Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A cozy small hotel overlooking the sea. It has a small and very beautiful sitting area on the beach. The rooms are very clean, the upper floor has balconies with an amazing sea view. The price might be considered a bit high comparing with the hotel prices in Dahab. Breakfast is included, which is quite ok but we preferred to have our breakfast somewhere else as a change. The owner and the staff are very friendly. One of the things i loved about the hotel that it is not close to the center area of Dahab which is usually crowded and noisy. I would definitely go there again.

I have been there twice, didn’t really like it the first time but then I changed my mind the second visit. The location is heavenly, in the heart of eel garden, which is the quieter, calmer area in dahab now. You have access to a nice private beach (make sure you bring your beach shoes). Bakar is a lovely guy and has an awesome attitude. The owner might come across a little bit unfriendly but he was nice and welcoming.

Clean rooms and excellent breakfast. The place looks like a postcard. We felt in a private paradise. Bachar the bartender is a kind and welcoming guy who will always be happy to help. Highly recommended

I like it’s cleanliness, calmness and the fact that it is not in the crowded area but still few minutes walking away from it. Pretty decent breakfast and a simple yet chique rooms. The staff is friendly but assertive which doesn’t make a problem if your plans and needs are clear, but I haven’t tested their flexibility and I won’t count on it.

His behaviour is threatening to the street animals and those who support them. It's a beautiful spot so such a shame. It creates quite an unpleasant atmosphere. If you love an open, calm, animal friendly environment this is not for you

We stayed for 4 nights in El Primo and wished that we could live there... this place is just the best!! The rooms are clean, well organized and decorated... the bed is very comfortable (to my opinion). The owners of the place are a wonderful couple with two children (don't worry, you won't hear kinds playing day and night) The staff are very friendly also and speak great English! Everyone there is smiling and really helpful! The place has a really nice atmosphere, with its russian/Greek style... I just love it! And let's not forget the food!!! The best Egyptian breakfast I had in my travel in Egypt!!! Everything on the menu is great, but the porridge with fresh fruits in the morning, for me was the bomb! So, go to dahab, book a room there, and it would be the best decision you've taken in a while ;) @thomas_freediver

Lovely little hotel by the sea. Basic room with great view. Extremely clean which I loved. Breakfast starts at 8:30am unless preordered but is freshly cooked. Price is not cheap for Dahab and a 10 min walk to Light House which is the center. Room is bright, nice terrace, Bed is comfortable, good shower. Though a bit noisy as the room doors opens to the back roads and you can hear the cars, did not bother me though as I travel with ear plugs all the time.

Love affordability, style, comfort and location of the place. The hotel is very cozy, simple & convenient, very well situated and with the great helpful staff. We had received the best organisation of our stay and even were able to organize the desert trips and transportation through the hotel staff. Will definitely stay there again & again.
