Guest Reviews

• Hanan (7/5): - Clean and has all the facilities You can't reach the place with a car you have to take boat every time you want to go out
• Wanesa (9/5): Really nice! - The host is very helpfull, the island where the guest house is placed is quiet and beautyfull!
• GÜNEYDAŞ (7/5): -
• Hélène (8/5): - L'hôte était sympathique. Les lits confortables Cuisine sale et la terrasse n'était pas terminée
• Petteri (9/5): - I stayed here for one night after arriving on an evening train to Aswan which was late by 2 hours. Eslam arranged me a private ferry and was there to check me in at 1:30am. Good service! The room was bigger than I expected. Very modern and clean.
• coralie (9/5): - Le wifi, le canapé les lits étaient très confortables La douche sur les toilettes et les couverts sales
• HaliM (10/5): - القائمين عالمكان قمة في الرقي في التعامل والأخلاق
• Aleks (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice hotel to stay in a very quiet place. Stuff is always helpful with organising activities . Little bit better cleaning
• Renaud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Renaud (10/5): Exceptional - Location is ideal. Aswan can be quite noisy and busy but Elephatine Island is a paradise of peace. The place is great and the host were wonderful, meeting us at the jetty and providing nice local advice. Nothing
• Mmaymar (9/5): The real Aswan - We stayed in a large, comfortable apartment. Eslam was very kind. Since our flight was late, they picked us up in a taxi and then were waiting for a boat to take us to the hotel. She recommended a place to have breakfast and explained transportation options... It's a good option if you like to blend in with the surroundings. Nothing
• Yang (8/5): Very good -
• Tim (7/5): Friendly and accommodating host; excellent location - Hosts were very welcoming, helpful and accommodated our needs. Gave good recommendations of places to eat. Water pressure in some shower rooms could have been better
• Ravi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mhretab (10/5): Exceptional - Mahmoud and Islam will provide you with everything you need. I hope we come back again
• Chang (8/5): Overall it’s good as the location is close to the jetty. The people are also nice - I was lucky enough to get the whole floor for ourselves. So everything in the common area was used as part of our home. There’s a shared washing machine too so we washed our clothes there after a few days of traveling. The boat transfer costs 10EGP per trip for foreigners and the boatmen are quite honest. They do provide change instead of keeping it as tips in most of the country The room was a little dirty on the linen and floor. The wardrobe was full of other stuff which we couldn’t use to hang our clothes. Please also put up your guest house name as we weren’t able to know that we have arrived at the correct place for the first time.

• Fulya (10/5): If you want to feel welcome this is the place 🌸 Right place to stay to rest for a couple of days - The property is on the Island in Aswan, just a 3 minute walk from the public ferry. The guesthouse is clean in every aspect. Islam the Manager is definitely doing a great job. He is taking care of his guests, has a positive attitude which makes you feel good which you miss in Egypt. We booked one tour and one transfer from him which after checking with other travelers had a fair price. Dear Islam thank you again for the lovely evening on the boat, the tour and good to know that not all people in Egypt even they are in the tourism business do not see travelers as walking dollars 🙏🏻 Not to forget if you have a big luggage and do not want to carry the 3 minute walk, help is always there. Nothing everything was perfect.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Eslam is a good Hotel Manager, 10/10
• Ondřej (9/5): Superb - great place for stay. Owner was great. I didn’t probably read the information clearly, because i didn’t know that one room is occupied by another people and the place is “shared”. It was ok and nothing wrong, but just count with it.
• Sicilian (9/5): Enjoy the Nubian hospitality the true Egyptian. - perfect location quiet place walkable to jetty in 5 minutes.
• Milan (8/5): Very good -
• Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional -
• Serdar (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - The location, the value, and the host. Mahmoud has you covered. He is trustworthy, friendly, and laid-back. Let him take care of everything for you. Any booking you need, contact him! Nothing! It was a great value!
• Wai (10/5): Exceptional - The host is so nice. He helped me to take my luggage to and from the hotel to the pier. Very comfortable bed. Good wifi. Washing machine available.
• Ferlan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel boasts a very comfortable bed and is exceptionally clean, situated in the heart of a unique village. There's a good restaurant nearby. Most importantly, the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. They even assisted in booking a trip to Abu Simbel temple at very reasonable prices. I'll definitely return to stay here again.
• Aniruddha (10/5): Fantastic. Will definitely go back! - The host - Eslam - was a gem of a guy! made sure every request was met and took care of us like Royalty. Also helped us in booking trips nearby at decent rates. The kitchen at the property also helped! Nothing per se - probably not the best fit if you want to stay in Aswan city and not Elephantine island. Because you'' have to take a ferry each time you get out. But we loved the experience! :)
• Ladislav (10/5): Thanks for wonderful stay - We really appreciated the very helpfull and friendly owner and the very comfortable bed. Perfect wifi and AC, safe locality, and clean room. Towel hanger and shower curtain would be cool!
• Sevinc (8/5): Very good - Very near to port and quiet place. Mahmoud welcomed us and we spent a night there. Place is chill and quiet. There is a common kitchen and sitting/ possible working space. Very good wifi. Clean room and bathroom. Recommmended! There is a nice balcony but unfortunately no view. Shower water can come inside of the room if there is no mop at the door (but this is quite common in egypt) so there is really nothing unpleasant.
• Dóra (9/5): Would stay here again - It is a really beautiful place, clean, well equipped, and quiet. Wifi was strong. -
• Sisi (8/5): great place tostay for adventurers - Mahmoud was very helpful, i travelled wit my wife, 5 year old son and 65-68 years old parentsin law, we didn'teven have to ask but he carried 1 of our suitcases all the way from the ferry to the house. the pick up was necessary because you won't be able to find the place after sundown. living in a genuine nubian village was interesting. internet was brilliant. brilliant washing machine, literally a life saving devices BUT there's no where to hang the laundry, no string, no drying rack. having a fridge and water kettle was nice. 10 pound charge for the ferry seems a little much for a 5 minute ride when you can rent a big sailboats that sits 10 for 1 hour for 200 or a motorboat that sits 30 for 1 hour for 300 pounds real prices we paid), BUT if you go.to.king jamaica restaurant for a meal then you get a free ferry ride (KFC pier) the seconddoubleroom is so tiny that youwon't even be able to put a suitcase on the floor, literally just 30 cm space to walk through, you'dhave to put allyourluggagein the living room. at night 3 am someone startedarguingand shouting in the locallanguage for about 15 minutes. towels were not made of cotton but some kind of polyester. they don't use duvet covers, and i believe the duvets neverget cleaned (they won't fit into the large 6kg washing machine) BUT there are a few extra clean polyester bed sheets that we put under the duvets, so that was OK. the cupboards were very dusty inside. there's onlyone phone we took of the road to the house, that'sthe biggestroad on the island, completely unpaved and super dusty
• Oana (8/5): Great guest house, kind hosts, clean and cozy - Very clean guest house, host is very kind, island is very beautiful and it’s nice to discover it around. Even a hair drier which I had a hard time finding in hotels in Egypt. Bathroom smelled a bit bad, and water would easily flow into the room when showering (had to use the swiper a lot). Offering big towels instead of 2 small ones would have been better. Wifi did not work at all.
• Cagkan (9/5): Superb - Value for money
• Luzmaria (10/5): Mahmoud a super host he will go above and beyond to make feel welcome. - It was in elephantine Island far from the noise of the city. Immersive experience with the fantastic hospitality of the Nubian people and specially Mahmoud the host 10 stars for him ! The beds were so comfortable we slept very well. The place has a washing machine a kitchenette and I got a cake for my birthday… wow!!! What a treat, thanks Mahmoud for organizing all the activities and for being so generous and honest.
• Nora (9/5): We had a wonderful sray! It us a highly recommended place, only 3 minutes on feet from the ferry -
• Rvaena (10/5): Exceptional - We felt like home! Mahmoud treat us so well and was available for any help that we need it, and he guide us throw all the activities and tours if the city The home its really beautiful and comfortable. We hope to get back again!
• Jules (5/5): Passable - Room and bed were big. The laundry was spread all over the living room couch drying. So I could not sit on the couches. Toilet was not cleaned when I arrived. Looked like someone used it before I got there and didn't bother to clean the diarrhea off of it Shower drain was a little clogged and took some time for water to drain after showering. Dishes in sink were not washed and attracted flies and roaches. Door to bathroom did not close so water from shower went into bedroom.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thi (10/5): Very good stay here and Mahmoud, the manager of the property is so nice and helpful. He helps to arrange our stay and to - Very good stay here and Mahmoud, the manager of the property is so nice and helpful. He helps to arrange our stay and tours with good price.
• Delphine (8/5): Peace and quiet in Aswan - Mohamed and his cousin were very helpful (thank you WhatsApp!), always trying to make us feel at home. The guesthome was empty at that time (2 more rooms) so we pretty much had the kitchen and living room all for ourselves : after a buzy day in Aswan, it was all we needed :-). The place has been re modeled 1 year ago so it is in good shape :-)! The kitchen is lacking a good knife, a bigger saucepan with a handler, also a bigger frying pan maybe? some glass conteners for the microwave for us tourists who like to cook ;-) but we did mention it to the owner.
• Lyle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ioannis (9/5): Superb - Mahmoud and his cousin are fantastic hosts. From the time they picked us up from the ferry platform until the last goodbye their hospitality was unique. Mahmoud was always available and very helpful. Just a five-minute walk from the ferry platform, the house is in a very quiet and relaxing area.
• Anton (8/5): Very good - Great place to stay for a couple of days to feel a real nubian vibes. It's definitely worth visiting. The price is nice 👍 Awesome location just near the public ferry which costs 5 pounds per person (for tourists). Shared kitchen is well equipped. Unfortunately, we met cockroaches in the bathroom a couple of times. And the cleaning might be better in general. After taking a shower you need to remove the water from the floor.
• Andres (7/5): Very Helpful Staff - The staff was really helpful. They waited for us close to the ferry port. We can late so they help us to find a place to have dinner. In our case I feel it was expensive for what you can get in similar places
• Youhana (9/5): Superb -
• Elena_by (8/5): Very good -
• Cléo (8/5): Very good -
• Julian (8/5): Very good -
• Victoria (9/5): Superb - Mahmoud is the best host, really. Many thanks for his help and hospitality. The house and room were really nice and cozy, all is perfect. Pillows were a little bit uncomfortable, also we found wifi by ourself, it will be nice to put the note with a password for the guests.
• Eliascv (6/5): Pleasant - Very good location. I think the personal is nice. Room quite. But price cost is higher than quality.
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good - Mahmoud was very friendly, house is quite and located near to ferry
• Redas (9/5): Superb - Owner and place were amaizing. Highly recomend to stay in an island. Shower drenage and hot/cold water regulation was guite bad
• Νikolask (10/5): Value for money and safe - Guest house of 3 bedrooms , kitchen-living room and 2 bathrooms . Stayed 2 nights and used only for sleep. The young owner is a very nice guy and can help with everything. Safe and 5 minutes by boat transfer from the main city to the elephantine island . I would stay again.
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Linda (10/5): A great choice while enjoying this area of Egypt. - The super hosts were extremely helpful with arranging drivers to attractions and especially with setting up a Nile cruise. This lovely property is well-kept and away from busy downtown, yet very asessible by a short inexpensive ferry ride. We were pleased with the ample optional breakfast. Our room even had a small balcony facing a treed area. Can't go wrong with this guest house. No complaints.
• Przemyslaw (10/5): Exceptional - The guys running this guest house are exceptional: caring, thoughtful, relaxed. Real Nubian hospitality, not to be missed!
• Tamer (7/5): Good - It is clean ,all renewed furniture There is no hot water for shower
• Merna (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay in Aswan. Located on the island you only need a small boat ride to reach to corniche (5LE). The place was new, comfortable,spacious and very good Internet. Mohamad, our host was pleasant and assisted us on organising our favourite excursions. Highly recommend this place if you want bang for buck!
• Juan (10/5): Nice guest house! We felt at warm home - The place is beautiful, confortable and clean. Mohamed and Mahmoud are really kind, honest and helpful, they showed us the island for free and give us the best price to rent the boat.
