The room is clean with a nice nile view. We especially liked the bathroom where you can shower while sitting on the toilet. Very practical. This is a place to see something you can’t see in your hometown. Definitely recommended for explorers

This place is really good. Especially the owner. He was amazing with us. He book us our trip to Abu Simbel and prepare some take away food for us. We should leave the room at 12:00 but he let us stay for free till 18:00 cos we come late and tired from the excursion. Really honest and nice person. Thanks 🙏🏻

Roof terrace could be better finished and no outside space.

Beautiful view from room and roof terrace. Very clean room , tea and coffee facilities in room and good hot showers.

This place is under construction, which can be a problem for some. Some people might not like construction going on next to the hotel and the fact that there is no payment, but the hotel is in a traditional Nubian village so for me it was not an issue.

Great location, really nice view of the Aga Khan Mausoleum. The owner arranged a visit to Abu Simbel and felluca ride for a reasonable price. Breakfast was ok. Room was very spacious, bathroom was fine. It is a small hotel at the moment (3 rooms I think) so it was very cosy. Good restaurants were near by.

If you plan to stay 1 night location might bothers you(I was there 3 nights and wasn't an issue since I was not rushing anywhere) but maximum 10 mins walk from boat deck

Atmosphere and village is amazing. House takes care of everything if you need help or advice. Day and night island is super safe and great place to relax. Dont miss view from accommodation at sunset.

Free hospitality Boat trip to the Property and return, very friendly staff & the most amazing location & room views, clean & comfortable room, the breakfast was outstanding and I loved the fact I went on a boat to their restaurant for breakfast, which was the best breakfast I had in Egypt so far. Top points to Ahmed the owner. Keep your good hospitality up and good future, I loved your accommodation

The bathroom had an 'open shower' with no shower tray or curtain. The whole room was soaking wet after showering.

Breakfast on the rooftop was excellent - good food and a wonderful view with very helpful staff.

Breakfast was not great. We appreciate the effort as we checked out a bit early so maybe their regular in hours offer is better. The check in process felt a bit rushed. We would have appreciated a bit more info about the location, property and pricing of the services.

This was our favourite room out of all the ones we stayed in Egypt The decor and attention was a stand out. Very comfy beds too. Furthermore, We liked the setting next to the east side of the river. They offer a good list of services that were quite helpful in terms of transfers in and out of the island. The young man that operated the boat was very polite and helpful.

The room was clean and Hosein was so nice..

Room & the bathroom is a bit small. I personally wouldn’t recommend living on this island as it doesn’t really have walkable roads and only one small store on the other side of the island. Also 200 LE for a 5mins boat ride to the other side is a bit pricey and public ferry is on the other side of the island as well.

This place is clean and the interior feels very new. Right next to the Nile river. Great view. Breakfast is spectacular! Host is very fast at responding and very friendly. Gives local guides and speaks good English.

Didn't like that we were held at the mercy of their boat/captain. We used the local shuttle a few times to get to the island, but sometimes didn't have another option.

The room looked newly finished, with bright white paint and a great AC. Looks like a small guesthouse that's still a work-in-progress. No women working in the hotel. The rooftop provided a great sunset view. For the low price, it was a great stay.

White house was an amazing place to stay. It is a little far from aswan, though this makes it a quiet place in elephantine island. Staff was always very nice and helpful, good egyptian breakfast. Everything was very clean

The fridge doesn't work

Room very charm, and comfortable beds, everything looked like brand new, and clean. Very nice view to Nile. The place is very close to the ferry and you can find everything in the island, and you can stay a little bit far from the noise of the city 😀 Very good host, help you with your visit to Abu Simbel.

The place is very quiet and in a beautiful island, and the personal of the hotel very kind. They came to pick us up with a small boat.

Only the ferry charges and no place near by to eat for lunch and dinner. They only offer 1 trip free ie all. Also if late departure there is no waiting area. If not the property is fantastic

The property was new and we love the all white sheets and the beds are very comfortable. Location is a bit off from the public ferry and when you need to go to Aswan you are charged for 200 LE which is very expensive compared with the public ferry only at 5LE each time

The White House guesthouse is idealy situated in the Elephantine island, with a beautiful view on the Nile's west coast. It is a very calm area. The room is practical and clean. Yacine is a great host, and an amazing Felucca captain I highly recommend going on a day trip on his felucca !

While our stay at this guesthouse was generally pleasant, there were a few areas where we feel improvement is necessary. Firstly, we noticed that the windows were not sealed properly, and the gap was too big. This allowed dust to enter the room during a storm, which was less than ideal. We hope that the guesthouse management can address this issue and ensure that future guests have a dust-free stay. Secondly, we found that there was no shade on the rooftop, which made it challenging to enjoy breakfast in sunny weather. We understand that the guesthouse may not have control over the weather, but providing some form of shade such as umbrellas or canopies would be a welcome addition. This would allow guests to enjoy breakfast on the rooftop regardless of the weather conditions. While these issues did detract slightly from our overall experience, they were minor and did not significantly impact our stay.

Located in a peaceful and serene area, this guesthouse is the perfect getaway for those looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The guesthouse boasts a renovated and well-maintained room that offers ultimate comfort. The staff is not only friendly but also attentive to guests' needs, ensuring that guests have a comfortable and memorable stay. the guesthouse went above and beyond when we experienced a broken fridge by immediately replacing it, ensuring that we were not inconvenienced in any way. What sets this guesthouse apart is its convenient location. It is only a few minutes' walk to the ferry station, and they offer a transfer service to and from the island for free. This added convenience made our stay all the more enjoyable, and we appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guesthouse. Overall, we highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone seeking a comfortable, peaceful, and convenient stay. The friendly staff, well-maintained rooms, fast internet, and thoughtful services make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a memorable stay.

Missing shade on the rooftop when having breakfast, but it looks like they’re going to sort it out :)

The owner was super helpful all the time, he came to pick us up to the dock and after checking out he took us back. This guest house has just been renovated and it’s beautiful, window pointing at the Nile (picture attached is what we could see from the window)

Truly one of the best stays we have had in Egypt so far. Amazing location in the Nile, we went for a dip in twice. The view from the room overlooks to the river with sand dunes and a Mosque on the other side. Our host was amazing took us from elephatine island to Aswan when needed, even at 3am for our Abu Simbel tour and gave us a packed breakfast. The breakfast was really nice, fresh food. Elephatine island is just across from aswan has a very authentique feel to nubian culture. clean room, good quality bedding.

New guest house: super clean, fully equipped and comfortable rooms. Elephantine island is full of charm, a lovely colorful nubian village and excellent restaurants (amazing lamb tajine and juices) 10min walk away. Yasin is very kind and can help you book a trip to Abu Simbel or even a felucca. He also picked us up from the ferry pier with a motorboat when we arrived. Good breakfast. Fastest wifi we've had in Egypt. Great value. We've had a lovely time, and would definitely recommend!
