- Alexandre (10/5): Definitely recommending it and I will be back ! - I used to own a camp at the black see and I can tell you that the owner of the camp really knows his stuff.
He thought about everything related to camping/Glamping.
It was a very nice and pleasant stay. I definitely recommend it.
Food: Perfect
location: The best from this whole area
- Nathalie (7/5): Expérience à vivre… mais je conseillerais plutôt les autres hôtels mieux entretenus et avec moins de mouches - Emplacement incroyable. Une expérience très chouette de dormir sous la tente, mais… Quel dommage : Le site n’est pas bien entretenu, il y a des déchets qui traînent, c’est infesté de mouches.
Nous avions réservé 2 tentes twin et nous nous sommes retrouvés avec 1 grand lit et la 2e tente n’était qu’en 2e ligne… ils n’ont pas voulu nous changer la tente alors que la plupart des tentes étaient vides
- Estibaliz (10/5): Gran escapada relax - Todo Muy lentos concitando

Széles étel és ital kinalat Àrak picit dràgák. Étel ital

It attracts a beautiful crowd and the staff are great l.
Spent a few peaceful days and would have loved to stay longer Shower and bathrooms are a bit rundown but were still usable
- Eva (10/5): Totally zen - Beautiful place, perfect to relax and enjoy nature. Comfortable tents with a stunning view of the sunrise. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Extra pro: cuddling with the dogs! The wifi is only working in the main areas, not in the tent. I didnt mind it because i wanted to disconnect but something to keep in mind
- Monika (10/5): -
- Mohamed (9/5): - Amazing setup and a great food from a professional chef. Location is great so you get access to different views of the lagoon. Place is equipped to make you have a great time. Totally recommended.

- Dhanushh (10/5): Excellent -
- Dustin (10/5): Excellent - Peace and tranquility. Nothing
- Pons (8/5): - Emplacement de dingue ! Confort "spartiate"
Wi-fi ne fonctionnant pas.
- Simone (6/5): If you look for a minimum service then there are much better places for a better costs. If you look for a hippy experien - The location is absolutely amazing. Price is not worth for more than one day. There are no services. No electricity (just in some common aerea). Mattress was smelly. Cats and dogs where people are sitting, than piling and then coming back where people are sitting. Food very expansive and no prices on the menu (seems like they charge on their preference).

- Alice (7/5): Acceptable - The position of the camp I believe is the best among all the other camps around. You have the lagoon on your right and the open sea at your left, therefore the colours and the panorama are amazing, 100 out of 10. The guys cook delicious food and, although other reviews say it is overpriced, knowing Blue Lagoon I can tell it is not easy to find a camp with a good kitchen over there, so it is pretty normal they make you pay for it. We paid more or less 90$ for a dinner of four people, beers and water. I think many of the previous reviewers may have been influenced by the beauty of the location, which is indeed wonderful. That said, there are still several aspects of the camp that would need improvement in order to truly deserve a 9.4 on Booking. Of course, this is a camp and not a 5-star resort, but some basic services should always be guaranteed. For example, the shower head in the common bathroom was not distributing enough water to wash properly, it was basically leaking a few drops. The huts themselves are very small for two people and give the impression of having been built just to have a roof on your head. WiFi was not working at all, so it’s good to be aware that you’ll likely be disconnected during your stay.
Regarding staff, they were not rude, but their approach felt quite relaxed, almost as if they were on holiday themselves. I appreciate the “Dahab mood,” but we had to wait 30 minutes under the sun for our hut to be ready, despite having informed them of our arrival time. The person preparing the huts had just come out of the sea, which didn’t give the impression of great organization.
The common areas also need more attention: food and drinks weren’t served at tables, and the carpeted lounge area was noticeably dirty. It would make a big difference if the carpets were shaken out regularly. Dishes and glasses from breakfast were still on the tables at lunchtime, and lunch dishes stayed there until the afternoon, while staff seemed more focused on playing music rather than on tidying up.
Overall, the place has potential and the atmosphere is relaxed, but I think the team should reflect on what kind of service they want to provide. Guests don’t expect luxury, but they do expect the basics and to feel they are getting fair value for what they pay.

- Dina (8/5): Beautiful place to disconnect - It was such a beautiful experience to wake up in front of the sea. Also, the presence of the lagoon right behind it gave us the opportunity to do a kitesurfing lesson. It was amazing. The room itself was very simple, which is fine. What wasnt, was the fact that we found some trash at the side of the tent.
Also didnt like the fact that there wasnt many options for food there.
- Mai (10/5): It was magical time being in Blue Lagoon (my paradise sanctuary and favorite place in the world) but the weather was too - The food was amazing, the quality, the location, the staff, the dogs and the decor. It is great to see high quality camp in blue lagoon tbh It is a little bit pricey and would appreciate cheaper options for food or discounts especially for longer stay residents.

- Hazem (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stjepan (10/5): Exceptional - Very very special place to stay. This is a place for those seeking peace and offline freedom. Food they serve is simple yet delicious. The staff is warm and friendly and I guarantee you will leave this place grounded and with lots of friends. The surrounding beach area is stunning and the colours of the Red Sea is just beautiful. Will be back! Point of improvement would be: to have some kind of lighting in the bedrooms, reliable music at the restaurant and towels service.
- Muhammad (10/5): Perfect location for lovers, might get boring if you’re friends so make sure to get creative - Staff is so friendly
- Samy (9/5): Superb -
- Santiago (10/5): 2 of the most relaxed days ever! - Amazing place for relaxing some days in the middle of the lagoon. Easy to get there, and they answer anything by the booking chat. 100% reccomended!
- Anya (2/5): Very poor - Breakfast is included but not Cafe or Te. There is not any privacy, toilet is in the middle of the Camp, food is expensive, there is not light in your tent so you have to ask for it and also not any small night table.
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - outstanding stay. wish we could have stayed longer. from the delicious food, clear turquoise water and great staff.. this spot is hard to beat.
- Haya (10/5): Exceptional - Best camp in blue lagoon by far. Excellent service, staff, food, cleanliness and vibes. Loved everything about it, would highly recommend it. Nothing
- Laines (10/5): Great place to relax and enjoy the sea - The staff was amazing, the food was superb and the best I had in Egypt. The location is amazing, so beautiful and comfy in every corner. I needed a few days off and this was the perfect place to relax, chill and enjoy the sea. The facilities were always clean and the bed was very comfortable. All in all a perfect stay. The only thing that was not perfect was the transfer. The pricing is a bit vague… I paid 400 LE from Dahab to Abu Galum and 300LE to Gabila by car. Backwards the price was 2000LE from Gabila to Dahab by boat. The boat guys told me that’s the price for the whole boat, so when others joined me to drive back I was sure that we’ll split the price because that was written in a message as well. We did that and the taxi driver asked me how much I paid - I said 500LE (because we’ve split the price). He was not happy and a bit angry about that but drove me to the bus station. 20 minutes later the guy who was with me on the boat came to that bus station and said he paid 500LE more for me (so 1000LE in total) and he wants that money back… He said nothing to me while we were driving together in the car, so I actually think that’s a made up story. He said to me that I have to pay more because I reserved the boat… That makes absolutely no sense at all, because THEY joined ME and I have to pay the full price for one boat?! We all used the boat so a fair split should be the way to handle this. Driving to the far away bus station to squeeze money is really another level of naughtiness… As I have residency in Egypt I am pretty sure that was another ripp off and there are different prices for locals and foreigners which I can’t stand anymore. Feeling ripped off is the worst feeling someone can have after he finished a beautiful vacation. I hope someday everyone in this country will understand, that they will earn the same if not more when the guest feel safe and valued and not pressured and squeezed. But anyway, I don’t blame the guys at Gabila they were always very nice and generous.
- Marianne (8/5): Great experience for those who want to disconnect! - The place is a piece of heaven, staff super friendly, views are impressive, away from any distractions, helps with staying disconnected and connected with nature and oneself! Would definitely come again You have to prepare how you will reach to the camp, the camp sent me guidelines, but I was somehow lost how should I find these options. There are no options for eating there except their restaurant, so prepare yourself to pay more for lunch and/or dinner.
- Eelco (9/5): Superb -
- Elias (8/5): Very good -
- Russell (10/5): Beyond words. Amazing….gonna be my secret retreat! - This is simply a hidden paradise on a whole new level. Everything was perfect. The views the bed the FOOD! Yes it is considered very expensive food for Egypt but also you must factor the logistics in crossing from blue hole to blue lagoon, having said that it could still be cheaper haha! But nonetheless this is such a special place, wonderful staff as well Nothing
- Simona (9/5): Paradise discovery - A little corner of paradise. In the best part of the lagoon there is a special place where you sleep under a blanket of stars just a step away from the sea. A spiritual and eclectic place full of great musics and vibes! None
- Sherif (9/5): Incredible location and great staff. Abdelrahman, Mahmoud, Khaled and Chef Amr were fantastic hosts and the food was gre -
- Sayed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sayed (10/5): If your looking for class at the lagoon it’s at gabila <3 - It’s a place like non before Absolutely nothing
- Oyvind (10/5): Exceptional -
- Omar (8/5): Very good - The staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodation was super comfortable and location is breathtaking. The best on the island. You feel like you’re in another world from how beautiful and serene it is. The lunch and dinner options were extremely expensive. Like Italy prices. I preferred to eat at the other camps with authentic Bedouin food. Also, the warm shower and Wi-Fi didn’t work at Gabila.
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ali (10/5): Amazing experience - The staff ( Mahmoud ) , The food, The location, The vibes, The owner Noha and Mazn .. they are so friendly with amazing spirit ❤️
ole the dog , togo the puppy, The hut

- Khaled (9/5): A hidden gem in the magical shores of Blue Lagon - The place and the atmosphere are unique 🛖,
The staff is friendly and helpful , a delicious food awaits you for dinner.
Glady I found a cocoon that I can retreat to.
- Gildemuro (10/5): Leaving the city - if you are looking for a place to unwind from the stress of a life full of deadlines. this is the place for you. Lay down, drink tea, swim in the most beautiful sea and watch how the colours of the mountains and the sea change through the day. Beautiful staff and beautiful people sharing the moment
- Sherif (10/5): Recommend for anyone who wants to take a break from life in an exclusive environment - Very peaceful vibe, on the tip of the lagoon and the sea No network or very weak
- Sofia (9/5): Superb - The place is absolutely stunning. Locatel in paradise. The perfect relax and unwind. We loved loved our stay there The only rule they have is that you have to eat your meals with them. Yet the prices there are SUPER expensive. We spent in two meals what we would spend in 3 days in Egypt. That was not good and they even never showed us the menu with prices, they only told us the available dishes.
- Reham (10/5): Exceptional - Best Chief, the food is amazing
Perfect location, always windy and refreshing
Friendly staff Toilet is one for both gender
