We (myself, my partner and our 15-years old son) spend two days in Luxor beginning of November, having both our overnight stay as our meals and tours organized through Malkata House.
The hotel is aesthetically very pleasing, with beautiful views from the roof terrace and a calm inner yard with pool and reclining chairs. We had a comfortable, generous apartment located on the ground floor with very spacious bathroom and living room. The personnel was very friendly and we felt very welcome. The chef cooked for us exquisite Egyptian food, the portions were very generous. Our guide, Hamdi, was very knowledgeable and friendly, we really enjoyed our tours on the East and West Bank with him.
If going to Luxor, Malkata House is a location we do wholeheartedly recommend!

イスラム建築らしい丸屋根や中庭の美しさを堪能できる宿です。部屋もゆとりがありますが、自由に行き来できる公共スペースも広々としています。屋上やベランダからは砂漠や王妃の谷が一望でき、心に残る最高の朝日と夕日を見ることができました。
ディナーはおまかせで、伝統的なエジプト料理がたっぷりと出てきます。これがびっくりするほど美味しいです! ただの野菜のタジンがこんなに甘味と旨味に溢れているなんて……と感動せずにはいられませんでした。
イスラム色の強い宿なので、お酒を飲むことはできませんが、それを補って余りある素晴らしい体験ができます。屋上で暖かいコーヒーを飲みながら、砂漠を照らす月を眺めたひとときは、この先ずっと忘れることがないでしょう。
ティッシュペーパーやドライヤーなどのアメニティーは一切なく、前述したようにお酒も飲めません。パッと買い物に行けるような場所でもないので、利便性を求めるなら他の宿をおすすめします。

My family loved everything about this hotel. It is located in a quiet part of Luxor with beautiful lighted mountain views at night and during sunrise hot air balloon filled skies. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily while we were out exploring. The pool was also a plus.
Our staff was exceptional as well. Special shout out to our host Ahmed, who made sure our stay very cozy and welcoming. Ahmed over delivered in every request we had and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't find a better person to run this hotel than Ahmed. I can't give him enough review for how good he is, I can only recommend you stay and see for yourself...you won't be disappointed.
Chef Hassan also deserves mentioning as his cooking was great. He made us local dishes that were delicious and filling. We never left the dining area with empty stomach. My kids requested a dish and Hassan and Ahmed , without question, whipped it up for them. I couldn't ask for a more enthusiastic and dedicated chef.
Great job to the staff ☆☆☆☆☆ keep doing an amazing job.
That I couldn't stay longer

The property was very new. overall the location of the property is great! with an uninterupted view of the Vally of the Queens from the roof top. Its close to all the attractions on the west bank and is a good place to explore from. Rooms were new and nicely done. We also had breakfast at the property for USD 5 per person which was a very good meal.
At the time of our visit the pool and some other common areas were still under construction. Hopefully that will be done in a few months. Apart from that the only complaint we have was the lack of airconditioning in the unit we stayed. The common areas did not have any A/C and the A/C unit in our room was old and malfunctioning. Also since this is a bit further away from the usual spots, can be a bit difficult to find.

Nos encanto, super acogedor

服务很好,特别是Ahmed非常热心的帮我们和司机联系,非常感谢。酒店离哈布城很近,附近的餐厅和小卖店也都不错,住在西岸可以避开不少坑。天台上可以看到日落和热气球,早餐也非常丰盛。
房间的门不太好开
4.6
房间挺大,接待人员很热情,位我们找了司机,还找了热气球项目,价格也比较合适。位置有些偏,但也远离了喧闹,早上是狗叫生和鸡叫声唤醒了我们,不是路人的喧闹和汽车的轰鸣声。
洗澡的热水不够一家人使用,但在卢克索,估计都是一样的。

Siamo due coppie di amici, ci siamo fermati tre giorni e due notti a Malkata House ed è stata una meravigliosa scoperta. L’appartamento era pulitissimo e tutto lo staff super cordiale. Una nota di merito va data allo chef che ha preparato per noi colazioni, pranzi e cena da far invidia a molti, il cibo era preparato con cura e attenzione e ci sono stati spiegati tutti gli ingredienti. siamo rimasti incantanti da questo stupendo posto e ci siamo sentiti come a casa. grazie di cuore

Food was delicious, but 3* overpriced
But staff was friendly and tried to find alternative to baby crib , but it didn’t work
Not clean, a lot of dust everywhere.
Bathroom smells and most of it needs renovation.
We were next to the hall and it was loud + constant sound of moved chairs upstairs.
Also no baby crib. That was very challenging.
Quite overpriced.

The staff was amazing. Ahmed helped us by going out of his way. The location is right at the starting point of west bank sites so a bit far from bank but Ahmed helped us to get a cab, coordinated with him our pickup from the ferry point as well even late in night. Chef was also really good. The property has good view of the valley/hill. The property is beautiful.
For us, the best thing about the property was the helpful Ahmed!
The location is good because it is very near to west bank sites but that makes it a bit far from banks and the east bank

La comida espectacular y el personal muy atento
El sistema de ducha
4.6
Kommunikation und Check-In waren gut, der Gastgeber freundlich. Aussicht von der kleinen Dachterrasse ist schön.
Das Essen ist überteuert - für ein Menu der gleichen Art bezahlt man in der Stadt 5 € . Genauso wie die Location an sich, wenn man die ferne Lage bedenkt.
Die Fahrer finden die Location nur schlecht und reklamieren, weil die Strasse zu schlecht ist und verlangen Aufpreise. Nachts würde ich hier nicht alleine rausgehen. Ich habe im Zimmer viele Haare von anderen Gästen gefunden, in der Dusche und beim Wohnzimmerteppich.
Die Gastgeber bieten übterteuerte Trips an. Ihr bekommt dasselbe zum halben Preis, wenn ihr online bucht.
Baulärm und nicht immer funktionierendes Wlan runden die Erfahrung ab.

The pictures, reviews and location had put our expectations for this hotel already very high, but nothing could prepare us for the amazing experience we have had staying at the Malkata House!
First of all the location, directly on the border of the of the oasis looking over the desert and the Valley of the Queens, it is a very quite and safe environment. Early morning the balloons fly over, which makes it feel you wake up in a fairy tale.
Second the accommodation and the room itself; the facility is new, very clean, well decorated and with amazing architecture.
But third, the staff; words can not describe how great the team of owner Mohammed are! Ahmed, a host who has service in his blood, makes sure you get everything you need and more. Always available, quick in response and very helpful in planning anything you need. No request is to much for him. He will also serve you in the restaurant and does so with a lot of professionalism and eye for detail. Hassan, the man with me warmest smile in the entire world, will cook food like no one else. Every meal he served us, both breakfast and dinner, was fabulous. Fresh, tasty, creative. The only problem you will have with the food is that it’s hard to stop eating when your full. If you’re lucky enough to stay at this hotel, I highly recommend to have any meal possible at the place as I can not imagine any other chef in Luxor will beat his cooking skills. Also a shout out to the super friendly Mahmut, the security. Always friendly and warm in communication.
I will definitely come back to Luxor just to stay at this place again, and highly recommended anyone else to do the same!
Saying goodbye :(

Un vrai coup de cœur ! Le lieu est magique. Le personnel aux petits soins et conciliant
Les chambres sont propres et décorées avec soin. Le rooftop a tombé. Vu panoramique sur la vallée des rois.

Das Personal ist extrem gastfreundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend. Jeder Wunsch, jedes Anliegen wird direkt und einfach erfüllt. Hassan kocht vorzüglich und Ahmet und der Rest des Teams kümmern sich bestens um alles andere. Die Lage und die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf das Tal der Königinnen und die “Tote Stadt“ beim Sonnenuntergang, sowie die Ruhe am Wüstenrand sind wunderbar.
Unsere gebuchten Ausflüge über Malkata House mit Saber als Guide und Mohammed, unserem Fahrer waren individuell und professionell !!!

The property was amazing! Great air conditioning, clean, large, amazing rooftop with great view. Friendly host with wonderful breakfast. Highly Recommend!!
Nothing, was literally perfect!
4.6
The location was perfect if you plan to visit the valley on the kings and queens, the temple of Hatshepsut. If it's not too hot, you can even walk to many places.
It's peaceful and quiet, away from the hassle of Luxor. The staff is very helpful and super nice.
Karnak and Luxor temples are a ferry away.
The room are comfortable with everything you need. And the view from the terrasse so beautiful.
Hassan is a great cook.
Special thanks to Ahmed for his help and advise
The fact that I had to leave this amazing place.

The view from the rooftop was great. The ability to have prepared meals on request was nice.
The bathroom was awkward. The stove in the kitchen wasn't functional.
4.6
The host, chefs, and staff were wonderful, welcoming, and super helpful.
The food is amazing, it’s the best food we’ve had in Egypt.
Hidden humble gem - a peaceful respite from the bustle of Cairo/Aswan/East Bank (for those doing the traditional tourist route). I wished we were staying here longer. It has that warm, home stay atmosphere.
There’s a full kitchen with a fridge/freezer if that is helpful to note.

Malkata House is a gem, located just beyond the rugged hills and desert on the West Bank. The winds from the Nile still reach you on the terrace and the tiled apartments maintain a cool temperature even on a scorching day. Ahmed and (just) Hassan were so helpful whenever we needed something. And Mohamed, the owner, did a wonderful job organizing all our tours and was willing to work with our budget. Our tour guide, Hamdi was incredible...so well versed in the history of ancient Egypt (he reads hieroglyphics!) He was able to make connections to the lives of everyday Egyptians today. Truly a memorable guide. None of these even measure up to the Chef. Chef Hassan, an incredible and imaginative cook, always welcomed us with his inviting arms and warm smile. We ate things we'd never touch anywhere else simply because they sang under Chef Hassan's ministration. An incredible stay all around. Leave the East Bank for touring, stay at Malkata House to restore body and soul.
Nothing!

Amazing villa with great facilities and space!! View from rooftop was very nice and the food was unreal!
Location is a little far from anything, not even uber will come out that far.
4.6
only positive point was the view from the terrace.
Some staff member walked into the flat without knocking on the door, then tried to enter my room by moving the door handle up and down for several tiems, which luckily was locked. It is very inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour, when I addressed this they just told me they wanted to turn the light off. which is nonsense because I was in the room, reading and it wasn't that late. Also the waiter ignored me a couple of times.
4.6
The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. Kitchen and bath well equipped. Ahmed is very hospitable and helpful.
Expect a bumpy approach by car, only Arabic TV programs

Very recommendable in every way. Awesome food, great location and lovely staff. Also the owner organises everything you wish regarding trips, transports etc. for a very reasonable price.

Nice place, awesome views from the rooftop terrace. Hassan is very friendly and an amazing cook, we really recommend trying his dinner! Also, Ahmed took very good care of us. Definitely coming back. Remember bringing something against mosquitos ;)
4.6
The rooftop view was beautiful. The room was nice,clean and spacious. The host was very nice.
The location is very remote. Far from the city, eating and drinking options. There is no sign on the building, it was hard to find. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room. The breakfast and the room are really overpriced for what you get. The bathroom is so tiny.

Chef Hassan and Ahmed were most welcoming and attentive to our every need . They both did everything to make us feel at home and comfortable. Together with the ownerMr. Mohamed they arranged for our airport pickup and all transport needs. The traditional breakfast was excellent & good cooking smells around meal times were very enticing. We left happy 😃 thanks to their cordiality & generous hospitality
The ground apt we had was comfortable and functional though not sunny. Good light towards afternoon but recommend u try getting first floor. The roof and dinning aerea were drenched in sunlight , simply pleasant decorations and comfortable

This is very new, fresh, super clean, spacious house on the left bank of Nile. we rented an apartment and it looked as if we were one of the first customers. Hosts were super helpful, hospitable, they organized transfers for us as well as a very good whole day guided tour with Saber. it was super professional, very interesting and informative. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. so was a lunch served at a rooftop with amazingly beautiful view of the desert and the mountains where archeological sites nearby are located. overall this was the best stay we had on our trip to Egypt.
it is not a negative comment but one should realize that the house is located a bit far from Luxor, in a village Kurna. this has some advantages (proximity of the archeological sites on the left bank, nice and interesting landscapes of the village as well as a desert) but if you want to be in a city, it might not be your first choice. Hosts however may arrange transfers on boat and on a car perfectly.

Assan et Ahmed were so nice and friendly. Always helpful and smiling. Assan cooked such a good meal, it was wonderful. The view is so great et so close to the kings valley and other temples and sanctuaries. The rooms are so well decorated. Everything was perfect. Thanks Ahmed, thanks Assan . Peggy & her family

Incredible stay, the place and views are beautiful and clear, Mohamed was so helpful with everything that we needed and organised all the tours that we wanted and helped with drivers when needed, all the staff were so lovely and courteous; the highlight of the place has to be Chef Hassan who catered for all our meals with so much amazing food for every meal that we were spoilt for choice, and he paid close attention to allergies for one of the travellers. Would love to stay again!
