國際溫泉飯店(International Hot Spring Hotel)

Spent New Years Eve at this hotel with a tour into the White Desert. Please call Peter for specific driving directions to reach the hotel from Cairo. We drove ourselves with no problems, having U.S. Passports. Five hours from Cairo to the hotel via Sheikh Zayed, and 4 hours on way back via 6th of October. Do not self drive via Mena. Road is in excellent condition, newly paved. Two gas stations on the drive between Cairo and the Oasis. Peter is an outstanding host, well organized, and with good wine in Peter's bar. The hiking behind the hotel is excellent, lots to see in the Black Desert. The one-night safari to white desert was incredible. Reminder that there is a 750LE or so fee per person that has to be paid to a ranger in the White Desert, normally at the famous rock. Dont miss crystal mountain.

The positive points: the hotel is clean, breakfast simple but sufficient. Negative points: the rooms definitely need a face lift, especially the bathrooms, looks like my grandparents bathroom 30 years ago, no tv at all, the one in the reception doesn't work, water flow in the taps very poor

Bonne infrastructure, mais Hôtel et jardin peu entretenus. La télé est hors d’âge, le chemin pour accéder aux chambres un enchevêtrement de broussailles. Le ménage n’est pas fait dans les chambres, sous prétexte de Covid, ce qui aurait été compréhensible au plus fort de l’épidémie mais plus maintenant. Mauvais rapport qualité /prix, trop cher par rapport aux hôtels avoisinants. Personnel serviable et gentil.

Beaucoup trop cher par rapport aux prestations proposées et aux hôtels environnants. Personnel très gentil et serviable, mais hôtel et jardin peu entretenus. Pas de ménage des chambres, l’excuse Covid est éculée en Novembre 2022 ! Équipement des chambres sommaire, la télé cathodique n’a pas d’âge.

We booked very last minute and were immediately accommodated with transfers, a desert tour, and overnight accommodations with breakfast included. Peter was unbelievably friendly and was quick to keep us on schedule to fully enjoy our stay. The food we were cooked by our tour guide was the culinary highlight of our trip. Every person we interacted with was a delight, the only bummer was that quite a few hot springs were out of commission due to faulty equipment (and there being only one means of fixing them in the oasis). The unbelievable icing on the cake was when I left my headphones behind in the transfer car, and the team at the hotel worked with the driver to have my headphones returned to me in Cairo. That's service beyond the call of duty! Can't recommend this spot enough.

A wonderful dream hotel, in the middle of an oasis of its own. Lovely, simple rooms which help you to feel on a safari. Peter and Miharu, the owners, take personal care for their clients. Having their own tour agency, they offer safaris to the black and white desert, where you can spend one or more nights. So beautiful!

Everything worked excellent with them since the first contact. They picked us in Cairo and when we arrived we went directly to the Black and White desert. Our guide, Tamr, was an amazing driver, guide and cook! In the return we stayed one night in the hotel, which is simple but cozy. They are also specialized in tours to Gilf Kebir (depicted in the English Patient movie), although currently tours are not being allowed there. Could not thank enough Peter and Miharu for the outstanding service.

The owner is very knowledgeable about all things in and around Bawiti. Organised fantastic tours for me. Highly recommend. Pity the hot pool wasn’t open😁
