Wadi Rum Bubble Luxotel

We stayed in various bubbles in Wadi Rum and this one is overpriced. The food was alright. The staff at reception were too pushy in getting you to book tours. The bubble itself is a unique experience but not comfortable - it is very difficult to control the temperature, either too hot or too cold. The facilities are also dated and some things in and around the bubble need to be repaired.

The price for the jeep tour is not clear. They tell different prices which is not fair. The room price is quite high but there is no toothbrush provided.

Disappointing experience — seclusion, limited services, and hidden costs. To be honest, my stay in Wadi Rum was quite disappointing. Almost everything had an additional fee or charge attached, which felt frustrating and unnecessary. The location itself is very secluded, about a 20-minute drive from the main area, and you’re reliant on the hotel’s scheduled shuttle times. This didn’t align with my plans, and I had to arrange an unsanctioned jeep to leave on time. The bubble tent itself was underwhelming. In the mornings, they cover it due to the heat, which defeats the main appeal — you can’t really enjoy the sunrise or take photos. Food options were limited, and the activities available were few. I also fell ill on the second day for reasons I couldn’t pinpoint, which left me out of commission for 48 hours. Service overall felt a bit transactional, with an element of greed, which didn’t sit well with me. While Wadi Rum itself is undeniably beautiful, the hotel experience here fell far short of expectations.

The hotel is not a 5 star rating. The little details ruins the experience, they only give u 1 keycard which u need to take out to exit the room and shuts electricity off which makes the room super hot, the electric plugs do not all work properly, the room is dirty full of sand and dust which makes breathing a bit uncomfortable. They do not have proper hygienic services like slippers, dental kits, etc… water is free for 2 small bottles and rest is chargeable. The jacuzzi is covered and they do not train you to turn it on and enjoy it. The room hardwood floors are damaged. For the price paid, i had way higher expectations for 280-300$ per night, i expected a much higher experience. The dome is useless since the rooftop see through cover is smudged and you cannot see anything through it, would have preferred a cheaper room rate for such experience but it did not meet the expectations at all. The rooms are not close to reception and in the day moving without a golf cart is a challenge as well.
