The hotel is in an amazing location looking the valley and just a 17min drive from Petra’s main entrance. The staff as amazing, very friendly and helpful. Our bubble’s amenities were amazing, the jacuzzi after a long day hiking was amazing. Both the breakfast and dinner included were amazing, and they even gave us lunchboxes for our drive on our last day!

Overpriced hotel and overrated experience
Absolutely awful value-for-money. The rooms are old and badly maintained, with water damaged flooring, wobbly bathroom fixtures and zero working jacuzzi controls. The jacuzzi, though ready when we arrived, had to be 'activated' again on request the next morning. The breakfast was ok but lacked variety and all hot drinks were from a distributor! The view from the room is beautiful (though a bit obstructed depending on the room you get). I suppose one's experience at the property would have been superb when the hotel was new, but it is now badly in need of renovation. On a side note, the bubble experience (not just at this hotel) has a catch: the constant noise of the air pumps which maintain the bubble's structure. It was excrutiating for me and hardly had any rest.

Good and not so good.
Like other reviews, I have to say that the hotel has amazing views and is a great experience sleeping under the stars. The food was very good and the service excellent. My husband was ill and they took him tea, soup etc. called him to see if he needed anything. The staff was wonderful Unfortunately the accommodations could be improved , even with some small fixes. We did have hand or face towels, nor a bath mat for the shower. The robes appeared old and did not have belts making them difficult to wear. Generally the room construction and finishing was shoddy and could be improved. Minor fixes would change a good experience to a wonderful one.

This hotel exceeded all my expectations, really. First of all, its located in the middle of a desert, so you automatically expect amenities to be lower. I was wrong everytime! From service to food to the rooms itself 10/10. Absolutely stunning place. I usually don't write reviews but the managers deserve this. Well done.

The hotel is located in the middle of the desert, and at night you can enjoy sleep under the moon light. However, the bubbles need some reparations.

The hotel is very unique and picturesque. Hotel check in staff were very welcoming and informative. Dinner and breakfast buffets were excellent with a lot of variety and options. Location was awesome. Downsides: We were expecting to be able to use the private hot tub in the morning prior to check out, however the water had been drained out (nobody told us this would happen). At the evening shisha/hookah party we were greeted by the staff putting the headwrap/"Keffiyehs" on our heads and then upon exiting the event they forced us to pay around $7JOD/$10 USD each for them and would not let us return them. We thought they were putting them on our heads as a gesture and did not realize they would force us to buy them at the end (we had already bought some of these at another tourist site the day before so this was not money well spent). Overall, I would highly recommend the hotel to others visiting the area.

I stayed at this hotel 3 nights. Very interesting concept of hotel.However, must be quite expensive in maintenance, e.g. the plastic tends to break and there are many patches (I counted 20 in my bubble), and those patches obstruct the view of the stars at night. I was surprised that the plumbing was working perfectly. The staff was very attentive, polite, accommodating, especially Indian fellow Guri. Unfortunately, there was leak coming from AC on my head and the bed pillows. It happened twice until Senegal fellow fixed it. 2nd unfortunate: they don't serve alcohol, I guess for a drunk guest coming back to the bubble might be too complicated: close the 1st door before opening the 2nd one.

The best people and stay! From Mr Khalid to Sara to Zerar to Sha'aban and Guri, everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. The bubble felt cold in some places but it was a particularly cold night so there is nothing that could have been done about that. Our overall stay was fantastic, food was very good too and the khaimah with tea and shish was perfect! The kids loveddd having the jacuzzi experience ; it was super hot and just what we needed to warm up on a cold frosty night.. Anwar did our jeep tour in Wadi rum and he was recommended and booked by Sara; what an amazing man he is; so hospitable and kind! Took us on an incredible tour of the desert and also gave us complimentary lunch.. Overall a 10/10 stay! highly recommend it with younger kids as well as teens as we have both.. Thank you Petra Bubble Luxotel for making our stay so memorable :)

A nice concept, but . . .
The concept is good, and we were able to see the stars and the moon through the clear plastic dome of our room. Unfortunately, there was a very, very strong wind both nights of our stay. As a result, it was very noisy, making it difficult to sleep. Moreover, the wind was so strong that the "walls" kept blowing inwards. We changed rooms for the second night, but the second room was only somewhat better. Of course, the hotel management had no control over the weather. On the other hand, the hotel management could control the food (dinner and breakfast), which we thought was o.k. but not great.

The bubble style accommodation with the spa was amazing and the most incredible view What was a disappointment was the buffet food for dinner, they just need to add some grilled kebabs or something Also they should mention you can’t buy wine/beer however you can bring your own The hotel needs to highlight this in their description as there is nowhere to buy wine close by. The girls who work as waiters were fantastic. They are on working visas from Phillipines and are so sweet

Amazing experience
Overall we had an amazing stay at this venue. The private jacuzzi is a perfect setting for a romantic afternoon finished off by sunset over the hills. The staff were extremely friendly and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. the evening entertainment in the Bedouin tent was a nice touch and the staff also made me a cake for my birthday and gave me a bouquet of flowers to give to my partner. Our only comments would be that part of the floor in the interior of the bubbles needs a revamp and the bubbles are also very loud at night if it’s windy. We had very high desert winds that night and it was quite hard to sleep.

Sounds cool but isn't
concept is great but executed very poorly. Room is like a cave during the day until the bubble cover is removed at night; no privacy at night while walking through your room, hot tub was broken, shuttle van was broken, shower leaked all over floor, food was pretty terrible.

Great Views but Needs Improvement
First and foremost, amazing staff- they were very friendly and helpful. However, the bubble was quite old and damaged. There were nails on the patio and when given feedback to the manager, he did not bother to fix it. Shuttle to Petra in the morning was late for 0.5 hour which is terrible since we wanted to get to Petra before the crowd came. Dinner was fantastic but breakfast was definitely not up to standard. I expect coffee not from a machine but from a barista in a hotel like this.
