Serious Safety Issues

Well, it had to happen sometime – my first one star review.
I cannot comment on the rooms because we decided not to stay after a very concerning experience with transport organised by the Amon Guest House.
Before our arrival, the owner of the guest house offered a taxi transfer between Aswan and Abu Simbel for $85 each way, which we accepted. We were even sent a photograph of the car. However, the vehicle that arrived was dirty and certainly not the car in the photograph.
During the journey the driver attempted to avoid a police checkpoint by leaving the main road and driving along an unmarked desert track. The police saw this and we were detained for well over an hour at their checkpoint. Apparently, neither the car nor the driver was licensed to carry fare-paying passengers. The police, who were very helpful, eventually arranged a legitimate taxi (fare $50 each way!) for us to continue the journey.
While at the checkpoint, we contacted the guest house to explain what had happened and to say that we were unhappy with the situation. The initial response we received was the one word, “Why?”. We heard nothing more from them for over three hours.
Given the serious safety concerns raised by this incident, we decided not to stay at the property and instead booked alternative accommodation at The New Abu Simbel Hotel, which proved to be an excellent and super friendly hotel (see my five star review of that hotel).
The Amon Guest House has argued that it was not their fault and that they were only trying to help. However, it was their fault - they chose the car and driver, they quoted the fare and we would have paid the fare to them. We have yet to receive either an apology or a refund for the unused hotel room.

Quiet and well located

This bed and breakfast is very well located because five minutes from the airport and five minutes from the temple. Our host was very efficient and brought us to the different sites: Restaurant, airport, temple.
quiet location, and by the water, everything was very good.
Thank you.
We highly recommend.

Best stay in all of Egypt

Abdel, his wife and family were so welcoming, we didn’t want to leave. The a/c cooled off the space in no time at all and the rooms were clean and welcoming. The walls had murals of different scenes in Egypt all painted by Abdul himself. Abdel helped us arrange a sunrise boat ride to the temples and acted as our personal driver the entire time. Our breakfast was a mixture of fresh vegetables, breads, cheese, eggs and yogurt with local honey. The coffee/tea was made with bottled water and we were provided with massive bottles of water for our personal use.
Our host even made arrangements for an Egyptologist/archeologist friend to come speak to us in the evening. It was fasinating.
During our stay in Egypt, this was by far our favorite stop and our only regret is that we didn’t plan to stay longer.
The five star hotels should take a lesson from these people.

Superb view and very nice accommodation

Superb lakefront accommodation with terrace and close to the monuments of Abu Simbel and very well placed for visits. The welcome is very friendly with the family of the owner who lives in the apartment above. Thank you for the welcome and accommodation
