خزفستا Khazfista

Hisham and his family are wonderful hosts. I enjoyed their food – they were so kind to prepare a lunchbox for my safari trip – and I slept very well in the calm room, which was basic but very clean. Hisham's sister does amazing pottery – she learnt the craft straight from Evelyn Porret. I warmly recommend this accommodation.

There was no wi-fi.

Nice location and environment. Quite clean

No heater and it was cold

Чудесное место - и городок вообще, и сам отель. Рада, что посетила и жаль, что всего на одну ночь. Мы с удовольствием провели вторую половину дня (после экскурсии) в отеле, наслаждались окружающим умиротворением! Номер достаточно просторный, кровати удобные. Очень вкусные были ужин и завтрак, которые мы заказали уже на месте: местная кухня, все свежее!! Хисам организовал нам трансфер из Каира и обратно, он же организовал экскурсии по нашим предпочтениям по хорошей цене. Договаривались мы заранее, еще на стадии бронирования отеля, и все договоренности были выполнены!

Кондиционер не работал. Но обнаружили мы это уже ночью и персонал звать не стали - возможно, просто батарейки надо было поменять. В нашем номере не было ни шкафа, ни даже просто полок для вещей - вот это, конечно, неудобно.

Best accomodation we stayed at in Egypt. It’s located a short walk away from lots of pottery shops and they even have their own workshop at the hotel with beautiful pieces. We also did a pottery class and got to take home what we made :) The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We booked a safari through the hotel and it was amazing and very affordable. But the best part is the kindness of the family! Everyone was so kind and thoughtful and made sure we had an amazing time.

Amazing fresh breakfast and lunch. Room is clean and tidy. The hosts are just amazing people, loved them from the first sight!

Endroit reposant a quelques pas du centre du village. Chambre joliment décorée disposant d'une terrasse aménagée. L'ambiance familiale.

Le gérant est très à l'écoute, il nous programme des sorties très facilement. Le chauffeur de nos balades est très gentil et conduit très bien dans le désert.Le petit déjeuner et le déjeuner est très correct et bon. Il y a de l'eau chaude , le lit est grand et confortable On est pas loin des magasins de poterie

Comfortable and quiet. Powerful fan kept the room feeling cool. Lovely garden setting made for a nice morning sit and breakfast spot! Location convenient to walk to shops and restaurants.

The rooms were clean and equipped. The staff are friendly and supportive.

Nothing.

From booking

The Khazfista guesthouse is truly the ideal place for a real break to taste the sweetness of the Al Fayoum oasis, between the crowded archaeological sites of southern and northern Egypt. It is a small family guesthouse where the passing guest quickly feels integrated into the family. The manager Hisham is incredibly available to take care of his residents. He was able to organize the Giza-Fayoum route for us, as well as a magnificent excursion into the desert, and all this at unrivaled prices. Without any hesitation, I recommend that you make this detour through Tunis and Khazfista during your stay in Egypt, it is a truly magical place!

Having to leave this place has broken my heart...

Khazfista is run by lovely people who are always ready to help (e.g. arranging transport to different sites). Communicating with Hisham in English was very easy. His family was also very patient and encouraging when I practised my basic Egyptian Arabic with them. Waking up to a delicious breakfast with garden views (and the company of a friendly cat) was always something to look forward to. Khazfista is very nicely located. It is very quiet, but still in a central location in Tunis Village.

Moderate and simple

Bathroom water was leaking and had to pay more for air conditioning.

I really liked this quiet, simple but comfortable and very friendly place. It's very small scale, only 3 rooms. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated, and have their own bathroom. At the front there are benches where you can have (an excellent!) breakfast. I especially liked the calm atmosphere, the big courtyard where the very friendly owner is working a bit in the garden. The hospitality of the whole family was heartwarming. I will certainly return to this place if I visit Tunis again!

no idea. I honestly could not find any downside to this place..

Cozy family home, nice hosting family, only with some missing things in the triple room. They were open to my suggestions and promised to address them for my upcoming stay. Overall, Tunis village is a secluded village and I liked it a lot.

liked the hotel so much because of the stuff. I really want to come here again because of the wonderful service

Staff very friendly and kind Room is clean You feel like home and with family

Mosquito are big problem in the area

We had a really lovely stay and received so much support from the family... from airport transfers, desert safari and a pottery session for my son... and playtime with the kids... a wonderful breakfast. all was lovely.

I love everything about the place. The room is super clean, the staff is so welcoming, the people are so nice & helpful.. Am really happy with the place & for sure i ‘ll be back again

You feel like you are among your family. Very helpful & friendly staff. Haj Mahmoud was amazing person. Clean & comfort room. Sure, I will book there again. ❤️❤️

We had a wonderful vaction in this hidden gem in Tunisia village.. khazafista .. the place that took us back to nature.. the rooms are very clean and tidy .. the atmosphere is very good and the home made breakfast was delicious.. We enjoyed every single moment of our vaction and above all the hospitality, generosity and kindness of the people their we felt that we are one big family .. what ever u ask for they will get it for u .. Don’t miss the Safari with the talented driver Islam.. and if you want to buy pottery don’t go outside.. Gehad shop is there.. she will make good offers and will teach your kids their first pottery lessons in her workshop.. Special thanks to the amazing Hisham, Hany and for sure the head of the family Haj Mahmoud and Haja Om Hany

Forgot our keys in the room’s door but Hany helped to unlock it.. No wardrobe but it was ok for short stay.. there are wire hangers Location is ok near the cafés and shops, no lake view though..

It is a quiet house. Very familiar and welcomy. There are only three guest rooms so not much movement of people. They have a pottery workshop in the garden and a shop with their creations. I did a small pottery class in the workshop. The artists don't speak English but you get to communicate 😊 Plenty of children from family around, which is nice if you are traveling with kids. My daughter played a lot with them. Breakfast is not included but it is cheap and I strongly recommend it. It is a good egiptian breakfast. Location is good. Near to the main road and ATMs. Gihed and Hany (the live out kids) speak good english and they manage the family communication. They are nice, helpful and cheerful. Please be aware that this is not a luxury hotel. Is a humble home that give all the welcome oasis egiptians are famous for.

No soap in the shower. Not a big deal but i would have liked to be alerted in advance

Lovely place run by a very welcoming family. It has 3 rooms looking over a garden with a pottery workshop. You can take pottery classes there which is what we did. Highly recommended. Quite place in tunis village!

I went with my family, first of all The location is amazing just two minutes away from all the attractions points in Tunis village, the rooms are great value against price ,clean and wide, the staff are super nice you will live the experience of being hosted by one big nice family they will help you in anything you would need during the trip ….. i recommend this stay for families and also groups …..

The beautiful room the family care the delicious breakfast

We came for a relaxing and authentic discovery and we all loved our stay! The atmosphere, the people... all was simple and so charming! It is in a quiet area and the family running the place can help you to get any you need/want. They were kind and helpful. We slept so good there and the food was delicious! True nutriments and taste! The tour they propose is really nice too! It does not feel like a tourist touring, but really like a discovery of the local treasures.

All liked it! Simple and with local flair!

All was fine.

Great hospitality and location. It's quiet and feels nice to stay with this lovely family while having all your privacy at the same time. Beautiful energy. Trips were perfectly organised and you can ask anything anytime. The pottery is amazing. We enjoyed a safari to wadi el Hitan and the Magic lake. We would stay here again. The rooms are looking even more cosy in real than from the pictures!

You're in nature so if you're sensitive to it, bring some (natural) mosquito repellant :)

All the place and the host family

Great and clean room like expected, nice breakfast and very helpful staff. They helped a lot and organised a tour with a jeep to Wadi al Hitan and Wadi al Rayyan. There is also very nice pottery course to try. Everything could be easily done in one day.

If you're looking for a more local experience, this family-run guesthouse with just three super-clean rooms and a garden of swaying sunflowers outside is perfect. It's peaceful, friendly and - major added bonus - there's an actual kettle in your room (a rarity in Egypt).

We liked the family that worked there. Super friendly, helpful and accommodating. They also have a cool store there that sells all there hand made pottery & artwork. Excellent value for money, and for sure will stay there again.

We had no issues - all good!

We loved our time there. It felt like staying with family! Hisham organized a great trip into the desert to go sand boarding and to visit the ancient whale skeletons. And we did pottery classes in the yard with his family members. It was a very sweet, welcoming and memorable experience.

It was very simple but sweet.

Friendly, honest staff who organised our transfers from and back to Cairo as well as a trip to Whale Valley/Wadi el Haitan. Accommodation is modest but as described and has all that was needed for our 2-night stay. Transitional breakfast is available at Khazfista and there are numerous restaurants in walking distance. We would happily stay at Khazfista again

Nothing

The staff was so helpful, kind, and gorgeous 😍 💖 the place is so great at the middle of everything you will do at the village 😀, clean ,neat ,for urban places the rooms are perfect the bath room clean , water for shower hot and cold i really recommended for Staying at tunis village

Very sweet nice place.

The accommodation is basic but excellent value, wonderful location if you want to be close to the lake and local crafts shops and restaurants. Even though we did not meet our host as we came in quite late and left before sunrise, he was very attentive and helpful over the phone and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The room even provided anti mosquito spray. Lovely homestay!
