Reviews of Eskaleh Eco-Lodge

Wonderful location, wonderful staff and wonderful food - the staff at the lodge could not have been more friendly nor more helpful

Abu Simbel and being on the lake is amazing. The rooms mades of dawb are very nice. The kitchen helped our vegetarian. The sound of the birds is really nice.

I wasn't happy that when I asked for tickets to go see the show, he wanted to Make us pay full price when we had two people that paid discounted rates. And pretended he did not know. The breakfast was all convenience food and an omelet. Instead of it being more traditional or like home cooked food. Food was simply not worth it, not the ''included'' breakfast.

The owner and all the staff are kind like family. Even if you don't have a set plan, they will help you. There were no problems with the facilities.

As reservations are confirmed early, it may be difficult to be flexible.

Located right next to the lake. Easy to find.

1. Food and drinks were terrible. 2x the price and 50% portion. Beer and wine were really bad 2. Cockroach and mosquitos in room

We like the lodge as it resembles the nubian house. The experience of being part of the locals living in the barren, dusty, sunny but cold environment. The lodge is comfortable with minimum but clean facilities. Mostly, I like the staffs, very friendly and polite.

One thing that i am not happy is there was no wifi coverage at our room. Most likely is because our room was furthest from the reception. The lodge should install a wifi router for better coverage to all rooms.

Nubian charm, courteous staff, room was sufficiently large, and delicious dinner.

Interesting building, good room, very nice staff.

Nothing

The new rooms are very neat and tidy, have good bathrooms and a view of the lake from the front terrace. We were in the last room (room 5 or 6) which was very quiet and room was clean and bed was comfortable. We had dinner which was good but was expecting something special from all the reviews. They very were helpful in organising a car to take us to the aswan airport for 80 USD. Good price. The communication via email before we arrived was really good. Friendly staff.

Breakfast was average. All edible but bread was average and so was everything else. I asked for eggs cooked with oil (can't handle butter) but they were drenched in butter. The Eco lodge is growing... bus tour having lunch there when we arrived.

Well situated lovely hotel within walking distance of the Temple

Nothing we didn't like

Our room was clean and traditionally designed, the staff was very friendly and the location was beautiful, right next to the lake. The hotel arranged our boat ride in the lake to catch sunrise at Abu Simbel temple and it was absolutely worth it.

Everything was great. My only suggestion for improvement is to add a few freshly prepared items in the breakfast.

Peaceful location and very clean and charming.

The sheets and pillows are washed in lightly scented laundry soap, which some travelers may be sensitive to (such as breathing trouble for my family).

The room was gorgeous, we spent a little more than we usually do to rest, take a nice shower etc. It was quiet and the views were also beautiful.

No

One the best accommodation we have stayed Egypt, absolutely amazing hospitality, 1000/100, you can’t imagine how passionate and helpful the staffs are, they probably are the best people we met in Egypt. Food is amazing, the breakfast is super fancy but very delicious. They sell tickets for the light show at the exact same price with the Abu Simbel Temple ticket office, and they can help arrange drivers to drive to drive guest from hotel to the temple and literally wait for them there after they finish and come out, with only 500 EGP! They driver is the single best driver we ever had in our 12 days Egypt trip, no joke, he is fluent in English and is very helpful, taking us to amazing local restaurants and explaining everything we saw on the way. I got scammed by the local hospital, where I had a rabies vaccine (another sad story) for 180 USD which is absurd, and on the receipt it says I had intensive care which is completely untrue and the hotel owner really helped me, by telling us what does the Arabic on the receipt says, and suggest us how to seek for support, such as visiting the tourism police, and we end up getting half of the money back. When we left, we even got an offer from the hotel where we had a private mini bus that takes us to Aswan for only 40 USD which is amazing price, even costing less than even a sedan on inDrive

Nothing really, the facilities are obviously not on par against hotels in Cairo or Luxor, but when compared to other hotels in Abu Simbel, it is definitely top notch, and the Nubian vibe is very interesting and unique

The lodge is located by the bank of Nile River and offers clean and nice facilities and close to airport and Abu Simbel temple. Serag el din , the front office manager was super nice and kind and we were enjoying his company for a sunset water tour. He even prepared free water and snacks for our trip back to Aswan. Thank you, Serag. I’ll come back to visit someday with my family.

Food has a plenty room to improve.

This hotel is an absolute gem in Abu Simbel. The staff is incredible, and the food is excellent. They went above and beyond to accommodate my wife and me, arranging a taxi for our visits to the temples. Additionally, when I requested a transfer to Luxor, a six-hour drive, they didn’t just provide a driver; a member of their staff accompanied us to ensure everything went smoothly during the long trip. I was truly speechless at their kindness. I hope Bkar arrived home safe and sound, as they mentioned they would be driving back another six hours on the same day. What wonderful people they are!

This was the best hotel experience I had in Egypt. I was really worth spending a night in Abu Simbel! The lodge is beautiful and located on the banks of the Nile. The staff was very helpful and served us excellent food. It was also easy to communicate with them before our stay to arrange transport etc.

food was great ! everyone was very welcoming

a little too rustic

Beautiful terrasse and very cozy room. The staff was super friendly and the food was good!

The lodge is typically decorated in the Nubian style; this is a very lovely place with beautiful nature surrounding. The staff is very warm and welcoming. You need a ride to get to the temples; otherwise it is a good 30 mins walk.

The wifi didn’t work in the bedroom. Prices for food are in the high range compared to the rest of the country.

The place is really special and we have a wonderful time at here!

Not enough hot water for shower.

Charming
