    The in-suite fridge broke a couple of times during our stay and we had to throw out some food.

    The pool and the garden were amazing, the room were super spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was big and delicious. Mr Ahmed, the property manager was very nice and accomodating.

    It is a bit far to walk to town, so I guess a couple of bikes could do the trick. I already shared this comment with Ahmed and it seems that future travelers will be able to enjoy that soon.

    Very charming Siwa desert experience! Room is large and comfortable and the pool is great after a hot day. Ahmed and the staff were great, and were constantly assisting us in making us feel happy.

    Nothing comes to mind!

    Location was away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown. Quiet and surrounded by date palm trees. Perfect place to connect with a desert oasis retreat. Our host, Ahmed, rolled out the red carpet for us. He gave us restaurant recommendations, area must see places and cared for our every need. Sofi’s warm hospitality and delicious breakfasts made us feel extra special. And don’t miss the rooftop sunsets and relaxing in the pool after a hot desert day.

    It is about a 10-minute drive to the city center. The person in charge can help arrange a taxi or tuktuk for transportation. There are only two units here, so the host can take good care of us. The breakfast is very generous. There is a hot spring pool with a water temperature of about 30°C, making it suitable for swimming in both winter and summer. The rooms are also kept very clean.

    I stayed here for two weeks, and everything was exceptional!!! The property is very beautiful, clean and carefully maintained, and includes an amazing date palm tree garden and a wonderful little swimming pool, which is a heaven in the summer heat! There are also amazing views of the sunrise, sunset, night sky and the surrounding palm tree grove. The staff, and especially the property manager Ahmed, are very welcoming and helpful with any request. The cooked breakfasts were excellent (catering to vegans too!), and the help from Ahmed to organize trips into the desert was fantastic and highly appreciated. He also has extensive knowledge about Siwa, which I was always happy to learn from. Many thanks as well to the booking manager Valérie for the great responsiveness and very helpful indications on arriving in Siwa. This place made me feel right at home, and I would definitely return. I could not recommend it highly enough!!

    This was an amazing place to stay! Siwa is a hard place to get to but the accommodations were worth the trip. Ahmed and his staff are exceptional at making you feel comfortable and looked after. They cook amazing meals. I was mainly looking for a pool and happy to have found one where the water was nice and cool. Everything is clean and well maintained. A great roof to watch sunrise and sunsets.

    It was a magical stay! The one bedroom cottage give you an authentic Siwa feel. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. There's also a small sit out area outside which was perfect. But the most special part was Mr Ahmed...what an amazing hospitable gentleman. He was there to welcome us at 6 am with a warm smile and during our stay made sure that we were very comfortable. He went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable trip. His team made us delicious meals too! Book this room if you are looking for a special place.

    We had an amazing stay at WAFLA. Ahmed is very knowledgeable about the area and he was incredibly helpful with tours and transportation. He went above an beyond to give us a great time in Siwa. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and the chef cooked us delicious breakfasts and made us a dinner on request. The room was clean and comfortable and the whole site was beautifully decorated. Truly couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you Ahmed!

    Aircon external unit is very noisy.

    Quiet location, nice environment at the edge of a date palm plant. Two bungalows, so if you prefer to avoid the crowd, this place is a good option. The only real issue is the noisy AC.

    3. One of the issues that bothered us the most was the cleanliness of the rooms. When the previous guests left, the room was given to us within 10 minutes & the only thing that was done was to change the sheets. The fridge was not cleaned, and the top of the refrigerator had a leftover juice stain. The center table wasn't cleaned, and there were stains of Coca-Cola on it. I had to put the table outside. The floor mats seemed dirty. OMG the bathroom! She did not clean the bathroom; she only sprayed water everywhere. You need to use soap and toilet cleaner to clean. We were truly disappointed, and the room smelled not clean. 4. The dining area is so lovely, and you need to keep it nice and tidy. There is just a clutter of things, a random balloon, and things all over the seating area next to the dining table. The thing is, you can argue that yes, the rates are so cheap, why would you complain? But these rates are okay for college students. Some people (like us) who can pay more and won't mind paying more if the place delivers excellence. This place has that potential, too. 5. We don't mind having the same breakfast daily, but it has no love. The main staff is alone, and she is probably tired of doing everything. We stayed at places in Egypt for $20, and they had better omelets. The fried eggs had no seasoning. Another thing is tht Siwa has excellent produce!!! Dates, olives, jams. Why not put these things in the middle? If anyone wants it, they can help themselves. The first day, the jams were not all natural; later days, they were better. I recommend using natural, homemade things, and Europeans love that. Why not make a cake with dates? You can give one piece for breakfast> Why not put good marinated olives and olive oil on the table? 6. The pool needs more cleaning. Please get a strainer net, and in the morning, you can just clean a bit. 7. We felt a bit trapped as it needed a tuk-tuk to go out & we had to rely on the host.

    1. The idea behind the layout is excellent: the two main guest houses on the side, the pool, hammocks, the main dinner table, the design, the white cushions, and the use of neutral-colored stones. It is also very quiet at night, which is excellent! 2. Ahmed has years of experience in hospitality, and it shows. He cares about the guests. He stayed up late until 2 a.m. to fix the internet. The internet here was excellent, too—it was super fast! He also gave us rides to the town when he could, and we appreciate that. 3. The host allows you to check in early and lets you rest in a spare room, which is an incredible addition to your stay. 4. The Rooms are big, and we liked how spacious they were! This place has so much potential, but it was not hitting the mark. Ahmed is trying, but he is only one man doing everything. I think this place needs a lead staff who will put in the love. I want to address many issues because it will be better for future. The issues: 1. The first night, the dinner suggestion was not good, though we decided to go for your suggestion, it was not nice. It felt like an abandoned place. The place knew we were coming and they didn't wipe the tables, or anything. It was too dark, and some side dishes were the same as the ones fed to those French girls for lunch. Only one old bottle of water was provided. Ahmed, we felt very sad that night because of that. Btw you said 600/person for beef & I was there. So when we paid 1200, you said, "Oh, I said 650." Actually, you made a mistake. You didn't say 650, you said 600. My husband & I have great memories. We appreciate that you wanted to take us back to the hotel, but we could have taken the tuk-tuk and waited 1.4 hours in that office, which was unnecessary. For us, the food was just not good at allll. Not worth it. 2. The desert trip you booked was another bad luck. Driver didn't take us to the sunset, which was the main point.

    The room was a bit too hot, even we turned on the air-con for more than an hour, the heat was still kept inside. It’s better to turn on the air-con earlier in the day.

    It was quite quiet and the host was nice. There were bicycles for rental. It’s a cozy place.
