“A little oasis”
+Mahmoyd was amazing and so kind. He really took care of us and helped us organise everything. Breakfast is nice, room was bigger than expected from the pictures. The surroundings are just so peaceful. Bed was great!
−Shower drain smelled a bit when showering. But good water pressure and temperature.

“A great stay”
+The stay was clean, had the required amenities, the shared space and the room has a fantastic view of the Nile. Accessing the boat from Aswan mainland was seamless (there is an efficient and affordable public ferry). Mahmoud the host also helped in arranging airport transfer, taxi to the sights and felucca ride. Ahmed was our driver for 3 days and he was the best driver we had in our trip
−Breakfast could have been better

“Relaxing stay on the waterfront!”
+This is an incredible place to stay. We loved the location on Elephantine island, the views are lovely and it’s such a chilled out vibe. Mohammed our water taxi driver was so helpful and Machood the boats caretaker was friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. These two guys are brilliant! They made our stay extra special. The decor was cute, breakfast was delicious, it had all the amenities you’d need. There was a fridge with drinks and you wrote down what you took and paid at the end. We loved the experience!
−It is a bit noisy with it being a boat, so pack earplugs. There’s 4 rooms so you may be sharing with other people which I didn’t realise. Rooms are a little snug but the living room, deck and upper deck make up for it.

“The most beautiful view of the Nile and the best staff.”
+Anakob was one of the best accommodations we had in this Egyptian trip. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and unique place to stay. We were so happy staying here for 4 nights. The location, the view, the service and the staff were amazing. Mahmoud was so professional, attentive and reliable. He helped us for all sorts of arrangements and kept checking on us to make sure everything went well. The boat, the room and everyone were so clean and nice. We do like the brand image as well. It’s highly recommended~~ such a wonderful life experience to stay at Anakob. Thank you, Mahmoud and the team, for having made such a wonderful memories for us. :)

“Amazing houseboat experience”
+Incredible views, super cool houseboat, and very friendly helpful staff. Cooked us amazing breakfast and maintained great communication before, during, and after the stay including bag pickup and drop-off by boat from the mainland. Tons of fun arriving by boat or by walking through the island to get here. Lots of fun restaurants nearby. Great bathrooms with hot water and good pressure. Air conditioning in each room. Super clean and well maintained. Comfy beds. Highly recommend! Would 100% stay here again.
−Only thing that I want other travelers to be aware of is that even if you book out all the rooms on the boat, the boat is not private. The men who work here are awesome and super friendly, but they will be hanging out and smoking on the back deck making things not as private as I thought they were going to be.
