“Do not waste your money on this building. Very Disappointing Experience – I Would Not Recommend This Building
From a tenant’s perspective, this has been one of the worst buildings I have ever lived in.
The caretakers and maintenance staff are rude, unprofessional, and do not treat residents with respect. Maintenance requests are almost never resolved on the first call. You have to make countless follow-up calls just to get someone to take action, and even then, the repairs are often delayed or incomplete.

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.

“Do not waste your money on this building. Very Disappointing Experience – I Would Not Recommend This Building
From a tenant’s perspective, this has been one of the worst buildings I have ever lived in.
The caretakers and maintenance staff are rude, unprofessional, and do not treat residents with respect. Maintenance requests are almost never resolved on the first call. You have to make countless follow-up calls just to get someone to take action, and even then, the repairs are often delayed or incomplete.
The management is even worse. Instead of listening to tenants’ concerns and improving their services, they appear to retaliate against residents who complain. If you raise even one legitimate complaint, they may refuse to renew your tenancy. This is highly unprofessional and creates an environment where tenants are afraid to report problems.
Another major issue is the extremely high DEWA bills. Even with normal usage, the electricity and water charges are unusually high. It makes me question whether there are leaks or other unresolved issues within the building causing excessive consumption.
On top of that, many facilities and fixtures throughout the building are broken or poorly maintained. It is clear that proper maintenance and tenant satisfaction are not priorities.
Overall, the management’s attitude, poor maintenance, lack of professionalism, and apparent retaliation against tenants make this a building I would never recommend. Future tenants should think carefully before choosing to live here.
If i can put zero star i will.”

“AC in the gym is not working for the past few months now! When I call the responsible contact to fix this his response is only “send your complain to real estate” or complain as much as you want it will not be fixed.
The temperature inside of the gym you can’t even bare! Please management send someone to fix it as this is part of your amenities that all your tenants are paying for! Hope the management can fixed this issue ASAP!”

“We are extremely disappointed with the management and especially the caretaker of this building. The caretaker’s behavior is completely unacceptable. He is rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks basic communication and people-handling skills. He does not know how to deal with tenants respectfully, and his attitude is consistently disrespectful.
What makes the situation worse is that the management sends all important information through the caretaker. However, he does not take this responsibility seriously and often fails to pass messages properly or clearly. Because of this, tenants are left confused, misinformed, or completely unaware of important updates. This shows a serious lack of organization and professionalism.
The management is also highly uncooperative. They show concern and responsiveness only until the rent is paid. After that, the way they treat tenants changes completely. There is no proper support, no accountability, and no genuine customer service.
Anyone considering buying or renting an apartment in this building should seriously think twice and take these issues into account. The overall management standard is poor, communication is unreliable, and the caretaker’s behavior is extremely disappointing most of the time.”

“I am sawa. When I lived in bachelor apartment 311 at SBK Pink Building, I didn't have access to the gym or swimming pool, and Nawas did not permit their use at that time. However, now that I have moved into a family apartment in the same building, I have full access to the gym, pool, and all other facilities. The building is now very clean, and everything is well-organized. I am happy with the current support and the improved facilities”

“Very disappointing experience with both the caretaker and the management of SBK Building.
On several occasions, we called the caretaker for assistance and received no response. When we went to locate him in person, he was outside watching videos on his phone and smoking instead of addressing residents’ concerns. This is how reckless and disappointing they're.
Unfortunately, this lack of responsiveness appears to reflect the overall management as well. Issues are not handled with urgency, and communication is poor.
Prospective tenants should carefully consider this before signing a contract. Reliable building management is essential for safety and peace of mind, and that has not been our experience here.
I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and improves its standards.”
