Update:
I have to update my review to reflect what happened after hajj, they decreased the number of buses significantly without considering the number of visitors still staying in the hotel, resulted in long waiting times for buses to come and waiting your turn or keep standing the whole time, this turned the movement to el haram to nightmare specially that haram gate is now shared with people of another hotels and you have to stay in same line with them.
Although i was planning to consider the hotel for umrah later, but after this experience i will certainly look for another hotel near to haram as i can't guarantee the buses availability and timing.
The hotel is very nice, rooms are excellent.
Room service needs to be improved, it is the first time to stay in a hotel where i have to request room service when needed, and i have to specify what they are required to do, and sometimes when i request 3-4 actions, some of them are done and some don't.
We stayed for 2 weeks with almost the same food everyday, but they started introducing new staff after 2 weeks.

Food was the biggest let down, other than that this Hotel was pretty Okay. It's a 20 min walk distance from Masjid Al Haram. Rooms are clean! Inside looks nice, I wish their buffet had better tasting food, it might be great tasting for others that do not like any spices/salt. Has a pretty decent market place as well. Me personally, I would have rated it higher, only if the food was better!

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The service was unacceptable on every level — the staff were unhelpful, inattentive, and at times even rude. It felt like customer satisfaction was the last thing on their minds.
The food was by far the worst part of the experience. Most of the dishes were barely edible — poorly cooked, lacked any flavor, and in some cases
This was definitely not the experience I expected, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable or enjoyable stay.

Beautiful Hotel, room service and housekeeping are excellent( food order easy and fast also delicious. Room is clean and quick housekeeping services). My only concern is telephone network are missing you will find telephone network connection due to location however I’m wondering how come they are not able to fix this problem by adding cell phone towers. This is the worst issue can’t make or receive any phone call while I’m in the room and the hotel even

Our stay at the hotel was exceptional, and a large part of this positive experience was due to the wonderful work of Mr. Mohammad Tareq who took care of the cleanliness of our room. His meticulousness and attention to detail really made a difference. Every day we returned to a spotless, welcoming room, arranged with care and attention to comfort. What's more, his courtesy and warm smile added a personal touch to our stay. Many thanks to him for his exceptional dedication and professionalism. He deserves our highest recognition!

I had a truly exceptional experience at this property. One of the standout features was the impeccable cleanliness throughout the facility, which made my stay all the more comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. Their dedication and hard work to ensure guests are satisfied did not go unnoticed — they genuinely go above and beyond to provide outstanding service.
Another highlight is the property’s prime location, just a short walk from the mosque, which made it incredibly convenient, especially for those visiting for religious purposes. I was also very appreciative of the late check-out they kindly accommodated, showing their flexibility and willingness to work with guests’ individual needs.
Overall, this property combines exceptional service, a clean and well-maintained environment, and a perfect location. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area — I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip.

Had an amazing stay at Jiwar Al-Madina Hotel! The reception staff was incredibly professional and welcoming, making check-in a breeze. The housekeeping team, especially Noman Ahmed, went above and beyond—our room was spotless every day, as if it had never been used before. The newly renovated rooms were super clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel for a hassle-free and pleasant stay in Madina!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel, and I must commend the owner, Mr. Abdul Kareem, for his commitment to excellence. A special thanks to Mr. Alaa Eldin, the Services Manager, whose leadership ensured a flawless experience. The food service was truly top-tier, with a diverse and delicious menu that catered to every taste. Every meal was a delight, thanks to the talented culinary team. Mr. Alaa Eldin’s attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident in every aspect of my stay, from the warm check-in to the immaculate housekeeping. Thank you, Mr. Abdul Kareem and Mr. Alaa Eldin, for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing professional and friendly management. Met the owner and super helpful and kind manger Mohammad Harbi.
Always ready to help if you need anything.
Restaurant manager Alauddin is a kind and respectful person always carrying a big smile on his face.
Momin and Noman are both very polite and hard working. They provide room service and anything you need within few minutes.
I would highly recommend this amazing hotel. Literally few minutes walk to Masjid Al Nabawi SAW and many general stores and cafes around. Don’t forget to try the best Spanish latte at Java cafe😊 located at the hotel corner.
There is also a Pakistani restaurant under Nusk Al Hijra hotel which you can see from Jiwar.

I usually dont like to do reviews like this but sadly I have to as I believe its an amanah for future hujjaj.
I went on Hajj with Hunafaa and their partners in 2025 and sadly it was a very disappointing experience. Group leads were mostly absent, leaving us to organise everything ourselves. Elderly people and first-timers were left without proper support. Communication was poor, responses were slow, and a helpful WhatsApp group was closed just before we arrived.
Muzdalifah was a disaster — we arrived late, had no space, and were told to sleep dangerously close to a busy highway. The group got split up and left behind with no care shown by the leads. Elderly people were stranded and confused, while group leaders relaxed without concern.
One group lead in particular (wont mention the name on here) was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. He didn’t seem fit for the role at all.
There was no proper logistical info — we weren’t even told about free shuttle buses until days later.
This felt like a first-time operation, not a company claiming years of experience. You can’t keep telling people “have sabr” after delivering poor service. Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime journey — this company did not respect that. Would not recommend, especially for elderly pilgrims. I sincerely hope they improve.
One positive I can say is the religious and spiritual aspect was very good. Sheikh Imran Patel was on point.
Constructive Feedback for Future Hajj Trips:
While this experience was deeply disappointing, I want to provide some sincere feedback to help improve the service for future hujjaj. I believe this is an amanah (trust) that you carry, and future pilgrims deserve better:
1. Hold a live seminar with all group leads present before departure. This allows everyone to meet and become familiar with who they can approach during the trip.
2. Create and maintain a dedicated WhatsApp group for all hujjaj to communicate, share updates, and ask questions throughout the entire trip.
3. Group leads should be present at the airport before the hujjaj arrive, clearly visible, wearing appropriate branded jackets or lanyards. After check-in, take time to introduce themselves to the group properly.
4. Learn and document local hotel and area amenities (e.g., shuttle bus services, walking directions to Haram, food places), and provide this to the hujjaj before arrival.
5. Hire group leads based on character and communication skills, not just availability. Only assign individuals who want to do the role and can handle it with compassion and professionalism. There should be a minimum of two group leads per hotel—not just one.
6. Dont advertise the trip to the elderly. Especially if English is not one of their languages. Based on what I experienced, this company is not equipped to support elderly pilgrims, and advertising otherwise is misleading.
7. Hire at least one female group lead. This is a must. Many sisters needed guidance and support and had no one to turn to.

The experience with Hunafa and their hajj partners was very disappointing. Apart from religious and spiritual talks/guidance, their wasn't much support and it felt like a lot of short comings were glossed over by way of the blame game I.e it's not them it's the service provider or the default answer being have "sabr".
Unfortunately for the outlay - which for a couple can run into the tens of thousands you expect a minimum service level.
It felt like a case of over promise under deliver as opposed to the other way round.

Booked my last minute Ummrah package last February with Hunafaa Travels, Shaykul, as ever done his best to accommodate my needs, Alhamdulillah! Only thing I will say is if you’re going with children then probably look for direct flights unless you’re happy to do transit flights. Hotels both in Madinah and Makkah were great, location was perfect.

The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions. The itinerary was well-organized, allowing us to experience the best of our Hajj without feeling rushed. Every detail was taken care of, and we felt truly valued as customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and unforgettable Hajj experience. Definitely the best travel agency I’ve ever traveled with!

It was the first time i have used hunafaa upon a friends recommendation and i was not disappointed at all. Excellent service provided. I was very happy with my umrah package. Everything was great, from plane journey to hotel stays and everything in between. Cannot fault them at all. Delivered on every promises made 👍 Big shout out to the two brothers who looled after me and my family throughout, brother Kareem and brother Shekul 👊 love and respect brothers, thank you. Just like my friend who recommended me to use hunafaa travels i will also highly recommend you guys use hunafaa travels services for all your umrah and hajj plans 👍 Once again, thank you hunafaa travels for making our pilgrim journey a pleasant, easy and comfortable one 😁

Still due refund three years later
Coming up to three years now and still yet to receive a full refund for our Hajj deposits. It has been painstaking process and they often dont reply untill prompted again. I have been very patient with them but they just want to keep hold of the money. Whether or not thier suppliers have paid them back is not my concern. I am rightly owed a refund. Will now be taking them to court to recover my money and expenses due to loss of value in three years
