Milky Way Domes

"This was not a stay, it was an experience. Recommend to consider booking additional attractions like the dinner and dune rides. Breathtaking views. Maybe the food was not amazing for the price, but this is forgivable deep in the dessert. The domes are great and not too hot - nights are cold in the desert anyway. This is one of the deepest places in the desert you can book. Definitely have your own AWD or 4x4 car, our AWD worked well. The ride through the desert highway is a joy in itself."

"Nothing really."

"There are lots of desert camps that offer similar experience and Milky Way Domes has all of them - dune bashing, camel riding, etc. But the unique thing that this camp has which other don't is a stargazing session in the evening with an expert. Hamad was very friendly and knowledgable and gave a great talk about the stars with a cool laser pointer that made it seem like we were in a planetarium. An unforgettable experience I highly recommend."

"The bed was quite hard for my taste - but some people prefer that"

"Such a luxury in the midst of a desert. The staff was very professional. Nice brekfast. Had the best experience with sunset dune bashing and star gazing lying by the swing. Must visit!"

"NA"

"Spectacular location - a good drive into the desert, and you can follow the convoy if you have a 4WD car and not as confident driving in yourself. They give a meeting point and time just before the desert, which is very easy to reach. The hotel is a remote location truly showcasing the tranquillity within the desert, but yet somehow having all the facilities you'd need; food, water, enclosed dome with air conditioning, large bathroom and shower with constant good flow of hot water, tea/coffee making facilities with snacks, and even a bug spray! We opted for dinner which had a good selection, as did breakfast. Lovely night's stay at this perfect spot. Highly recommended"

"N/A - only thing to watch out for is the tyre deflating place that you are taken to before the desert. You aren't charged anything when deflating as I suspect the owners pay for this service, however the shop tell you to come back to the same place the next day/once you are coming back from the desert (you aren't with the convoy on the way back). We went back to the same shop assuming this was part of the service, only to be demanded for money for deflating and inflating the tyres, which posed the question - if I never returned to the place, how will they have been paid for the deflating?! It is small money in the grand scheme of things, but just out of principle we didn't like this approach by the tyre shop. Nothing negative about the hotel itself, but just wanted to highlight to people who may face the same when opting for following the convoy and deflating/inflating tyres. There are plenty of shops that you can get this done from on the way back, and they are all the same price, should you wish to go elsewhere."

"The room was well decorated and a spacious room. We had an amazing dinner for 8 OMR per person. We parked our vehicle at the meeting point which was easy to find and took the pickup vehicle for 25 OMR. Lots of activities to choose from. Overall a great experience!"

"The included breakfast was average. In one of the rooms the water glasses were dirty with a lipstick stain from the previous guests."

"The stay was well managed and enjoyable. The property is clean and maintained well. Plenty of options for activities in the desert. The sunset and sunrise are a treat to watch at this property. Dinner buffet was good. Coffee and dessert were being charged additionally in the buffet dinner, they should have been part of the buffet itself. Breakfast was average."

"Being in the hospitality industry, the manager of the place needs to be more courteous and humble. We were told, if you are late at the meeting point even by 5 mins, noone will be there to guide you. The same message can be delivered in a better tone. The manager was openly gossiping about their opinion about a certain nationality on how they are cheap or their personal experience has been with them and belittling them infront of guests from other countries which I felt was something they need discuss in their meeting rooms not with visiting guests. They did not realize they might already have guests from the same country amongst them listening to the conversation. This was unprofessional."

"Beautiful destination. Friendly staff. Stargazing was a lot of fun. The conversations around the campfire with all the guests were very enjoyable. Breakfast and dinner were also well-organized. I definitely recommend this accommodation."

"This place is really special and definitely a highlight for our trip to Oman. It is good to have a 4x4 to reach it, although the owners can also organize transport instead. The accomodation is great, spacious and very clean and offer great views on the nearby dunes. Do not miss the sunrise over the desert as it can be quite surprising in Winter (no spoilers:) There is a choice of activties on and off site and I strongly recommend dune bashing and sunset view and desert trip on the next day. Food is very good too and the Star gazing is very interesting!"

"Aucun."

"it was spacious, the bed was very big and comfortable."

"toilet seat very close to the wall, 5cm gap from knees to the wall when sitting."

"The staff were amazing and the stargazing activity was eye opening. Dinner buffet was the best meal I have ever eaten in Oman with plenty of options."

"The room was a bit far from the restaurant. Hot water took too long to come when showering. It would be perfect if the price can be slightly lowered."
