    The house had a dining area, sofa, living room. Good location to snorkel but lots of stairs down (and then back up)

    Nothing

    Peaceful, 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.

    We 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..

    The 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.

    So 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.

    It’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.

    Beautiful 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.

    If 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.

    The staff is very helpful and the location is great. It really has beautiful sunset views and a nice beach is close to the hotel where you can snorkel.

    The facilities are quite standard and not everything works 100% well.

    Location 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.

    The 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.

    A 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)

    This 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!

    This 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.

    Great view. Great location. Big room. There were a great pool and also place where you can chill outside.

    The bed was unconfrtable. There were a hole in a mattress and it was not great to have it. The airconditionar was really loud but worked. The wi-fi more or less worked.
