Reviews of The Mango Guest House

It was wonderful would live to visit again.

The staff and location

Very good location on elephantine island, close to the ferry Nice place and nice garden Free hot drinks Possibility to have breakfast Nice staff, accommodating Good WiFi

Would be better to clearly indicate the price of the tours to avoid misunderstandings (sunset felouque, Nubian village…)

The Mango Guest House and Elephantine Island were a really remarkable experience during our trip to Egypt. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, and we felt very comfortable in the house. It was incredibly clean and very charming, with a nice rooftop and a lovely garden. The people from the island were very nice and welcoming to us, giving our visit a charming and pleasant vibe as we walked around the streets. The hosts cooked a very nice breakfast for us. I truly recommend this authentic experience.

Absolutely everything was great. The staff is super nice and very helpful. My room was clean, comfortable, spacious, just perfect. Everything fantastic.

The Mango Guest House is a very clean and comfortable place on the marvelous Elephantine island. Unbeatable value for money.

room is clean, the air conditioner is good

What a gem of a hotel. I was looking for a location away from the city and something unique and The Mango Guest House delivered. Great location a short ferry ride from the corniche. Excellent restaurant options on the island and a breakfast box for my journey to Abu Simbel. Google maps shows the ferry farther down the corniche when in reality it is at KFC and connects to the dock by King Jamaica so the walk is 5 minutes and more direct than shown plus the hotel has signs pointing the way. If you have luggage the staff will meet you at the dock and assist. Lovely garden and kitchen amenities such as tea, coffee and hibiscus as well as a fridge with sodas and juice for a nominal fee.

Not that I didn't like. However, Room 1 where I stayed is on the ground floor by reception and the kitchen. For light sleepers this may be a problem, I was ok with it.

They provide transportation from the flight to the hotel, and help you with carrying the bags from the ferry. The room is clean, one of a kind compared to the other hotels on the island. We felt very safe and connected with the locals, as you can see the Nubians doing their daily chores in a short walk around the area. There are good restaurants within a 5 minute walk.

Everything was good

The mango guest house is really a little oasis on Elephantine Island. Mohammed was amazing to us and he allowed us to meet Ahmed who took us on his feluka. That was the highlight of this travel to Egypt. The hotel itself is calm, super clean, with a comfortable room. You have to take a boat to join the hotel but it passes often and only costs 10EGP per person.

We really loved our stay at Mango. Aswan was the last stop in our trip in Egypt and was the perfect calm ending we needed after Cairo and Luxor. All the staff at Mango were exceptionally kind and helpful to us, and made us a delicious breakfast each morning (extra $$ but worth it). Our room was comfortable and clean. The location on Elephantine Island was perfect. And the aircon worked well!!!! We would love to return to Mango when we visit Egypt again one day.

Coziness and location. The guest house is located on the Elephantine Island, a little paradise without cars or motos. Nice restaurants nearby and really nice breakfast with fresh ingredients.

Great value for money in low season! Super welcoming staff, although it was extra, the breakfast was amazing. Having it in the pollinator garden out the front was a treat each morning.

Nothing.

The room is tidy, the bathroom is good. Ac is very cool. Perfect

WiFi sometimes can’t be searched, but after half a hour I connect.

The hotel was beautiful, with great facilities and a lovely room located on a peaceful island. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. We also arranged with them visits to Philae Temple, Abu Simbel, and our airport transfer. Everything went smoothly and according to plan. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

I don't know if they were just careless or like all the people involved in tourism in Egypt, they were trying to charge us again for things we had already paid for.

Room, breakfast, patio

Should have stayed longer

Well run Guesthouse with excellent accommodations at a reasonable price. Lovely garden and good breakfast. Being on the island can prove cumbersome although the 10 EP ferry is easy enough. Overall a charming place.

Except for breakfast there is no food or snacks and the rooftop is begging for some alcoholic drinks. Pillows could stand improvement as they are rock hard but these are minor observations. Also it must be noted that streets, safe and accessible, are strewn with litter. Apparently garbage pickup is not a thing which distracts from the charm.

Beautiful guest house and wonderful staff. Big and comfy rooms. The gardens are also lovely and felt like a lovely oasis. Breakfast was perfect and their friendly old dog is so sweet. Would definitely stay here again.

Our door lock was a tiny bit difficult but nothing major.
