Hello Daniel, We are glad you enjoyed the room and the delicious breakfast, which we are proud of, especially that it is completely sourced from Umm Qais village. Beit Al Baraka brings forward the spirit and offers the experience of simple village life, which entails experiencing the things you mentioned. We look forward to welcoming you again in our locations.

What a treat to stay at Beit Al Baraka in Umm Qais. My only regret is that we did not stay for 2 nights. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious Bathroom was fully equipped. Patio was lovely for relaxing in and for eating breakfast surrounded by citrus trees and with a view over the Jordan Valley. And the breakfast...sumptuous with the produce of the region. We had pitas and local honey, jam from local fruits, goat butter, goat cheese, goat yogurt, veggies and, my all-time favourite, shakshuka. What a feast. A fantastic starting point for a day of exploring the ruins or going on a jaunt down to the Valley ( if you don't mind the checkpoints). We were directed to eat dinner at the Romero Group restaurant in the ruins where we had the incomparable Chicken Umm Qais (rest of the menu is quite westernized). That is still a highlight of my menu choices. Next time I will stay for longer!

Pleasant B&B, however a bit overpriced. Tasty breakfast and good heating at night (important during the winter time). A bit hard to find due to a layout of the streets. Short distance to the main street and Roman ruins.

Supremely Phenomenonal
This is literally the guesthouse stay of my dreams. Everyone was tremendously hospitable, the breakfasts were amazing, and the place was so stunning I chose to fantasize that it was my own home. The neighbors were all kind and welcoming, and we did a few of the experiences, which were so fun. We did beekeeping with Yousef which was super interesting and fun, and lunch at Rofidah’s Kitchen which was amongst the top 5 meals of my life. Ah-mad, the tour guide was super passionate, knowledgeable and helpful. Can not recommend this all highly enough. I recommend basing your whole trip around this place.

This place is very special. We loved our visit here—our room had a lovely view of the valley and was fast fully decorated. The living room had local art work, books and a very cozy and elegant feel. More than this our hosts were amazing—we were welcomed with fresh fruit picked from the tree and a fresh lemonade. Our host personally escorted us to set up our cell phones in Jordan and gave us a wonderful restaurant recommendation (the rest house Romeo at the ruins of Umm Qais). In the morning, Ramya presented us with a traditional breakfast which was a real treat. A local guide, Ahmad, dropped by just to say hello and help us with questions about hiking the Jordan Trail—he even took us to the trail head to start our hike. You will feel very safe and welcoming me here—a wonderful cultural experience!

Hello, It is unfortunate you feel this way. Beit Al Baraka is based on shared accommodation to allow people to interact and connect. It is also a village-style house that has the that spirit and architecture. We also continuously do upgrades and renovations to the house according to seasonality and size of renovation work that needs to be done. We have pride of what Umm Qais' local community have achieved so far and continuously thrive to achieve. We will surely take in your input into our consideration. Regards

Huone oli todella kylmä, eikä patteri riittänyt pitämään sitä lämpimänä. Toisaalta ikkunoiden ja talojen eristykset eivät missään päin Jordaniaa ole yhtä hyvät kuin Suomessa.

Bien mais prix élevé pour les prestations
Accueil parfait. Ambiance très sympathique et conviviale. Toutefois la climatisation manque énormément, nous avons eu très chaud la nuit (29° dans la chambre), le ventilateur n'est d'aucune efficacité. Les WC et la salle de bain sont à partager, ce n'est pas à notre goût. Une télé dans l'espace commun serait bienvenue. Le petit-déjeuner était super, très copieux, beaucoup de choses à choix et qualité super. Les confitures sont un délice et les spécialités jordanienne également. Nous nous sommes régalé. Pas de problème pour garer la voiture dans la rue devant la maison. Chambre d'hôtes très proche du site archéologique. Nous avons été très satisfaits de notre nuit à Beit Al Baraka. Toutefois, nous pensons que le prix est élevé par rapport aux prestations fournies et en comparaison aux 20 autres hébergements que nous avons eu au cours de notre mois de séjour en Jordanie.
