    When I arrived i was greeted by a woman who didn’t speak any English and she got a young boy, no older than 12 to deal with me, he told there was a problem with my room, so I was put into a spare room on the top floor, outside the room was a building site with people in and out all day working. The room was disgusting, I was considering leaving but I was told my room would be ready the next day, it was not. I also didn’t have a private bathroom for those two days, I had to use a bathroom the builders were also using and it was filthy. I ended up staying in this room for two nights, luckily I had things planned so I only slept there. Breakfast was not nice, a small tray of different breads. There is no reception so you have to knock on doors that the hosts live in and hope that they are in. On two occasions, two very young children opened the door with no adult there and spoke no English, so I couldn’t speak to anyone about my issues. Also, the shower was not very efficient, only a small amount of water coming out of the head.

    Very close to the Pyramids of Giza, great view of the pyramids, good wifi, pleasant room, satellite tv and comfy bed. If I didn’t have to stay in the horrible room on the top floor, I would have given this homestay a 8/10

    Difficulty in finding the place . Our UBER missed pick up EVERY time. Very noisy street also. Recommendation= Roof top space has SO much potential.

    Host and Staff was very friendly and very helpful. Close to KFC and lovely bakery down the street.

    We have difficulty to find the local, we call many times and nobody answer. But when we find the hosts we're very friendly.

    Location is perfect to go pyramids. Room is simple but is good.

    No door in the toilets only a curtain. clearly unpleasant if you care about privacy.

    The location, value for money. easy access to the pyramids and also can watch it from the terrace. plenty of shops around. KFC is at walkable distance which itself is the best part if you dont like bargaining for the price of food.

    At this time of the year there is a big of a chill in the air and it would have been good if the air conditioning worked in the room. I never asked the host about it but I tried every possible combination to see if I could get it to work and I could not I have these in my own home. I slept OK only when the barking dogs outside went to sleep. There was too much noise for me in this location and I did not sleep at all well. The dogs, which there are many in the square are a pest. This is a working neighbourhood for the camels and horses and so you have to be careful where you step when you are out and about. The Homestay itself is OK, however because of the location I would have to find a quieter place to stay if I return to Cairo.

    The location was great being so close to the Pyramids where from the rooftop you could watch the light show or just marvel at these ancient structures. I enjoyed sitting on the rooftop as it headed to sunset and watching the colours change on the Pyramids. Being in Giza also makes it better than being stuck in busy Cairo and it's only a thirty minute Uber ride to Tahrir Square if the traffic its kind. Plenty of places nearby to eat and good coffee and the Mango Cafe near the ticket office. Good hot shower in the morn after a simple breakfast of breads.

    I wouldn't expect it to be any better but in terms of the quality of the rooms this is a budget option. If you want luxury this isn't it, but it is a great price and we were very happy here.

    Staff were helpful, location was great, very close to the secondary entrance to the periods (which is the best entrance to use), and there was a great view of the pyramids from the roof.

    Internet connection doesn't work very well. Breakfast could be more carefully prepared and the terrace has a lot of potencial but it's a bit abandoned. The neighborhood is too noisy all night long. Difficult to sleep.

    Hady is a very kind and helpful host. The room is comfortable and has space enough to accommodate 1 or 2 people. Very close to the pyramids you get the place in 2 minutes. From the terrace you can also see them.

    It is not that I don't like it if we take price into consideration but the room looked like it wasn't properly finished with painting, lighting and so on.

    It was quite cheap comparing to other options. The owners were helpful but I had a feeling that whatever I asked can cost me extra money, but maybe it is a climate of Egyptian hotels that you are not sure when and for what you are charged extra.

    1. Rooms with no hot water, leaking bathrooms and unusable toilet. 2. Terrible mattress and little/poor heating. 3. Expensive pyramid tour (70 USD per person + extra tips). 4. Expensive papyrus (1000 LE which can be purchase at least 10 times less in Cairo) 5. Poor English skill

    Host was kind to take us around the neighborhood.

    The location was very nice. It was our best location in Egypt. The room was small, but big enough and the terrace was very nice with the view on the pyramids. The entrance to the Pyramids it's like 500 meters away. The host is very nice and all the family. They helped us a lot and we enjoied the stay a a lot.
