Yes this hotel is quaint and unusual however it's not comfortable by any means. No heat or air - only portable small unit brought in to sit between your beds. All stone / cement in interior with lots of dust. Bathroom was a bit scary like camping. You are basically staying in a stone hut with electricity and basic plumbing.... More

Stayed for one night in January. Nice setting, lots of character....so much better than a chain hotel. We found the staff friendly, the food was pretty good. We enjoyed the hot springs - they turned on the water for us, so we had it to ourselves. We did a desert tour that we booked separately - left at the hotel... More

The Hotel is in good setting. Nice and calm area within the Oasis. Good rooms. Cleanliness is not perfect. The place is very relaxing and made for people that look for a quiet and cool place. It is of big advantage if you spoke Arabic; staff is poor in English. Due to the very low touristic numbers everything is scaled... More

The price was higher than expected and at first i was skeptical, but in the end i was very satisfied. The hotel is located very nicely, in front of the date grove and just under a nice and easily climbable hill. It has good food, a nice hot tub, a swimming pool and is built in a pitoresque way.

I'll start this review with a comment about a tour rather than the hotel itself since the tour cost more than my two nights accommodation. When I arrived at the hotel, I told them that I was planning to do a tour of the White and Black deserts the next day. I had already talked to a couple of different... More

Dear Sir; Thank you for your kind review, however i would like to point out several points: 1- when you first send us an inquiry about Bahareya oasis, and you mentioned that you were going to travel by bus we advised against using public transportation to Bahareya oasis, and offered you to try one of our packages including guided visits,...

Stayed in “Qasr El Bawity” for two nights during the “Eid El Fitr” holidays. Never been to this part of Egypt before, so we really didn’t know what to expect. Below is my feedback: The drive from Cairo: 350Km south west of Cairo (approx 4 hours drive). The road has no service facilities whatsoever, so, make sure you fill up... More

The rooms are very tradional and are clean and comfortable. Staff are super and do their very best to make sure you have a lovely time... More
