One Love Guesthouse & Restaurant

Happy is doing everything in his might to make you feel at home. Visit with no expectations and enjoy the ride. It is perfectly located for a start base for The Valley of the kings.

Do yourself a favor and let Happy pick you up, either from the ferry or anywhere you wish

very nice place. clean rooms good breakfast with great and big walled garden it’s filled with sound of birds, really! also there is roof top with a good view of all around. this place is on the edge of the village and next to fields and close to the river only 100 meters. there are shops and local restaurants near and also they have food here very tasty Egyptian. mr happy who runs the place will surely make you as happy as he made me in my time here. happy holidays!

Could not fault this stay in any way. Right from the moment I landed at 6:30am, Mr Happy had organised a taxi for me, let me check in early, made me tea and breakfast, and had organised a tour for me for the day at a very reasonable price. He continued on meeting every request I had for the duration of my stay. He treats his guests like family and nothing is ever too much of an ask. I have travelled to a lot of hostels, but I have never met a host who was so willing to go above and beyond for his guests. The rooms were super comfortable, clean and quiet. I would 110% recommend this place to anyone visiting Luxor.

For the price, the value is great. A wonderful and friendly host, amazing free breakfast and other meals for a charge, a clean bathroom, and a quiet and relaxing environment. Don't come here if you want to be in the middle of the city but I was looking for a day to relax after a busy week so the more remote location was perfect for me and the host was able to help me book a balloon ride and help me arrange laundry. The value for the price was great!

Only issue would maybe be the remote location because in order to get to a restaurant or any sites it's about a 30 min walk or would require a taxi. It was fine for what I was looking for but just something to keep in mind. Oh and maybe provide soap in the shared bathroom. I had my own so it wasn't a big deal but would be one suggestion.

the silence when you need to get down after an intense stay on the east bank. very friendly hosts. interesting to talk to and experience the egyptian hospitality. also a short trip to the village is worth it in order to relativate the rather pushy and annoying atmosphere of luxor downtown.

Mr. Happy and Achmed are super good, funny and lovely persons. Happy has a really big heart and will let you feel like a home. He was super available and helpful whatever needs we had and let us stay more than the days we have booked at the beginning. He also picked up us at the bus station for free and he let us have breakfast at any time. He spoiled us! He was a really great experience know him and stay at this place. The place is super peaceful and quite with a beautiful garden, confy and chilling space. It's like a little Oasis outside the noisy and frenetic life in Luxor. They're also enlarging the space with two more floors and soon there will be some rooms with a wanderful view on the Nile on which you could see the sunset and sunrise as well (me and my friends saw it from the rooftop when it was still a working progress!) He also can help you to book any tours at a competitive prices. If I'll come back to Luxor, I'll come back here for sure! I really recommend to stay at this place if you want to saving money and you're an easy-going person! And if you want bring some gift to these lovely persons a bottle of whiskey it will be super super appreciated! 😉

The location is absolutely perfect despite of being a bit far from the ferry. You can really chill and disconnect from the craziness of the city in this little oasis. Since you step in, Happy and Ahmed (the hosts) will do whatever needed to make you feel home (which we really appreciate after our last few days in Egypt)! Oh, in addition, breakfast is soooo nice and fulfilling and please, don’t miss the chance to have dinner there. Happy is really a nice chef -we shared cooking knowledge and I’m glad that now my rice will be way tastier! The hostel has like 4 rooms (shared and private) and is under construction since they are building an upper floor and a rooftop so more are about to come. As well as the garden is an amazing spot to relax and get to know the rest of the family-guests. We already miss you!

WiFi it’s not working pretty well but you know, Egyptian style.

Mr Happy and Ahmed were very helpful and cordial. They keep checking if I needed anything. Even helped me out with currency exchange and laundry. Great comfortable stay with clean rooms.

Located in a village on the West bank, away from the hubbub of the city on the East side. Mr. Happy is an excellent host. He and his staff always made sure I was comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. As a single female traveller, I also felt very safe here. The Egyptian breakfast was fresh, delicious and had different varieties everyday. Mr. Happy will also arrange any tour for a very competitive price. If I come back to Luxor, I would happily stay here again!
