Guest Reviews

• cyril (8/5): Au calme ,reposant - La propreté ,l’accueil
• HIROKO (7/5): - 島の落ち着いたエリアに泊まれる！素敵な屋上テラス、美味しい朝食。 オーナー夫婦は最初からとても親切だったのですが、チェックアウト時に、払ったはずの品物の代金を払っていないと言われ、払ったことを説明したら旦那さんは機嫌が悪かったのか奥さん諸共怒鳴られました。
• Edward (10/5): -
• rene (6/5): - While the establishment claims a Nubian-inspired style, it is significantly in need of maintenance—particularly regarding the sanitary facilities, which are subpar. The interior furnishings of the room are similarly lacking. Overall, the current condition by no means justifies the room rate charged.
• Noto (9/5): 癒し - うるさい街から離れ、静かと綺麗な景色、平和をかんじれます。　部屋もきれいにしてくれるし、キッチンも使えて、フレンドリーで過ごした安くて、延泊して合計10日間いた
• Lucio (10/5): Linda y acogedora casa con un excepcional anfitrión - Como puse en mi comentario anterior: la casa es muy linda y acogedora en un entorno atmósferico y unico. Tiene vistas hermosas al Nilo. Tiene excelente WIFI y agua siempre caliente en la ducha. Pero lo que mas destaca es su anfitrión, Moustafa, que es una persona muy amable, siempre dispuesta a ayudar con cualquier problema y encontrar soluciones, tours y transportes a precios justos. Su paseo en lancha por el río fue hermoso. Hace ricos desayunos y está siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Te hace sentir como en casa. Mencion especial para Ashraf, conductor recomendado por Moustafa para llevarnos a Marsa Alam: el viaje fue excelente y el precio fue justo. Nada. No tenemos ninguna queja
• Lucio (10/5): Muy linda casa con vista al Nilo con un anfitrión excepcional - Es un lugar muy lindo en un entorno muy unico y atmosferico. Tiene una vista hermosa desde la terraza, donde se puede ver el Nilo mientras se toma un té o café. La propiedad es linda, comoda y limpia. Pero lo que sin dudas se destaca más es la excelente atención de Mustafa, que te hace sentir en tu casa, prepara ricos desayunos, hace un espectacular tour en lancha y además ayuda en todo lo que uno necesite. Mustafa tiene una solución para todo, consigue transportes a precios justos, y conoce los mejores lugares de la isla. Realmente hizo que nuestra estadia sea relajada y nos ayudo en todo. Nada. No tenemos ninguna queja
• Praveena (8/5): Peaceful and enjoyable stay ! - The location is great, on the western side of the island and it is peaceful away from chaos. The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. They have rooftop with a nice view of the Nile and the sunset. The host Mustafa is kind and relaxed. We went on a boat ride with him, he showed us all the nice spots to see the birds and a bit of Aswan history. He also organised our trip to Abu Simbel and transfer to Luxor and there were no hidden fees. He has a little shop if you need to buy water or little bits. The guest house was a bit difficult to find but we enjoyed getting lost in Elephantine Island and finding our way back as you can experience the local life and everyone knows Mustafa from Nubian Life Nile View ! Nothing to say
• Nathalie (8/5): Authentique - Une authentique maison Nubienne dans le coin le plus calme de l'île éléphantine. C'est simple mais propre. Mustafa est adorable et fait tout pour que ses hôtes se sentent bien. La salle de bain n'est pas directement dans la chambre mais elle est quand même privative. C'est un peu déroutant au début.
• Milena (9/5): - Lokalita, pláž V pokoji chybí lepší osvětlení.
• Philippe (9/5): Exceptionnel et unique - Tout ! L'accueil, l'hospitalité de Mustafa et sa femme, le lieu, la vue, le repas, la demi journée avec Mustafa et son bateau au Village Nubien et ses à côtés.... Vraiment un Très bon séjour. Accès facile que ce soit avec le ferry ou avec le bateau de Mustafa Pour ne pas dire RIEN la WiFi un peu fleigmarde.
• Nadia (10/5): A truly special and genuine stay. - The location is very quiet, with a lovely atmosphere and exceptional hosts. Ahmed went above and beyond to help us recover my husband’s phone, which was lost at the airport. I also lost a small wallet with money—most likely when stepping off the boat—and someone from the village found it and returned it to me, which says so much about the honesty and kindness of the local community. Ahmed’s wife prepared a delicious breakfast for us, Ahmed took us on a beautiful boat trip around the area, and he even arranged a private car to take us to Luxor. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay somewhere truly genuine, local, and welcoming. It was an unforgettable experience Everything was perfect 🙏🏻
• silvia (10/5): Perfect accommodation in Paradise - The room was perfect: clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need: fridge, AC, hot-water shower, and a TV. The location is amazing, right on the Nile with a beautiful rooftop to relax on. What truly makes this place special is the owner, Mustafa, and his wife. They make you feel genuinely welcome from the very first moment. Their breakfast is delicious and fairly priced, and you must go on a sunset felucca ride with Mustafa, it’s an unforgettable experience. He also offers motorboat tours; we didn’t have time to try them, which just gives us a good excuse to come back. He can even help arrange your Abu Simbel trip or any other transportation at a very fair price. This spot is a little corner of paradise in beautiful Aswan. Don’t stay in the busy city, come straight to Elephantine Island. You’ll find peace, kindness, and a true escape from the traffic and noise of Egypt.
• Matthias Markus (9/5): Extremely beautiful views and very kind host (Mustafa). Highly recommend compared to Hotels in this area if you are look -
• Claude (9/5): Très bien - Le séjour dans la guest house était très bien. Mustafa et sa femme sont acceuillants, il peut venir vous chercher avec son bateau ce qui évite les 20 minutes de marches entre le port et la guest house. Petit dej correct. Repas très bon mais peut être un peu cher, environ 9€ par personne. Rien
• tianyang (1/5): 体验感很差 - 位置位于象岛，远离市区。 1.店家提供的独立卫生间位于房间外的走廊里，并不在房间内；2.酒店不含早餐，服务员主动问是否要咖啡，住客在询问服务员价格后，明确表示不需要，但服务员直接将咖啡端进房间，虽然再次表示不需要，但服务员仍要求付款（存在强制消费）；3售卖咖啡后，因过热不能立即饮用，服务员晚上一直堵在门口要求立即把杯子还回去；4.服务员经常会站在门口看是否开空调，没有隐私性，房间门掩着时不停的对住客强调“开空调时要关门”；5.位置离坐船的地点较远，多是乡间小路，没有路灯，不建议女生一个人入住。
• STAVROS (9/5): - Καλοί άνθρωποι σε περιβάλλον οικογένειας, σέ ένα ήσυχο και γραφικό χωριό. Η Ελεφαντινη είναι πολύ όμορφο νησάκι. Όλα ήταν εντάξει.
• Mouilhayrat (9/5): - Mustapha et sa femme ont tout fait pour que notre voyage se passe au mieux. Nous avons eu plusieurs modifications de dernière minute sur nos vols avant d arriver, ainsi qu une annulation de croisière et ils se sont adaptés pour nous aider à réorganiser notre planning. Mustapha propose aussi des balades en bateau très sympathiques. Très bon petit déjeuner et endroit très calme.
• Sten (10/5): If you want to truly rest and relax in Egypt, this is THE place - This was one of my favourite places in Egypt. After some time in big chaotic cities with their constant traffic, arriving on Elephantine Island I felt the stress levels drop dramatically. And the best part of the island is its western shore, where Mustafa's guesthouse is. It is so quiet and peaceful here, and you can view the holy silence of the sparsely populated desert on the other side of the Nile. Mustafa himself is such a calm, kind and relaxed man, it was always a pleasure to have his presence. He was ready to open his little shop whenever I needed something, and took me across the Nile, where I walked to St Simeon monastery and some Nubian villages - much better than Abu Simbel or Philae! There are enough temples already in Luxor - here it is better to take it easy like the Nubians. Mustafa also taught me some Nubian words and organized me breakfast in the neighbouring guesthouse. The room was very pretty with nice colors and aircon to blow the Aswan heat away. And needless to say, there is ABSOLUTE silence in the night. Cant recommend this place enough - go and see for yourself!
• Bohn (10/5): -
• SERGIO (9/5): Bella esperienza ad Assuan nella pace dell’Isola Elefantina - Posizione decentrata sull’isola Elefantina, ottima scelta per chi vuole tranquillità e un’atmosfera genuina di Assuan. Il padrone di casa ci ha aiutato nell’organizzare la gita ad Abu Simbel ed è stato sempre molto gentile con noi. Bella la terrazza sul tetto dal quale si gode un delizioso panorama sul Nilo. Camere confortevoli e struttura molto pulita.
• enio89 (10/5): - Bella casa con terrazza vista Nilo rilassatissima. WiFi veloce e Mostafa ed i suoi amici moooolto friendly!!
• Arias Rivera (10/5): - En lugar es típico y muy lindo, te sientes como en casa. El casero y su esposa son personas muy agradables Todo estuvo bien, me encanta q es un lugar en dónde respiras paz
• Erica (10/5): Meraviglioso soggiorno a Nubian Life - L'accoglienza che ci hanno riservato è stata fantastica! Mustafa e sua moglie sono stati veramente disponibili e gentili, ci hanno preparato delle colazioni e dei pasti davvero buonissimi, Mustafa ci ha fatto fare un tour al villaggio Nubiano e ci ha fatto passare una mattinata fantastica. Consiglio molto questo alloggio, la stanza ha tutto il necessario ed è grande e accogliente. Mustafa saprà aiutarvi e darvi consigli per qualsiasi cosa. Grazie ancora!
• Bev (10/5): - The guest house was so traditional and colourful the husband and wife looked after me amazingly she got up very early to cook me a traditional Egyptian breakfast she was so lovely and kind. Nothing i loved to experience the true Nubian life style the accommodation was so quaint.
• Simon (9/5): -
• Omar Mehaisin (9/5): Cozy room, breathtaking roof - Very cozy place, LOVED the view from the roof, it was breathtaking. The place is clean and comfy, and it met every need we had
• Román (9/5): The owners are so kind and the Nile boat trip - Mustafa, and his wife, were kindly and take care for us. The Nilo boat trip was incredible. Good point to travel to see Abu Simbel
• Orianne (10/5): Best place on the island - What's not to like, the property is in good condition and set away from the main ferry port. It's very quiet and the owner offers a private shuttle using his own boat, excellent. You can Also take this to the nubian villages further south. The room was great and met our expectations and requirements, the food was good and fresh each and every morning. There is a small shop onsite for snacks and drinks and the prices are more than reasonable. The main plus is the owners, it's run by a family and they are warm and kindz couldn't ask for better hosts. Pro tip ask them for a trip on their sale boat.
• سياف (1/5): -
• Teng (10/5): Comfortable. Worth every penny I spent 😀 - The room was very clean and quiet, with strong air conditioning and fast WiFi — honestly faster than most of the expensive hotels we stayed at in Egypt. The bathroom was spacious and clean, with plenty of hot water available at all times. Everything you’d want from a cozy and relaxing place to stay, you can find right here. N/A
• Ana (10/5): A home away from home in Aswan, with dear Mustafa and his family - Mustafa made our trip to Aswan. He is a great host and very hospitable, and we felt very loved during our stay. The family is wonderful, his brother Siko is also a great company, and his wife is a wonderful cook that prepared amazing fresh fish and breakfast every day. All our trips were organized with Mustafa on his various boats, and we were able to go places we didn't even imagine. The memories of the days in Elephantine will feed our wistfulness until we are able to return. The rooms were big, clean and super comfortable, very well equiped. The rooftop is the crown jewel, with the amazing views, privacy and good vibes in general, we loved spending some mornings and evenings there. With the help of Mustafa, we got to see wonderful hidden things in Aswan on the great boat rides he would take us; we visited the Nubian Village, walked around and met great people; we tried the amazing nubian coffee and got a sense of a slow paced life on the shores of the Nile. A very big and warm thank you to Mustafa and his family for making this trip to Aswan the highlight of our trip to Egypt. It will definitely stay with us for a long time and we will return to his lovely home as soon as we get a chance. Everything was amazing!
• Fariyal (10/5): Gem 💎 - The location was quiet with a beautiful view of the Nile. Although it was hot there was a lovely breeze that made it more comfortable ...possibly due the open space and location of the hotel. Mustafa and Manaan are very friendly, hospitable and will go out of their way to help. The place was very clean. Mustafa has a boat and he can take you around the various islands and on excursions. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend their place.
• Denis (10/5): Lovely guesthouse - Even though we arrived late at night, we were welcomed with open arms. Mustafa and his family are truly wonderful; kind, warm, and incredibly hospitable. From the very first moment, we felt at home, embraced by their generosity and kindness. Leaving was heartbreaking; we wished we could have stayed much longer. This place and these people will always have a special place in our hearts. We truly hope to return one day and experience their warmth all over again!
• Diana (9/5): Peaceful guesthouse with gorgeous views - Great value for price. Roof terrace is large with lots of seating and a gorgeous view over the Nile. Room was quiet and spacious. Shower was hot with good water pressure - hard to find! And Elephantine Island is a peaceful respite from the honking and activity in Aswan. Breakfast (additional charge) was plentiful and delicious. Mustafa can speak English well with a peaceful demeanor. Guesthouse was difficult to find (not labeled on Google Maps correctly). There was miscommunication regarding the initial private boat ride to the guesthouse. It can be provided but for an additional charge.
• Leonie (10/5): Wonderful - Mustafa made our trio in elephant tee wonderfrrfuk. Thank you for every thing. I recommend !
• Paulo (10/5): We are very welcomed and Mustafa and his family are very nice and kind with us - Nice view nice vibe
• Andrzejczak (10/5): Exceptional - We would like to say that Mostafa and his wife offer not only accommodation which is very cosy, but also transfer to and from the house. The place is calm. With beautiful views. Also if you are interested in knowing what is around, Mostafa is the man to ask. We had amazing sightseeing trip by felucca around the River Nile providing us to the Nubian Village, which is on to see. Mostafa knows this are very well and took us to the unique little spot by river Nile to see and drink coffee made by native Nubian people. Everything about the place was spot on.
• Qingci (5/5): feel so so - Just so so gesthous facility
• Mehrivan (6/5): Pleasant -
• Francois (8/5): Quiet, clean and comfortable. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended. - Mostafa and his wife are very friendly and helpful. The place is quiet, clean and comfortable.

• Muneer (10/5): Exceptional - Best  location, spotless  with excellent  and helpful staff . And most importantly its very quiet.
