Bedouin Garden is a nice place to chill out, rest for a while, do some snorkeling, sit around the pool etc. Because of the distance to the city, don't expect bars or restaurants in the vicinity. The food there was good enough and not that expensive, so a reasonable alternative. Staff was not that friendly or atleast did not really show genuine interest or sympathy. For us it was a nice stopover during our trip through Jordan, but we would not stay there for more than 2-3 days.

Actually we have had a serious problem with the guy at reception., We paid a deposit of €7.66 and we understood that we had only to pay the balance of US $ 86.40. That guy started arguing with us that we were not able to understand the booking conditions and that the deposit of € 7.66 had gone to Hostelworld and not to Bedouin Garden Village. He would not give us the room unless we paid the total amount of US$ 96.00, which was charged to our credit card.

Assets: -clean rooms with comfortable beds -calm area if the city center is too busy for you -lots of space to sunbath or relax, cozy atmosphere Minors: -the showers take some time to warm up and have a very low flow; -also the breakfast is rather poor (especially if staying more days); -and the staff is quite friendly but like all men in Aqaba they can’t keep from staring shamelessly at (your) women -not much choice of restaurants in the area

A welcome break to the rest of Aqaba. Great to be so close to the sea, but it's a bit of a treck getting out of the city itself to the hotel. Hotel itself is nice enough - think I went during a quiet period so it lacked character and atmosphere - but there were communal areas if you wanted to hang out there. The food left a lot to be desired considering how far it was from the rest of the city, but the hotel itself was perfectly fine.

The location is very far from anywhere in Aqaba area. It is necessary to take taxi ..There is absolutely nothing to do as soon it gets dark, unless you just want to stay at the premises. But for a quiet and comfortable time the hostel has a very nice atmosphere and several places to relax in nice surroundings. Rooms are just fine, but bathrooms are cramped and with floors sloping away from drain.

This was a nice place. It's right at the Red Sea, which is good. But be warned that it's pretty isolated otherwise. We spent one afternoon relaxing there by the beach and by e pool at the hotel and it was good.
