Villa Rebecca

Beautiful location delicious restaurant downstairs. The host went above and beyond to support us. We hired a bike which they recommended and took us to which we use to get around everywhere. The room is really comfortable

If you are in Luxor you have to stay on the calm and authentic West bank with so many hidden gems and people. Family that was hosting us (Ahmed, Mahmoud and Hossam) are so warm people that will go beyond, just to make you have the best experience. Don't worry about staying a bit away from the ferry port as one of them will always come pick you up or take you there. Breakfast on the rooftop is just breathtaking. Below they run a beautiful restaurant Baladi Garden you have to try where they also grow their own vegetables. Pro tip: Rent yourself bikes for a couple of hours from El-Nile rent-a-bike from Abdul and just explore the village. If you get offered a tea by Abdul (or anybody else from the village), do accept it as that might be a unique experience you will never forget.

Absolutely nothing. Hopefully, I will be able to visit again.

Easily our favourite stay in Egypt! My partner and I absolutely loved it here. They genuinely welcomed and treated us like family whilst we were there; both the service and the room were exceptional. Ali and his family are amazing, and we can’t thank them enough. Whilst it initially felt a little off the beaten track (taxis/ubers found it difficult to get to), the location is actually perfect, as it sits so close to many ancient sites around Luxor. It also feels far more rustic and homely, compared to a touristy hotel on the east bank. The views of the Nile and the mountain (by the valley of the kings) were stunning. There is a restaurant attached to the property, and we were lucky enough to have Ali driving us around to as many of the sites around Luxor as possible, which was incredible. We managed to be the very first there at the temple of Hatshepsut (photo below)!

Our room was very spacious and fairly comfortable. It included a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of seating area. Breakfast was very nice, and we appreciated that the menu changed a bit every day. The location is down a dirt road on the west bank of the river, surrounded by banana plantations. That means it is a bit out of the way, but people looking for a spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city will appreciate it. Staff here can arrange tours to the main sites, but they are all a bit overpriced.

The room was basically clean... but don't look too closely at surfaces like the insides of cupboards or the tops of light switches. The bathroom is really rough and needs to be overhauled in the near future. The adjoining restaurant sometimes plays loud music well into the night to an audience of basically no one.
