This is the most stunning place we have ever stayed at! The location is wonderful, the food is fairly priced and really amazing and the owners are the most loving people ever. The family took care of everything and we felt right at home. The property is huge and you have a lot of cute areas to chill and relax. We recommend staying here for at least a few days to fully enjoy your stay. You can charge your electronics in the common areas and if you have a local sim, you will have mobile data in some places. Bring some mosquito repellent with you and you'll enjoy this heavenly place for sure! Still not over how amazing this was!! We will be back for sure!

Everything was amazing. Communication was perfect and the place was very clean. It’s more beautiful than the pictures. Food was perfect. We had the best stay in Siwa.

Great facilities and atmosphere to relax with amazingly wonderful rock mountain and lake view. Friendly staffs and cute dogs :) Delicious breakfast. Even though there are some restrictions on using of water and electricity like other ecolodges, but you can effortlessly accept this as a part of Siwa life 😀

It is a bit difficult to get to the center as you always need to call a car to pick you up, although it is easy managed by the hotel staff or by your selve

The place is absolutely beautiful, very good cooking and hospitality!

Talist was very clean and cosy with hot showers and great food. The best hosts! The accommodation was very good with cute, personalized little details in each bungalow. Our teenage boys were very happy!!

Stayed in October 2022

The only thing some might find annoying is that there is no hot water in the bathroom. We didn't mind as the weather is hot all day anyway and the water isn't that cold.

The oasis of Siwa and its surroundings and especially this PERFECT ACCOMMODATION were the only positive exception concerning the people (not a single scam, only respectful people in Siwa). The hostess is a wonderful, open-minded, educated, uncomplicated and honest woman and the staff consists of extremely respectful, friendly and always helpful people. Even my wife never felt uncomfortable or "ogled" when bathing in her swim suit. The rooms are simple but large, cosy and tastefully furnished. All windows are fitted with fine-mesh nets, which meant we could sleep with the windows open at night without having mosquitoes in the room. We had a USB socket to charge our mobile phones in the room. In the public area also 230V sockets are provided. An encrypted wifi network was indicated on the mobile phone, but we had no need and therefore did not ask. Candles are provided free of charge which make evenings in the room or in the private lounge outside even cosier. There is a very large natural pool and extensive relaxing areas with plenty of sun and shade spots. Furthermore, it is only a 3 min walk to the lake. There, the accommodation also provides sun loungers and shady shelters. What is also particularly impressive is that the rocks rise directly behind the accommodation, to which one can walk with simple shoes. The rocks offer a wonderful view and are also very interesting themselves due to the many fossils in the rocks. Breakfast and the optional dinner are freshly prepared daily and extremely delicious. The portions are more than generous. The whole area is very quiet. Siwa town is a 10-minute drive away. Having your own car is the best option. There is no public transport to the accommodation, but in Siwa town there are taxis and tuktuks available which will take you to Talist Siwa for little money. On our trip, Talist Siwa was the most beautiful and best accommodation and we would choose it again anytime.

It isn’t about property. Get ready for flies. There are a lot of flies. But this is a feature of Siwa, as I understand it.

Absolutely everything! Atmosphere just like home. I really like that they have chickens and ducks and sitting and watching them is very relaxing. There’s a special bungalow for yoga & meditation sessions and if someone looking for everyday yoga practice this bungalow will be the hotspot. Hospitality is 100+ I was really surprised. Cleanliness is everywhere. The bungalows, common areas and grounds are very clean and this was a huge plus for me especially when you came after Cairo))

Stayed in May 2022

We love it’s isolation - away from the busy, populated streets like Cairo. The location is a few metres away from the natural Salt Lake with a private cabin for public use but it seems not many use it all - a true gem!

A very tranquil place with nice pool and sitting outdoor and indoor areas overlooking the lake and surrounded by splendid nature, the way the place was built flows in harmony with siwa in every aspect, the materials,colors,ventilation and lighting used is very sustainable, perfect place to disconnect at the same time not far from town (20 min). The owner gave me a double room instead of a single one which was my initial booking which was so generous of him. Really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back.

Nothing!

Talist is a perfect place for staying in Siwa. Every detail has been thought through carefully. Breakfast was exceptional! It's a family place and from the first moment you feel like you are part of the family. It's an ecolodge in the dessert that runs on solar power, so from time to time it could happen that there's a problem with electricity or warm water, but the staff is very attentive and they do their best to solve your problem as fast as they could.

travel in space and time into a world of utter peace and relaxation my advice look for law season where you and another guest or so will be in the place

Stayed in January 2022

The place is well designed to provide guests with privacy yet on a very friendly manner. The staff are very helpful and well trained.

Stayed in December 2021

Rooms are a bit dusty and have no shampoo, Another surprise is no electric charger capacity in the room. There is a USB charger in the room, but it doesn’t work. There are USB chargers at the reception, but they do not work at night. Lastly, the hotel does Not accept credit cards at all. This is not stated on Booking.com, and can be tricky if you don’t have cash on hand Disapointing…this is 2021 after all.

Very nice place, very refreshing, Owners are very nice, friendly, always helpfull recommandations and great to organise tours and transport needs. Food was always delicious for all meals

Stayed in November 2021

Nothing; just note that it’s not a walking distance from downtown.

* Friendliness of the owners and all the staff. They were so supportive, bringing us everything we wished for (even things that were nowhere to be found in Siwa!). They helped us plan our trips as well. * The Food! Big breakfast (including the stunning “olive jam” and perfectly crunchy Tameyya), as well as the dinner, highlighted by the Moussaka * Architectural design and beauty of the place, sunset views, room design.

Hardest working family and collection of people I have ever met in Egypt. They really care about their oasis and have many great ideas for development in the future. Extremely beautiful and well kept property. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Lots of activities to do in the area and easy to arrange transportation to town or other nearby places.
