Here’s my reasons: we were jet lagged and so sleep at the “correct” time was a struggle. Also, this is a Bedouin camp and so you have to have realistic expectations. Here are some of the things we didn’t like: the lighting was very limited, there was NO hot water, the bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed, there were loud barking dogs all night. Here are some positive things: the camp helped us arrange a Jeep tour when we arrived (and started within 15 min), the staff were fine, but had very limited English, the dinner was generous and traditional and reasonably priced. My family wouldn’t want to do a camp stay again, but I’d suggest a more traditional one instead for a more traditional experience (although running water and a toilet ARE really nice and important to some)! ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### JEAN CHARLES Oct 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### JEAN CHARLES Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### KC Oct 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### No welcome First of all, I wrote in to inquire about 4\*4 drive prior to stay and a reply came with rates and I replied if one need to book in advance and there was no reply till the day I checked in. In the booking confirmation, it did state there is no receptionist so on the day of check in there was no one. Then, someone came to counter and ask for name etc. I showed the booking. NO registration done and I was asked "room, breakfast, go?" and was given key and taken to tent. There was no welcoming feeling nor info regarding the camp - what is there and what to do. There was no drinking water in the tent. Later, I came out and noted nothing around the area. Groups of tourists arrived and the staff were busy welcoming them. Next morning, I had my breakfast and left. They say there is WiFi but there was no WiFi in the tent and only after midnight did I receive any WiFi signal. The tent was clean and room comfortable but only with a dingy light - one cannot read properly inside the room. Next morning handed over the key and checked out. Disappointing stay. ##### KC Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### sebastien Sep 29, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Moyen moyen pour le prix annoncé...le personnel est toujours de bon humeur et au petit soin ça rassure.repas délicieux...la chambre du plus rudimentaire...les draps grattent un peu...la douche froide...n accepte que du cash..vu le nombres de touristes ils pourraient accepter la carte Visa.et dans le village sale (pourrait être ravivé car tous les touristes passent par là et pourraient s y arrêter mais non trop sale.).. 1 seul ATM qui ne fonctionnait pas..super galère.Bref au porte du désert..c est à faire mais un peu cher à mon goût pour la qualité globale... ##### sebastien Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great spot and amenities considering the "camp" like feeling. Dinners were excellent and highly recommended. The managers and staff were friendly and helpful in setting up excursions into the desert. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the Bedouin hospitality of this place, which is currently upgrading and will likely be even better soon. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful stay in Bedouin tents under the stars The decor was very nice and we felt like we had an authentic Bedouin experience. Sitting at the fireplace in the evening and drinking tea in the calm desert is very soothing. Food was very good, good variety of dishes. We found it a very good value for our money. The accommodations are very conformable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Santiago Nov 17, 2018 Liked: Room comfort #### Muy bueno Muy bien recomendable ##### Santiago Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 23, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Excellent hospitality Excellent hospitality of the Bedouin people. Excellent food and attention. You could implement the comfort of the rooms by putting cross ventilation by increasing a window to the opposite side of the existing one so that there is air circulation and to avoid the rooms being so hot in summer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice camp and well organized My guide Hassan made my stay extremely comfortable. Everything was arranged smoothly from the tours to breakfast/dinner. The camp also looked more elaborate than the other ones that I saw. I would definitely come back to the Captain's camp. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### YUHUI, Taiwan Jun 1, 2016 Disliked: Room comfort #### An unique experience The tent is extremely simple, No WIFI and electricity only comes after 7 pm. Although there's mosquito net but it didn't work. The extra paid tour arranged by hotel to desert is amazing, it's a must. The dinner is extra paid buffet and there's live traditional music and dancing, it was fun. Overall it's a good experience. ##### YUHUI ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lars Oct 24, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Expensive tourist trap in Wadi Rum Totally faux "genuine Bedouin camp experience". The so-called Bedouin tents were a concrete structure with some carpet material stapled on. We had "de-luxe" rooms including bathroom and shower. Also extremely primitive, with the toilet seat falling off, and the shower only had cold water. The room itself was dirty, with the cloth covering the walls full of stains. And at night it was stiflingly hot after heating up all day, and no fan provided to move the air. To get a minimum of sleep it was necessary to open the door which helped a little, but also gave free entry to the mosquitoes which the net (which was placed to the side of the bed, so it didn't reach the floor on one side) couldn't keep out. So when we finally could get up, all of us had body and face completely eaten by mosquitoes, and the legs by bed bugs. The bed itself is terrible, with worn out mattresses, and dirty, worn linen. If this had been really cheap, I would have accepted some - or maybe even all of it (the stuff you deal with when camping) - but this room was more expensive than the five star resort room in Aqaba, so you do expect a minimum of a standard. Also the promised "zarb", heavily advertised as part of the experience on the Captain's on web-site never materialized. Dinner was badly barbecued meat (especially the chicken slice was really overcooked and dry) with decent side dishes. Breakfast was OK, and no more. On the positive side. Wadi Rum. Absolutely stunning desert landscape. ##### Lars ### 10/10 Excellent #### Di, australia Apr 17, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This is the original camp and undoubtedly the best We stayed 2 days and 2 nights which gave us time to settle in, relax and feel like we got to know the place a bit. Tents are all secure, and the property is very well kept. Bathrooms are basic but clean. Showers have hot water, although it pays to check your timing as Power is from solar energy, and a large tour group will use up a lot at a time. Beds are firm and comfortable with loads of warm blankets as the nights can get cold. Staff are exceptionally nice. They are friendly without being intrusive, always courteous and attentive. English is widely understood and pretty well spoken by most. We are especially thankful to the owner Osama, and his brother Rafiq who manages the site, for their wonderful hospitality and generosity, they really made our stay the highlight of our trip to Jordan. There's music by Mohammed Ali and friends at night which adds beautifully to the atmosphere, and a warm fire to sit by for coffee. We also recommend taking a camel ride at sunset. The driver is great fun . Our special thanks to all the staff, and as mentioned especially Rafiq and Osama for a wonderful stay in the Wadi Rum desert. ##### Di ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 23, 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly staff, unfriendly mosquitoes...... Take your mosquito spray with you and a sleeping bag liner, big viscious mosquitoes & dirty bedding. Other than that a great night of food and entertainment, wonderful scenery. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tel Aviv, Israel, Yohanan Apr 22, 2014 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Not a good place We did not like Captain's desert camp. A place made for groups and when we arrived there was a group of very loud Spanish tourists which made the experience very unpleasant. The food is terrible (especially the breakfast) and the bed has a mattress that caused back pain. The overall disappointment is that this is an extremely touristy place which gives zero desert experience with Bedouins who act for the tourists. When we arrived it was when we found out that our credit card was not charged by hotels.com and that we need to pay cash. This was an unpleasant surprise as we had not had enough cash with us for this and no Internet to check if we are not being double charged. The manager who came to talk and explain it to us was very rude and it killed our mood for the night and for the whole visit. We decided not to buy any activities from them and just walked Wadi Rum by foot following the Jeep tour path and this was the best hike we had in Jordan. ##### Tel Aviv, Israel ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 23, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic!

Friendly people. But remember you are in a dessert and sleeping in a tent so there is lots of dust.
