1.00We had to cancel our flights (05.03.2026). We already received the reimbursement for our flights but not for the booking of the AlMaha lounge (transit). We paid 2x65 euros. AlMaha lounge replied they couldn't do anything as the booking was done together with the flights. On their website we can get a refund if not used but I just got the message that it's not refundable even more than one month in advance ! We are very disappointed.
Disappointment

1.00They let you wait in line to enter. Going to a public food court gives you a better experience. Rip off. Very disappointing.
Save your money unless you like disgusting customer service.

1.00We booked this lounge as we had a 3 hour stopover. On arrival at the lounge we encountered the rudest male individual on the reception desk. I showed him the reservation which was a arcade and not a QR code. He was so unhelpful, had no interest in us at all, one of the rudest individuals I have ever encountered. I eventually found a QR code after getting a dragonpass QR code. The food was so so and due to the delay of getting a QR Code we only had just over an hour in the lounge. One of our party had broken his leg 2 days before and was in wheelchair and in some considerable pain but this made no difference to the horrible man on the reception. We travelled 21st Jan.
Gold Lounge 💖 elegant one

5.00Very elegant place. I always enjoy my time there. The Arabic and English menus are well presented, and the extra-butter chicken is delicious. Special thanks to Chef Anoy 👍🏻for the great recommendation. One suggestion: updating the menu occasionally would make it even better💖
Not necessary

2.00Great disappointment! 1/ No reception for people who have already booked (you have to do the quest at any time of the night). 2/ despite a team of several dozen people, the cleanliness leaves something to be desired 3/ a dozen deckchairs in total to lie down 4/ poor food supply 5/ it makes provision for dedicated areas where people could phone (because even trying to sleep) people phone without any respect for other travelers.
Disappointing.

1.00A waste of your money. The lounge smelled of smoking and the food was of cheap quality. Only had one shower with women having to line up in the bathroom for unreasonable periods of time. It wasn't until I complained because I needed to board my plane that I was escorted to a shower somewhere else. On another note, I also saw someone washing their feet in the hand basin, disgusting behaviour. I recommend you find a comfortable seat in the airport and spend your money on something else. The cucumber sandwiches were nice.
I booked a lounge at Qatar Doha airport , I couldn’t access the lounge they needed a qr code not a bar code ,

I had pre booked for a certain time and was exhausted 29 hr of travel to sydney. the sleeping area was too small and the guy next to me snored so loud no one said anything its a sleeping area not snoring area. food was also terrible and needed usb charging devices in the sleeping area. never again!
