Located in a village a few minutes walk from the main area but I liked this relaxed atmosphere where no one was hassling me and I felt safe as a female solo traveller

Clean, comfortable, the owner Nia is really friendly and helpful. Focus on sustainability - able to refill my water bottle! Helped with organising tours for fain amounts. Bathrooms were clean. Only been opened for a few months. Definitely happy I booked and would recommend!

Its a more local neighbourhood, not heavily visited by tourists.

Estefania, the owner of Bonita, was amazing and super friendly. We really appreciated her warm hospitality and had a great time there. The room was new and spotlessly clean, and the location was very convenient. She also helped us organize daily tours and recommended professionals who truly knew their job.

Bonita Chillhouse is a super cozy spot tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. You get a lovely view of the Nile, and it’s just a five-minute walk to a large supermarket. The ferry to visit the islands is also within walking distance. The owner is incredibly helpful and will go out of their way to make your stay smooth and enjoyable. The place is always clean and well maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen and solid internet. It's still new, but you can feel the love and care that's gone into creating it. Overall, a really nice and relaxing experience — definitely recommend!

The building looks a little rough from the outside and js a little hard to find but the inside is lovely.

The host is so lovely and helpful and the place feels very comfy and safe. I stayed in the private room, which is very nice and spacious and has a great shower. A lot of love and attention to detail went into it! And it‘s so quiet at night!

It was super nice and clean. Loved the location. It can be a little stuffy and hot in the room but the owner addressed issues promptly so I’m happy with my stay there.

We wanted a place close to the center but not on one of the islands, as the ferry/shuttle situation can get tricky depending on the time of day. That’s how we found this accommodation, and it was perfect! Even from the booking photos, I was drawn to its cute and thoughtful design—and I can confirm it looks just as lovely in real life. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had such a welcoming vibe. The location is fantastic, nestled in a Nubian village with friendly neighbors where we always felt safe. It’s an easy walk to the public ferry for Elephantine Island, just five minutes from Carrefour, and super convenient for catching a public minibus (only 5 EGP!), tuk-tuk, or taxi. Best of all, it’s right next to the Nile—just a few steps away—where you can take a refreshing dip on hot days or enjoy stunning sunsets with feluccas sailing by. The real highlight, though, was the owner, Nia. She was incredibly helpful, always available to answer our many questions—how to get around, which ferry or bus to take, where to find the nearest shop, and even how to travel to other cities. Honestly, we would have been completely lost without her guidance in this lively, fast-paced city! She also helped us book a tour to Abu Simbel at a great price and made everything so easy. I highly recommend this stay!

There aren't enough superlatives to describe Nia as a host. She went out of her way to not only accommodate me, but share her time, recomendations, and even food along with facilitating scam-free tours for fair prices which is absolutely invaluable in Egypt. The hostel is also located in a quaint, traditional Nubian village which isn't touristic and is devoid of the hassle present along Aswan's main drag. Not only would I stay here again, but I'd recommend it to anyone coming to Aswan, particularly if they're travelling solo and value accomodation which is affordable, homely, and authentic.

Really great modern hostel accommodation, very thoughtfully set up with cozy common room, soft lighting and outlets by every bed. Thoroughly clean and well located near Carrefour and restaurants. The owner was extremely helpful, communicative and diligent in arranging things on my behalf. Great vibes, thank you Nia!

The building is pinpointed well on Booking but it was not listed on Google Maps and had no clear sign outside. Putting a one near the entrance (facing the square with the mosques, white stairs on the right) would make finding it easier.

Location: Quiet local neighborhood with kids playing on the street around sunset. The house overlooks the Nile. The square in front, flanked by two mosques, has direct access to the river with a small beach for swimming and boat pickups / dropoffs. The main riverside promenade is within 10 minutes walk. There is a proper Carrefour supermarket and ATMs (in the lobby of the Old Cataract hotel next door) on the way. To me, the area felt much nicer and more authentic than Elephantine island. House: Just renovated, the cleanest I've seen in Egypt (especially the kitchen and bathroom). I stayed in a double, which had the necessary amenities. The rooftop is available with pretty sunset views (see attached pic) and a nice chill area, best enjoyed with a tea. Host: Really helpful, English and Spanish speaking, very responsive, with lots of practical travel experience and great recommendations, especially about navigating the local particularities on a budget.

I liked how the apartment is designed, it seems like someone really thought about how to paint the walls and I liked it a lot. I also liked the owner. She is super nice and we had some deep conversations about life :)

There was no sign board on the building so it's a bit difficult to find it but she said she would get one soon.

The owner is truly approachable and kind even though she manages the hostel by herself. The hostel was brand new and the room was so clean. There was also laundry service with reasonable price.

Everything about this place was top-notch! Exceptional staff, the hostel owner, was very helpful and went out of her way to help me many times during my stay! The cleanliness is unmatched, honestly. Bed sheets are clean, the kitchen is clean, and the bathroom was as clean as you'd excpet it at your home! The hostel owner even helped me book a once in a lifetime trip to Abu-Simbel temple. I will definitely stay in this hostel every time I visit Aswan!

Is a wonderful new hostel that is in the heart of Aswan and with wonderful views and a beach in the gorgeous Nile river. The stuff is amazing and they offer a wonderful clean bed with everything needed. The hosts has been living for a while in the country and she really knows about recommendations. She even organised some amazing tours for us.

My experience at the Bonita Chillhouse Aswan was great. It's one of those places that makes you feel good from the very first moment. The staff was amazing: always with a smile and willing to help you with anything you need, you can tell they care about making you feel at home! The hotel is in a quiet area. The room was very clean and comfortable. It is a great place to relax and enjoy Aswan without the hassle. If you are looking for a place with a good atmosphere, good location and friendly service, this is the place for you. I would definitely come back!

It’s in a local village next to the well known hotel in Aswan. The room is very clean, I have to say, the owner is a super clean and nice and helpful girl, I feel comfortable staying in the room. The location is good as well, few mins walking to the dock and supermarket. We enjoyed the 3 nights stay at Bonita Chillhouse.
