Alice is a very kind and thoughtful host and she makes you feel you are right at home. She was welcoming and very warm. The villa is cozy and clean. The bed is comfortable. I hope to be back in the future.

Luxury, New, 3-Bed House
Shai is truly a super host. She made sure we felt right at home, checked in on us a few times and even provided cleaning material and laundry detergents. The house was spotless and well maintained! She truly thought out of the entire experience and provided home like comfort. She is very responsive and responsible and very delightful to deal with.

Cosy Luxury villa Tilal Alghaf
The house was perfect for our 6 night stay. Leila was friendly responded to any questions we had promptly. I would happily stay again.

I have no words to describe the place and the hospitality of Abdul and his family. Abdul is such a great host, very accommodating, goes out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. 10/10 will recommend and will book again if given a chance.

Stunningly Modern Desert Oasis
The villa was perfect for what we needed. We were holding a big family reunion and needed the additional bed space in the Ranches. Couldn't fault it and a bonus being so close to the Ranches Souk and Golf club (bars). Thanks so much.

Sunrise Homes - Spring Villa with Private Pool
Everything was as it said it would be ,it was clean and very comfortable.The beds were extremely comfy . All amenities were provided..The pool man came in everyday and cleaned the garden leaves and cleaned the pool filter . The host answered us extremely promptly whenever we had a question . There were a lot of mosquitoes ( to be expected at this time of year) the owner sent us extra “ zappers” for our comfort which was very kind and much appreciated. We would definitely go back Thank you for a wonderful stay in your lovely home 😊

Apartments in Dubai

Full Marina Views in Cozy EMAAR Apartment
We arrived very late, but the host's agent was already waiting at the apartment—such a relief! The place smelled fresh and clean the moment we stepped in. The view was amazing, and the apartment had all the amenities we could ask for. The host even prepared everything we requested in advance! About a 15 mins walk to the beach, making it a great choice if you're exploring the Palm area. The only minor issue was the bedroom curtains not being fully blackout. Still, highly recommend this spot!

GuestReady - Prestigious Retreat with Marina View
The place is great, so is the host! Highly recommended place for a family of 4.

Stunning City Oasis I Burj Khalifa I Infinity Pool
The apartment was perfect. The view, pool and two restaurants in the building were great. At the entrance there is a supermarket, small but has everything you need. The price may have been a bit high, diagonally across the street there is a similar building much cheaper, yet we would book here again

The place was really nice, they’ve maximized the space in a very smart way and they had everything needed for the stay in the apartment which felt like staying at home.
Villas in Dubai

Ultimate 5BR Duplex Sky Villa with Private Pool
Best place in JBR and the staff is amazing! Will come back! Moha

Exclusive 3-Bed Villa with Pool in Elite Community
When communicating, make sure that it is either a better chatbot or better trained employees. We felt that these difficulties were necessary. Waiting over 2 hours to get through the gate. That was very inadequate. But they made an effort afterwards and allowed us to check out an hour later. Everything else was absolutely perfect. So if the topic of communication is framed better again, then everything is perfect. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to come back.

Luxury 3BR Villa, Just Cavalli, Damac Hills 2
Nice place, everything you need is close by car. 40mins from palms, marina or Deira

Hostel Berber Boy Suite (Capsule Bed) - JBR Beach
One of the best hostels I've ever stayed as an entrepreneur. Come here if you want a productive time, motivated people and fun time. Will definitely come back!

Spacious Villa Dubai
Ahmed is a very good man and helpful owner. From day one everything was amazing. Clean house , constant feedback from Ahmed. We stayed for 10 days with a family of 5. Clean 3 bedrooms upstairs and a living room with a kitchen area. Nice terrace outside with a barbecue area. My kids and wife are happy. Definitely will visit again!

New Family Villa with PS5, Garden & Playroom
With family arriving to Dubai from different countries, Homevy provided the perfect home for all of us to reconnect and make lasting memories. We all focused on spending our time together without worrying at all about anything else. The place was perfect to check in, stay and use. All the amenities were there and for anything else we had it delivered in under 15 mins. We even requested for a late check out which they accommodated at a small fee. They are extremely responsive and great hosts. Overall, I’d recommend them for a hassle-free stay and would definitely stay there again on our next visit.

Your guide to Dubai
All About Dubai
Dubai began as a small fishing village and eventually grew into one of the most dynamic metropolises in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a fascinating desert city, with a soaring modern skyline made up of some of the world’s tallest towers and some of the largest shopping malls on the planet. You’ll also find championship golf courses, gorgeous beaches, man-made islands, and even indoor ski slopes here.
It’s easy to focus on the hypermodern half of the city in all of its glitzy, air-conditioned glory, but don’t overlook Dubai’s historic Old Quarter where you can check out 19th-century architecture, browse the gold souk for jewelry, get a bite at one of the more traditional restaurants or tea houses, and visit the Dubai Museum that’s housed inside a fort from 1787. The exciting blend of ancient heritage and ahead-of-the-curve futurism is what makes Dubai so unique, and if you’d like to get a better feel for the city’s natural surroundings, you can head out on an excursion to the nearby desert.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dubai
There’s really no way around it: Dubai — and the entire region surrounding it — is hot. After all, this is largely desert country, and the primary way to elude the heat is to stay indoors, whether you’re out exploring or at your apartment or condo rental in Dubai. This heat is why many of Dubai’s top attractions are indoors, with plenty of air conditioning to keep you comfortable. And while summertime temperatures average among the highest on the planet, the winter months are comparably mild, with plenty of comfortable daytime average temperatures and some pleasantly cool nights. Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims, gradually shifts its occurrence each calendar year, but if you’re visiting during this time, expect to find a different level of activity as religious practitioners observe traditions of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
Top things to do in Dubai
Burj Khalifa
At 2,722 feet and rising 160 stories, the Burj Khalifa is not only one of the world’s tallest buildings, but it’s also one of the world’s tallest free-standing structures. There are three different observation decks where you can extend your visit: The lounge offers tea, baked goods, and champagne while the top two have fast elevator rides, telescopes, virtual reality experiences, and 360-degree observation decks.
Gold and Spice Souks
To experience the marketplace energy that’s fueled this part of the world for centuries, head out to the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. Souks, or bazaars, represent the essence of trade in the same vein as they have for hundreds of years. Dubai’s Gold Souk is one of the legendary gold jewelry trading centers in the world, and the Spice Souk… well, you just have to go and smell for yourself.
Dubai Mall
Dubai is a shoppers’ paradise, and Dubai Mall is its epicenter. It ranks as one of the world’s largest indoor shopping centers, and you’ll need a highly detailed map to navigate it from end to end. There are more than 1,300 stores, boutiques, and shops here. And there are also countless entertainment and kid-friendly options, including an ice rink and a 22-screen cinema.
