Very good communication with us. Young man who checked us in was friendly and good English. The hotel is on the water but not a well traveled areas yet on the boat docks. We walked on the hill to the small local store for drinks and snacks and paid 1/5 what we had in the past. $1.70 got us 4 drinks, three bags of chips and ice cream! Room was fine, TV didn’t work and they did offer us “upgrade” room for $15 to one with A/C but we were fine in late March without.

Ahmed and his family run and amazing guest house. Ahmed was very inviting and gracious and has done an unbelievable job building his dream. Not many dining options in the immediate area but you really don’t need to leave. The food was excellent and only surpassed by the views of the lake and Philae Temple.

I do not know how this property got the good reviews it has as it is absolutely terrible. If you're a foreign traveler stay away from this... It is impossible to find, even the local have no idea where it is. Access is via a dirt road where I would think twice before going, if I were alone. There is NOTHING around it and one would be very ill advised to venture outside on foot. The room was pretty basic, by no means a "VIP property". Breakfast was cheap, $4 per person, but just as bad. It will put some calories into your stomach, but it won't be something you'd look forward to repeat. All in all a bad experience. It does not deserve to be listed on Expedia.

Dear Mr Ifrim , An Israeli traveling with an American Passport :I totally understand your concerns traveling through an Arab country during this tens period of the Israeli atrocities in Gaza !We, At Villa Misk host all travelers of all nationalities, races and religions with open arms ,strongly believing that Travel is shortest way to bridge gaps between cultures and bring people together in peace and respect,You, Rather than hiding your identity Should be Proud of your Jewish heritage, just As I and My maid that was wearing the Palestinian scarf Are Proud Arabs and Are Proud supporters of the Palestinian human rights The Fact that you Hate and Despise Arabs and Palestinians to the extent that you Decide to PUNISH us with this Vindictive,Toxic and full of lies review is not going to change our solid believe in diversity, Dignity and humanity You’re wondering how this property got the GOOD REVIEWS it has ?!?! I’ll tell you how ! : We Had reviewers that were honest, impartial, objective, fair and wrote about their stays at villa misk with a heart free of hatred, Grudges and animosity!! They wrote about their TRUE experience, They DOD NOT use their reviews as blackmailing vindictive tool !! “The Room Was Pretty Basic” ??!! , What more than an Air conditioner, a flat screen tv, a MiniBar , a super comfortable bed , mattress and beddings would you want in a room to qualify for a “Deluxe” Room Rather than a “Pretty Basic” Room ???!!! An Israeli flag perhaps ??! Breakfast ??!! I really don’t want to go commenting on that .. I guess Only You , the maid and Me know the roots and the purpose of this review!! It’s Both Sad and Pathetic!!Thank You for Choosing Villa Misk and Thank You for Your amazing efforts to find our “impossible to find” location

The area is remote. Very limited food/restaurant. The owner live upstairs and most of the time no one is downstairs. If you need something, you have to ring the bell at the counter. If you want to order food you have to order in advance at least 1 hour. There is room without AC, so check what’s included before you pay.

Thank You Vena for the kind review,First ,as for the Area being Remote ,as you said it yourself personally to us, it is actually the best strong point of the property as it insures tranquility and the most stunning lake view in Aswan , Yet We're just 10 minutes Taxi ride to the City center , and just 10 minutes drive to the Airportas for the food , again You saw for yourself that We ONLY Use fresh ingredients and We strictly Don't Do freezer to microwave food, and every dish is made to order as we don't reheat food , So ,Yes We clearly advertise on our Menu that it takes up to One hour between order and serving .And Again , Yes We clearly advertise that We have TWO Room types at our property, One type with Air-condition and another type Without air-condition, and obviously each type has a different price therefore I fail to understand where is the problem !And last but not least , Yes , I Do live upstairs , therefore I'm available 24/7 !! Just ring the bell and I'm there , just like you Said !Thanks a million for choosing to stay at Villa MISK

Two days stay
I felt I was a guest to a local family house, not a hotel. Ahmed the owner was extremely helpful even though he was away at the time of my stay but he was just a phone call away and very responsive. With all the tips and tricks he was providing about Aswan and sightseeing, I felt the whole time as if I was a family member to him and not simply a tourist from another country. The place is located in front of lake with beautiful view from the window and very calm away from the city business. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a calm area and great host.

Hi Thamer,We seriously regret that you had such a “terrible” experience staying with us . We would have loved if you would detail your reasons for rating us “terrible” , unless of course , booking a standard room without Aircondition and expecting a deluxe Airconditioned room at the same Price is in your opinion a fair reason to rate us so !!Again , We confirm our utmost commitment to the satisfaction of our guests, but again we repeat that will never give in to blackmailing using the reviews as a method to get something you didn’t pay for!! The attitude of “either give me what I want regardless of whether I deserve it or not or else a bad review” will never work with us ,Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and the best of luck

This place made me feel at home although I was far from home. I stayed here to visit Abu Simbel and Philae temple and it was our experience was amazing and one of the nicest place we stayed at during our Egypt travel. It’s a family owned place and the owner is so accommodating. All rooms have a gorgeous view of the Nile River. All rooms were clean with nice clean sheets and towels. I felt safe here and would recommend staying here to anyone. Also, they have a good menu to order off of and our meals were so good! You can tell everything was made with fresh and clean ingredients. 13/10 would come back here and recommend to anyone staying in Aswan area

I difinatley recommend Villa Milk. My husband and I had a wonderful time. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Our host Ahmed is an extremely intelligent and well travelled man. He spoke English like he was born in the USA. He is well traveled and has lived in the USA for many years. Ahmed and my husband had a long conversation on Yellowstone National Park. I will remember this experience fondly for the rest of my life. Don't miss this experience. Stay at least a few days so you can explore the area, including the Nubian village nearby. There is also a good Nubian restaurant nearby. Lots of boats nearby to take a few our cruise. Thank You Mohammed and family!

It was not what I expected. The area was dangerous, dirty, and remote (nothing nearby that’s walkable). Most of the Taxis won’t go there because it’s hard to get down the dirt path. The owner is never around so his young boy and wife do all of the work (speak little English). Finding switches and working plugs for anything is a real challenge. Note, “ring the bell for service” is not anywhere but they expect you to find the bell and know this before you come.

Stayed with my 2 brothers for 3 days. The owner Ahmed and his son Jospeh are great hosts. The hotel is very clean and they helped us set up transport to anywhere we wanted to go at great prices. They also have a nice food selection. My brother is a picky eater and he loved the food. If your looking for a simple but well kept hotel this is it.

We only had a one night stay but had a very good experience here. The view from the hotel is the best in Aswan. Ahmed speaks fluently in English and was able to arrange transportation for us as well as sort out an issue with our tour booking. We arrived extremely early for check in without warning him and he was able to accomodate us quickly. He can organize tours as well. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only downside is that there is not much at walking distance but a short taxi ride to town is easily arranged.

QUIET OASIS OUTSIDE CENTRAL ASWAN
This place is a calm, NON-SMOKING (tough to fill that criteria in Egypt) oasis far away from the chaos of central Aswan.It is a family-run operation and while it does not have the frills of an upscale hotel or a Western hotel, it makes up for it with its beautiful location overlooking Philae dock and impeccable customer service along with fast WiFi and ample hot water supply.Luckily, the rooms don’t actually face the busy tourist dock itself but overlook the Aswan Harbor.My room had a balcony and I caught some SPECTACULAR sunsets in the evening.I was hard pressed to find a decent location in Aswan without breaking the bank!The host & his son are incredibly prompt and address any concerns with no delay.The doors & gate have multiple locks and I felt safe here.You can order excellent,authentic food with the onsite chef at very affordable prices.I had awesome pizza,soup,rice all tailor-made with some minor tweaks to suit my palette.There is also a tiny kitchen in the lounge with access to hot water,tea,sugar & Nescafe.The hosts speak IMPECCABLE English and there was no problem communicating what I needed.Some reviewers have complained about the location being remote and nothing much to do/see around.That is the WHOLE POINT of this location,to unplug and give your brain & body a calm place to rest up amid a tranquil setting.If you are expecting frivolities like tons of tissue paper,many toss pillows, lots of towels to throw around,disposable cutlery,this is not the place for you.

Small, family-run hotel on the banks of the Nile below the old dam. Located in a residential neighborhod with a view of the Philae Temple, a short boat ride away. Although no alcohol is served, you can order from a set menu that is cooked from scratch, the cook is excellent.

First of all, the view from the hotel is beautiful. However please beware of these differences so you won’t be disappointed: 1. The hotel is a 20-25 mins drive from downtown aswan As of Jan 2023 a 1 way taxi costs 150-200 egp. Plus the hotel is located on a small dirt road so some taxi drivers do not know its location. Although Careem (Uber equivalent) is available in Aswan, they don’t cover this area. we booked a ride with them but when the driver came to pick us up at the train station he told us that Careem doesn’t cover this area & therefore we have to pay a different price. 2. Very limited dining options around this area 3. Not much to do or see in the area beside the view. 4. The hotel has basic amenities, such as no shampoo, no tissues paper & only 2 bath towels (no hand or wash towels) The shower area is very small so when you take a shower, the whole bathroom is wet. There’s no one in the reception area so if you need something, you'll have to either call or text the owner & this may take some time. Just make sure that you ask all your questions in advance 😀

Unexpected magic
We found this place on Hotels.com and it didn't start well. An obstroperous taxi driver and a closed hotel that was some way from where we were dropped off. However, after that, it was magical. A great and intelligent host with perfect information, a night boat pick-up to go to the local restaurant across the Nile was right up there. Moreover, transport to Abu Simbel acquired easily and, while expensive, was worth it for the convenience. The dusk and sunset views from the room were magnificent and the bed/bed linen were of the highest quality, especially needed after the sleeper train from Cairo. This is a special place

Property was conveniently located for excellent access to Philae Temple! Private boat transfer came up, right across from the hotel. Property owner was excellent! Super helpful with anything that was required.

A well spent night in Aswan
I had the briefest of stays due to a tight travel schedule but the cleanliness of the facilities and friendliness of the staff make it very easy to recommend Villa MIsk. I arrived after the local eateries had closed and they were lovely enough to make a much needed and much enjoyed snack; I felt very well looked after.

Love it here
The Villa Misk is a great spot to stay in right next to the Philae Temple and it is right next to the Nile River. Ahmed is a great host he scheduled all of our private transportation to Abu Simbel and on top of it he scheduled all our rides to visit all the temples in Luxor and the valley of the kings and queens. He made the our trip stress free and on top it he schedule our sunrise balloon ride over the valley of the kings.

Love the view from the villa. Faces the boats and can see beautiful sunset. Quiet and very conducive place for rest and going to Philae Temple. The owner, Ahmed is very helpful, very kind and supportive, helped us to organize the trip to Abu Simble. After we left the hotel, he even helped us arranged Nile Cruise, hot air balloon rider in Luxor. I have to say without his help, my trip wouldn't be that smooth and enjoyable, I really appreciated Ahmed's help.
