Hamo and the location

Stayed in March 2022

Hammada is very helpful man, it explains everything and help to organise some trips. It is good place to stay, good view for Nile. Elephant island is a best place to stay in Aswan

Only one thing, thats eating out. The restaurant is kinda expensive(island prices) and its better to eat mainland.

One of the best deals we could find around Aswan. The vibe is much more relaxing on the island. The view was beautiful. Hamo is lovely and always there to help. Beds are huuuge and comfy.

Тhe breakfast and the accuracy of the communication with the host could bе improved further, however Hamo was extremely polite and dedicated host.

Staying over for few nigths at Hamo house in Elephantine's island at the core of authentic Nubian house gave us the possibility to sense and experince the old and rich cultural background of the Nubians.

There is small hotel but very comfortable, native and family. Owner is Nubian and VERY-VERY hospitality. All help, what need. Very nice Nile and Botanical garden across. But, you must have map at the first time fo finding hotel. And found board with name hotel...

I liked the view from the house, It was incredible. Hamo is also a nice guy and he was helpful. It's really quiet there away from the noise of the city.

Hamo house is a great place to stay. The house is very well located, just in front of the Nile, the sea view is amazing. There are 3 rooms, and they are all large with a balcony and comfortable beds. The shared shower is big and it's working properly with hot water. The restaurant with a big terrace offers a great view, you have to order in advance. Hamo is very kind and hospitable man. He will try his best to help you. We didn't eat at his palce and we didn't book any tours with him. If you want peace along the Nile, we recommend you his place!

I've stayed at Hamo's twice.. my room was just in front of the nile so u will be jumping in the river every morning. Food was really good and Hamo is always around to see if I needed something. After visiting the craziness in Luxor and Cairo this place is paradise. I'll be coming back again and again! Thank you Hamo and Staff!

This is a trap. This place don’t have structure to receive guests. It’s dirty and don’t have even hot water for a bath. The owner tried to scam me. Shouldn’t be on Booking

Sorry, sorry, to say: this was the worst experience we ever, ever had with a hotel or guest house! Never in my life I had so good looking and poor tasting food :-o. Purely tastless! No matter, what it was: tameya, omlett, beans - no taste: no salt. no herbs. Horrible. Dull, dark, traumatic. The atmosphere at whole place was heavy, sad, dark and traumatic. Really bad. The lady running the restaurant was busy with her child and did not speak one word of English. She told us some things in Arabic just to have a conversation, but was her smile was fake and unsecure. We did not feel comfortable at all, both of us. 30$ per night for the double room incl. breakfast - a ripp off . 3 $ would have been more appropriate. When her husband finally came the next day, he offered us 5 times to take us on a boat trip - we agreed: our fault! When we came for the boat trip around the island, only then he started to get the boat "ready" (uncleand), tried to get it started, opened the motor, tried to fix some cables, failed many times to start the motor. Once on the little, dirty boat, we started drifting towards the middle of the river, as the motor again went off. We were afraid to miss our train back to LUXOR and requested him to take us back to the shore - he tried to ignore our request until we had to yell at him. . .. . what a horror idea to be lost drifting on the Nile, while we miss our train! As there are no cars or no tuktuk on the island, one can only WALK across to the ferry back to Assuan OR you hire a boat to take you to the other side/Assuan.

The guest house is located on Elepantine island, opp. to Assuan. As there are no cars or no tuktuk on the island, one can only WALK across the island OR you take a boat around the island to be able to reacht to the guest house you have booked. spacious Terrace with sand floor and coloured plastic chairs: right at the Nile river, overlooking the Nile and facing the neighbouring island. Room: our room was rather a part of an apartment with two bathrooms, one kitchen, a hallway and two friges. There was a balony two, but it was not so clean. Bathroom was equipped with soap, many hooks, lots of space. Only 500m away is the IBIZA guest house - a lovey painted terrace restaurant with friendly, open smiling people, bright atmosphere, good food - a 100% change of the dull atmosphere at Hamo House.

The mosquitos are busy at night as it is on the river Bank so think about bringing an insect repellent before arriving. Also make sure Kamo really understands you as it was hard to get a sugar free coffee.

The location is fantastic with a view onto Kitchener's islamd, it is so peaceful compared to the east bank of Aswan. Hamo is very friendly and helpful. However the boat rides are a bit overpriced so it is better to bargain. The room and bathroom, toilets are clean and there is plenty of hot water. It is quite good value for money. I wish him to do well especially after these covid years which must have hit these tourist places badly.

BUT…….. this place REALLY needs cleaning. Its DIRTY. The floors are ok, be bathrooms are fine, but thats it. a bit dusty, cold in winter, really NEGLECTED, sticky kitchen. and its a shame cause it could be a really nice place if they wiped it at least every week or two….

Ok Im giving a good review because I REALLY LIKED HAMO, whose presence is in my opinion the main reason why this really basic place is getting good opinions. He is the soul of this place, simple, kind and helpfull. Gave me a simple village-like take away breakfast, which I find touching, gave good tips with his very simple english, it all worked out. cool bar just outside.

I wouldnʼt stay there again. The hostʼs behaviour was pushy, tries to make a business out of everything in an unpleasant way and rips you off, sells overpriced drinks while the preparation of them takes forever. If you donʼt want to wait for a whole hour at the table for your breakfast being prepared, messing up all your plans for the day, better eat somewhere else. Additionally he doesnʼt speak English well, which is not a big deal, but it caused a misunderstanding that as a result made the host angry. What happened: on my arrival with the boat another passenger paid the whole ride. I asked the captain of the boat if I need to pay as well, he declined and didnʼt want to have my money. Two days later during my departure the host implied that I would have cheated on the boat fare during my arrival and that I would need to pay now. So I gave the host money again. Unbelievable. I left with a bad mood.
