For guests

Before you pack

Is there beach access?

All beaches in El Gouna are private and subject to an entry fee and a minimum consumption policy. Plenty of our properties provide free beach access where only a minimum consumption applies. Feel free to ask our team which homes include beach access. We will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Are mixed groups allowed?

Mixed groups are sometimes permitted in El Gouna, but approval depends on the property and the current community regulations. There is no single rule that applies to every property, and in some cases a marriage certificate may be requested. We will always let you know what is required for your specific stay.

How do El Gouna permits work?

Some properties and communities in El Gouna require guest permits or registration. Our team takes care of the process and will guide you through everything needed before your arrival. We simply ask you to provide the required guest information and documents on time.

What is the check in and check out policy?

Standard check in is from 3:00 in the afternoon, and check out is by 12:00 noon. Early check in or late check out may be possible depending on the home and the day. Just let us know your travel plans and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Can I rent a bike?

Absolutely! Bicycles are one of the best ways to explore El Gouna. We can help arrange bike rentals and have them delivered to your property. Just tell us a little in advance so we have time to set everything up.

What is the pet policy?

Pet policies vary depending on the property and its community regulations. Some of our homes welcome pets, while others do not allow them. Please check the individual listing or contact us before booking so we can confirm.

Does my nanny or driver need a permit?

Yes. Anyone over 15 years of age is required to have a permit, and that includes nannies and drivers. Send us their details and we will guide you through the process.

Can we swim in burkinis?

Yes. Burkinis are generally accepted at El Gouna beaches and pools, provided they are made from appropriate swimwear material. Some private pools or beach clubs may have their own specific rules, so we recommend checking with us before visiting.

Do you provide airport pickup?

Yes! We can arrange a private airport transfer from Hurghada International Airport directly to your property in El Gouna. Just send us your flight details and we'll take care of the rest.

How can I get around El Gouna?

Getting around El Gouna is easy. You can use tuk tuks, taxis, bicycles, electric bikes or rental cars, depending on your preference. We can also help arrange transportation and recommend the best option for your stay.

Which booking platforms do you use?

We market properties across leading booking platforms, including Airbnb, Booking.com and other relevant channels. Our goal is to give your property maximum exposure while keeping reservations efficiently managed on every channel.

Do I need to do anything once Nest In manages my property?

Not much. That's the point. We handle the daily operation of your property, including guest communication, check in and check out, cleaning, maintenance and operational issues. You can stay involved as much or as little as you prefer.

Who looks after my property?

Your property is looked after by our dedicated local team in El Gouna. From housekeeping and maintenance to guest support, we have people on the ground who know the property and can respond quickly when needed.

How do you look after the property between guests?

Every stay is followed by a professional cleaning and inspection. We check the property, replenish essentials when required and make sure everything is ready for the next guest. Our goal is simple: to keep your home in excellent condition and, whenever possible, leave it better than we found it.

Can I use my property myself?

Of course. Owners can use their properties whenever they wish, around existing guest bookings and any agreed arrangements. We simply coordinate your personal stays with guest reservations.

Can I see how my property is performing?

We don't see ourselves simply as a property management company. We are hosts ourselves, and we understand what owners expect from someone looking after their home. We also understand what guests expect from a great stay. We combine professional management with genuine care, local knowledge and a personal touch.
