• asterix (10/5): - El lloc al costat del riu Nil.La illa és molt especial i autèntica.
• Thomas (10/5): - C'est vraiment une bonne adresse (dans la catégorie prix bas/moyen) à Aswan. Les chambres sont simples, mais fonctionnelles et propres. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil tranquille, sans sollicitations incessantes. Rien.

• DEHOUCK DELPHINE (10/5): - Très bon accueil et gentillesse. La chambre est de bonne taille. Excellent petit déjeuner sur le rooftop avec belle vue sur le nil. 5 à 7 mn pour rejoindre le ferry qui vous emmène en centre ville pour 15 egp . Nous avons fait une balade en felouque d'1h proposée par Bakri pour 400 egp ( 7 eur).9
• Maxime (9/5): - Super nice host really kind and well attention to us Bed was a bit hard but overall super clean and welcomed
• Hisashi (9/5): 初めてのエジプト旅行の不安が消えました。快適です - エレファンティネ島西側にあって静か ヌビア地方の田舎が堪能できる オーナーが親切で、何かと世話をしてくれる 特になし
• zhang (10/5): - 分2次订的 一共住了3天！前面详细评论了，很满意！
• zhang (10/5): - 对这次居住很满意，我是一个英语不太好的人，老板除了在入住的时候推荐了一下阿布辛贝神庙包车，后面3天没有再打扰我一次！我觉得很自由，因为是在岛上所以条件没有酒店好，但是够用！我非常满意

• IZABOUBOU (10/5): - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Bakri et sa famille à Assouan. L’accueil a été très chaleureux et Bakri a été d’une grande disponibilité. Il nous a même emmenés lui-même pour une superbe balade d’une heure en felouque sur le Nil, un moment magique. Le petit-déjeuner était copieux et délicieux, la chambre propre et confortable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le calme de l’île. Un endroit parfait pour se reposer. Nous recommandons vivement !
• IZABOUBOU (10/5): Un accueil exceptionnel au bord du Nil - Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à Assouan chez Bakri et sa famille. L’accueil a été exceptionnel : chaleureux, attentionné et sincère. Bakri a été d’une grande disponibilité tout au long de notre séjour. Nous lui avons demandé s’il pouvait nous aider à organiser une promenade en felouque, et c’est lui-même qui nous a embarqués pour une magnifique balade d’une heure sur le Nil. Un moment magique, paisible et inoubliable. Le petit-déjeuner était très copieux et délicieux, un vrai plaisir chaque matin. La chambre était propre et confortable. Après trois jours passés au Caire, nous avons particulièrement apprécié le calme de l’île. L’environnement est reposant, authentique et vraiment agréable. C’était l’endroit parfait pour se ressourcer. Nous recommandons ce logement sans hésiter !
• Gretel (9/5): - Very comfortable and clean rooms and beds. The rooftop where breakfast is served has a lovely and relaxing view to the Nile and opposite bank. They helped us book the transport to visit Abu Simbel. There was some construction going on, so there was quite some noise during the day.
• Antonello (9/5): - Appartamento nuovissimo e quasi perfetto in termini di pulizia. Una bella terrazza che da sul Nilo in seconda linea. Proprietario molto disponibile. Sono stato da lui contattato prima del soggiorno per i dettagli. Colazione nela norma egiziana. Le.strade dell'isola sono su sterrato in vicoli stretti ma mi sono sempre sentito sicuro. Presente illuminazione notturna ovunque. Qualche pelo residuo. Peccato perché sarebbe stato perfetto. Posizione in seconda fila sul nilo e davanti stanno costruendo pertanto la terrazza, un domani, potrebbe non avere la vista di adesso. I muratori fanno rumore chiaramente, ma alle 17 se ne vanno. È sulla.sponda opposta dell'isola rispetto al ferry pubblico. Non proprio comodissimo.
• Garen (10/5): Comfortable guest house with Nubian hospitality - Truly top notch service from a family that appreciates their guests. We realized after our flight was delayed three times by almost 3 hours that we would have to navigate from the Aswan airport to a ferry dock, across to the island and walk to the hotel late at night. We messaged the hotel to see if they had some suggestions to help us out. To my surprise, they sent us a Google link with a dock meeting point and picked us up on their private boat for a transfer. This was at 11:30PM! We felt so bad due to the late arrival but the hospitality was incredible and we were SO grateful. The accommodations were new and super clean with comfortable beds and linens. The shower had hot water and great pressure. The bathroom is a wet bath with a shower between the sink and toilet (just fyi). There was a shared refrigerator outside our door in a common entry area. A huge, delicious breakfast was served each morning on their rooftop with a view of the Nile river. The hosts offered tours and I honestly wish we had booked a botanical garden island trip and a Nubian village trip with them instead of Viator. I suggest asking what they charge for boat transfers to these site if they are on your list. Both are easily navigated and possibly more enjoyable without a guide. Elephantine island is rustic. No cars, sand/dirt trails between buildings, weaving through a mix of local residential and small businesses/restaurants. It’s not a touristy location but there are nearby amenities like restaurants, tea/coffee shops, etc. We consider this a HUGE plus as we like to avoid other tourists and experience local culture. We got lost walking around a few times. We had local kids navigate us through the trails and were happy to give them a few pounds for their guidance. We loved the adventure. The walk to the local ferry to the mainland is approx 5-7 minutes once you learn the way and the ferry ran back and forth every 10 minutes or so. Really nothing to complain about.
• Afaq (8/5): - Staff were very helpful. In terms of price performance, it was good. If you want to see more tips Luxor-Aswan-Cairo trip tips you can check my instagram highlights instagram: @afageva
• Maarten (9/5): Wonderful stay and great Felucca trip! - Wonderful staff, very helpful. They arranged a Felucca trip for us which was absolutely fantastic. Rooms very good value. Location on the quiet part of the island The view was a bit disappointing as there is a new building half in front of the hotel.
• Loreta (10/5): - La hospitalidad. Gestionaron durante horas nuestra excursión al día siguiente, hicimos el checkout a las 3 am y ellos habian preparado un desayuno para que nos llevemos a la madrugada . El colchón que nos tocó fue el mejor de nuestro viaje (hicimos más de 10 hoteles
• Paraskevi (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Very nice place. Would totally recommend and visit again
• Kostas (10/5): Αν ηταν να ξανα πήγαινα στο νησι παλι το ιδιο θα επελεγα - Οτι και να πω θα ειναι λιγο. Τα δωματια τα εχει μια οικογενια που απο τον μικροτερο εως τον μεγαλυτερο ειναι πολυ καλοι και εξυπηρετικοι να σε βοηθησουν στο οτιδηποτε. Ηρθαν και μας πηραν απο τη προβλήτα που δεν ξεραμε πως να παμε. Μας πηραν τις αποσκευες για να τις κουβαλησουν αυτοι. Μεσα το δωμάτιο ηταν πολυ καθαρο για τα δεδομενα του νησιου και γενικοτερα της Αιγύπτου. Οι τιμές που προσφέρει για δραστηριοτητες ειναι φυσιολογικες και οχι πολυ παραπανω που δινουν ολοι. Τιοιτα ολα ηταν καλα.

• Konstantina (10/5): Φιλοι απο Ελλαδα - Ο χαμογελαστος ιδιοκτήτης του σπιτιού μας υποδέχτηκε στο αεροδρόμιο αργα το βραδυ και μας προσφερε μια ζεστη φιλοξενία. Οργανωσε πολυ ομορφες εκδρομές σε οικονομικες τιμες.Μας προσφερε ενα εξαιρετικό πρωινό στην ομορφη ταράτσα..Τον ευχαριστούμε θερμα και θα επιστρέψουμε... Ολα ηταν υπεροχα σ αυτη την καταπληκτικη τοποθεσια.
• Seongeun (10/5): - 페리선착장 방향의 숙소보다 전망이 훨씬 좋습니다. 저녁에 보는 일몰이 정말 아름다워요. 조용하고 평화로운 지역입니다. 선착장에서 도보 5분 정도라서 이동하기 좋아요. 아스완 시내는 시끄러워서 여기가 훨씬 좋아요. 방은 깨끗하고 먼지 하나 없어서 편안하게 휴식할수 있습니다. 조식은 집밥 느낌으로 정성스럽고 양이 많고 푸짐해요. 추천합니다!
• Seongeun (10/5): - 방이 깨끗하고, 따뜻한물 잘 나와서 지내기에 불편함이 없었어요. 무엇보다 사장님이 매우 친절하고 정직한 분이시라 무엇이든 도와주십니다. 숙박 뿐만 아니라 투어, 택시, 무엇이든 부탁해보세요. 저는 아부심벨 투어와 룩소르 택시를 부탁했습니다. 최선을 다해 합리적인 가격으로 도와주시더라고요.
• Mamdouh (10/5): - Bakry and his family are very kind. They are genuine, and always available for the guest. Any questions, visit or emergency they are here to help. The mornings and sunsets are great and very peaceful. You can ask Bakry to book any visit for you and it's better that way because he knows reliable people. Don't book felucca or anything on the corniche of the city even if cheaper, you'll regret it. Besides the views are better on the guest house side than on the city side. It's a minor detail because everything was great but if I have to say something then I'd say the coffee (nescafe) in the breakfast was not good (maybe too much water).
• Léa (9/5): Havre de paix - Le personnel est au petit soin et propose des sorties en felouque pour un prix raisonnable. Le petit déjeuner est local et varié. La douche est chaude mais malheureusement toute la salle de bain est mouillée ensuite.
• VALENTINA (9/5): -
• xiao (10/5): - 老板人很不错，每天的早餐很丰盛，出门就是尼罗河，或许在门口看日落是一个很不错的选择 酒店的位置在西岸，每天回酒店需要从东岸码头上岸，第一次从这里走，需要穿过很多小巷子，那个氛围有些害怕，如果你们住在这里，你们要早些回家，
• Emma (10/5): A wonderful place - If you are looking for a small family-run guest house in a perfect location, with the most wonderful people - this is the place. We felt like home. Amazingly great breakfast served in the terrace with beautiful view over palms and river Nile. The room was big and superclean, fresh linen, big, thick towels and great beds. The landlord was very welcoming, friendly and humble. When we asked for a felucca, his son took us for a wonderful 2 hrs sailing for a very resonable price. When we had to leave early they made us a package with breakfast. If you visit Aswan, you have to stay at Elephantine Island, it is very easy with the public boat. When you stay at Elephantine you should definitely stay att Sunset Guesthouse, it was the very best 3 night on our 3 weeks in Egypt. -
• Alexandra (10/5): - La habitación es grande y limpia, hay agua caliente y el mejor wifi que he tenido en Egipto. Sirven un buen desayuno en la azotea con vistas al río. El trato es muy bueno por parte de los propietarios. Además ofrecen excursiones a buen precio.
• MANUEL (10/5): Je conseille - Tres bon accueil de la part du personnel, très bons conseils pour orgniser nos visites ou sorties restaurent. Positonnė sur la jolie ile Elephantine A queluues pas du ferry boat.
• Guest (10/5): 很好，非常安静暖心的民宿 - 工作人员很热情，老板大叔和儿子们都很负责，非常可靠。 楼梯有一点倾斜，走的时候需要注意脚下
• Line (10/5): -
• Abdulwanees (10/5): - المناظر الطبيعية / تعاون صاحب المكان لا يوجد في القرية وسائل ترفيه للأطفال
• Bryan (10/5): Perfect stay for travelers that don’t want to be insulated and want more than sightseeing from their travels. - Authentic, local immersion, and the host’s willingness to connect and learn from each other. The facilities are clean, spacious, and comfortable. Plenty of options for transportation to sites as well as airport transfer. Amazing breakfast. It’s an amazing place to stay with a wonderful host and I highly recommend that you book it.
• Bryan (10/5): My stay was clean, comfortable, safe, and amazing. Book it! - I loved my time at Sunset Guest House and would stay here over and over again. Bakry and his family showed us great hospitality, even arriving late at night. A beautiful boat ride across the Nile awaited to get to the room. The room was clean and perfect for the nights in Aswan. It was amazing having a homemade breakfast on top of the roof with the most gorgeous view of the Nile. Nowhere better to sip coffee. There are excellent arrangements for transportation and sites in the area and as far away as Abu Simbel, as well as airport and boat transfers to arrive safely. Not only was the hospitality great but we made a lifelong friend in Bakry. I can’t speak highly enough about Bakry and his family, they really care and connect. I highly recommend Sunset Guest House. I loved everything about it. The location in the village on the island might not be for everyone but if you like authenticity and crave experiences then you will love it!

• morgane (10/5): - Nous avons passé un super séjour. Notre hôte a été très accueillant et toujours avec le sourire. La chambre était spacieuse et propre. Il y a une belle terrasse en rooftop ou nous pouvions admirer une belle vue sur le Nil. Le logement est bien situé sur l'île, seulement à 5mn de l'embarcadère. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et délicieux ! L'hôte propose également des excursions à des prix très avantageux. (Felucca, village Nubien, transfert Louxor...)
• Saurabh (10/5): -
• Up_the_irons (10/5): Doporučuji - Čisté a pohodlné ubytování, teplá voda, super snídaně na střešní terase, v noci byl klid na spaní, ubytování je kousek od trajektu. Pan majitel má vlastní loď, za 15 usd zajistil popůlnoční transfer z letiště na pokoj. Umí dobře anglicky, takže se pohodlně domluvíte. Tours jsou za standardní ceny, ale pro nás dokázal sehnat za 25 USD na osobu minibus do Luxoru se zastávkami v Kom Ombo a Edfu, takže myslím super. Doporučuji, skvěle jsme si tu odpočinuli po chaosu v ostatních egyptských městech.
• narimi (10/5): ゆったりと過ごせてアクティビティも楽しめるホテル - エレファンティア島の ゆっくり時間が流れるホテルです！ アスワンに泊まると騒がしいので本当によかったです☺️ ボートでしか島に行けず、2人で5USDでお迎えに来てくれました！ 地元のボートだと15EGPと安いですが、道中砂の道でスーツケースを押すのは難しいので頼んで良かったです。 様々なアクティビティを用意してくれました。 ファルーカは1人5USDで 1時間サンセットツアーを楽しみました。 ボートとは違いゆっくりと風の力だけで進むのは気持ちよかったです。 フィラエ神殿(イシス神殿)へも 2人で30USD手配してもらいました。(入場料別) きっと自分で行く方が安いが 帰ってきてからシャワーを浴びさせてもらえて かなり助かりました。 帰りは船でアスワン駅まで 1人5USDで送ってもらいました！ とっても親切で選んでよかったです♪ ありがとうございました♪ シャワーがトイレと同じでみずびだしになります。 水を切れるので問題ないですし、お湯もしっかりでます。 気になる方はスリッパをお忘れずに！
• dimitri (10/5): Super guesthouse Île Elphantine Aswan - Super guesthouse! Cela confirme les précédents commentaires Bakry et sa famille sont d’une profonde gentillesse Facilité de communication Organisation d’activités (felouque et transport en motorboat) à un prix très raisonnable Petit déjeuner excellent!!! Bref super option sur la calme île Elephantine loin du bruit des klaxonnes Rien!
• Sachidanand (10/5): - Next to nile river on an island. The host was very communicative, friendly and welcoming. He was so.kind and soft spoken person..He also arranged a Nubian village trip with his boat which was super nice. You need to use the ferry (06.00 to 23.59) everytime you need to travel out of the island. Not a problem but need to be aware. The street to nile view river restaurant was dark in some places which makes navigation tricky.
• virginie (10/5): - L hote genereux, prevenant, exceptionnel. L emplacement tranquile, paisible et super vue. Rien
• Emilie (10/5): - Très bon emplacement. Les personnes nous ayant reçues sont très aimable. Verre d'accueil très appréciable. Bonne communication avant et pendant le séjour sur WhatsApp.
• Aurélie (9/5): Endroit reposant - Le calme, la vue, la gentillesse du personnel Rien.
• Barbara (10/5): - The owner and his family were very friendly helpful and obliging. The room and ensuite was newly done, spacious, quality materials, everything worked. Had excellent air con as well as overhead fan, and the private balcony was lovely to sit unobserved in the evening. Or stand and admire the view across the water The breakfast area on the top floor has a beautiful view, well shaded, and I loved the sand underfoot covering the concrete so it felt beachy or desert. We had great conversations with the owner too.
• Sarah (10/5): Top host :) - Bakry is very kind and helpful
• Noam (10/5): Excellent séjour - L'emplacement est extraordinaire, calme et loin de l'agitation de la ville D'assouan. La gentille du personnel et de notre hôte. Super petit déjeuner. Vous pouvez organiser toute vos excursions depuis la guest House. C'est vraiment le lieu où séjourner pour visiter Assouan et ses environs. À noter également la gentillesse et l'accueil des habitants de l'île.
• Corinne (8/5): Good stay at bakry’s family guest house - We had a wonderful stay and appreciated the great value for money offered. The pickup directly from the boat location was very convenient, and the laundry service was a big plus. Bakry and his family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — their special attention and care made our stay easy and stress-free. They were always present, available, and incredibly helpful in organizing our activities, which saved us a lot of hassle and allowed us to simply enjoy our time. All of our activities were well arranged and on time, showing great organization. The bedroom was spacious and very clean, and the breakfast was tasty. Overall, the hospitality and warmth we received made our experience very comfortable. Recommended for anyone looking for both comfort and genuine care during their stay.
• eddy (9/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Good Experience - Wonderful Staff and a great breakfast. This is a guest house where you can experience he local culture. The Host is very helpful with assisting one with tour plans,,,has his own boat as well. I certainly recommend!!! Although the Host meets you at the dock would be good to have some signs directing to guest house.
• Antonio (10/5): Muy Recomendable -
• Artem (10/5): - Удобное расположение, можно дойти от общественного парома за пять минут. Номер был чистый, с кондиционером. Вай-фай работал хорошо. Тихое и спокойное место. Очень вежливые и приветливые хозяева и персонал. Завтрак делают в удобное для вас время, спрашивают ваши пожелания. Могут организовать экскурсии и поездку на лодке. Рекомендую останавливаться в этом месте.
• Mikki (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind and helpful staff. Big, clean, modern room with very good working aircon. The terrace with nice view and breeze. Great breakfast! Thank you so much for your hospitality.
• Dalmau (9/5): Beautiful place! - I had a really good stay in sunset guest house. Abdallah and his father are really kind. They showed me the place around Elephantine island and made sure I was the most comfortable in any way. I strongly recomend you to eat in their restaurant next to the nile. The views are beautiful, and the place is cosy. they have a lot of traditional dishes and drinks that you can choose as menu and everything is amazingly cook!! You'll enjoy a peaceful meal next to the nile.
• Charles (10/5): Fabulous guest house - The room was very spacious, clean with very comfortable beds and crisp clean bed sheets. The air-conditioning and fan kept the room as cool as you would like. The bathroom was a good size with as much hot water as you needed and the balcony was a pleasant place to sit as the evening cooled. The breakfast provided was amazing too and there was a nice breeze on the upstairs terrace to sit and eat. Overall this is a great value for money guest house, family run and a great way to support local business.
• Philip (10/5): Great place to stay and arranged trips easily for me - Very nice owner and family,will do everything they can for you and not a bother.Very good rooms and great size wet room with toilet paper.
• Mostafa (10/5): Clean and nice place to stay. - Clean and convenient. The owner and his family are very kind and hospitable.
• Lazena (10/5): Excellent staff, affordable, nice rooms and very friendly staff! - This property is very close to the Nile and has a rooftop that overlooks the water. There are also boats for transport and attentive staff to help with all of your needs. The room is also very nice with comfortable beds, bedding, and fresh towels. The owner is available onsite, very friendly , and breakfast was included with my stay. WiFi is available and several options for excursions are near by. The photos shown on this site are an accurate description of what to expect!
• Melanie (9/5): Wonderful Nubian hospitality - Wonderful Nubian hospitality, very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and great view of the Nile ✨
• Khalil (10/5): Exceptional - The guest house was located on the west side of Elephantine Island, deeply rooted in the Nubian quarters and 5 minutes ( by walking ) from the Taxi boat station. Thus this makes it the perfect spot for discovering all the landmarks and monuments in Aswan and the surrounding islands.
