Wonjoon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed it overall.

I knew the property was kind of dated going in, but I wanted the 90’s Arabic feeling so I was ok with it. Their self proclaimed 7 star status is maybe as dated as the bathrooms though. The wear and tear on carpets, exposed electric wiring on the way to the pool and buckling trex decking on the pool edge makes it feel less than a 5 star, especially for the price. The staff was very friendly, the pool area is really nice and beach is a short golf cart ride away with calm beautiful water and a striking view of the hotel, so overall, I do recommend staying here.

We had a super relaxing stay. We were looked after superbly by all staff bar one. She barge in the lift and went up despite our lift travelling downwards. The hotel is now 20 years old and shows in some places but this did not detract from the opulence and service with a smile. The bedding and bed was pure luxury. Looking forward to returning!

Ammar, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I visit Dubai every year, and no hotel comes close to the Burj Al Arab. Even after 24 years, the service remains on an exceptional level of luxury and professionalism. From the moment we arrived, the welcome – especially for my children – was incredibly warm and professional. It’s rare to experience such genuine hospitality these days. The check-in was smooth, elegant, and made us feel like VIPs right away. The facilities are out of this world: the water park, swimming pool, and especially the butler service – everything is extravagant and beautifully managed. Every detail is taken care of with the highest standards. For me, the Burj Al Arab is and will always be the best hotel in the world. I will continue to reserve here every time I come to Dubai. Highly recommended for anyone seeking the ultimate luxury experience!

10/10 Exceptional

A Return After 20 Years

My wife and I first stayed at the Burj Al Arab in July 2006. Back then, it was without question the most impressive hotel in the world, from the iconic sail, shaped design to the luxurious interior, unmatched service, and thoughtful in-room souvenirs. One of the highlights was the personalized attention: we had a butler on our floor available at all times, and staff were stationed throughout the hotel, offering dates and assistance with a genuine sense of hospitality. It felt like every detail was curated to make you feel like royalty. Returning nearly 20 years later, our experience was still pleasant, but the magic wasn’t quite the same. While the hotel remains architecturally stunning and the service is still high by most standards, it now feels like it needs a refresh , both in design and service dynamics. The interiors haven’t evolved much and now appear a bit dated, especially compared to other modern luxury hotels around the world. Small service details fell short: for instance, we planned to visit the Sky Bar but found it closed, and the alternative bar closed just minutes after we arrived, something that would never have happened back in 2006. To be clear, the Burj Al Arab still offers an exceptional experience, but it no longer feels like the best hotel in the world , at least not in the way it once did. For those who’ve never been, it will still dazzle. For those returning with memories of its golden era, it may feel like it’s time for a new chapter in its legacy
