Really nice, quiet and friendly hotel hidden away on the West Bank. Not an awful lot to do in the vicinity, the West Bank is a rural area of dirt tracks and banana fields so not easy to walk to anything else. However, It is an easy took took ride to the ferry, which takes you to the east side and the city proper. The staff were always helpful, arranging taxis and took tooks and offering advice. The food was all tasty and the pool was a welcome respite at the end of the day. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Nice family hotel with wonderful pool and view of the nile and banana-garden. Staff is helpful, friendly and takes care about everything. As I haven’t arrived by car they helped me to get a taxi or transferred me by tuk tuk to the nearby ferry station. I felt home.

The hotel manager Saeed and his staff provided excellent service and additional assistance with booking excursions such as a Nile cruise, travelling to east bank of luxor and purchasing spices from a local vendor. The hotel is clean and the room is spacious with a nice view of the nile and the hotel garden. We booked half board and the breakfast and dinners were varied and freshly prepared with some ingredients from the hotel garden like banana, mango, arugala, coriander, lime and okra. Should I return to Luxor I would book with Howard Carter Jewell of the Valley again.

Clean Safe Great Staff very Helpful and courteous.

I visited with my spouse for a couple of days. She mentioned this was one of her favorite stays of all time Sitting in the quiet evening eating a leisurely meal at the restaurant while watching different boats go up and down the Nile was memorable. It was also a welcome escape from Cairo and Luxor cities. The staff was nothing but gracious and kind. Service was top-tier and food was good. It's not too bad getting back and forth across the river - we'll worth it to experience the peace of staying here.

Staff professional and friendly. They prepared excellent y magnificent tours. I enjoyed my short stance in this hotel. I recommend this property if you wanna peace and good service.

Nice location, surrounded by banana fields and orchards. The rooms are spacious, modern and clean. We had some problems with a guide, but the hotel staff helped us as soon as we contacted them.

This hotel is located on the other side of the Nile where all the actions are so it is more quiet. However is can be very inconvenience to get around at night when you can't cross with the boat. It's very isolated and this hotel charge too much for the shuttle where you can get a taxi for a fraction of the cost. Food was pricy but good. Tips: CRUISE $45-$55USD/night/person (most cruise are the same stander, don't let them talk you into "5 star" it's NOT), HOT AIR BALLON $40-$50/person. 8hrs PRIVATE TOUR with driver for 2 people $60-$80USD (make sure to ask for someone who speak clear English). These price are as of April 2022 ask around or the host, Mohammed. Make sure you bargain. You must bargain for everything and anything in Egypt. You should definitely do the cruise. It's includes all meals and excursion, you just need to "tips which is expected". Overall we find the people of Egypt are not very friendly, they just want your money. We booked a 13 nights in Egypt but we were able to do the cruise see all the temples and pyramids so we left after 9 nights.

We left after 1 night , problems with toilet , shower and other stuff ! Stale bread served with breakfast ! We made a serious mistake in booking this place !

This was the best property I stayed in during my vacation in Egypt. The hotel was clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and all of the staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming and they treated all the visitors as if they were Family. Also the food was amazing the evening meals tasted great. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying at Luxor. Thanks. David

Your stay was perfect. Hassan the host/care taker was lovely, very accommodating and friendly. He even did our laundry! We had the whole place to ourselves and the facilities were in great shape, lovely pool.

This hotel was truly a wonderful experience. Howard Carter Hotel and Guest house was located a little far from main town Luxor, which we were originally a little sad about, however, after two minutes of arriving we realized this was best. It is so quite around the hotel, and the staff members make it so easy for you to get around that you really dont feel as if you are missing anything! The tours they set up for us were incredible, Mohammad was funny and courteous, and the guide they hired the second day was very intelligent and interesting. We were so sad to only have book one night at the hotel once we realized how wonderful it was.Also, while they dont have a restaurant, if you order dinner or breakfast (you have to do this in advanced) you will not regret it. The chef cooked up the most amazing and delicious meal that we got to eat in the privacy of the dining room (dinner) and out on the terrace overlooking the pool and the Nile (breakfast). Everything in the hotel was spotless and up-to-date. This was truly a five star experience. Thank you for everything!

Management and staff went out of their way to provide a wonderful experience at the “Jewel of the Valley”. Fresh lemon and mint from the garden on arrival; exceptional quality and care from the dining room. Meals overlooking the Nile River. The property was very well maintained and the staff made us feel welcome. I will recommend the Jewel of the Valley to all my family and friends!!!

On a whim, we decided to fly from Cairo to Luxor in January 2019. I found the Jewel on Hotels.com and booked two rooms. We sent a message to the hotel asking if they could pick us up at the Luxor airport and also find us an English-speaking guide. Not only did they pick us up promptly and transport us to the hotel but once we arrived , they welcomed us with open arms and treated us like royalty--- preparing a breakfast on the balcony. I'll admit that I was a little concerned on the road to the hotel. At one point I'm not sure the road was even paved. But once we arrived, I realized what a hidden jewel this place is. There are only about 7 or 8 rooms each with an Egyptian name ,not a number. Each is unique The place was exceptionally clean and the rooms had very modern bathrooms, complete with 6ft long bath towels, blow dryers, and wonderful showers. This is a QUIET setting with pastoral views and the Nile stretching out behind the green fields. Very relaxing and very accommodating staff--chef prepared lovely meals served out on the veranda and the manager was very attentive, The chauffer also helped at the hotel and after our meal, prepared a campfire and brewed Egyptian tea for us in the flames and we sat around the fire outside talking and listening to music. They drove us around everywhere the next day and we had a great guide too. (Be sure to see Karnak Temple!) The pool looked pristine but weather was too cool when we visited. Very reasonable prices too!
