A note from the Livingin founder
What is Livingin.ae?
Choosing where to live is one of the biggest decisions you make, whether you're new to Dubai or moving apartments. You never really know what it's like until you live there. There's dust from nearby construction sites. There are things you won't discover unless you actually experience them day to day. How else would you get this insight? The only way is by speaking to people who have actually lived there. That's why we created Livingin.
Livingin is a community-led platform where real tenants can share their genuine experience of Livingina building. So next time you're choosing an apartment, you know the real truth about what it's like to live somewhere. The service is free. We're impartial. We don't work for any developers. We don't work for any agents. We just want to get the truth out there.
Livingin is currently being built, and we'd love for you to join our community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Livingin — who we are, how we work, and what makes us different.
Livingin is the trusted, impartial platform for renters in the UAE to discover what it's really like Livingina building before signing the lease. We're built by renters, for renters — not tied to landlords, developers, or agents. We exist because the truth about Livingina building gets lost between glossy photos and curated viewings. By the time you move in, it's too late. Livingin puts honest, lived experience first so you can make confident rental decisions.
Property Finder and Bayut are designed to facilitate transactions — they're built for landlords and agents to list properties, not to capture the real, day-to-day experience of living there. Google Reviews are scattered and often lack the depth renters need about building management, maintenance quality, noise levels, and neighbour dynamics.
Livingin is different because we ask targeted, structured questions about what it's actually like to live in a building — not just a star rating. We focus exclusively on the renter perspective, we have no financial incentive to promote any building, and we're building a community of people with real lived experience in UAE buildings.
Livingin is 100% independent and renter-first. We are not affiliated with landlords, agents, developers, or any property transaction platforms. We don't profit from moving renters into specific buildings — our only incentive is to build a trusted resource that helps renters make better decisions. That independence is core to who we are.
Every reviewer verifies their email address during submission — this is required whether you create an account or submit as a guest. Email verification prevents spam and bot reviews while keeping the barrier to contributing low.
We also use automated moderation to flag suspicious patterns and manually review flagged submissions before publishing. We're transparent about our moderation policy in our Terms of Service. Over time, as our community grows, we'll build reputation signals so you can see which reviewers have a track record on the platform.
No. You can submit a review as a guest — just verify your email and you're done.
If you want to save favourite buildings, build a public profile, or track your reviews over time, you can create a free account with email and password. But we made guest reviews available because the biggest barrier to honest feedback shouldn't be account creation.
Yes. You can:
- Search by building name if you already have one in mind
- Browse by neighborhood or area to explore all buildings in a location you're interested in
- Filter by developer to see everything they've built
- Sort by rating, review count, or location to find the most reviewed or highest-rated buildings first
Start with a search or browse the map to find the buildings you're considering — then read what other renters are saying about them.
