The homestay is especially close to the sights; you can walk to Nidzwa Castle and the market. The owner is very nice and drove me to the Bachla Fortress (for a fee). He helped me negotiate tickets at a fair price and took me to the foreign exchange office and the supermarket. The owner has two adorable sons; the eldest gave me an apple. The female host was also friendly and helpful. Even though the language barrier existed, the goodwill was clear. The homestay offers good value for the price. The only issue was that the Wi‑Fi disappeared when I returned at night after finishing my shower, and I was too lazy to call the host again.

“Woderful Green island in old Nizwa”

The place is simply amazing: a green, quiet island with palm and papaya trees, the old city wall, and a tower on the property, all just three minutes from the center of old Nizwa. The room is nice, with many lights to create a comfortable atmosphere, a well‑equipped small kitchen, and a great outdoor seating area. The host was wonderful, picking us up when we had trouble finding the place and doing everything possible to make our stay memorable. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

“Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders auch für Alleinreisende.”

The place is great, though not in the historic center; every attraction is reachable on foot in just a few minutes. The host was incredibly helpful and courteous, assisting me a lot with planning and carrying out excursions.

“Great stay, will come back!”

The property was neat, clean, and well maintained. The host was very kind, met us near Nizwa fort to show the place, prepared Kawah for us in the morning, handed us a packet of Omani dates, and generally went out of his way to keep us comfortable. The only downside is that you have to walk through narrow lanes to get to the property, and parking can be tight if you have a 4x4, like we did—though it’s still manageable.

“Ok aber nicht zu empfehlen.”

The location is good and the price is reasonable; the owner was friendly and reachable digitally right from the start. The mattress was as hard as stone—definitely the worst night of our trip. A construction site in the back yard caused noise from the early morning, and a rooster crowed continuously all night. There was also no hair dryer in the room.
