“Best view in aswan and hotel with the best value!!!”
+Location is absolutely amazing! Mido was very nice and kind and not pushy. We met a German women who also stayed there as a co host and we had such a nice conversation!!! The cleaning is very good and the rooms on the roof floor shares a massive rooftop that just facing the most scenic views of the nile :) Mido was so kind to help us with the luggages and his kids are so cute and nice:) the island is also hassle free - Noone is following you. It is also accessible by the public ferry for 15 egp. The price is set and is like 2 mins ride. You can take the minibus from the city center (by the seaside) to the ferry! There is also a carrefour near the ferry station! After the ferry you don't need to walk up!! Just walk to the first right (between the shops ) and go by the football court, and then keep walking to the nile and you will see the building!(refer to my photo!) I recommend this place !!!!!!!
−There are just a few things I hope the host can improve (I am being completely honest and brutal): - The washroom had some used soaps and no any shower gel. That would be very nice if they provide just the very basic shower gel. - The furniture can be upgraded - find some simple one and rearrange the layout a bit. The lace on the cabinet might need some changes.

“Hidden Gem 💎💎 on Elephantine island”
+We like the place as it has a beautiful view of the Nile and it is very close to the ferry , but away from the hustle and bustle of Aswan. Mido is very helpful as he dropped us at the train station on his boat. Don't think twice just book this place.

+We stayed in one of the upstairs rooms, which was comfortable and featured a wonderful terrace overlooking the ever-changing scenery of the Nile. Our hosts Mido and Baky are both genuinely kind and helpful, creating a very welcoming and personal atmosphere. Breakfast is basic but fresh and tasty. We spent three lovely days in Aswan and on Elephantine Island, which offers a wonderfully relaxed pace of life. No cars, hot asphalt or pushy vendors , instead, a peaceful breathing space, one step closer to the real Africa. NB: The public ferry to the island has gender-segregated seating.

“This is the place to go on Elephantine!”
+We couldn't have been treated better. It was just like being at home. This has been our favorite place so far in Egypt, and the location is fantastic. The whole island has a laid back feel and we've had no hassles. We booked a 3 hour boat ride through the guest house and they also arranged for our transport to Abu Simbel and back. All at a very fair price. There was no hard sell for tours which we appreciated. Any issues we had were taken care of right away, we also got a lot of good information from them. Don't hesitate to book here if you are looking for somewhere to relax and be treated like family. I would happily come back again anytime.

+Because we arrived too late, and the original accommodation was fully booked or due to other reasons, we did not stay at the host's place and were arranged to stay at another homestay next door. The scenery was decent, but the bathroom facilities were not fully equipped, the room had no windows, and the sanitary conditions were average. The air conditioning was acceptable, the breakfast was average, and the host who received us was friendly, but they had limited English proficiency.

“Cute place”
+Very comfortable room with a nice ceiling fan and air-conditioning. The owner was very helpful in getting me some medications. Nearby restaurant, Kana Kato, has very good food at an excellent price.
−Wifi was very poor.

“A super good stay in Aswan”
+The staffs are super helpful!! When I arrived at the stay, I was dropped off at the wrong location. Luckily, Baky helped by asking a staff member to pick us up. The boat driver was incredibly helpful as well; he picked us up from the wrong spot in a private boat and even introduced us to various sights along the river. It was so heartwarming to arrive in Aswan! There's no need to worry,you won’t be scammed! Additionally, the view from the stay is absolutely amazing!
−The facilities in the toilet could be improved. While they meet the standard for Egypt, enhancing the amenities, such as offering shampoo and shower gel, would make a significant difference.

“Esperienza autentica e host fantastico”
+La posizione é molto comoda sull’isola Elefantina, pochi minuti a piedi dal molo e l’host Mido é stato davvero gentile e disponibile, ha fatto il possibile per venire incontro alle nostre esigenze. Consiglio tantissimo un tour in barca con lui, ci ha raccontato anneddoti sul luogo e sui nubiani e questo ha reso la nostra esperienza sull’isola ancora più autentica.
−La pulizia è quella di una guest house, si potrebbe migliorare e renderebbe l’esperienza ancora più bella

+地理位置可以，坐船上岛后直接沿着足球场右转，过了球场后左手边的建筑就是（和主图一样的这栋楼），这样就不用跟着导航拖着行李上坡再下坡折返了，全是沙土路非常难走！三楼有两间客房，左侧的比较小，右侧的空间很大，露台景观非常不错，俯瞰尼罗河，可以看日落帆船。女管家服务态度超级好，说话慢慢的交代仔细，早餐好吃。
