“In general, the building is nice, and I have been living here for the past four years. However, I am very disappointed with the parking situation since Wasl assigned the parking management to a third-party company last year.
Now, for any parking-related issue, tenants are required to deal with an external company instead of Wasl directly. In addition, if I want to add an extra parking slot, I am being asked to pay AED 700 per month or AED 9,000 per year, which I find extremely unreasonable.
Before renewing my contract, I tried several times to contact Wasl to ask about renting an additional parking space. Unfortunately, every time I called, I was transferred between customer service employ…”

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.

Before renewing my contract, I tried several times to contact Wasl to ask about renting an additional parking space. Unfortunately, every time I called, I was transferred between customer service employees and kept on hold for more than 15 minutes, without receiving a clear answer. On my last call, I was advised to send an email through the application, but the reply I received was very short and did not address my concern properly.
To make matters worse, Parkin frequently deducts money from my Salik account because one of their cameras fails to correctly recognize the sport plate of my car. Despite this being a system issue on their side, I am the one who has to deal with the inconvenience and unnecessary charges, which is extremely frustrating.
After living in the building for four years, I expected better communication and support, especially regarding such an important matter before contract renewal. This experience has been very disappointing and frustrating.”

“Positive rating: Spacious apartment.
Negative rating: Bad smell in the whole building which is coming into the apartment, maintenance team is unable to fix any issues including basic water leakage issues, security team is rude and customer service is helpless.
Overall, my life has been miserable since I moved with Wasl and Wasl team is not eager to fix any issue.”

“Its one of the newly build apartment complex owned by Wasl, this building still not occupied fully, there are 1bedroom, 2 bedroom & 3 bedroom apartments, parking is convenient, visitors parking is infront. There is a RTA bus stop right infront of the main entrance. Security level now great than what it used to be. Both day and night security people are very helpful to the residents and polite.
From the beginning of 2021 shops being opened in the ground floor. There is a Grandiose supermarket at the ground floor as well as Nesto Hypermarket 100m away. Compared to the other residencies in the area Wasal is far ahead in Every aspect. Every inquiry is being managed by the wasal app.”

“Horrible neighbours. And wasl does nothing about it! This to me is very surprising as their service with customer complaints is usually good. But this time we are highly disappointed. If you are looking to move here, please don't!”

“Very courteous staff. We just moved in. Clean and well kept apartment complex with very good facilities especially the park for children and an on call service team. Sanjay from Security and Sam from Maintenance have been very supportive in helping us settle into our new home.”
