Beit Al Baraka

Excellent and copious breakfast, all home-made including delicious jams, with a wide range of typical Jordanian choices. Delightful friendly staff. Comfortable lounge in an interesting and pleasing style. Terrace and garden with a variety of citrus trees. And just a short walk to the wonderful Umm Qais site.

the staff and the offerings of interfacing with locals was wonderful. we enjoyed a dinner with a local family and a tour of the ruins with a local that had been raised at the ancient site.

great opportunity to stay comfortably immersed in a small northern Jordanian town. Great community program makes it easy to hire guide or try many activities, all logistics managed seamlessly thru hotel. Be sure to avail yourself of dinner in a local home, very warm, positive experience!

The ladies that served and produced food were charming and the food was beautifully presented and delicious local cuisine. The room was pleasant and clean with beautiful white linen. The house is traditional and has its own charm but is not therefore modern. The plumbing and bathroom were fine and the owners have taken alot of trouble to provide a quirky local house which makes a nice difference from standard modern hotels. The location is brilliant for Umm Qais ruins. We did not use any if their offered services such as cooking classes so cannot comment on these.

We had the two rooms in the flat downstairs which were comfortable and interestingly decorated with great photos of the area. They did smell a little fusty but were spotlessly clean. The electric wiring is not very modern but there are charging points for phones. The lamp in the second bedroom could not be plugged in. You can hear local people outside the room at night but the house is located centrally in the village so this is to be expected and we fell asleep anyway!
