Reviewed Jan 22, 2026Mooie locatie boven op een heuveltop.
Goede plek voor de balcony walk.
Prachtige zonsondergang.
Eigenaar Waleed zeer aardig, en reageert supersnel op apps. Diner en ontbijt gemaakt door zijn vrouw werden door Waleed bezorgd, en waren prima.
Verblijf is wat basic, maar zeker niet superslecht zoals in eerdere review beschreven.
Ook de twee kacheltjes kregen de kamer lekker warm.
We hebben op het warm water na verder een prima verblijf gehad, en heerlijk geslapen.
Wij hadden wat weinig warm water in de douche.

Reviewed Jan 18, 2026Price wasn't too high. If you walk out of the property you can have a nice sunset view
The room did not have any towels. Not even for washing hands.
We took the option for food delivered at the property from the owner. However, it was expensive for what it was. The quality was not so good. And the only option was to eat at the table next to your bed.
Location was okay. But still 45 minutes driving to jebel shams with a sedan.
Beds were very uncomfortable and thin. Low quality beds.
The owner wanted to get us a cab for jebel shams because we didn't have 4wd. However, jebel shams is doable with a sedan without 4wd. Offer didn't feel genuine.
Would recommend to pay a higher price for a location closer to jebel shams and better quality.

We met his cousin Hamood, who is a guide. We did two trips with his which were amazing. One was to the top of Jabel Shams which was new to tourists and the other was to Al Nakkar to see the views from the bottom of the canyon. It was really nice and worth doing with him.

Reviewed Dec 26, 2025The apartment is well located, about 1 hour an 15 minuts from Nizwa. With an asphalted road all the way to the house (only the final uphill stretch is unpaved). The views are spectacular, especially at sunrise and sunset.
The host offers homemade Omani food, very tasty and served hot, for an additional fee — highly recommended.
There are no shops or restaurants nearby (at least none that we noticed), so if you don’t plan to order the host’s food or want anything extra, it’s best to arrive with groceries already bought (water, tea, snacks, etc.).

You actually do get a breathtaking sunset view, sunrise unfortunately is blocked by a mountain on the east side. There was a space heater in every room, bathrooms were clean with really good hot water. The patio is great to sit in the evenings after watching the sunset. It's location is just at the bottom of the hill leading up to the main Jabal Shams area which is great as its not in the way of tourists coming and going.
Nothing. It was perfect.

We had a great stay at Sunset View Hill! You have the entire house to yourself, and it's located in a peaceful spot between the mountains. From the house, we walked 2 minutes up the mountain to calmly watch the sunset. It's a 20-30 minute drive to the starting point of the balcony walk, which was manageable without a 4WD.
We were a bit late returning to the house after the walk and couldn’t check out on time, but the host was very understanding and friendly about it! The breakfast was also very delicious.
The host also offered a traditional Omani dinner, but we found it a bit pricey and decided not to do it.

Reviewed Jan 12, 2025Detached villa with parking in a quiet location. Fantastic sunset from the neighbouring hill. The price is a bit high, but we got it at a discount, so ok. Since the tourist business in Oman is still in its formative stages, you should be prepared for the fact that the tap in the kitchen is sticking out of a hole in the wall, there is no adaptor for a European socket, and the air conditioning does not work in winter because it is designed only for cooling (however, in winter it is quite cold at night in this mountainous area). Not a bad breakfast (we got it as a genius)
The pool is closed in the winter. The air conditioning does not work in winter (the owner even took away the remote control). For night heating there is one air heater for 2 rooms. The price for transfer to the beginning of the route W6 to Jebel ash-sham -40 reals - voiced by the host, completely inadequate and discouraged the desire to discuss with him other excursions, as well as the price of dinner - 5 reals per person (given that it was about the risk with chicken, their price in local restaurants in 2-3 times lower). By the way, in order to get to the beginning of W6 is not necessary 4wd, it is enough a normal car with an experienced driver, we got to the nissan kiks0 reals- voiced by the host, completely inadequate and discouraged the desire to discuss with him other excursions.
Very good location to start the
, balcony hike in the early morning. Fantastic view from the property. The owner was very helpful and his wife prepared dinner and breakfast, which was delicious.
The location is nice. Good view from the top behind the property. Please note that this is a remote location. It is not easy to find it; ask the owner to pinpoint it via whatsapp beforehand.
The owner showed us the direction to the building, but didn't come with us. We had to find out ourselves. The rooms are very sparsely decorated. Just two chairs and a small table for two rooms. The warm water tap didn't work, the owner had to turn on a remote pump. The owner offered to bring dinner, which is nice given the remote location without restaurants. But he greatly overcharged us for it (initially 20 rial, managed to get this down). Be certain to agree on a fair price beforehand. Please note that at least in winter time it will be too cold outside to have dinner there, or an early breakfast. But an early breakfast will be difficult nevertheless as 8.00 is already too early for the owner to bring the breakfast.
