Rayhana Guest House

Really beautiful and clean rooms, the shower head was a little low but it had good hot water, there is a beautiful sitting area at the back and the staff are all lovely and the breakfast is delicious and they accommodated my vegan requests.

Nothing to dislike, everyone was nice and the owner helped me with some natural remedies to help me feel better which was very kind. The only thing I’d say is the items for sale are very expensive, for example a large water is 50LE, that’s 5 times the price of what it should be, this is just taking advantage of tourists not knowing the price. My advice would be to walk to the shop and buy your own water because that’s too much personally as the shop will charge you 10LE. Other than this I would recommend.

Rayhana is not just a guesthouse or a hotel , it’s a place where you truly feel at home. Let’s start with the staff: I loved how caring and welcoming they are. They are always ready to listen to your needs and make sure you are happy with your stay ,but it doesn’t stop there. You can always enjoy a great chat with them as if you were among friends, because that’s exactly what they will become if you stay long enough. The place itself is wonderful. My room was airy, bright, cosy, spacious, and very clean. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially because the sun rises directly over the sea . There’s nothing better than seeing that first thing in the morning. I also loved the outdoor space, where I could sit and work on my laptop or simply relax after an intense day under the sun and snorkelling. There’s a great fish restaurant just a 5-minute walk away where you can enjoy fresh seafood, and Marsa Alam town is just a 15-minute walk. The location is perfect , far enough from the bustle of town to feel peaceful, but close enough if you need to get there. It’s also very easy for taxis or tour operators to reach. There’s good Wi-Fi available in the common areas and a great rooftop where you can chill and enjoy the view. A special thank you to Mahmoud and Shahenda for making my stay so memorable. If I ever come back to Marsa Alam, this will definitely be my place to stay.

I would suggest adding a small fridge in the room to keep personal items fresh. However, guests can always use the shared kitchen fridge, which works perfectly well

The breakfast was fulfilling; thanks for providing it since I had a morning dive and I would've gone starving if it wasn't the breakfast. Staff, the owner was all super friendly and supportive. Water was warm enough and the airconditioner was also nice to have in the room. The place have bikes that you can borrow and go to the near beach to snorkel which is nice.

I could tell that the room and furniture was newly established because the room had that specific scent where it smells inside a newly built place. Kinda gave me a headache so I tried to circulate the room air by leaving both front and back door opened. Also, when you first open the faucet, rusty water comes out then clean(which I hope so) water flows out. Wifi was weak.

Clean rooms and good air conditioning. Besides, bedroom is big enough.

It is dangerous to walk around the guesthouse and for women is hazardous being on the beach too. There is no wifi in the rooms. Diving and snorkellin are very expensive (You have to pay always in euros) and there is no other options. We contracted a taxi for Hurghada with the cost of 70€ and on the road they try to charge 90€. In Booking, they show a diving cost of 70€ but the night before they try to charge 80€. There are no shops around the guesthouse and you have to pay them very expensive food and water. We were there 5 days and there was always the same breakfast.
