Misfah Old House

We had a delightful stay here. The service was excellent, the staff and owner friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and the hotel has a definite rustic charm. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel is conveniently positioned to explore the nearby terraces and falajs.

Surrounding.

Shall have tv in the room

low value for money.

Notre chambre avait un terrasse avec une très belle vue sur la palmeraie, le lit est confortable. La nourriture est variée et très bonne, au dîner et au petit-déjeuner il y a du choix et de la variété. La salle de restaurant est agréable et ouverte sur la palmeraie.

La salle de bain, très sommaire.

Le diner et le petit dejeuner étaient très bon avec de la variété. Nous étions les seuls dans l'hotel. C'etait agréable d'etre dans cet environnement.

La descente pour aller a l'hotel. On ne pensait pas que c'etait si loin.

Great location and kind staff

The location. The scenic beauty around. The food was good. Homely food.

Außergewöhnliches Essen, liebevolles Personal und wunderschöne Unterkunft.

Die Lage in einer Palmenplantage ist gigantisch. Wir wurden (auch aus Mangel an anderen Gästen wegen der Irankrise) in den Master-Room upgegradet mit Terasse zum Chillen und tollem Blick über das Tal. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet und das Restaurant mit großer Terasse war sehr cool. Die Angestellten haben uns als einzige Gäste mit großem Eifer verwöhnt. Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage.

Als Nicht-Hunde-Liebhaber war der aufdringliche aber harmlose Hund des Anwesens etwas nervig.

A unique traditional Omani house renovated to be a mini village with multiple buildings in the oasis of the most beautiful city in Oman - Misfah. The setting was breathtaking with our Balcony room overlooking date palms, bananas and the sound of the water rushing in and out of the faluj system was relaxing and looking out at the layered mountains of Oman. The food was beyond expectation and was so healthy. Traditional Omani food cooked by the family offered choice and was healthy and full of flavour for both Dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a choice of 3 dishes including the best fish curry i have ever tasted, chicken curry and vegetables all served with trimmings of hommus, fresh Omani bread and salad. Breakfast was dhal and Omani bread (sweet version like crepes) with eggs, yoghurt, cereals, breads etc topped off with Omani coffee (or tea). The staff were like members of the family, the owner came to greet us on the first morning at breakfast and this was extra special. The staff were knowledgeable about everything to do in Misfah. The main hiking trail ran straight next to the property so we used the hotel as a base. We loved the house dog Tali who was the most well mannered dog we have ever come across that did not encroach on our space or jump up and who accompanied us on our three hikes and was the ultimate hiking companion leading us down the trail and leading us to small water ponds. The room was beautiful and the balcony the best part with almost 180o views under the ceiling fans in the excellent rocker chairs each evening. The room has fly screens on the windows which was excellent to keep the wildlife out. The fridge in the room was an added bonus. Checking in is a casual affair with no formal reception, just welcoming in the door of the home and being offered hospitality and rest. There is so much local area reading information in the front room and the ability to buy some local products. Exceptionally clean rooms and outside areas.

We travel light with small backpacks so the 100+ stairs to access the property didn't worry us but someone with mobility issues may struggle and may need to think about why they would want to visit Misfah as everything requires walking stairs and hiking. The staff were more than willing to carry our backpacks and even said they carry guests up and down if the stairs are an issue! It didn't bother us - but like all Omani bathrooms we have seen - the bathroom is a wet room and a little dated so people wanting modern and brand new may be disappointed. There is no TV which didn't bother us as we were enjoying walking and being in nature - but some travellers may want this. I regret not going here earlier and bringing my friends and family to such a beautiful hotel.

Von der Terrasse hat man einen herrlichen Blick. Die Unterkunft liegt wunderschön.

Die Zimmer sind sehr eng. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Das Bad ist etwas veraltet.

Cudowna lokalizacja w gaju palmowym. Super miła obsługa kultywująca długowieczne tradycje rodzinne. Dobrze doradzają wycieczki piesze i zwiedzanie.

Location

Very good location. Very friendly staff.

Das Old House liegt sehr idyllisch im Hang mitten im Palmengarten. Das Old House ist nur zu Fuss über viele Treppen erreichbar. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Essen war authentisch und gut. Unser Zimmer war sauber und die Einrichtung sehr einfach. Mann muss mit Untermieter wie Echsen rechnen. Die vielen Frösche hatten zum Glück keinen Zugang ins Zimmer gefunden.

Die vielen Frösche rund um dad Old House

Posizione bellissima in mezzo al palmeto e al borgo storico Camera piccolina ma molto bella

Prezzo un po’ elevato per la camera e servizio offerto

Le côté typique pittoresque

Tolle Lage inmitten Palmen, Bananenstauden und Papaia.

Lichtanlage ist nicht strukturiert. Immer zu warme Decken. Zu harte Kissen.

Posto meraviglioso

personnel très attentif bons repas copieux

Good old Omani ambience.

Can be run more efficiently and professionally keeping the old world charm. Improvement needed in toilets and electrical fixtures.

Authentic old building in picturesque village, nice roof terrace for dining and sitting out, good food, nice staff

Room was authentic ! very small and dark. Shame roof terrace didn't have some relaxed seating. Either overpriced or priced correctly for heritage experience in old village - you decide !

Felt like an authentic old inn

Some soft seating would be nice

Le cadre est enchanteur : La ghest house est située tout en bas du village, juste au dessus de la palmeraie qui descend jusqu'au wadi. Elle comprend plusieurs maisons. Nous avions une grande chambre avec terrasse donnant sur la palmeraie. Le village est tout petit mais il y a deux très jolies balades à faire, l'une en suivant le sentier descendant dans la palmeraie jusqu'au wadi, l'autre en longeant le wadi pour le remonter. Nous avons séjourné deux nuits et donc pleinement profité de ce jour "off", entre balades et farniente . Le dîner du soir et le petit dej du matin sont sous forme de buffet, très bien. Le personnel de la ghest house est aux petits soins.

Tout était très bien.

Authentieke kamer met mooi uitzicht.

Niets.

La maison dans la palmeraie, le personnel très attentif, le balcon de la chambre.

Les repas très moyens.

Abbiamo molto apprezzato l’originalità della struttura, il cibo semplice ma genuino e la gentilezza dei proprietari.

Chambre très spacieuse avec terrasse et une vue magnifique ! Beaucoup d’escaliers pour accéder à l’hôtel et à la chambre, impossible avec des valises … il faut prendre un sac à dos . Repas bons mais basiques surtout le petit déjeuner.

Parking pas évident et pas expliqué en avance.

L'accueil et le personnel très attentionné. Les pancakes sans gluten particulièrement savoureux du petit déjeuner et spontanément proposés!

Sensationell schöne Lage im Palmenhain.

Tutto

Food was really tasty and the staff were incredible, always going above and beyond - I am very grateful. The location is so magical and the balcony had views which made me so happy. I would recommend Misfah Old House to anyone. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so special

I didn’t like the lights in the room, and I couldn’t get the AC to work as I would have liked.

Die Lage in diesem wunderschönen Dorf ist sehr gut und das Essen ist zwar einfach aber lecker

Sehr abgenutzt und alt , wenn man es sehr sehr einfach möchte dann ist es zu empfehlen

Отличный отель . Очень вкусно накормили , особенно ужин . Было по домашнему вкусно

The vibe of the place is special, full of history and beauty. The location is amazing; a true oasis. The owner was kind and talked to all the guests. The greeting was warm and welcoming. The food delicious.

Food quality and was good

The bed was not comfortable

The ‘garden’ surrounding the hostel

We had a wonderful stay at the Misfah Old House. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast and dinner food were excellent. The view from the terrace into the surrounding area is just astounding and on top of all the service is attentive and gave us tips for activities during our stay.

Hospitality, value for money, staff, the facilities.

Not recommended to take luggage due to stairs taking to the place

Great location, authentic stay, good dinner and breakfast options.

Misfah Old House is an amazing heritage stay in the middle of the village with direct view of wonderful parts of the oasis and mountains. Dinner and breakfast both had a good amount of options, and the rooms were a nice size.

We booked the full apartment with a private bathroom, but they locked us out of one of the rooms in the apartment without explanation - this would have been polite to explain. Despite other comments online, this is not the closest stay to the parking.

We were offered dates and tee on arrival. The house and room was something special and felt very authentic. Green oases and nice view. Tasty dinner and breakfast. The bathroom was shared es mentioned but was clean.

The hotel is not close to any road or parking and we did not know the staff would help us carry them to our room.

Eine authentische Unterkunft in dem alten Dorf mit tollem Ausblick

Nous avons apprécié le lieu insolite et la grande hospitalité du personnel

The old house is in a wonderful setting within the date palms of the village. We were given the choice of a large room with no view or a small room with a balcony and view. Our booking was with a view. I think we were affected by a large tour group which swallowed up our booking. We picked the small room but unfortunately the adjoining room wasn't sound insulated from our room. A huge gap at ceiling height existed. You could hear everything! Management removed the working staff from the adjacent room. We were offered another room for our 2nd night which we accepted.

Dinner, except for a soup offered our 2nd evening, was too western and pretty disappointing. Breakfast okay but nothing special. Expect more for the price.

The room was very nice!

The staff was friendly but not really sharing the story of the city

Beautiful grounds. Even if you don't stay here, spend 45 minutes following the walking trail. The roof-top restaurant is perfect for dinner & breakfast Very nice staff.

Just rather underwhelming. The place is beautiful, and we were led to our room which had lovely, heavy wooden door. However, inside there were basically two mattresses on the floor and a broken hat stand in the corner. It wouldn't take much time or money to improve. A double bed, couple of armchairs, nice lamp, some pictures on the wall and a good clean! It just feels that the owner can't be bothered. The buildings and Misfah itself are magical but the owner seems to feel that this is enough. Dinner and breakfast were fine, but again lacking anything special.

Das Misfah Old House ist eine wirklich traditionelle omanische Unterkunft. Absolut authentisch in toller Umgebung. Das Essen war lecker.

Lovely place, room was clean and big enough, private balcony, good dinner and breakfast. Staff very helpful, even with luggage

It's a bit hard to reach by foot if you have big luggage but staff will help you. Park on the road but if the village is crowded, you might not find space and you have to park 500mt far

Bellissima posizione al centro della vecchia Misfah. Ci è stata data una stanza migliore rispetto alla prenotazione. Con terrazza con stupenda vista. Camera accogliente e spaziosa.

Cena e colazione da rivedere. Ma questo è un problema in quasi tutte le guest house in Oman.

- buffet soir et petit déjeuner copieux - le cadre - la vue

- un peu vétuste - pas de fenêtres (volets en bois) > aucune isolation - salle de bain désuète

Spectacular location, authentic and historic rooms, fabulous village setting, great roof top restaurant from which to take in the views. 100 percent would recommend!

You couldn’t always find someone to help; for example when I needed extra blankets to sleep there was no one around. It is a smaller place though so presumably they can’t have front of house full time, maybe leave a spare blanket in each room instead or request one when you check in?

- Situé dans la palmeraie - Personnel souriant - La literie

- Très difficile d'accès surtout avec des valises (privilégier des sacs) - Le logement laissait à désirer: pas d'équipements, le sol (lino) était vétuste.

Viel Charme an bester Lage in den Dattelpalmen-Terassen mit schöner Aussicht. Freundliches Personal und gutes Buffet. Ein Rundweg für den Terrassen entlang und verschafft einen Einblick in die Bewässerungssysteme. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen!

Lage!!!!

Da es eher kühl war, habe ich gefroren. Zu wenige Decken (?).

It was a magical experience staying in this beautifully restored ,ancient building ,absolutely oozing with atmosphere.It is very well located so that you can explore the village and the fulaj and plantations.Staff are lovely and kind.The buffets are tasty,fresh and plentiful.A real privilege yo stay here !

Beautiful little mountain village that has been renovated into excellent condition. Old house of misfah is the original house, and is a great place to stay. Intricate small paths around the village and excellent views. Highly recommended

Na

It was paradise. All the staff was so welcoming. The room was stunning and the view incredible. Absolutely perfect! Thank you!

An absolutely fantastic location and a room with a lovely balcony and view. Wonderful staff who went out of their way to help and even made us special food.

Nothing, although it could do with some slight updating.

L’emplacement au cœur de la palmeraie

Pas de parking à proximité contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, cela mériterait qq explications supplémentaires. Salle de bains privative un peu glissante!

Très calme, vue magnifique, de l'espace

Rien, en sachant qu'il faut se garer à l'entrée du village.

Prachtig dorp met unieke uitzichten

Hard bed, eten vers en voedzaam maar niet bijzonder

Der Master Bedroom lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Ausblick von eigener Terrasse top.

Amazing location

Amazing room with a balcony, and an amazing view

Tout est très bien par rapport à la catégorie de la guest house

La literie est à revoir

Location and room with balcony.

Warm welcoming. Big room (the upper one) with toilets and shower, big terrace and a fantastic view over the palm trees. Evening buffet with tasty local food especially the soup with pumpkin and white beans and the roasted cauliflower. Refreshing non alcoholic beer available. A special thank to the staff for being so devoted. The place around is stunning, easy hike. You have to be ready to meet many tourists as this guest house is famous in Europe.

The food is amazing!
