    Location was absolutely stunning. Food was incredible and service was great. They have a small beach area to access the water by stairs. On a hot day plunging into the Nile was exactly what we needed. Plus I get to check off a childhood dream. Also can’t beat the views, Sunset and Philae Temple

    Nothing.

    Everything was great from the beginning. Mr. Mohamed the Manager is very helpful and responsive via WhatsApp. During our stay there are not many guests coming, and he arranged all of us to stay in the special rooms with air conditioning. The staff were sooo nice and hospitable. The food was sooo great, the view from the room and restaurant was exceptional. There is a little beach that we can swim from to help with the 45 degrees heat. Even the dogs of the island were friendly and cuddly. I cannot recommend this enough!!

    The dogs on the island are very friendly, though they had not met us until night time and weren't happy at first. I'm not sure if WiFi is available in the rooms. Because it's an eco place, there is no air conditioning. The price to go to Philae island (very nearby) is a little high at 250 EGP but not bad. The transfer to the mainland is also 150 EGP each way

    It's a private island with not many rooms and beautiful views of the Nile. The mud hut style feels nice. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is quite tasty. The dinner at the restaurant was a great introduction to Nubian food. The garden is nice to see.

    A bit far from Assouan city. Requires a bit of organisation to go in town.

    Very calm hotel in a superb spot just in front of Philae temple. Perfect to disconnect. Food is great and people working at Eco Nubia are super nice :)

    Some wild dogs over there barking and not friendly.

    As all nubio hotels, is a very diferent experience. The hotel has a beautiful rustic style and very comfortable. The rooms have everything you need. There is internet in restaurant area. The staff is very friendly and profesional. The rooms are on the top of the island so is hard to go up if you are not jonge. They have some gardens where they grow some vegetables and in the back also there is a nubian cemetery around big, big stones. The landscape is magic and the view of Philae temple is the best.

    It was very hot in the room! In the summer fans are not enough

    We had such a wonderful experience at this place! The rooms are so beautiful! You open the window and look at the Nile river Staff are very friendly and welcoming And the food at the restaurant is amazing! We had breakfast and dinner over there and they were the best meals we had so far in Egypt 😍

    Nothing…it was the perfect Aswan accommodation.

    Authentic experience amidst the waters of the Nile. An honest back to basics accommodation that takes you back to simpler times. A romantic place to be, with the Temple of Philae as a backdrop is just jaw dropping. At night, the quiet and tranquility envelopes you and the gentle sound of the Nile will lull you into sleep. Sunrise and sunset were amazing and the breakfast, one of the best we had so far and ranks very high and we’ve been to The Cataract, Al Moudira and the Winter Palace. The best were the Nubians Egyptians, so gentle and warm. And no bakshish were asked from any of them. We were just left to enjoy this resort on our own. It might have been short, but it’ll always be one of the highest bar for us to compare our experiences elsewhere. A true gem of a place. Can’t stop thinking about it!

    Not suitable for people with mobility problems or small children: No handrails anywhere, very uneven stairs in- and outside and insecure balconies.

    The location of Eco Nubia is unbeatable - nature, silence, the view to the temple and a wonderful style.

    Not all rooms are nice. First, we had a bad room. But then Moustafa changed the room after complaining. So I would recommend to book a specific room (like room 15, 16).

    Moustafa who runs Eco Nubia is very motivated and cared very much about our demands The view to the Nile and Philae is just amazing
