Fantastic location. It is possible to reach most temples (even Hatschepsut) by hiking. The hotel serves natural food from its garden, home-made goat cheese and eggs from a small chicken farm. Even though the price for lunch/dinner is a bit high, it's absolutely worth it. Room amenities are basic, countryside-style but clean, mattress was perfect. Every morning the hot air balloons fly over the property which is spectacular. It is difficult to get to the ferry or to go shopping in the village because locals constantly try to overcharge you. Remember the minibus to the ferry is 2 pounds, a motorbike is 5 pounds, and a car may take you for 10 pounds, but drivers will demand 100 or 50 pounds first and foreigners never get anything without the hassle of negotiating and arguing and involuntary tipping (It’s a Luxor problem in general). That said, the hotel is great and absolutely recommended as starting point for an exploration of the historic sites nearby.
