I’ve finally gathered reviews and comments about Mara House and our Salahadeen Restaurant here on my own website. There aren’t many for Salahadeen, as it’s been open only to Mara House guests for years and TripAdvisor has since removed those reviews. These come from TripAdvisor, Google Maps, guest blogs, letters, and other kind words shared over time. Some are missing, as I hadn’t realized TripAdvisor began deleting reviews from tour guests who did their tours with us but who didn’t stay at Mara House. I hope these words give you a true sense of who we are and what Mara House is all about. Enjoy, Mara
Taste the real Luxor in comfort
"This somewhat out-of-the-way B&B won't suit everyone, but if you want to get a taste of the real Luxor and get away from the hassles, do go to Mara House. The hospitality and service are excellent; breakfast is good, and the rooms are well equipped. Mara promises - and delivers - a baksheesh-free zone and it was nice to be able to walk around the local area with minimal hassles. You get a very different perspective on Luxor by staying at Mara House, than what you would if you were only seeing the big resort hotels along the Nile Corniche.
A couple of small criticisms - the front bedroom was very noisy as the windows didn't seal properly (the bedrooms away from the street front were okay); the toilet seat didn't fit properly; there didn't seem to be any air conditioning in our suite so you might want to watch out for that during hotter months; and it would have been nice to have some more comfy seating in the lounge/dining room.
On the whole, though, I would recommend this to other families and say that it represents good value for Luxor."
