Mujib Chalets - Mujib Biosphere Reserve

The exterior of this place looks very nice and the views are unbeatable. There is direct Dead Sea access and all the rooms overlook it - it’s stunning. However, the interior of the rooms are very run down (paint peeling off walls, stains etc. ), which is tolerable when the exterior is as stunning as it is. Where it completely falls apart is the lack of hospitality and the flies. The hosts seemed like we were interrupting their nap, and there wasn’t any friendliness or warmth upon arrival. We asked a few questions about where to get water bottles etc and they just came across really annoyed with basic things like that. There are also really bad flies both at the chalet and the common area without any solution or support given by reception. We couldn’t sit outside at all - they would swarm us everywhere. Had we known we have brought bug spray ourselves but it is very much an issue that the hosts were aware of, and should be prepared to help guests with. The hosts pretty much seem to sit inside to avoid the flies, except we picked this place to be outside overlooking the Dead Sea. The pros are that this place is calm and tranquil, but the cons are the flies and overall unfriendliness from the hosts prevents you from being able to enjoy that tranquility. We checked out within two hours of arrival and did not end up staying the night, but still paid for the room, which is very overpriced for what you’re getting. The standard here is hostel with an epic view. The idea of this place is great, but the execution is really bad.

Stayed here for one night. The main advantage of this camp is the location and direct access to the Dead Sea. The huts/rooms themselves are very basic, built without much attention to detail, and lack coziness or atmosphere. For example, I think cold white lamps are a poor choice for such places (unfortunately, quite common in Jordan).

This place is basic but perfect for what it is. Most rooms face the sea and have sliding glass doors. Room = 5. We were here during a terrible heat wave and our room was cool when we arrived. Comfy beds. Good water pressure and even with the heat we had cold water. ***NOTE there is no water in your room. BYO. Food = 5. Huge dinner. Two of us shared one meal and it was plenty. NOTE dinner was an extra 14 JOD but we were prepared for that. Service = 5 attentive without being annoying. Locations=5 There are stairs down to the VERY ROCKY beach and showers near the beach. Miscellaneous---- if you don't want to take the stairs or don't want a rocky beach, you can go to several public beaches that are about eight minute drive south of there. Those beaches are not quite as rocky and the slope into the water can be a little more gentle, but the walk down to the beach is pretty far.

Probably no better place on the Dead Sea. Completely private, only guests at the beach, good showers with plenty water direct when you exit the salty sea! Great location also with Wadi Mujib in walking distance.

Good sized rooms with a shower with a Dead Sea view. The steps down to the beach are good, but the rocks are hazardous. Large salt covered rocks make getting in and out of the water very difficult. It needs a safe entry point into the water. The hotel is found down an unmade rocky road. Meals need to be taken in the hotel, the food is good. The resort is under development and will be good when finished.

This was the only place that we stayed in Jordan where we seriously contemplated going to find another hotel after we had checked in. The staff don't seem to care about the place and have a standoffish attitude. The drive off the highway towards the chalets forces you to go through a gated, derelict looking compound with a VERY rocky off road path which was really unexpected. But the worst part are the chalets. They are really really run down. The amenities were bad, like two tiny body wash and one tiny conditioner with no shampoo, no hairdryer and towels which were hard as a rock and felt like sandpaper. We didn't dare to drink the provided drinking water in the refillable glass jar because it was green. The cleanliness was not good because there were no fewer than 20 flies stuck to the glass when we first entered the room and we spent our first half an hour in there chasing them all out. There is no floor space for luggage and nowhere to put the luggage up. It is not a walking distance from the Wadi Mujib adventure centre (which was a great experience) because the weird uphill compound is in between so you have to drive there anyway. The only positive thing was that we spent only one night there and we could leave early in the morning. I would recommend finding anywhere else to stay instead of this

We had a wonderful experience at Mujib Chalets. The staff provided friendly and attentive service, and the stunning views were unforgettable. The easy access to a beautiful beach with unique red-colored stones made our stay even more special – a sight we didn’t find at any other beach along the Dead Sea. The breakfast was perfect, and we truly enjoyed our interactions with the warm and welcoming local staff. Booking was only available one month in advance, but it was absolutely worth it. We will definitely recommend Mujib Chalets to others and hope to return in the future!

This was one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed. The chalets had giant glass doors overlooking the Dead Sea and the atmosphere was stunning. Meals were served in a communal fashion which allowed us to meet some cool people from all over the world. The beach access was unreal- very private and serene. If I ever come back to Jordan I will definitely be staying here again!
