Each card is a real, public Google review of this residence, sorted into our ten questions – answered only where the reviewer said something, and marked “Not answered” where they didn’t. Reviews written in other languages are shown in English and labelled. These come from Google, not from verified residents, so they count for only a small part of the HT Score, never as much as a real resident review.

“One of the worst buildings to live in JVC. A lot of issues in the building (hot water, AC, insects, etc.), and the management team is the worst. They will try to increase rent price every single year without complying with RERA regulations, I took legal action twice because of this and won in both cases. I left the building 1 year ago and they still didn’t pay the security deposit even though I returned the apartment to its original condition, so I still have legal disputes with them.
Stay away from this building.”

“My experience with the management of this building has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Communication is poor, issues are not handled properly, and the overall experience has been frustrating. In particular, Dianna, who appears to be managing the team under the owner, has been consistently disrespectful in the way she communicates with us. We canceled our agreement twice because of these interactions. After meeting with the owner and receiving promises that things would improve, we decided to sign again, but unfortunately nothing has changed. In our experience, many of the staff members specially the maintenance people have also been unprofessional and have made us feel unwelcome, as if we were living here for free rather than paying tenants. Living here has truly become a regret for us.”

“Simply: Stay away no matter how you like the property.
Worst management EVER.
Rude team: Property management, security, cleaning team.
No empathy no caring about their residents.
Imagine locking my car cause I parked indoor, and I am only allowed for 1 parking slot. It’s just my 2nd week in the apartment and I am still settling in. They said either pay 4K aed or move it out.
I called the security to remove it and he said he will only unlock it when he decides to.
Most importantly, expect that dealing with their supervisor DIANA is even worse. She knows nothing about customer service.
I regret renting here every day.”

“Lived here 5 years. Over the years, rent has increased and the management demands rent increases by more than what is allowed by RERA. Annually we have to go through the stress of negotiating with management on rent. They will add additional costs here and there to take the most out of tenants “additional charge for improved maintenance”.
Speaking of maintenance — i joke with my partner that in this building you cannot expect hot water in winter and cool AC in the summer. And it’s true, it’s been 3 weeks with no hot water. And miraculously today, the AC isn’t cooling.
If you’re looking for a place and stumble across this gem, I recommend you look elsewhere — you’ll find much better in the neighborhood.
Note: The AC bills are ridiculous for the lack of cooling. For a 2 bedroom, budget for 1-1.5K per month with no guarantee of cooling!
Update: the building is currently renting units AirB&B or shared living spaces/partition units. It is no longer a family friendly building.”

“Warning: Absolutely catastrophic building! Stay away!
The maintenance team is completely incompetent – they have no idea what they're doing. When you urgently need help, they don't show up for 1–2 weeks. Hot water doesn't work, the entire building stinks, and the "technicians" who are supposed to fix the problems are a nightmare. Honestly, my child could do a better job.
Water is pouring from the ceilings – not just at our place, but also at the neighbors'. Everyone is complaining. I thought the rent would justify the price – but it's not even worth half. Living in Deira would be better than in this eyesore of a building.
My advice: Stay away, look out for yourselves!”
