This hotel is beautiful peaceful gem on a private island. The decoration and detail was so beautiful. Also the staff was great. Especially Mohammed Shuri in the restaurant and Dina at front desk. The grounds were so pretty- flowers , trees , lily pond. Nicest I’ve seen in Egypt. And a gorgeous swimming pool in addition to our private jacuzzi.

I love the place and it is something magic about this hotel, especially that it is so close to the Isis temple, and I love their spa. I felt that this place helped me to do my auto-healing retreat. The food was great and affordable and the staff extremely nice and helpful. I want to come back in the future!!!

Extremely attentive staff made it seem like private concierge service. Being on a separate island was nice to be away from the bustle of town, and it's not isolated, only a 10-15 minute boat ride which is free and on-call from the hotel. Beautiful, beautiful resort

BenBen was a beautiful property that felt like I was transported to Santorini, Greece. The staff, the hotel, the spa, and rooms were amazing! I’ll definitely visit again.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property. Stunning views of surrounding areas and philea temple. Treat yourself to a massage, the lady was very well trained to give a firm Swedish massage. The downside is the food is a bit random and services is slow - you also don't feel hosted. They need a senior hotel.manager on hand all the time.

Am amazing property on an island which overlooks Philae temple. The food at the restaurant was very good (have the Nile perch) and the spa is gorgeous!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the quiet, tranquil location. The staff and service was outstanding, everyone was eager to help. The spa facility was exceptional, particularly Zeinab provided an amazing and relaxing experience. The rooms are large and we had a cold jacuzzi which was very nice in the hot weather. The buffet breakfast was delicious.

Most amazing breakfast and location next to Philea temple and boat ride to hotel saved an extra cost because you are on the Nile so why pay for excursion then just boat a few minutes to the temple a place like this in America would be $400 a night way so safe go and relax

Overall good.

The boat ride was always fun and the food was good. Service was also good. The pick up services are a little pricy considering the cost of living there, but was more professional.

Lovely and unique hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was nice, but they could speed things up by having some coffee in pots already made. Each cup is made individually and slowly. The dinner was just so so. The spa was great. People should be aware they do not serve alcohol, even though is a terrific location for a drink.

Unique and dramatic hotel on island of granite boulders overlooking the Philae Temple. Lovely warm rooms. Great food and spectacular views from the terrace. Downside is that everywhere is a steep climb or series of stairs. Not for the mobility impaired or elderly. If you’re young and active, a perfect spot.
