“Bad”
+We left before even staying there. There is a nice view to the water and a small stony beach to take a bath in the Nile. It's very quiet, but deserted.
−We didn't dare to stay, after 1,5 h of waiting for cleaning everything the bathroom was very disgusting, hairs everywhere and shit leftovers in the toilet. The beds didn't have prober blankets as it was 10 degree at night. A very small and dark room, very small window. Shared cooking area very dirty. We left, and filed a complain. And one needs to know only by private boat one can access the island. To a small boat deck below the hostel

“Worst experience ever,-scam”
+Worst place ever -filthy
−SCAM ALERT! Do not book this place I booked this property based on the photos and description, but what I got was completely different. The place was dirty, poorly maintained, and nothing like the pictures. It was so bad that I had to check out on the same day. To make matters worse, the owner refused to refund me anything, even though the property was clearly misrepresented. They are running a scam, using fake photos to trick people I recently booked in heissa hostel on [feb 2025] through booking. The listing showed a clean and well-maintained property, but when I arrived, it was nothing like the photos. The place was dirty, unlivable, and completely misrepresented. Due to these issues, I had no choice but to check out immediately. However, despite these valid concerns, I was denied a refund. This is unacceptable and goes against fair business practices. I am requesting a full refund for this misleading booking. I have attached photos as proof of the false advertising and poor conditions.

“Superb”
+Om Youssef was supportive, I liked the view and location comfortable mattress. They offered a fresh guava juice as a welcome drink and always asked if I need anything. I really like the place and the welcoming vibe.
−Needs to be cleaner.. The bedsheets were not clean but they kindly replaced it when I asked.. Also the kitchen.. On the other side, they worked on all comments mentioned and I enjoyed my stay.

“It was just like a dream out of the city noise”
+Heissa Hostel was perfectly what we were looking for. A beautiful guesthouse on the Nile where we really felt like home. Om Youssef and Om Rayan, our hosts are absolutely the Highlight of our stay. Both are very kind and very helpful. They took care if the slightest details and made sure that we are having the best Experience. The food is so yummy, cooked with so much love ❤️ we can’t wait to come again ! We recommend it 100%
−Nothing.
