Check before you book

  • Pool: private or shared, heated in winter (the Red Sea is cool from December to February), and who maintains it. Also ask about access to restaurants and shops: most villas are far from a supermarket.
  • Total: nightly rate, cleaning, tourist tax and deposit. Compare the total for the same dates, not the headline price.
  • Cancellation: free or non-refundable, and the deadline.
  • Keys and arrival: who hands over the keys, at what time, and a contact reachable on the day.
  • Recent reviews: read the last twelve months and look at guests' photos.
