Worst lounge ever. Extremely poor. Don't waste yor money

The worst airline lounge I have ever been to. A disgrace to the country and airport Excessively over crowded ; sub standard food offerings, cp other airline lounges Very over priced for very little Desk staff quite incompetent in finding the booking though a staf member inside was helpful In adequate facilities including very few toilets and a wait of over 15 minutes in a queue in the mens -- just two tolets and another two with even longer waits A complete waste of money

Operator response

Dear John, Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience at the Doha Al Maha Lounge fell short of expectations. As a booking platform, we work closely with lounge operators, and we understand that the lounge is currently in a recovery phase. During peak hours, high passenger traffic may lead to crowding and delays in restocking. We have already forwarded your comments to the lounge management team for their serious attention and hope to see meaningful improvements. We appreciate your understanding and hope to serve you better in the future. Best regards, Trippest Customer Service Team

Disappointed

I pre paid for lounge tickets, received my booking ticket number and reference number, arrived in Doha 3 hour delay, checked in at lounge only to be told that I needed a code to get in, that took another 20 minutes to verify before being let in. I just found the whole experience exhausting after a 14 hour flight

Operator response

Dear Rudiger, Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival. We understand how frustrating it must have been after such a long flight. Please note that the unique QR code is the exclusive check-in credential required for lounge entry, and this is clearly stated in both the product description and the post-booking guidelines. We regret any confusion caused and truly appreciate your patience. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better on your next journey. Best regards, Trippest Customer Service Team

Looking forward & Disappointed

Arrived at 7am, looking forward to as it was our first time in Doha. Sadly, very disappointed with the food choice for the price paid. Breakfast 5 choices and standard choice of drinks. I would NOT recommend this at £54 per person. Not worth the money paid. Very, clean and the service is good. Limited table seating. More couches for seating. Had eaten from our laps.

Operator response

Dear Zahid, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you appreciated the cleanliness and service at the Al Maha Lounge, but we regret that the food options fell short of your expectations. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will relay them to our partners for improvement. We look forward to facilitating a better experience for you on your next visit!

Disappointed

We couldn’t find 2 seats together and although there was plenty food on offer, it was basic. It was disappointing having to queue to use the male and female toilets.

As the only lounge at Doha Airport without airline restrictions, it offers essential services to all travelers.
