Taziry Ecolodge Siwa

Staying at Taziry was the right choice to escape the city noise. Being completely off grid, in a peaceful place with a great energy, food that is criminally good, fire place every night, great hosts, and still having the availability to have tours to town and sightseeing whenever I wanted. From my 2 nights experience I suggest you to: not miss great sunrise view at Taziry where you can watch different birds, strolling around cats and the calm lake. Ask for Chef Omar's food ( the best in Siwa and actually one of the best inEgypt from everything I tried last month) Visit the Templeton of Amun, Um Ubaida, and the Salt lakes! Taziry has a spacious library even if a bit abandoned it gave it a very special charm. Books I found were in Arabic, English, German and French. I found a book from 1950 about Siwa oasis which gave me many insights and information prior to my cultural tours ✨ I bought my tours through them and my transportation to the station to take bus to Cairo. The driver/ guide was very friendly and showed us around many beautiful gems. I felt very safe myself as a Woman there I could feel am having great service and great respect as well. I never felt like locking my doors for once even when I would leave for tours. A Don't do: One mistake I did was when leaving to Siwa center to take my bus to Cairo I only said take me to the bus station. But there are actually two different stops one for the coach ( big) busses and one for the small shuttles each run by a different company so the driver took me to a different stop but that was on me and luckily we had enough time for him to drive me to the correct place and didn't really charge me anything more. Do not expect electricity access everywhere at Taziry. Well after all the point is to be an eco place with a grounded energy. I chargee me devices once a day at a charging point at the reception.

Was a wonderful experience, very friendly and helpful staff, rooms are spectacular and spacious, food was delicious, price was very reasonable, suitable for couples and families. Highly recommended in order to fulfill the back to nature retreat.

The rooms were clean and simple , beds were very comfy and calm made the sleep at night so easy and peaceful. The facility though needs some cleanup work and maintenance. Seating areas seemed dusty and worn out. My only concern was the towels cleaning process, I ve asked for change of towels twice during my stay due to finding very dirty stains on the towels provided as fresh when checked in.

Worst experience at a hotel ever. Hotel staff were extremely rude. On our last day they called us to come back to the hotel in the middle of our excursion to change rooms. We declined. Upon returning that evening, we found that they had kicked us out of our suite at the request of another guest, and relocated us to a new room with no hot water, terrible smell, and no door lock. The manager was not present for our whole stay, only the chef was dealing with this. They harassed us all night, trying to enter the room to get things left inside. I tried to complain to the manager over the phone and he cussed me out. Terrible place, do not recommend.

This was our 17th trip to Siwa staying at Taziry Ecolodge. We witnessed several improvements enhancing the comfort of all guests, including the new sensor auto lighting of all bathrooms. Overall all members of our group had a wonderful time at Taziry, where the staff were super friendly, courteous, and attentive to our every need. I must alert future guests staying at Taziry, that they will most certainly gain weight as a result of the delicious meals prepared and served by the lovely staff members, food is simply WONDERFUL!

While I imagine this place could be a 5-star destination, it is currently poorly maintained and in need of an abundance of love and care. I was here with a group of 30 people. My room had a leaking toilet the entire visit, with water surrounding the toilet at all times, even tho management addressed it and attempted to fix it. I imagine there was probably mold there as well due to the constancy of standing water...didn't take out a flashlight to verify. No hot water the first day. After that, there was hot water, but the floor of the shower was so slimy, I lay a towel down to stand upon. The bathroom clearly had not been cleaned between guests....toothpaste on the mirror, faucets, sink area. I finally cleaned it myself as I was so disgusted. There was a water bottle cap found under the sink on the floor from previous occupant that remained in place from day 1 of my stay in this room. This seems to be run by all males, not a female in sight. The food was good. The lack of cleanliness of the room and lack of maintenance of the grounds/buildings/signs is evidence of the lack of LOVE this place so desperately needs. The ambience of the candles and lack of electricity is quite romantic. I was sorely disappointed with my visit here. I would not recommend staying here.
