DPR Hajj Oversight Team Praises Services as Pilgrims Receive 5-Star Hotel Accommodation in Madinah

The 2026 DPR RI Hajj Oversight Team has praised the implementation and organisation of the Hajj pilgrimage conducted by the government. One of the primary commendations was directed towards the accommodation services provided to pilgrims. Cucun Ahmad Syamsurizal, Chairman of the DPR Hajj Oversight Team, stated that based on the findings from the oversight team’s mission in Madinah and the evaluation of the first phase of the Hajj pilgrimage, the government’s service to 103,732 pilgrims was extraordinary. Despite being regular pilgrims, they were placed in five-star hotels located around Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, including the Intercontinental hotel. Historically, five-star hotel accommodation has typically been reserved for ‘Hajj Plus’ or Special Hajj Organisers (PIHK) pilgrims. The Hajj Oversight Team noted that this level of facility represents a first in the history of Indonesian Hajj administration.
