1/5 Hunter R. 8 years ago on Google
I
was
arriving
by
car
so
I
was
told
to
arrive
Al
Fahidi
Fort
and
someone
would
meet
me
and
show
me
where
to
park.
Upon
arriving
there
and
calling,
they
then
told
me
they
wanted
me
to
meet
them
at
another
location.
Not
being
from
Dubai,
the
directions
weren't
very
clear
so
after
20
minutes
of
driving
and
another
phone
call
I
finally
found
the
second
location.
Then
when
I
called
the
guy
said,
"Okay,
I'll
leave
to
meet
you
now
and
will
be
there
in
15
minutes,"
which
I
thought
was
quite
rude,
that
he
didn't
head
to
meet
me
while
I
was
driving
to
the
second
location.
It
actually
took
him
25
minutes
to
get
there.
So
45
minutes
after
I
arrived
at
the
first
location,
the
guy
finally
met
me.
We
got
parked
and
I
realized
we
weren't
very
close
to
the
hostel.
I
commented
on
that
and
he
said
he
was
actually
taking
me
to
a
different
hostel
because
that
was
where
he
was
staying
and
he
didn't
want
to
take
me
back
to
the
advertised
one
that
I
booked.
I
found
that
pretty
shady.
We
arrived
at
the
hostel
and
I
walked
into
the
dorm
room
and
it
was
a
mess
and
smelled
bad.
Also,
it
was
advertised
to
have
A/C
and
while
the
dorm
room
did,
the
rest
of
the
hostel
didn't.
So
the
bathroom
and
kitchen
were
extremely
hot
as
it's
summer.
I've
stayed
in
dozens
of
hostels
in
several
countries
and
this
was
by
far
my
worst
experience.
I
had
to
wait
45
minutes
to
be
met,
was
taken
to
a
different
hostel
than
I
booked
and
wouldn't
have
been
told
if
I
hadn't
questioned
it,
and
the
hostel
I
was
taken
to
(BackPacker
Hostel)
was
the
messiest
and
smelliest
I've
ever
stayed
in.
I
definitely
wouldn't
stay
at
Easy
Flat
Hostel
or
BackPacker
Hostel
again.
Also,
interesting
to
note,
both
of
these
hostels
have
perfect
5.0
Google
ratings
with
17
reviews
each,
approximately
half
of
which
are
from
individuals
speaking
the
same
native
language
as
the
guy
that
was
helping
his
friend
run
the
hostels.
And
several
of
the
same
people
wrote
reviews
for
both
hostels.
I'll
make
sure
to
do
the
same.
