The place is in a remote location in the calm waters, facing the Philae Temple. Room feels like a highly comfortable house in a dream village. Spa facilities are amazing, I would highly recommend the Egyptian hot stamp massage of Mrs. Zainab. The staff is super kind, joyous and peaceful, Mr. Shoum from the restaurant, making my check-out breakfast box with a fresh mango juice ready in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Merna and Mr. Joseph in the front desk being very helpful, upgrading my room to a jakuzi room, solving all my requests in minutes and, Mr. Besim delivering me my necklaces (that I realized that I forgot in my bathrobe’s pocket in the airport) in a speedy way right to the airport, all unforgettable… With the elegantly natural interior and exterior design in breeze of basil Ben Ben by Dhara is an oasis for Egyptian tourism.
Because the place takes place in the lower dam you need to reach there by taxi and take the hotel’s boat waiting in the dock, but it’s worth the distance. I’d highly recommend, do not hesitate.

The place is a perfect getaway away from the hustle and bustle of Aswan (and much needed). The pool is nice and the atmosphere is lovely. You can swim in the Nile too! The manager upgraded our room free of charge and provided takeaway breakfasts for us when we had to leave at 4am for a flight. Would 100% recommend if you have a few days and want to relax. Best place to stay in the area hands down.

The owner was very (very!) friendly and everyone was so kind and welcoming. The buffet breakfast was really nice too, and the location is nice and chilled by the river. This hotel though is not close to Aswan, so you will need to take boats/cars to get into Aswan and some of the nearby sights. Transport options are limited, but other than this, the place was very nice to stay at, I had a wonderful time!

I love all of it! The location is perfect, the house is just beautiful with all the nice colors and paintings and amazing views to the Nile. I stayed in a very comfortable and big room with a small balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful specially Aya and Tamer. And Tamer even speaks a bit of Spanish which is not common in Egypt. The breakfast is amazing as well as the Egyptian food options available if you want to have lunch or dinner. It is very nice to walk around the streets of the Nubian village and there is a local market very close where you can find lots of nice things.

Unlike Cairo, Aswan is much slower paced and people are much nicer. The city has several historical sites, temples, and islands. The views and food are amazing. I’m skipping Cairo on my next trip to Egypt and coming straight to Aswan and Luxor.

A very beatiful place to relax and enjoy the sun during winter.
We felt very safe and happy.
The local market is great it has unique and authentic goods.
The philae Temple is great it has spots to take photos and great views.
We enjoyed the Botonical Garden very much as it has plants from all over the world.
The feluca ride is one of the best things we enjoyed but first you have to agree on the price.

Tombs of the Nobles were really neat if you can make it over to the other bank. Watch out for the camel guys there though. We got roped into $50 camel rides.
Aswan was probably our least favorite stop in Egypt. Harassment by salespeople was higher here than at the Great Pyramids, and much higher than Luxor! We couldn't walk anywhere at anytime of the day without a salesperson walking with us for several blocks. And as soon as they were done, someone else would take over. Its too bad, I think the corniche could be a really pretty walk!

Aswan is pleasant pretty city on upper Nile within easy day excursion to Abu Simbel. Don't ride camel at Giza, ride one at Aswan out into the desert. Ride felucca boat around Elephantine Island. Eat at King Jamaica restaurant. Stop to see unfinished obelisk

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

I didn’t realize that the hotel was undergoing a little construction. It looked like they were upgrading their ramp. This meant we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the lobby.
The property is beautiful and has a terrific view of the town and we could see the Nile from our room. The restaurant was very good- we had dinner there.
BTW the construction noise never bothered us. We couldn’t hear it at all.

If you are doing the Initiatic path, Elephantine Island is so perfect. We stayed at Mango Tree (feel like exotic move stars) and Nubian Dreams (also a restaurant but we scored their top floor room and that is super fun) We also stayed at Nubian Palace, oh my gosh. Take a little private ferry and go to that place. Its so memorable. Philae temple was set up from our host at Nubian Palace (which we usually never do but she is a badass and handles it so you don't have to negotiate to and from the ferry marina) Stay on the west bank. Never the east. Its so loud and full of hustle. The west bank is like real Egypt. Lovely. Easy to start the temple path to Abu Simbel by hopping on a local large bus. Fun, cheap, easy. (Its a little more coming back but its all very cheap so be nice and accept the system) From here you can take a train, bus or private taxi to Kom Ombo and Edfu as you make your way to Luxor. (ALSO STAY ON THE WEST BANK in luxor) What a lovely quiet and profoundly spiritual adventure.
This hotel is really good, in particular when compared to other hotels in Aswan/Egypt. The location is on an island in the Nile, so you will need to get there with the boat, which was actually very easy. Rooms are pretty big and really clean, with solid view on the Nile, depending on your position. I did not understand which rooms are the ones with the nice balcony and the Nile view, but most of them aren't. There is a heated swimming pool outdoor, so you can swim even if the temperature is not that high.
Enjoyed a fantastic stay at a hotel with friendly staff, particularly Kareem, who fulfilled all our requests with a smile. The rooms were clean. The terrace restaurant offered affordable, fresh local cuisine and shisha. We really enjoyed it!
The well-planned Abu Simbel Temple tour included an early breakfast meal box, allowing us to avoid crowds and explore leisurely.
Overall, a delightful experience in Aswan thanks to the hotel's excellent service and thoughtful arrangements. Highly recommended!
Good location. Lovely decorations and room is quite new with good view to Nile river with balcony. Service is exceptional, over our expectations at first. Good stop to stay and discover Aswan after some discoveries with long walking in Cairo since the hotel is very quite and made us feel very peaceful with good sleep. Can book boat tour directly from hotel too with reasionable price. Besides, love the hotel's staff and manager, all is super duper supportive.
We loved being immersed in the community, stepping out the door to local markets and restaurants was so much fun. We are a family of 4 and had the second floor to ourselves which was clean, spacious and comfortable. Mustafa was amazing, always making sure we were comfortable and organised for all our sightseeing at great prices. I don’t think our stay in Aswan would have been the same staying anywhere else. A real gem for our Egypt experience.
Clean place, friendly host, flexible arrangement, with foid on site to buy. Location is great, safe. Close to a fantastic restaurant. Near a great 5 star hotel for a fancy night out. It is quiet at night. Wifi is great. Deko is also gratefully extended my stay to more nights. Cleaning stuff are diligent. Nice view over the Niles,. A 5 pound ferry from the center of Aswan. Few min walk from the ferry.
Beautiful location in the heart of Aswan. Wonderful hotel with very attentive and caring staff. Everyone from the management to the cooking staff made you feel very welcome and genuinely happy to see you. We loved the staff everywhere especially Ahmed-Khalaf in the dining area who brought us special food every night and French fries for my 10 year old. we loved every minute of our stay there.
We are well travelled middle aged couple. The hotel had one of the best views. We stayed in a Nile ile view suite.
The suite had the most beautiful bathroom and spacious, and the view of the Aswan nile view.
The pool area has the best view and the staff around the pool and the restaurants were wonderful.
Not the same for the female reception staff.
It was a super nice stay. The location was very beautiful. The rooms were huge. I loved the swimming pool. Horres the manager was so kind and helped us with everything from booking taxis to ordering food to booking us into the light and sound show at the temple. Thanks so much for everything! It was the best place we stayed in Egypt.
We spent 1 night at the hotel and it was magnificent, everything was extremely perfect, view, food,hospitality, and cleanliness .. the stuff is very good specially Ahmed and Mohamed they are funny and helpful, they brought us boat with a good price to take us to Aswan, it was really good experience, exactly like what we expected.
Good and unique Nubian style room.
near some branch of Nile river.
spacious, private and quiet villa for 3 people.
electronic mosquito killer which is rare in Egyptian hotels.
good air-conditioner.
comparatively good price with other choices in Aswan. Guess this is because the avg price for Aswan hotels is high.
I was a little shocked to learn our hotel was on an actual island. I loved the little boat ride to get there. The hotel was exceptional. Clean. Great breakfast. Nicer than I would have imagined especially for the price. I wish we stayed longer and I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Aswan.
We liked this accommodation very much. It was a little far from the town but with community ferry it was fast to get to the center. The ferry only costs 10 egyptian pounds for person (0.20 €) and it's very fast. They make us breakfast boxes when we went to Abu Simbel. The view from the hotel was wonderful.
I visted Basma Hotel with my father.The warm hospitality of the staff who were attentive to all our needs and attention to details was superb. Our meals were servrd on time and the food was delicious. They also helped me book the ticket to Cairo. I'm defenitely visiting again 😍. Thank you Basma Team.
Quality of small hotels in Egypt are so far away from european standards, so it was a really nice surprise to find this gem in Aswan region. Clean, good service, peculiar decoration and excellent view to river..A must to have half board ( delicious lunch) and to taste the nunbian coffee..thanks
Fantastic guesthouse, easily accessible from the west bank by a fixed price ferry( no haggling required). There is a great restaurant with delicious tagine and beer at the landing. It was the best hotel we stayed at in Egypt and could have stayed for a week.
One of the best places we stayed at in Egypt within the price range. Large room, large and clean bathroom. Lovely host Habib, who arranged everything we needed. Fantastic food at the sister hotel down the road.
The staff were very friendly, kind and helpful. The hotel and room are very simple to stay short trip in Aswan. The restaurant is at the 6th floor, so the view was so wonderful.
Nile river side, independent lodge type room, pool, restaurant, are standardly nice as a resort hotel. however the price shown at the booking com was not fair.
