    The food is delicious,and freshly cooked. It is in a countryside setting, the rooms are quiet and we had a room with a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. The staff treat you like family and nothing is too much trouble. The taxi driver has his taxi at the hotel and the rates are reasonable.

    The hotel was pretty hard for guide services to find. Mabey could use a sign out front. But other than that I have zero complaints about this beautiful establishment

    The owner of the hotel helped us out huge on the first day. Our guide service had a problem to where they were not able to pick us up from our location at the hotel. So the owner with out us asking took us to meet up with them and we tried to tip him for his kind jester and he refused. Very very nice people great food and will give you good conversation!

    Great place for base to explore Nile left bank and it's archeological riches :)

    Well if your plan is to stay several days on left side of the Nile in order to visit all available archeological sites, this is a perfect base! If you don't have Luxor Pass, you will need to buy all tickets separatly in a ticket office which is on the other side of the road. All locations are relaively close (except Valley of the Kings, but we manage to get there on foot anyway) and accesible by walk, but it's not a problem to call a taxi there (or a random car, for few EGP everyone will agree to give you a short ride). Staff is very nice, attentive and helpful and food is delicious (in addition to brekfast you can also order lunch/dinner here).

    this property has a great location on the West Bank with a completely different vibe then the east bank. it appears to be a family run place to stay, restaurant, taxi service anything you need. The property is great with eating outside is located adjacent to Medinat Habu and off the road to valley of the kings. Location is amazing. love the outdoor dining meals were great and they made the best orange juice I’ve ever had.

    - Poor Wi-Fi, not available in the rooms but only downstairs .

    Located in the West Bank just in front of the Antiquities bureau ticket office and “walking” distance to Valley of queens and workers tombs and you can rent a bike to reach all other sites if interest in the West Bank. Felt like home and looking forward to be back after a busy days of sightseeing . Very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was extremely nice and dinners were available at a very reasonable price and were delicious . Staff extremely helpful.

    What a beautiful, authentic property! Our 4 day stay here was a true highlight of our month in Egypt. Every evening we enjoyed wonderful home cooked food and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Our two children passed hours playing with the local neighborhood children and we enjoyed strolling to the nearby local sites and stopping for sugarcane juice on the way. The guesthouse also organized our guide and driver for our tour to the Valley of the Kings, which was outstanding! The hot air balloons also fly over the property every morning, which was a beautiful site!

    It is a special hotel close to all the sites on the West Bank. Built of adobe it is quaint and down to earth if that is what you are looking for. The food is excellent and the dining area is like being on the country side. You can rent bicycles to visit the west bank sites, and it is a short taxi or mini bus ride to the ferry to cross over to the east bank.

    The beds were a bit hard, but that can definitely be overlooked when taking everything else into account.

    The hotel was great and the staff were very kind and helpful. We felt at home, yet also as if we were in an exotic ancient paradise. You feel like you're really in Egypt here. The breakfast was delicious and the outside cafeteria area is heavenly. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Luxor and West Thebes.

    Wonderful traditional mudhouse right opposite the ticket office. You cannot have a closer location as basis to see all the main luxor sights, still it's absolutely peaceful in an orchard of palm trees. The rooms have all the comfort like AC, fan, own bathroom, balcony (from which you can even see the memnon colossus), but are decorated in local style, like furniture made from palm trees. You can enjoy the hospitality of Mahmood's kind family, and the delicious dishes in their restaurant (duck with orange sauce or crispy aubergine for example). and they can organize any kind of trip/sightseeing you might like to do at very reasonable prices, but they also just give advice if you prefer to do your own thing. simply a great place to stay, i will definitely come back!

    Our bed room, though seemingly acceptable at first glance, quickly revealed its disappointing conditions. The space was not only old but also poorly maintained, with dust settled on much of the furniture. Upon attempting to sleep, we encountered a disturbing situation: the beds were infested with wriggling maggots, discovering five on the mattress alone, and even more on the floor. This alarming discovery resulted in a sleepless night filled with discomfort and unease. The hostel desperately needs to improve its cleanliness and pest control measures.

    The hostel's restaurant offered nice dining, with fresh, delicious meals and friendly staff. The duck dish tasted good.

    Everything else. Conditions for 1990. As soon as we step into the room, we see that the bed is dirty. They cleaned it but because it's very old, the dirty fell from the ceiling all night. It's very hard to sleep when you feel uncomfortable and dirty. The bathroom is very bad, and a lot of insects in the apartment 😒 😑 I'm so glad we stayed only one night there. I hope they make reconstruction soon because they are very helpful for everything else.

    Location near best places in West Bank and host behaviour. Mohammed is the best guide in Luxor.

    At night we struggled with the mosquitoes and the barking dogs. Better to bring a mosquito repellent before arriving.

    The location was perfect for going to the valley of the Kings and we enjoyed the vicinity of small farms and fields. The food was good and our host organised the rental of bikes for us. He has been very helpful and friendly. It was a pleasant budget hotel.
