Lovely but not as advertised (and thus a bit overpriced)
Beautiful, peaceful and quiet location on the outskirts of Bawiti. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The establishment itself is a bit rustic but clean.
According to the advertisement on booking.com the establishment was supposed to have a restaurant and a bar but these concepts were interpreted rather loosely. The establishment has a very kind cook who prepares a set breakfast and dinner. The bar consists of water cooker and (sometimes) coffee machine. There’s a possibility to store some of your own refreshments in a fridge on site. Tip: bring your own snacks, drinks and entertainment. The hotelmanager (son of the owner) won’t be of any use in this regard unless you’re willing to sell a kidney or to for a bone to fetch.

A unique place to stay in Bahariya
Its location and set up in a beautiful landscape
Nothing in particular

Beautiful location and wonderful staff, but completely unacceptable value for money.
The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by the peaceful landscape of Bahariya Oasis. The property has a lot of charm and potential, with lovely architecture, a garden, a pool and even a donkey, which our children particularly enjoyed.
What really stood out, however, was the staff. Everyone we encountered was genuinely kind, warm, welcoming and eager to help. They did their very best to make our stay enjoyable, despite the obvious shortcomings of the property. They deserve real recognition, and none of the criticism below is directed at them.
Unfortunately, the reality of the property falls far short of what its appearance and pricing would lead you to expect. While Tzila Bahariya could be a truly wonderful place, it is clearly suffering from a lack of proper management, maintenance and attention to detail.
The property feels neglected in many areas, with cleanliness and maintenance issues throughout, including in the rooms and bathrooms. The pool, which should be one of the highlights, was cold and poorly maintained. There were also issues with insects, and Wi-Fi and mobile reception were extremely limited.
The food was very basic, with little variety or flexibility, and certainly not what you would expect at this price point.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that the setting is genuinely special and the staff are wonderful. With proper investment, professional management and consistent upkeep, this could be an exceptional destination. Instead, guests are paying premium prices for an experience that simply does not deliver.
The responsibility for these shortcomings clearly lies with the management and ownership, not with the hardworking staff, who are doing their best under the circumstances.
Ultimately, the value for money is completely unacceptable.

It wasn't good value for money at all
The room was very nice, comfortable, clean, and looked exactly like the pictures.
the dining experience was disappointing. The restaurant wasn't good; the food portions were small, and the variety was very limited. The service was also poor. Even though it was an open buffet, we were charged extra for anything additional we took.
Furthermore, there was no management available to address our concerns, and the reception area was not clean at all
Tout était parfait. Le personnel aux petits soins. Emplacement hyper agréable.-
Les repas très bons et les cuisiniers préparent les plats en fonction des besoins de chacun. Ils font même des repas à emporter pour passer la journée dans le désert.
Les chambres sont magnifiques.
