How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewPeaceful, clean, great views - but don't stay here thinking that you'll have access to an incredible snorkelling reef. It's definitely not the case. In fact, if you've dived beautiful reefs elsewhere in the Red Sea, this one will be disappointing. There are lots of small shops within walking distance where you can buy food, but if you don't the area and are unsure where to go...a simple sketch with directions in the property will go a long way to help visitors. Friendly staff and a chilled place. But don't go there to dive.

Verified reviewWe had a really relaxing pleasant stay at Ras Katy Sunset Views. George who was our host was kind and helpful. The facilities were great especially the lovely pool. The place is convenient to shops and restaurants and the snorkeling at the beach in front of the property was fantastic
We had a small twin room.. it was the cheapest. When we go back we will take a bigger room as we didn't have enough space or a wardrobe..

Verified reviewThe location is excellent, close to Farsha Cafe and several beach clubs, with great restaurants nearby. It’s a safe and welcoming area, ideal for a relaxing stay. The staff, especially George, were incredibly respectful and friendly. He assisted me and my friend in finding secure transfers around Sharm El Sheikh and even lent us snorkeling gear free of charge. The swimming pool was a small oasis — very relaxing.
There is no direct beach access — the guesthouse sits atop Ras Katy cliff, which offers beautiful snorkeling views, though the path down is quite difficult and not suitable for everyone. The beach below is public, and unfortunately, petty thefts are common in the area. As for the pool, while it has a lovely ocean view, the backyard lacks any fencing, which means that strangers frequently pass by right in front of the pool and barbecue area. This made the space feel unsafe and not very private. I stayed in a room without a sea view, and it was extremely hot. The air conditioning wasn’t working, and we couldn’t open the window due to the mosquitoes, which made the stay quite uncomfortable. There was no breakfast provided, and there are no nearby supermarkets or cafés, so getting food in the morning was inconvenient. Considering the price we paid — equivalent to a 4-star hotel — I believe at least some complimentary items like fruit, juice, or yogurt should be offered, even if with a small extra fee.

Verified reviewSo clean. Lovely outside pool and gardens. A short walk down the cliff steps to the best snorkelling ever. 10 mins walk to Farsha cafe. We loved our time here xx
The air in just blew room temp air even on the coldest setting. The beds were clean but hard. But that was all.

Verified reviewIt’s hard not to like it, from the jaw dropping view, the staff, location. With access to a stunning private beach. My stay at Ras katy was indeed memorable, big up Hozain for his attention to detail and assistance.
The doors were a bit of a hassle, but manageable.

Verified reviewBeautiful and quiet location. Close to the beach, Wonderful views and sunsets. Quiet local neighbourhood. 100 meter from minimarket and local shops, 10 minutes walk from supermarket and restaurants. The only downside, it is far from Sharm Airport and Naama Bay, so you depend on your bargain skills to move around by taxi. But if you prefer a quiet place with local flavour, and do not mind not being in an all-inclusive resort, or shopping malls and clubs, this is the place for you.
Some noise from other rooms, guests shouting or slamming doors at night. Keep in mind there are no soundproof walls, but noise from other guests is not the property's fault. Maybe they could hang some signs at the main door, in the stairway, to remind people that nights should be quiet. Otherwise, bring earplugs and use patience. This was beginning of february, only 3 rooms occupied, I don't know in high season when the place is fully occupied, with guests using the pool at night or staying until late in the chillout area.

Verified reviewIf you want accommodation with enough facilities to look after yourself but also close to tons of food options this place is it! Amazing view, fantastic snorkelling a short stair filled wallk away. More in the local residential area so not a fake all inclusive vibe but close to restaurants and the amazing farsha cafe. Awesome on site property manager George. Insane view and nice clean, comfortable rooms.
Honestly nothing.

Verified reviewLocation excellent with views of sea and beautiful sunsets. Beach very close, with excellent snorkelling.
110 steps down to closest beach and access through a hole in fence as gate was padlocked. Steps were all different sizes and no handrails. Beach very quiet though, but no facilities such as sun beds etc. Ras Um El Sid beach 5 minutes walk away, which had hand rails and seats to rest at various stages on the steps and facilities on the beach.

Verified reviewThe view. Location was quiet. WIFI worked perfectly and the caretaker was extremely nice and helpful.
A door with a lock that works - almost impossible to get the key into the door. At one stage I ended up being locked out of my room. On the Booking website, it states that the accommodation has a private beach - this is not the case. The air conditionning was a disaster - a huge ancient unit loud as a plane taking off, even with the fan at the lowest setting. And worst of all the price; I paid nearly 120 $ per night (yes, per night) - a total rip-off given the standard of this accommodation; It cost me less to stay in a 5* resort, in a huge room overlooking the beach furnished to a high standard and all meals included.

Verified reviewA great find. It was a distance away from all the hubhub with its own pool and a 10 minute walk to a beach with great snorkelling. Room was a good size, shower was fine Shops/Markets for own food 5/10 minutes walk away with plenty of choice. 'Old Eygpt' Sharm is 5 mins in a cab 100-150 EgP is plenty enough for the the fare. Loads if shops and food choices. On site was the Manager who was around all the time in case.
Bed was really solid. Perhaps hadn't undertood the 'shared kitchen' message in the booking.com info (not that it was problem)

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful place and George (he is one of the housekeepers) was so kind and accommodating! The staff work hard to keep this lovely place pristine. It is a perfect location (very close to Farsha Mountain Lodge which is an amazing place to go at night and during the day) with groceries and everything you need a short walk away. The views of the seas from the pool area make this a relaxing and wonderful experience. Will definitely be back.
Everything was great!

Verified reviewThis place is really good for work holidays. There is a lot of seating outside, even multiple power sockets. There is a dedicated pool just for a few apartments. The beach is really close, and it's almost empty. And it is really calm there!
Only details. The kitchen itinerary could be improved: no sharp knives, etc. The AC is a little bit loud.
