Siwa – Íbúðir

Shiam Peng Singapúr

I was originally supposed to only stay one night at Paloma Lodge from 6 Nov to 7 Nov, but because I enjoyed my stay here so much, I decided to extend for 4 more nights, only checking out on 10 Nov instead. Paloma Lodge is very well located, with only about 5 mins’ walk away from Siwan town centre where all the restaurants, cafés and shops are located. Apart from that, it’s only a stone’s throw away from a fresh water spring, where it’s perfect for an early morning or mid-afternoon swim. The host, Captain Nair, is super kind, warm and hospitable! He made me feel very welcomed and because I was a solo female traveller, he would check on me when I’m out later in the evening. In fact, he invited me to dinners at the lodge with lovely meals, either prepared by the good Captain himself, or his lovely housekeeper, Safie! The lodge is very tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The one-room apartment that I stayed in was very cosy and was sufficiently equipped with kitchen appliances, such as; electric kettle, toaster oven and a fridge. I will definitely stay at Paloma Lodge again, when I come back to Siwa!! It was a very enjoyable and cosy homestay which felt like you are with family. A home away from home.

This is a new homestay, and the owner is very nice. It is highly recommended to stay here, it will have a good journey in Siwa. The location is great. It's only 190 meters walk from the bus station, you can easily find its location. It's in the city center and it's very convenient to buy food, water, souvenirs. On the roof, you can see the three most famous scenic spots in Siwa. The boss is very nice. 1⃣️ After I booked the house, he contacted me in time to confirm the number of people with me. Tell me the sights in Siwa in advance. He greeted us at the front of the house when we arrived in Siwa, it was very hot, and he gave us iced dates. 2⃣️Introduce delicious restaurants, tell us Abdu restaurant, Tekeyet Elamir restaurant, these two restaurants are good, and the taste is really good when we try it! 3⃣️After dinner, the owner took us to Shali to watch the sunset. Because there are a lot of us and our schedules are different, we went to Shali twice, and he took them twice. it's free 4⃣️Introducing a reliable guide, we went to Salt Lake, fatnas island, Ain Cleo Patra and the Dead Mountain in one day. These places are beautiful. The guide arranged a very reasonable time, told us where to take pictures, and the price was very cheap The house is fine. The room was tidy, the bed and sofa were clean. There is a kitchen and some basic utensils in this house, we can cook by ourselves. There is air conditioning in the bedroom, Siwa is hot and the air conditioning keeps us alive. There are many sockets in the room, so we don't need to worry about no place to charge our phone. There is a washing machine for washing clothes. There is a large terrace on the roof where you can dry clothes; you can sit on the roof to eat at night. However, the wifi signal is not very good, but I think this should not be the reason of the hotel.

Good place and nice location. Ahmed was a great host. He helped me to arrange an amazing solo travel in Siwa since my friends could not join me in this location. He was very kind and accommodated all the places I wanted to visit in the time that worked for me. Recommended 100%
