N/A

Our recent trip to Aswan was already exciting, but staying at Salatoo Guesthouse truly made it special. Originally, I wasn't sure whether to choose a five-star hotel or a Nile cruise, but as someone with Egyptian roots, I wanted my wife and kids to experience the authentic culture and meet the locals. That's exactly what we found at Salatoo. The location on the West Bank of the Nile is simply perfect - peaceful, scenic, and just a short crossing to the city center. The guesthouse is impeccably clean and situated just outside a charming local village, which was ideal for evening walks and immersing ourselves in everyday Nubian life. The highlight was definitely the warm hospitality and home-cooked Nubian cuisine prepared by the wonderful Madam Amira. Honestly, the food was some of the best we've ever had, rivaling the finest restaurants in Europe. The staff, including Belal, Sadat, Captain LoLo (the captain of the felucca), and Gilberto, made us feel like family — their friendliness and genuine care made our stay truly memorable. By the end of our four days, we felt like we had made lifelong friends. We left with a deep appreciation for Nubian culture and a desire to return next year — this time feeling more like coming home than just visiting. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, warm, and unforgettable Nubian experience. Thank you, Salatoo Guesthouse, for an incredible adventure!

Nothing

Salatoo and everybody there were so welcoming and taking care of us, they are amazing people. The place is really beautiful and clean and everything is done for you to feel well and relaxed. We've been two weeks in Egypt and this one night/two days there were really the hilight of our holidays. Just get away from the stress and the noise and go there to have a good time :)

Be prepare that it is cold during winter night in Egypt :)

Salatoo is great host. You feel like at home in his property. It has great vibe. I totally recommend it for stay around Aswan.

Great vibes, very good place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring aswan. There is a public crossing to go to the city that costs 5 pounds and is only a 20-25 pound tok tok ride away. Staff was very friendly. YOU NEED TO TRY THEIR MANGO JUICE

The mosquito net of the bungalow may need to be better fixed. Don't expect luxurious beds or facilities, just the pair basic stuff that you need to have a good shower and sleep.

If you are looking for a farm stay or eco friendly place or if you are an animal lover, then this is definitely your right place to go! Very helpful and friendly family and crew, hosts you in a river front farm, where you have couple of setting areas around fire or under mango trees, and even Infront of the river directly... Walking on the river bank between birds , cows and donkeys was a different experience. Hints: - you need to cross to the west side of the river with a local ferry service, cheap but "very local", then you need to take a toktok from the ferry dock to the facility (No taxi or Uber at this area. But! You still can arrange your direct privet transportation by boat from the city to the facility by contacting them ahead. - There are not many options for restaurants at this area, but you still can book your local dishes at the facility or take your meal at the city. Thanks Belal for the coordinations, Amira for the great food (specially the Taamia), Mango and keshra for being friendly and playful dogs 😀

Above all, it was Salatoo and his crew who made our stay unforgettable. You feel like part of a family, we ate together and went on excursions :) But you can also retreat and relax in the garden or by the Nile. The food was incredibly delicious, you can sleep in cozy and clean huts, tents or bungalows. The crossing to the city or wherever you wanted to go by boat was easy and cheap. Really highly recommended!

That we didn't stay longer :( Really, we had a great time

If you need a place to calm down and relax, this is the place to go. At Salatoo's you will find friendliness, hospitality and a kind of calm you will not find in the cities. Everyone is so generous and friendly, always happy to help! The camp itself is super rural and open (literally), which gives it its unique charm and Salatoo's beautiful garden is really impressive to see. Our room was very clean and modern, with a nicely working AC and a private bathroom. We had everything we needed and then a bit more :). (Also: their self-made tea tastes so good)

i could have stayed longer!

Amazingly welcoming people, brilliant location right on the Nile. Simple but lovely facilities. A brilliant sense of calm and peace just to be there.

Everything was great, super nice staff, delicious breakfasts, localization far from the noise of the city but close to ferry so it's easy to go to the city center.

I had an amazing time. They have the friendliest staff that make you feel like instant family. The food was incredible and they will literally help you plan whatever you want to do. They genuinely want everyone to have a great time. A cross between a camp and a farm with the Nile as your backdrop, this is how to really feel like a local in Aswan. I go back whenever I can.

I felt at home with family.. the room was comfy and clean with cold & hot A.C. The food was amazing, the vibes were exceptionally perfect, and of course, the staff were helpful and friendly. They helped me to find a car and to organise my time between my work and the amazing activities in the camp and in Aswan generally, as it was my first business trip to Aswan. thanks, Youssef, Salatoo, Abdo, and the whole staff.. This certainly won't be my last visit..

A bit unprofessional, sometimes difficult communication. The phone number doesn't work.

Amazing mango trees. Super chilled place. The cows are cute.

Stayed in April 2025

Not professional. Not safety and security. I lost my money. I left the please within minutes and booked other property. Attitudes of the owner was very rude.
