هادى جدا ومرتب وجميل
كانت تجربة جديدة بالنسبة لي تدخل مكان الإقامة بدون ماتقابل أحد
التكييف مكيف شباك ويحتاج وقت لتبريد الغرفة وربما الجو الحار في العلا بوجه عام كان السبب الرئيسي
Clean & nice
Very comfortable and organized
Owner and neighbours were nice
The shower was very close to the toilet so wet the whole facility

Apartamento muito completo, com sala, cozinha e banheiro privativo, tendo inclusive máquina de lavar roupa. Achamos bem aconchegante e próximo de restaurantes, mercados e lojas de doces Árabes. O dono sempre muito atencioso, sempre disponível para dicas e dúvidas
Fica próximo dos pontos turísticos, mas precisa se uber para ser locomover(o que já é esperado). A água quente tem limite, mas é normal no deserto. Pagamento só em dinheiro, não foi um problema, só um detalhe
Loved the location. Easy to find. Very comfortable. Good WiFi. It was the perfect spot I needed for one night. The best part was the host who turned into a concierge to secure my entry to an attraction I was interested in seeing. The attention to detail even for a guest that’s staying just a night is what sets this place apart.
Nothing to not like about the place really!
هدو المكان والنظافة ممتازه -
اضائة المكان خفيفه. فقط.

المكان جدا جميل ووجهتي في كل مرة لزيارة العلا تنسيق وديكور المكان وتعامل صاحب المكان جداً رايق
The room is in pristine condition. Host Fatma guides the guests so well, even though the apartment is self-checking.
Cleanliness.. it's spotless.
المكان رائع ونظيف ومريح وجميع متطلبات الضيوف موجودة ،بالأضافةللتعامل الراقي من صاحبة المكان الأخت(فاطمة)لقد كانت قمة الذوق والإهتمام والإستجابة السريعة وتلبية كل مايساهم في راحتنا وسعادتنا،بالإضافة للموقع المناسب والقريب من الخدمات والمواقع السياحية ،👏👏👍👍👍😍😍😍
لايوجد فقد كان المكان مناسب جدا لنا
Quiet, clean, accessible, nearby shops, restaurants, etc. If you’re a runner, it has a full view of beautiful and majestic rock formations, and hills in the neighborhood.
Appartamento accogliente e pulito. La proprietaria è una persona molto affidabile , disponibile e sempre presente in caso si necessita di informazioni. Super consigliato.
مكان مريح وهادئ قريب من الخدمات والمرافق العامه
مريحة ومرتبه وتفتح النفس ترتاح فيها لا ازعاج ولاشي ومكانها حلو
مكان الإقامة مريح جداً واعجبني
Clean and comfortable. Easy check in. We’ve stayed here twice and enjoyed our stay both times. Parking outside
Just need to bring an extension cord for bedroom outlet
Clean and cosy, wifi worked and toiletteries were enough. Host very responsive and lovely.
Fatma and Fahad are exceptional hosts always going the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and get the most out of your stay in AlUla. This place is a gem, and the hosts are dazzling as AlUla. 100% recommended
I highly recommend this accommodation. Fatma is one of the nicest hosts I have ever met. She is always reachable via WhatsApp and she really does everything to help. The apartment was very clean, had everything we needed, and we always found a parking spot right in front of the door.
A lovely apartment on a quiet street, a clean and cozy place. Special thanks to the owner Fatma for always being in touch and helping us greatly with instructions how to get to the apartment, useful tips on local sights, taxi services and so much more. Highly recommended!
Clean and comfy, not the most elegant place yet spacious flat (the room was a good size), in quiet location - very easy to check in and check out + parking on site. Prices in Alula seem to run very high and this was a great option from a price point. Good quality / price ratio. Definitely recommend.
Nothing to complain about!!! Fatma is a very nice person and speaks perfect English, she reacted promptly and positively to every request of support and organized perfectly all the visits to the sites we were interested in. We would like to thank you once again dear 𝓕𝓐𝓣𝓜𝓐!
Super easy
Nice rental in a good location. Being in Alula, one definitely needs a car to move around. It was hard to get a true idea of the size of the room from the pictures on Booking. However, the room was a good size and we had no complaints. Host was there to answer any question via Whatsapp. Prices in Alula seem to run very high and this was a great option from a price point and location point of view. A lot of mid-range places were out of town and having this rental in town meant we only needed a 3-5 min drive to get to places to eat.
Not a big deal but no breakfast served. However, coffee maker was provided in the room. This was a common theme with most of the places available in Alula except for the high end ones. Also, this was fully understandable since this was a rental by the owner so likely not cost effective to cater for 2-3 rentals. However, we located a good bakery close by and made sure to stop by and grab stuff for b'fast.
Host is a very very nice person and speaks perfect English. She reacted promptly and positively to every request of support and organized perfectly all the visits to the sites we were interested in. The driver that we required to Al’Ula Winter for the 2 days of staying in Al’Ula knows in any detail and feature all the area and was able to fulfil any desire of ours. We had with him conversations about any subject. We were very pleased to meet his family in his home. All this was organized by him professionaly and creatively.
Nothing
Good value for money. Fatma is not at the location but always promptly available via WhatsApp for your needs. .if you wish Fatma can organise a car with Fahd to drive you everywhere, so you have the opportunity to experience in staying with local people.
Location is not at walking distance to the key spots, so a car is needed to go around. Uber is a good alternative if you don't have a car, alternatively ask Fatma for a driver
The owner knows to write and send nice polite messages, but that’s all
Very standard, not poor,but basic, accommodation, heavily overpriced, pricing more than 4* hotels. Nousy, shabby equipnent, broken sewage in the bathroom-water ob the floor. I chose this based upon references on Booking. My mistake. Never more. I paid much more, but it was not the crucial issue. I was trying to speak to the owner in person, was refused. The owner used to send me only WhatsApp messages . I don’t really know if exists or it’s maybe AI. Finally, sent me the message to leave cash money in the self check-in box. No invoice, no receipt. Black economy. Local financial authorities should check the activity of this body. Further we spent other nights in Al-Ula in various hotels-cheaper, personal contact with the owner, invoiced. No cash money in the pocket of the owner for such basic overpriced accommodation.
Very comfy room, nice host, help us quite a lot when traveling in AlUla. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, 𝓕𝓐𝓣𝓜𝓐!
None
You can spend thousands of $s a night on hotels in Al’Ula, but there are few available places at moderate cost. This area in the south of the city has character, with the rewarding restaurant Osturi being walkably close. Bedrooms are spacious, and the lounge is super large. It’s not elegant, but the self check in & out is easy and the hostess is attentive if needed.
I would have liked the shower water to be warmer
Comfortable and clean. The host so helpful and responsive to any queries about Alula.
No charging plug next to bed, only 1 per room.
The lady in charge was so nice and professional she kept contacting me to see if we need any thing and making sure we are comfortable that’s a good hospitality
Need a little bit of renovation but over all not bad
The location is perfect. The bed very comfortable.
The towel was ripped, the toilet didn’t flush well. But nothing bad. We enjoyed our stay very much
New and tidy. Very clean
So far so good
Fatma is an amazing host and went out of her way to make sure that I was well looked after during my stay. Apartment was in great shape and clean.
N/A
Spacious flat in quiet location. Responding host. Clean. Parking on site.
The A/C in the bedrooms are on the very noisy side. Kitchen facilities scarce.
We got all information about registration and WiFi. It was easy and comfortable.
The room was simple and normal. But there are no individual slippers, shower gel, shampoo. No cleaning during the stay.
The Apartment had all the necessities.. The hotel manager Fatma was very cooperative and felixble. Really enjoyed my stay here.
Everything was perfect, from the communication with the host to the location and room. Good quality / price ratio. Definitely recommend.
Very easy to check in and check out , Fatma was very helpful , she recommended few restaurants around :) The house is better than in the pics , big rooms , air con working properly , hot water, quite neighbours … She let us check out a little bit later , really appreciate!
You need a car to stay there as it is a little bit far from attractions but I knew it and had no problem at all! I recommend the place very much and would go back !
The property is so calm and clean I like it a lot
The bed is so comfortable. I even ask the owner from where she got it
I’m in love, not necessarily with the apartment but with the host Fatima! Never ever have I stayed at a place where the service has been more than excellent. Not even my friends would have helped me as much at anytime of the day as she did! We wouldn’t manage to get the fully Al Ula experience without her help. I’m so thankful for that. Thank you for make our Al Ula experience unforgettable. The facilities are basic, but all clean and enough. If you do have a car the distance to the old town is not far. We loved our stay so we exactly extended a day! Would definitely stay here again.
Super clean and comfy, the host was tremendously amazing, they were so happy to offer help any time. Check in was clear and easy. Communication was thru messages and they reply back in seconds. The host offer us a free gift to visit 2 places but due to our schedule we couldn’t have the time to do them so to accept their generous gift The neighborhood is quiet.
The excellent communication from Fatma, she had excellent information on the area. Room was clean and welcoming. A great place to stay.
The only thing to improve is maybe having a sign outside with the address numbers in English so it is easier to find
Good location, great host.
"The place is beautiful, clean, and new. The internet is excellent, and there's Netflix available. The owner is very cooperative, and the check-in process is easy and fast. He recommended a trip with Fahad, who took us to all the places in AlUla. I thank him for his hospitality and generosity; it was a very beautiful tour that I highly recommend. He knows the area well, and we saw wonderful landmarks in the mountains. Thanks to Fatimah and Fahad for the wonderful place and everything

Our host was reachable at any time by WhatsApp and offered to book us some local experiences. The location is in the new part of AlUla, very urban, close to a good local restaurant OSTUNI, a laundry, a few super markets and a barber shop.
Comprehensive services, one free tour
Transport was a bit pricey.
Very affordable for the area, Excellent communication with host. Quick to accommodate our needs.
Shower is limited in water pressure.
The property was clean and located conveniently.
It was staying more like in a dungeon. No windows, no natural light and no outside view. Children next door we’re going crazy at the middle of the night.
The checkin and the service was extraordinary. We had a small issue with the room and after a few hours it was solved. On top of that we received a free tour at hegra and she gave us useful information about the area and was available any time Highly recommend to book the appartment
Perfect advance comunication to find the house & key. Great service by Fatima on WA to help discovering Al Ula, thanks a lot!
Need a bit more water pressure in the shower....
Helpful and friendly owner. Comfortable room. Value for money. I would not have seen so much of Al Ula, without the help of the owner.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Alula Winter. The room is very clean and comfortable. I would like to underline the kindness of Fatima who helped us organize our departure by offering us a driver. The hosts were very concerned about our well-being, responsive, caring and professional. Thank you for everything. I recommend this accommodation. There are also many shops nearby and the place is quiet.
Our stay was an absolute blast! The staff were superstars, thank you for all, and the room was great. I can't wait to return for another time!
Great location. Very comfortable furniture. Complete Kitchen. AMAZING landlord! I've never met such an amazing and helpful renter in any of my previous stays anywhere and that's saying alot considering how many there were. The place was beyond expectations with everything you could ever need or want available plus more. The Mrs renting the place kept in contact throughout the stay to make sure everything went as planned lending hand in whatever we needed and I meen EVERYTHING and provided so many services all for absolutely FREE which was exceptionally generous of her. For anyone going to Al Ula for tge first time and nervous about not being find there way around or nervous about how to find a place to stay, please do yourself a favor and book this one. You won't regret it.
Honestly NOTHING.
Place
Water at the facility
Modern facility with two bedrooms and a great living room. Pleasant hosts, welcoming and helping with local advice, tours. Best.
well refurbished, good location, easy to check in and out, truly amazing host.
For the price we were charged, I would have expected the floor to be cleaner and a cleaning service that’s at least every other day.
thank you for the great experience I had in your place. I enjoyed my time at the hotel and every thing was so great and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for the nice work and services you provided for your customers
The staff was so kind-hearted and hospitable. They went to great lengths to offer us the most unique experience.
Good furniture and the owner is very supportive
very old building and located in poor community
