A once in a lifetime stay!
Had a beautiful stay at Ben Ben. I booked last minute when my previous reservation was cancelled unexpectedly, and I'm so glad I did. Everything - the location, the room, the food, the staff - was exceptional. I had been traveling for a few weeks and was getting over a cold when I arrived, and it was the perfect place to rest. Mr. Gomaa, in particular, was very kind, and a pleasure to speak with. Can't say enough good things!

Complete tourist trap
Complete tourist trap. In the middle of nowhere. Built on very very steep rock very steep slopes and stairs, not at all suitable for elderly people or people with mobility problems. No warnings at all published concerning the issue. The hotel is completely dead and very far away from everything. Surrounded by ruined houses so ugly views from everywhere. Very depressing.

Very disappointing
This hotel was a huge disappointment, especially for families with elderly people. Nowhere was it mentioned that the stairs are not suitable for old people at all. My mother was literally forced to climb unsafe stairs, which was extremely difficult and exhausting for her. When we complained and explained the situation, the staff’s response was shocking: “We can do nothing.” No alternative room, no assistance, no solution — and to make things worse, they refused to refund the money. This shows a complete lack of responsibility, empathy, and basic hospitality. Hiding such critical information and then refusing any form of compensation is simply unacceptable. I strongly do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with elderly guests or anyone who expects honesty and basic customer care.

A Heavenly Stay at Ben Ben Aswan
Perfect location — the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into heaven. The atmosphere is exceptional, and the rooms are spotless with a stunning view of the Philae Temple and the Nile. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food is excellent, and the spa experience was truly amazing.

Gracious personal service, Luxury, peaceful, magnificently appointed
I stayed only one glorious day and night at the world class BenBen resort and Spa on Hissa Island and would have lingered much longer had time allowed. From reservations (Thank you Dhara and Nardeen) and arrival, via a water shuttle, available 24:7 (call to reserve for your departure from the “Port”, ) through departure , attention was paid to every detail. A golf cart took us and our luggage up the rope lighted, arbored hill to reception where we were greeted before sunrise with fresh pomegranate juice and a cool moist cotton cloth to cool our brow and neck. We met friends already staying there and watched the sunrise over the Nile and and Phillae Temple. Al fresco breakfast, included with the room was fresh, delicious and served with a smile. Mustaffa, the food and beverage manager was always available to translate to English assuring our orders were correct. My suite was magnificent, with superior views of the Nile and the Infinity pool from every room, including the shower and spacious private patio yet with perfect privacy. The spacious high ceiling entry/sitting room with couch and beautiful rugs, art lighted nooks throughout, felt at once like a palace, and the coziness of home. An In-room jacuzzi makes a perfect setting for couples, although not hot during this season. The meditation area at the lookout with pillowed sitting bench and granite boulder pinnacle offered fantastic views and located on an earth energy grid directly connected to Phillae Temple. I highly recommend the locally specific massages beautifully given by delightful Zeinab,: a Nile mud massage and an Herbal “Stamp massage”— which was quite hot, yet ultimately relaxing for the spine and chakras. Every one of the staff was gracious, accommodating and cheerful, an obvious reflection of the manager, Mr. Fekry, whose desire to make your stay a memorable experience. Indeed it was.

Savouring our experience at Ben Ben
I would recommend these accommodations to anyone. The views are magnificent, the rooms were comfortable and welcoming and had special touches that were exquisite. The vision of the architect developed a property for a complete experience. The staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. However, the greatest asset at Ben Ben is the staff. Nirvanna, Gomaa, and many others made us feel like royalty. Something to be experienced by all.
