßig in Oman unterwegs, aber so etwas haben wir noch nie erlebt!

Great view but it was a shame that pool was not cleaned and we had to get out of it just after few mins. It was slippery

لا بأس به
Pros:

الإطلالة رائعة وهدوء المكان أجمل ما في الأمر. الموظفون متعاونون ولطفاء المعشر. بشكل عام التجربة كانت مرضية والمكان يستحق الزيارة مرة واحدة كتجربة لن تتكرر.

Cons:

الوصول إلى الفندق يحتاج إلى سيارة دفع رباعي كون الطريق وعرة.
الطعام الذي يوفره الفندق باهض الثمن ورديء وغير طازج، وكون المكان منعزل فإن الحصول على خيارات أخرى للغداء أو العشاء متعسرة.

Valley Views
Pros:

Amazing view from the top, peaceful breakfast, and dinner under the stars.Great hiking trails and beautiful infinity pool.

Cons:

The pool was too cold. It needs to be temperature controlled. More shaded seating options are needed, and more activities around the pool are needed.

ماشي غير المنظر الحميل والباقي كان عبارة عن تجربة سيئة
Pros:

المنظر جميل

Cons:

ثلثلي الطريق الجبلي غير معبد وكذلك لا يوجد مكان قريب للاكل الا عند طريق الفندق .. خيارات الافطار والعشاء التي جربتها محدوده حدا عباره عن 4 اصناف في كل وجبة والاكل من المطبخ الهندي الذي لا اتقبله جدا .. كذلك عدم الاهتمام بنضافة الملاءات مستحيل لم يلاحظوا انها وسخة اثناء وضعها على السرير .. نصيحة لا تسكنوا في رقم 5 لانها مكشوفه على المطعم ما بتاخذون راحتكم فيها

Pros:

The view was absolutely beautiful and was the highlight of our stay.

Cons:

The restaurant food was average. It was acceptable, but nothing particularly memorable or outstanding.

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and my husband informed the hotel in advance. A cake was arranged, but we were surprised that it was charged separately. We had expected it to be a complimentary gesture for such a special occasion.
