FIrst and foremost, we liked the exceptional view. The infinity pool was a plus, as was the breakfast and dinner (half board is the uncomplicated way to go) on the terrace, with a friendly staff, orchestrated by the excellent Francis F.

Location is exceptional with panoramic views, clear cool mountain air and tranquil surroundings. Potential for hiking in the area is unlimited for all capabilities. Well worth the challenging drive up the mountain even possible in a saloon car.
Room has its own outdoor sitting area and firepit.

The bad: The Booking.com description is very misleading. Toilets smell of faeces. There is no pool or anything like it, just an enclosed gravel parking lot. The heat pump doesn’t heat.
The walls of the structure are thin, like a shed. The neighbourhood had construction noises at 6:30am. There is no wi-fi. No TV.
There were no towels (because of covid said the owner). He said he’d bring some but did not. There is only one sheet on the bed, under you, so your skin touches the blanket. Price was high, but most places nearby were even higher. What was notable was how little you get for your money.
The description really must be changed, it is incorrect in so many ways.
The good: The room is big. The kitchen had pots and pans and cooking stove. Parking was inside the locked gated compound. There were two blankets. There were not too many roaches or mosquitoes.
Very close to trailheads. Cafe a 15 min walk uphill.

You get to whole house to yourself, which is really nice. It is fully equipped with enough space for everyone, including a spacious outside area. It is located right next to the start of the Balcony walk, although you don't have a view of the canyon itself, unlike properties surrounding this one.

Amazing location with beautiful view over the mountains. We went for sunrise to do the Jebel Shams Balcony walk and were the first ones on the trek as it starts right at the hotel. In the evening you get a three course Omani meal provided and the breakfast can even be arranged after your hike. The staff is very friendly and helpful to fulfill your wishes and make it a great stay !

The Balcony Rest house is in a superb location on the edge of the Jebel Shams Canyon. We drove in with a 4-wheel drive car, but you could get there in an ordinary car if you took it slowly as only about 7km of the road is unsealed. Either way, you would definitely want to arrive before dark as the roads are not easy to navigate. The room was large with a great view over the canyon and it was convenient to have a kitchen to prepare our meals as there is nowhere close to eat out.

Ali, Alia and their kids were very nice hosts. We ordered dinner and breakfast, which were served in their house behind the appartment in Omani style and were delicious. The guest house is stylish, comfortable with breathtaking view over the canyon. We did the balcony walk right after our afternoon arrival when most hikers were already returning. There was already shadow on the trail, which was great for the walking comfort but a little complication for photography.
Escape to SAMA Heights Resort, a haven of tranquility nestled at the foot of the majestic South Mountain Summit (W4).

Excellent location close to the Balcony Walk. We particularly liked the dinner and its restaurant room, and the breakfast. Its is of course quite a ride to get there.
