+ Nothing at all

- Nothing was good and he was not polite at all We though the breakfast was free like always but he let us pay for it 100 pounds And with his speech he was so aggressive with us

+ Gemeinsamer Raum und ruhiger Ort

- Der Host ist sehr aggressiv, racist und versucht die Gäste mit teuren Preise abzuziehen. Ich empfehle diese Unterkunft nicht vor allem für die Alleinreisende Frauen und muslimisch aussehende Männer.

+ 价格不太高,位置有点偏 免费单车,不兑现。早餐要收三刀。

- 老板很无礼,我说预定时有说免费单车,他就回:No。我问有没热水?他说没有,还说我提的要求很过分。此人严重歧视中国人。得知我只住一天就退房,就骂骂咧咧,骂中国人很愚蠢。甚至追出来抢夺我手里的房间钥匙……。

+ Le calme extérieur du camp relativement éloigné du centre. La vue depuis l'extérieur, sur le Nil. Le café d'à coté avec leurs plats servis. La nudité de la chambre. Un lit, une table de.nuit, un ventilo, 2 ampoules au plafond. Et la visite des chats la nuit, car il n'y a pas de moustiquaires.

- Tout. À l'arrivée, à 20h. Le patron m'a proposé une chambre plus grande, une fois dedans, il a doublé le tarif, ok, avec une salle de bain .. J'ai payé en cash le double. Fatiguée du voyage, j'ai été manger dans le restaurant d'à côté, sympa.. ensuite, je me suis rendue compte de l'état des lieux et j'ai dû désinfecter moi-même les wc et la chambre, car le patron etait allé se coucher, et Il n'y avait plus que son fils à 21 h. Je lui ai montré la saleté sous le lit, poussières papiers, préservatif usagé, sous le lit. et les.wc dégueulasse, mais il m'a juste montré où sont les balais et donné un produit bizarre ! . Le linge lavé dans une machine centenaire par le patron pend au milieu du camp, et ça pue la pisse de chat et de chien. le camp 'est sale, la propreté ni dedans, ni dehors, n'existe pas. Beaucoup d'insectes volants, et les canapés sous la fenetre sont squatter jour et nuit. La porte ne fermait pas vraiment à clé, et il m'a encore dit que c'est ma faute!. Il a été irrespectueux, malhonnête dès le premier soir, et m'a refusé le déjeuner le lendemain parce que je n'ai pas accepté ses avances. Je n'ai pas insisté, et j'ai réservé ailleurs dès que j'ai pu, ayant eu un problème d'argent,j'ai dû patienter 4 jours , mais, cela à mal fini, il m'a étranglée, jetée par terre et piétinée!! le matin de mon départ !! Remboursée partiellement à la demande de la Police Egyptienne du Tourisme de Luxor, le jour même.

Unfortunately the staff ruin the place. He was the worst scammer for tourist in Egypt. The place is nice but the owner is really aggressive. if you do not take any service from him ( bikes...) he gets crazy and aggressive. I suggest you to go to this place but never taken any service without bargain,even the price for the room. The young son is really good,unfortunately the father is too crazy

Ich kann die guten Bewertungen leider gar nicht verstehen, für mich war das vermutlich das schlechteste Hostel, in dem ich je war. Der 24/7 Check-In stimmt nicht, ich habe nachts um 2 Uhr jemand wach klingeln müssen. Meine Zimmertür ging nicht, ,,ich solle etwas davor schieben ». Duschen hab ich keine gesehen, die Klos waren vollgepinkelt und eklig. Hab zum ersten Mal mit Hygieneschlafsack geschlafen. Mir wurde am nächsten Tag ein anderes Zimmer angeboten, das ebenfalls sehr dreckig aussah...

Very nice place to stay ! The owner, Ahmed, is a very nice person, we spent a lot of time discussing with him in the beautiful decorated terrace. Cool place to chill and very good location on west bank side of Luxor.

+ Vieta atokiau nuo kitų, bet nesunku rasti. Viskas paprasta, kaip ir priklauso pagal kainą. Savininkas malonus, perkėlė į geresnį kambarį, iškeitė pinigus padoriu kursu. Patiko pabendrauti - aukštas demagogijos pilotažas (tai komplimentas). Galima išsinuomoti dviračius ir aplankyti turistinius objektus. Jei ieškote ekonominio varianto, ši vieta jums.

Amazing place to stay in Luxor! Ahmed is a wonderful person who was so kind during our stay, a very honest and trustworthy person. He let us borrow his bikes, arranged a car for local price, let us use his kitchen and did our laundry. The place is clean and relaxed and feels like home with a lovely outdoor seating area full of birdsong. Thank you Ahmed!

+ -friendly and helpful host -the property can arrange for different activities and facilities (biking, hot air ballon, etc) -spacious room -friendly vibe and nice garden -it was quite clean

- -the location is a bit further away from ferry or the attractions and it is close by a mosque so the call to prayer at around 3-5am can wake people up. Bring earplugs. The street in front is not paved. -bed mattress isn’t the best

A quirk rare gem. Super! Amazing place for the price! Rustic yet charming. The trees...individual cabin/hut style units or rooms. Charismatic staff. No fake "Please Sir, No Sir" communication here. Dont' be afraid to give your best back to the brilliantly real opinionated and knowledgeable main host Ahmed. He's loved and lived a varied amazing life. Remind him to be his very Best and enjoy the Nile,nature and all the incredible history so nea. Ferries, boats, shops, food all close by too. FAB!

+ The place is spectacular. Directly in front of the Nile river on the west bank It offered a slower and more relaxed pace than the east bank. The Host Ahmed was nothing short of the beauty and calm his place offered. Very kind and generous as well as mindful. He was great at facilitating activities as well as making one feel right at home. A wonderful place to experience.

Great value for money. Prefer the calmth of the West Bank. Private huts. Not the most modern but worth it when looking at the price. And great owner.
