| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nesaj Al Fursan – Phase 1Fursan Destination, Riyadh759 units | 9.1/ 10 | 8.9/ 10 | 9.1/ 10 |
The 4.7/5 aggregate from 137 reviews is the only published building-specific rating located and therefore sets the level; it converts to approximately 9.1/10 on the requested market curve. The written comments contain both strong praise and meaningful allegations about handover quality and responsiveness, so the score is tempered slightly rather than treated as an unqualified 9.1. | |||
No independent engineering or systems assessment was published in the material reviewed. One 2026 review alleges buyers can wait years for handover and receive the villa “بأسوأ مما تتخيل” (“worse than you can imagine”), while a separate review says work was “مستمر ودقيق” (“ongoing and precise”); these are resident/customer assertions, not verified inspections. | Operational feedback is mixed. A 2023 review said customer service was poor and “مايردون” (“does not respond”), while later comments praised Retal and described the work as “مستمر ودقيق” (“ongoing and precise”); official reporting also says Phase 1 handovers began ahead of schedule, but that is a delivery announcement rather than a resident satisfaction rating. | ||
| Retal ResidenceAl Sadafah, Al Khobar416 units | 9.0/ 10 | —/ 10 | 9.0/ 10 |
The Google Reviews/Maps aggregate of 4.6/5 from 184 reviews sets the level and converts to approximately 8.9/10 under the requested market curve. Repeated praise concerns amenities, staff, safety, cleanliness and the calm atmosphere; isolated operational complaints were reported but were not recurring or severe enough to reduce the score under the stated rules. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | Residents and visitors praised the compound’s facilities, staff and atmosphere: one review called the service “unbelievable” and “almost like living in a resort,” while another described it as “safe, clean, and calm.” The main operational criticism reported was that a security deposit had still not been returned after more than two months, alongside an allegation that the manager was “very rude”; another reviewer described a dispute over allowing a friend onto a school bus. | ||
| Nesaj Town IIDammam1,653 units | 8.7/ 10 | 8.7/ 10 | 8.7/ 10 |
The Google/Maps place listing provides the largest and only qualifying aggregate review base: 4.6/5 from 186 reviews, converted to 8.7/10 using the stated market curve. The sampled reviews add positive commentary on design, comfort, finishing and community, alongside service/infrastructure complaints; no independent competing aggregate rating was found. Retal's 2023 report says 552 Nesaj Town 2 units were delivered in 2023, but that completion figure is not a resident-quality rating. | |||
The sampled building-related feedback is favorable on appearance and finishing: one reviewer wrote “Beautifully designed building, complete comfort and a wonderful view,” while another reported “شغلهم نظيف وتشطيب جميل” (“their work is clean and the finishing is beautiful”). Countervailing evidence includes a 1/5 review alleging very slow construction and a 2021 newspaper report that some delivered homes lacked complete surrounding infrastructure; no published engineering or systems rating was found. | Daily-life feedback is mixed but leans positive: reviewers describe the project as comfortable, attractive and having good neighbors, including “المشروع جميل والجيران اجمل والمنطقة مميزة” (“the project is beautiful, the neighbors are nicer, and the area is distinctive”). However, a 2025 review said the neighborhood was orderly but lacked “schools, clinics, mosques, water connection and drainage,” while earlier residents reported more than 100 connectivity complaints and difficulty reaching emergency services in parts of the neighborhood. | ||
| Nesaj TownDammam674 units | 8.6/ 10 | 8.6/ 10 | 8.6/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest published review base at 4.6/5 from 186 reviews, which converts to 8.8 under the requested curve. The score is adjusted modestly downward for repeated complaints about missing basic services; older infrastructure reporting is treated as historical and uncertain as of 2026-10-14, not as proof of a current defect. | |||
One review complained of “البطيء الشديد للبناء” (“very slow construction”) and said the house was still unfinished. Separately, a 2021 report quoted residents saying villas had been handed over without complete infrastructure and that communications and internet were unavailable; this is old evidence and does not establish that the problem remained unresolved on 2026-10-14. | Reviews praise the project as “beautifully designed,” comfortable and attractive, and one says “the project is beautiful and the neighbours are even better.” Countervailing feedback says the area lacks basic services—including schools, clinics, mosques, water and drainage—and another review cites absent telecommunications coverage and streets that were not yet paved; the 2021 newspaper complaints are historical rather than proof of the current position. | ||
| Nesaj RiyadhAl Jwan, Riyadh695 units | 7.7/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.5/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps supplies the largest published review base at 4.2/5 from 217 reviews, which converts to approximately 7.6/10 under the requested curve. Yandex is more positive but has only 14 reviews, while the sampled written feedback includes both strong amenity and staff praise and a serious delay complaint; because neither complaint is shown by more than one separate review in the material read, the final resident score remains 7.5/10. | |||
A published resident complaint alleges “engineering and construction errors” in a villa and says they were documented with photographs and video. No published aggregate structural or systems sub-score was found, so the physical-condition evidence remains limited to this single complaint. | The published place reviews include praise that the neighbourhood is among the best in Khuzam Suburb and is integrated with “a park, mosque and shopping centre,” plus positive comments thanking Retal staff and describing them as respectful. The counterpoint is a 1/5 review alleging a promised 2022 handover had still not occurred after “a year and seven months” of postponements, with no spokesperson or update and continuing rent and instalment pressure. | ||
| Ewan Al MaaliDammam76 units | 7.5/ 10 | 7.0/ 10 | 7.2/ 10 |
The 4.1/5 building listing rating based on 68 reviews sets the level and converts to 7.0/10 under the specified curve. Favorable repeated comments about design, finishes, location and responsiveness support a modest upward adjustment, while the repeated price criticism is minor rather than an operational or structural failure. | |||
The available building-specific comments are positive about fabric and finish: one reviewer wrote “ممتاز والتفنيشات ممتازة” (“excellent, and the finishes are excellent”), and another described the “quality” and “design” as excellent. No published review located here reports leaks, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, lift or other serious systems failures, so those systems remain unevidenced rather than scored separately. | Day-to-day feedback is generally favorable: a 2026 review praises “سرعة تجاوب، مساعدة على أكمل وجه وتفاني” (quick responsiveness, full assistance and dedication), while other reviewers call the villas “Nice” and praise the location. The main recurring reservation is value, with comments that the price is high relative to the area; one review also says the ground floor is small and lacks a women’s majlis. | ||
| Nesaj Al KhobarRemal, Al Khobar118 units | 7.3/ 10 | 7.3/ 10 | 7.3/ 10 |
The building-specific Google listing publishes 4.1/5 from 37 reviews, which sets the anchor; using the stated conversion curve, 4.1/5 converts to approximately 7.3/10. The two accessible written reviews add some positive location and construction commentary and one dated handover concern, but no recurring theme qualifies for a commentary adjustment; confidence is limited because the detailed written evidence is old and sparse. | |||
One March 20, 2023 review said the villa had not yet been handed over, but described the construction as “متميز و ممتاز من ناحية المواد المستخدمة وطريقة البناء” (“excellent in terms of the materials used and the construction method”). This is direct resident-style feedback on construction quality, but it is an old, single review and does not establish the condition of every villa as of October 14, 2026. | A November 2, 2022 review described the location as “هادئ ومميز” (“quiet and distinctive”) and said it could be among the best locations in Khobar after all buildings were completed. The accessible feedback is thin and largely concerns location and project completion; it does not provide current, detailed evidence about management speed, security, staff attitude, or common-area upkeep. | ||
