Accommodation Scams in Kuwait City

Short-Term Apartment Rental Misrepresentation

Short-term furnished apartment listings on international booking platforms and local Kuwaiti classifieds advertise properties in the Salmiya or Fintas districts that do not match photos, are significantly further from the city center than claimed, or are double-booked. Hosts sometimes demand full cash payment on arrival then refuse refunds when the property does not meet expectations.
