10/10 Exceptional

Most amazing breakfast and location next to Philea temple and boat ride to hotel saved an extra cost because you are on the Nile so why pay for excursion then just boat a few minutes to the temple a place like this in America would be $400 a night way so safe go and relax

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely and unique hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was nice, but they could speed things up by having some coffee in pots already made. Each cup is made individually and slowly. The dinner was just so so. The spa was great. People should be aware they do not serve alcohol, even though is a terrific location for a drink.

Best place to stay in Aswan!

We stayed here before going to Abu Simbel and afterwards in the cruise to Luxor. Fantastic hotel with unique ambience. Highly recommended!

Overall good.

The boat ride was always fun and the food was good. Service was also good. The pick up services are a little pricy considering the cost of living there, but was more professional.
Jang Won, 2-night trip

The boat ride to the property was amazing and the rooms were even more amazing. The staff was very pleasing and our dinner and view has no words. 2 thumbs up for BenBen

6/10 Good

Amazing location on an island. Excellent staff and service. The food and juices were incredible. Would recommend sun loungers in patio area. Jacuzzi was not warm. They staff tried to hear it up but it didn’t work
sine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unique and dramatic hotel on island of granite boulders overlooking the Philae Temple. Lovely warm rooms. Great food and spectacular views from the terrace. Downside is that everywhere is a steep climb or series of stairs. Not for the mobility impaired or elderly. If you’re young and active, a perfect spot.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the coolest, most relaxing and wonderful places we have ever stayed before. This was such a treat for us, everything was wonderful from the moment we stepped into the hotel, the staff was so welcoming and friendly and did everything they could to make sure we had a lovely stay. It is designed beautifully and our room felt so special. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Egypt and we wish we had more time at the Ben Ben. We also loved the live music every night at dinner, the Nubian music was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back to Aswan for many reasons and this hotel is one of those reasons.

THE place to stay if you're heading to Aswan

One of our favourite hotels on our recent visit to Egypt. Merna checked us in and showed us around the resort and her warmth and accommodating nature made us feel very welcome. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable - the views of the water are spectacular. We did have one experience in the restaurant/bar area where the manager asked why I was 'arrogant' for simply stating we needed to leave by a certain time for a spa appointment. This was extremely rude and made us feel uncomfortable on our last afternoon at the resort - apart from his attitude - everything else was amazing.
Kane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

BenBen lived up to the expectation. The hotel is absolutely fantastic, the rooms are wonderful, all have a personal jacuzzi/pool. Very comfortable bed and very clean. The staff are all wonderful, from reception to cleaning staff and all at the restaurant. They truly make your trip fantastic. The only point of improvement would be for the kitchen: waiters can get orders wrong sometimes. And need to make bread fresh daily, we had day old bread the entire trip unfortunately. Overall an amazing experience, so relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful resort in a superb setting. Will definitely try to go back in the future. Highly recommended for couples, solo, friends getaway. :)
