10/10 Exceptional

We truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Misk and were especially impressed by the staff’s hospitality—an authentic example of Egyptian warmth. Ahmed was incredibly helpful in planning our trips to Luxor and Abu Simbel.

10/10 Exceptional

A quiet, family-run small hotel with a beautiful Nile view right in front of Philae Temple. We were quite stressed due to a Nile cruise no-show, but the hotel kindly helped us arrange an Abu Simbel tour and a comfortable private car transfer to Luxor at a very reasonable price. Their support made our stay much easier and more enjoyable.

This was excellent in all respects. Room large and clean, beautiful view of Nile 24 hours a day. Management was great, very helpful in assisting us in finding our way around the sites to see. Staff was friendly and helpful in so many ways. The location was excellent, very quiet and peaceful. Laundry service quick and inexpensive. We strongly recommend Villa Misk.

clean room, comfortable bed, nice and clean bathroom, most helpful owner who provided customized private tour at a reasonable price. The hotel is next to the ferry to Philae temple but far away from everything else. But they provided every meal we needed. Great view of the harbor, the old dam and Philae temple.

The view from the roof is outstanding. Wanted some quiet after busy cairo amd Luxor, find it here. And if there is something better than the view, it's the host and his family. Ahmed made it easy for me to go around the city and philae temple that you can even see from the room. Thanks very much Ahmed you made my trip to Aswan really unforgettable.

We stayed with Ahmed and he was so helpful in helping us at the last minute to find a driver to take us to Luxor. It was high season and last minute and yet he was able to accomplish that and help us throughout the trip even though the driver had some car trouble. He went above and beyond a service level that was among the best that I've seen in my previous 100+ countries that I've traveled to.

A hidden gem with views of Phllae Temple

Villa Misk is a real gem. The views are stunning, the room comfortable and clean. The home made food was divine and the owner Ahmed was so helpful with arranging excursions and imparting valuable advice about the cruises. The local road to get there is unpaved - but keep the course because it is worth it !

Great property with an amazing view at the Nile river! This was my first time traveling to Aswan and I am happy that I choose this hotel. Ahmed, the property owner was helpful and kind. He was able to get me a driver to Abu Simbel and to Luxor with little notice, definitely an amazing experience!

The owner is very friendly and speaks perfect English. He arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport and bring us to the hotel. The area in front of the hotel is beside the river. There was some construction happening on the the building that was a little inconvenient at the entrance, but the room was great! Cold air conditioning, comfortable beds ample sized room with beautiful view of the Nile and boats out the window.

Great view and great food

We only stayed one night, but the hotel management was very helpful and thoughtful during our time. They made us feel very welcome. In particular, the food was excellent. Like a home cooked meal.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel owner, Ahmed, is a very nice and helpful person. We ended up in Villa Misk after our reservation for a nile cruise from Aswan To Luxor was canceled the night before. So I made a last-minute reservation at Villa Misk and called them right after. Ahmed was very warm and helpful over the phone. After we got to the hotel, he greeted us and he helped us arrange a tour to Abu Simbel for the next time. Hotel itself is in an area outside the city. The initial room I had booked online did not have river view and had only a ceiling fan, we upgraded our stay to a room with river view and air conditioner for $20 additional fee per night and I think it was well worth it. The view was gorgueos. Thank you for all your help Ahmed!

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.

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.

6/10 Good

Good place to stay if you are on a budget.

We arrived around midnight, and we had arranged to have them pick us up from the airport. This worked great and they provided great service. The hotel is small and run by a family. They provided good service in getting our luggage up to our room. The furniture in the room was outdated and felt dusty. The bathroom was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We paid extra to have breakfast the next morning. It was served family style and none of the foods appealed to me. There was no coffee or tea. The water bottles provided were not cold. Overall, it is a good place to stay if you are on a budget and you want to see the Philae temple which is pictured on their website/

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.

From 8,000 miles away, Mr Shawky of Villa Misk foresaw and took care of all of my concerns. He took care of my transportation to and from the airport, train station, and any tours that I wanted. He saw to it that I had delicious home-cooked meals served at inconvenient hours, with plenty of drinking water! He knew that Philae and the controversy of damming the Nile were of great interest to me, and not only shared his personal insight, but arranged for a private boat tour with guide and pilot, who took me out to this phoenix of a temple, and then showed me the lake from dam to dam, to show me more of the unimaginable! My stay was cared for by staff who made me feel at home, and let me relax after an arduous journey, while preparing for the next. Ahmed gave me a room with a panoramic view of the harbor and Philae Temple itself! He gifted me more than just a suite, he gave me memories that will last a lifetime. It took a bus, three planes, and a taxi for me to get to Villa Misk, but once there, I could have just sat by their window admiring the view and it would have been worth it, but only because Ahmed was in the background handling all of my concerns! I thank him, and all of the Villa Misk staff for their efforts. Each and every one of them went out of their way to make my stay a beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing your home with me!

8/10 Very good

Initially scary, but clean room, great host & view

Villa Misk scared us when we first got there. It looks very unfinished, and is a project under construction, and the road outside is a mud road, at least when we got there in Feb 2025. But the host, Ahmed, has an American accent and is very friendly and hospitable, as is his family. The room we had was spacious, with an amazing view of lake Nasser, the motorboats in the lake, and the Island of the temple of Isis. The breakfast was authentic Egyptian, but for me personally, it was passable. There is very little around the Villa itself in terms of shopping and restaurants, but the host set us up with a reasonably priced driver that made us feel less stuck. Uber does not work in Aswan, so you need a driver, or the taxis will rip you off. The host also set us up with a motorboat on the evening we arrived, and we saw lake Nasser, the Nubian island of Heissa, and the temple of Isis at night.

2/10 Poor

Very bad hotel. The only advantage is that it’s very close to the Philae Temple. There were lots of mosquitoes, and the bathroom door was broken—we couldn’t use it at all. On top of that, there’s nothing around the hotel, so you’re basically forced to eat dinner there, which was both awful and overpriced.
