+Host was friendly
−I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience here was unacceptable and far below what was advertised. Cleanliness & Maintenance: The room was super dirty upon arrival. Bizarrely, there was bird poop on the wall, and the chairs,which look lovely in the listing photos,were broken. To top it off, multiple things in the bathroom were not working properly. Misleading Amenities & Wi-Fi: The listing explicitly advertises Wi-Fi, but there was no internet connection during our stay. When I brought this up, the host admitted they simply hadn't paid/recharged the bill and made it clear they had no intention of doing so. Pest Issues: We found four geckos inside the room. When I mentioned this, the host completely dismissed the issue, simply saying, "that's just how it is here." Breakfast: The provided breakfast was very disappointing and not enjoyable. The host herself was friendly enough in her demeanor, but friendliness does not compensate for misleading pictures, broken furniture and fixtures, lack of basic advertised amenities, and poor hygiene. Given the price charged, this stay did not come close to matching the listing. I would not recommend staying here.

−It smelt. Confusion over which room. No water glasses. No loo paper. No bedside table lights. Good picnic breakfast though.

“Good location, very expensive add ons.”
+Our visit started off well when Ash from Habib Camp picked us up from the airport. We were shown to our rooms which although basic were pretty much as expected with ensuite bathrooms and aircon. Beds were a little hard and a bit weird having a duvet with no cover but sheets and pillowcases were clean. Had a welcome drink and Ash offered us lunch which arrived about an hour or so later, nice but fairly basic meals of chicken or fish with rice and salad. We discussed our plans during our 1 night visit and Ash dutifully drove us to the temple for the sound and light show in the evening and then at 5am the following morning he drove us back to the temple for sunrise before driving us back to Habib Camp. We stopped off at a local shop en-route with Ash purchasing our supplies for us and us reimbursung him so we wouldn't be charged overinflated tourist prices, which was very kind.
−The problems came when just before checking out we were given a final bill. It's the first time on our 2 week trip we'd been unable to confirm prices before an activity or meal, each time being told not to worry it would be a fair price. In our opinion it was far from a fair price. We were charged 750egp (approx $15) per person for our lunch, plus an additional 100egp ($2) per soft drink or small bottle of water, water usually selling for about 5egp (10 US cents) a bottle in the shops. For context, In luxor we had been paying 250egp for absolutely stunning meals. For the taxi service we were charged 750egp ($15) per return trip to Abu Simbel Temple, a journey of about 6km and taking maybe 15 minutes. As others have said, the camp is in a very remote location and with an imminent flight to catch we were reliant on transport back to the airport (for which we were charged another $10) so felt we had no choice but to pay otherwise we could have been stranded. Again, for context, in Luxor we paid 650egp ($13) for a driver for the full day taking us to a number of sites in the west bank. We appreciate that Abu Simbel is more remote with less competition than say Luxor or Aswan but the pr
