Thanks for the warning. I’m looking at attending the 2025 race and will be sure to keep this in mind when considering accommodation options.

Really sorry to hear you have had such issues with your hotel booking in Jeddah. I hope it all works out. I’ll think about adding a warning as well to this post.

Way back in October, I booked one across from the track. In February, they canceled. Due to limited availability, I booked another Saudi-run hotel in the general vicinity. After the experience with the first hotel, I decided to contact this hotel, just to reconfirm the reservation. They wrote back and told me that they could not honor the reservation because they are full. However, I can see that they are still accepting reservations through online booking platforms and they never actually canceled the reservation I made through Agoda. I booked a third Saudi-owned hotel and again received a booking confirmation through Agoda, but contacted them directly to reconfirm. It took them about a week before they responded by saying that they’re sorry, but it’s high season so they cannot accept the reservation (which again is still valid according to Agoda). There is no availability anymore with international chain hotels near the track, so I’ve tried one more booking with a Saudi hotel chain directly. However, for days now, I have been unable to reach them by phone to reconfirm and they have not responded to any of my emails. I’m really regretting getting tickets for this GP. It looks like we’ll probably be scrambling up until the last minute and end up staying on the opposite side of town. (Unfortunately, I have no confidence that the car rental agency will keep my reservation either!)
