Villa Misk

The price/performance ratio is pretty good for the local area. A B&B opened by a father and son duo with a good location.

The lake is right in front of you and the view is great, but cars are not allowed and it's a 5-minute dirt road and stairs, so it's impossible to get there with large luggage. There is no reception because it is a privately run business. It's nice to see the children helping out, but they don't help with luggage, which is disappointing for the price.

After the emotional period, I evaluated this inn as objectively as possible. An inn opened by a local in a village next to the old Aswan Dam, about 5 kilometers away from Aswan city. Accommodation service only. All other services (drinking water, breakfast, travel, laundry, Internet) require additional payment. All prices are in US dollars. If you pay in Egyptian pounds, their exchange rate is 💲1=40LE, which is 33% higher than the actual exchange rate. Ctrip should conduct an on-site investigation before evaluating the cost-effectiveness of this price. In a country where the per capita monthly income is only 1,000 yuan, the price of staying in a farmhouse for one room for one night is indeed a bit of a huge profit. Temporary guests, the same room, 💲50 including breakfast, and a living room, it is a complete suite. Fees are just one of them. The landlord is irritable and unreasonable. On the day we arrived, the landlord turned off his phone and there was no answer when he knocked on the door. Later, other residents called the landlord's son. The young man's attitude was blunt and he only explained various charges. The landlord can knock on the door suddenly at night and ask us if we want to go to any attractions or if we need a chartered car or carpooling service. There was no prior phone communication. Because there are no other shops in the village, apart from eating at his house, I can only go to the city. The driver recommended by the landlord's son costs 100 Egyptian pounds per trip, 200 Egyptian pounds for a round trip, and 400 Egyptian pounds to the airport, which is twice the normal fee. If a driver undercharges, the landlord will question it. During the few days I lived there, I felt like a turtle in a urn for the first time. Close the door and rip off customers. We stayed for four nights and only took a shower one afternoon. The landlord turned off the hot water in the middle of the stay. He heard me yelling in the bathroom and turned the hot water on again. He also pretended to ask if he still needed hot water. When I came back from dinner in the evening, I cut off the hot water on the grounds that the water heater was being repaired. The child's father had to wait until he returned to Cairo the next day to take a shower. Because we rested in the inn for a day, the landlord asked us why the network traffic was going so fast? ! Two mobile phones and a daily Internet fee of 💲2, they actually turned on the WiFi after I asked for it every day. We walked out of the village and the villagers were very nice. Answer our questions and help us. The landlord just happened to drive by and didn't recognize us at all. He didn't ask us where we were going. Was it inconvenient? Do we need a ride? Because I chose to live here, my impression of Aswan as a whole was indeed compromised. All the way south from Cairo, this is the only place where I experienced the Egyptians robbing guests. This is my first time giving a negative review to a merchant. I originally wanted not to comment. But since Ctrip is promoting it, I must evaluate it truthfully. The breakfast and dinner tasted good, and I can only say that the hostess was quite polite. Without the kindness of the hostess, there would be nothing comforting about the inn. The house is on the waterfront, next to the pier. There is noisy boat motor noise at night, morning and all day long. The convenience and quietness, including the services provided by the inn, were completely different from the inn on the island near Aswan that we went to later. In short, I don’t recommend it.

If you don’t check in, you can’t get a refund if you ask too early.

The location is good, but the hotel is old and card keys break down very often.

Cozy and ideal for resting and very close to the Temple of Philae

The road in front of the hotel is too narrow, the car is just right, and the driver is frightened, afraid of falling

There was no air conditioning so be careful!
