Babel Apartments el gouna

Babel Apartments el gouna Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Babel Apartments el gouna, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a property without a star rating. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t need fancy classifications to prove their worth. Located right in the heart of El Gouna Downtown, this place has that authentic Egyptian charm that feels refreshingly real compared to some of the more touristy spots along the Red Sea coast.

Location & Getting Around

The location is actually brilliant — I mean, you’re literally in the center of El Gouna, which means everything is walkable. The marina, restaurants, shops, they’re all just a few minutes away on foot. What really impressed me was the free parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend in this area where finding a decent spot can be a real headache. Recent guests have been rating the location at 9.3, and after spending time here, I totally get why.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment feels like you’re staying in someone’s well-appointed home rather than a generic accommodation. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with proper living areas, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much natural light floods in during the day. You’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, whether you’re here for a few nights or planning a longer visit to explore the Red Sea region.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing about Babel Apartments — it strikes this perfect balance between being local and accessible. The staff genuinely care about making your stay memorable, and they know El Gouna inside and out. I found myself getting insider tips about the best times to visit certain beaches and which local spots serve the freshest seafood. The property maintains that intimate feel where you’re not just another guest number, which is refreshing in a resort town that can sometimes feel overly commercialized.

Why Couples Love It

It’s no surprise that couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about El Gouna’s lagoons and desert backdrop, and Babel Apartments captures that vibe perfectly. The apartments offer enough space to spread out and relax together without feeling cramped, and being in the downtown area means you can easily stroll to waterfront restaurants for dinner or catch a sunset by the marina. With that impressive 9.7 rating, it’s clear that guests are leaving genuinely happy with their experience here.

Reviews of Babel Apartments el gouna

• Jeffrey from Netherlands – 13 March 2024 (10/10)

  We had a very nice time at this appartment. The vieuw was great, the accomodation was very good and the communication with Amira was good, we appreciated that. If we had any questions, we got an answer very quickly. When you walk from the appartment to the road, you can get a tuk tuk to downtown very easily. But walking to downtown is also an option, if you don't mind walking. The pool was great, bathroom, shower and toilet were good and everything was very clean. I would definately recommend this apartment on the west coast.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all. We stayed at several appartments this holliday, and some had a bottle of water when we arrived, which was convenient, especialy when you come from the airport at night and all the shops are closed. This would be the only recommandation I could give to the owner.

• Reem from Norway – 30 April 2023 (10/10)

  Absolutely fantastic. There was everything we could expect and more. The apartment is furnished in very good taste. The host provided us with excellent, clear information and in a personal and friendly tone plus was quick to respond to our questions. On the table in the kitchen there was a brochure about the apartment and in the entrance there were tourist brochures in English, Swedish and German , Solid accommodation, I would love to come back.

• Rania from United Arab Emirates – 29 April 2023 (10/10)

  The accommodation is very amazing, the place and the location are excellent, and very close to all services.  I thank the staff for their hospitality and follow-up from the time of booking until check-out. I wish I could stay more than that, but I was obliged to book a flight at 12 noon. I hope to stay in such a place again.  I recommend this property and this site in general to all booking clients because of its reliability and good treatment, and the place is very clean, and the entire apartment is clean, and the furniture is new and in fashion, as well as the honesty and good treatment of the owner of the property. Thank you very much to Booking. for choosing this site and this property. Thank you very much to the entire staff

• Alexander from Austria – 28 April 2023 (3/10)

  Die Vermieter sind sehr bemüht leider funktioniert die Kommunikation nur übers Internet welches für Europäer sehr teuer sein kann. Nach den Check in funktioniert das Welan.
  
  What could be improved: Das Appartement ist nicht dort wo angegeben sondern 20 min Fußmarsch entfernt. Der tatsächliche Standort ist West Golf Y9.010 Fast alle Bilder ( außer 27,28,29.30) sind nicht von dieser Unterkunft. Leider war es auch schmutzig. Die Dusche, die Küche waren …….

• Mike from Germany – 26 April 2023 (10/10)

  Die Lage ist perfekt an der marina,super zu erreichen, alles hat reibungslos funktioniert und die Ausstattung ist top

• Ahmad from Kuwait – 25 April 2023 (1/10)

  Nothing!! Misleading location!
  
  What could be improved: First of all this property has a fake location,
  the location on booking map shows that it is on a beach/lagoon, in reality it is in a residential compound in the dessert!!
  
  The overall experience with the property agent was so unprofessional, unethical and misleading.
  
  When the agent contacted me, they mentioned that the property on booking has a general location, which is El-gouna downtown, in reality it is G-Cribs a totally different area. On booking nothing was mentioned about the real location or how far from downtown.
  
  I refused to take the place, since on booking.com’s map, it shows a different location, so i requested to cancel the booking and be refunded due to incorrect information and location from their side, they refused the refund and took the money without even showing up.
  
  A complain was raised to booking.com customer service and nothing was done.
  
  So disappointing, never again, the lesson is learned!
  
  موقع الوحدة غير مطابق للمعلن عنه في الموقع.
  الوحدة على موقع booking على اللاجون او البحر! في الواقع الوحدة موجودة في كومبوند سكني فالصحراء، بعيدة عن وسط البلد 16 – 20 دقيقة فالسيارة حسب الزحمة.
  
  رفضت استلام الوحدة بسبب الموقع الغير صحيح، وطلب إلغاء الحجز ورد المبلغ، لم يتم رد المبلغ ولم يتم عمل اي ردة فعل من خدمة العملاء.
  
  تجربة سيئة جداً.
