    103 of the 126 homes with at least five reviews in Downtown Dubai are rated 4.8 out of 5 or higher. Each home shows its rating and number of reviews on its page.

    Which Downtown apartments have a Burj Khalifa view?

    Use the “Burj Khalifa views” collection or filter: every home in it has a view of the tower from the home itself.

    Is Downtown Dubai busy during New Year’s Eve?

    Very. Roads close from the afternoon, so book at least a month ahead and plan to stay in for the fireworks — a balcony view is the best seat in town.

    Is Downtown close to the beach?

    The nearest beaches (Jumeirah and La Mer) are 15 minutes away by car.

    Are holiday homes legal in Dubai?

    Yes. Holiday homes are regulated by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which licenses each home and requires every guest to be registered. Where available, the permit number is shown on the home’s page.

    What is included in the nightly price?

    The nightly price shown is all-in: cleaning and service fees are already included. The total on the “Confirm and pay” page is the full price, and no fee is added on arrival.

    Is a security deposit required?

    Some homes, mainly large villas, require a refundable security deposit. If yours does, our concierge tells you the amount before you arrive, and it is returned after check-out.

    What do I need to check in?

    A passport (or Emirates ID for residents) for every guest, shown at check-in for the mandatory DET registration. The main guest must be 18 or older. Check-in is usually from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00.

    How do I pay for a holiday home in Downtown Dubai with crypto?

    Choose your dates, select Reserve, then log in or create your DubaiCrypt account. Choose your cryptocurrency and pay the exact total directly at checkout in USDT, BTC or ETH, with the rate locked while you pay; your dates are held and the booking is confirmed as soon as the payment is confirmed on the blockchain.

    Can I cancel my booking?

    Yes, in one click from Trips in your account. You get a full refund to your DubaiCrypt balance up to 7 days before check-in and 50% up to 48 hours before; after that the booking is non-refundable.
