Love the room, design and everything. Except the shower in not that great, the water pressure is too low and the water came out in a dripping way. Also, the food at the restaurant can be improved, especially the fried items, like fries.

Amazing hotel”
Breathtaking location with a little bit of effort to get there, as it is on an secluded island you will need to take a private boat to the hotel.

great location for quietness”
Close to Philae Temple, the panoramic view of this quiet hotel is phenomenal. The hotel tale and personal are great. The only thing is that you need to take a boat for everything you want to do in Aswan so it requires a boit more planning than if you were in a city hotel

Isolated area”
Hotel boat is not convenient . Beautiful place but not safe for young children or older people.Hotel room to the restaurant has steep up and down. Boat dock is not attractive.

Beautiful Hotel”
The hotel was beautiful. The scenery around it was amazing. One can see the Philae temple from the Hotel. The location on the island is lovely too, except that it does get a bit of a hassle to take the boat ride. I personally enjoyed the boat ride to the hotel also but may not be as comfortable for very old people. I went with my older parents. My dad enjoyed it while my mom found it a little tiresome (so it is really subjective). However, once we arrived at the hotel, they had golf carts to take us up to the rooms, and our luggage was also helped with. The boats are available 24/7. We had an early morning flight to Abu Simbel and we took the boat ride at 4:30 am it was all arranged very well. We also received breakfast packages early morning and we could even keep our luggage at the hotel post check out. They sent our luggage to the dock in the evening. The restaurant at the hotel is good too. The rooms were lovely, clean, and well-accessorized. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a great experience and totally recommend it.

Felt unsafe on the boat ”
My boat was 30min late for pickup despite being reserved in advance. Hotel staff who handled coordination got angry with the boat captain and they both started to yell at each other, initially face to face and then even when the captain was driving the boat (staff was on the phone). The Captain was so angry and his other hand removed from the motor handle and started doing gestures while yelling his throat out (the boat went on and off the course). The call lasted for about 10min throughout the boat ride. I was so scared that he would go on strike and stop driving me, or just throw my luggage into the river, something dramatic. Overall I think the hotel has the vision and intentions to become the first boutique hotel in the country (design is really beautiful), but the staff and management will need more training and experience in managing the operations to make it happen. Till then, I will not return.

This a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting and after a week of strenuous sightseeing down the Nile this was the perfect relaxation venue. However, it is a remote location and getting into town was a a three step process which seemed to be more difficult to organise than it should have been

Absolutely Amazing !!!!”
From the first impression to the last, this resort has delivered. It’s beautiful and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. Their hospitality always brought smiles on our face with how wonderfully kind everyone who works in the hotel is. They made sure we were comfortable and were very respectful. I highly recommend this resort if you prefer somewhere quiet, relaxing and peaceful with the kindest people around you. Loved it !

Magical place”
Originally we booked at Benben given that Old Catarac Sofitel was full, but we are happy we had to!! The hotel has stunning architecture and decor (every angle and detail seems like coming from an interior design magazine), and although it is a little complicated to get in and out, the boat trip to and from the dock adds a wow effect (plus getting amazing Philae temple views on the way!) Each room is set up as a villa with high ceilings, very spacious terrace with private small pool. The restaurant has also a great atmosphere and the food is pretty good. A live group was playing Nubian music one night, which was great as well. We had dinner at the Old Catarac hotel and although it is also a great property, we are glad we stayed at Benben instead as we felt it was more intimate and original. Overall highly recommended!

Noise”
There was spa construction inside the facility right in front of our room, too much noise and too many people around. It’s not convenient to do it while you are having guests. Besides rooms are really small, so it wasn’t a good experience but the view.

Overpriced but good quality in Aswan”
One of the best hotels in Aswan. The location is perfect. The city hotels is too noisy and that’s why this hotel is perfect choice. New, nice hotel, the food is average. Breakfast was good. AC is too loud and there is no little/small option, so its too windy. Unfortunately the price is REALLY high and you didnt get enough for your money. They are lucky because most of the hotels in Aswan is awful, so they can charge you any price…

Great way to relax, but at a price!”
Staff are amazing and the location is stunning. However once you are on the island you are kind of stuck. Only one restaurant to choose from with a very limited menu. No alcohol on the menu. Supposed to be adults only but I did see a child. Just stay one or 2 nights maximum or it becomes expensive as each time you ask for transport it is US$15 minimum per person to get a boat, more if you need a car at the other end. Also water is limited to one bottle per person per day. No shop on site and mini bar is over inflated and alcohol free ofcourse. Staff are really helpful, polite and speak excellent English. They are always willing to carry bags and take you up and down the steep hill by golf buggy. They learn your names and remember your previous orders eg iced coffee. Building is ongoing so you do hear construction noise but on a small scale. Maybe we will come back when it is finished!

Beautiful but have potential to be better. ”
The view, cleanliness and staff was impeccable. The issue is the access to the hotel is annoying, the unnamed dock to the hotel is located in a shady and undeveloped town, 20 min boat ride but doesn’t have a sign that’s for BenBen and then a high incline walk/motor cart up to the hotel and rooms. When you’re in, everything is perfect. I wish there’s more activities to do inside the hotel. They have 1 restaurant and a meditation place. They said there’s going to be a spa soon. If they add more activities in the hotel then people can enjoy the inside and not have to go through the hassle of coming in and out of the hotel. Maybe a gym, a large pool for everyone, shops to buy local food and souvenirs. I hope the spa is large and have a lot of massages, facial, etc. Lastly, the customer service was amazing. They arranged the boat at 4am since my flight was so early and gave a breakfast box to go.
