Despite multiple emails reporting the issue, they remain unresponsive as the mold returns. The walls are riddled with cracks that were "repaired" once, yet the problem persists, and again, my emails have gone ignored.

From Google Reviewers

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.

The corridors lack air conditioning, only featuring ineffective "fresh air units" that provide no real relief. Additionally, their customer service is lacking. When it comes to contract renewals, they attempt to inflate prices well above the official RERA rates and charge a service fee that’s double the amount stated in the original contract, despite having no amenities like a pool or gym. Overall, the management's negligence and lack of transparency make living here frustrating. I would not recommend Dar Al Garhoud to anyone. (Photos available to document these issues.) Update they came and try to fix the issue it's still returned but i appreciate the effort. Entering the apt was never a problem and never denied, when we expressed our worry about the work having a small baby we were told not not worry that the work is quick and will take 2 days only.”
