Pros:

They gave us a different room from what we have booked they lied on the pictures they have put on booking and they tried to make it out for the other nights by gaving us a better room

Cons:

They should have put true pictures of the room that was near to a pool and that pool was in maintenance we talked to the manager that confirms that he will refund the first night and still didnt receive any feedback

Huge letdown, please avoid
Pros:

The lunch prepared was nice.

Cons:

I normally refrain from leaving negative reviews, but this stay was a complete letdown. After a exhausting overnight bus journey, we arrived around 2:00 PM. Although standard check-in was at 3:00 PM, we repeatedly explained how exhausted we were and requested an early room if possible. They offered us tea while scanning our passports, which was a nice gesture, but after waiting over an hour and 15 minutes, we had to press a manager before finally being handed our key. No basic hotel information, amenities guide, or breakfast instructions were provided.

The room itself was nothing like the photos online:

* **Cleanliness & Odor:** It was dirty and had a strong, unpleasant smell.
* **Bathroom Condition:** The shower screws were broken, the shower door barely functioned, and the toilet seat was broken.

Hoping to turn the stay around, we grabbed lunch, rested, and planned to use the swimming pool before our 10:30 AM checkout the next day. Google listed the pool hours as 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, yet staff refused to let us swim, claiming the pool was closed because breakfast was being served until 11:00 AM—even though guests were eating and drinking around the pool area the entire day prior. Despite explaining our imminent checkout, they refused to accommodate us.

To top it off, the breakfast was terrible.

Charging rates comparable to a solid 4- or 5-star hotel while offering abysmal service and dilapidated rooms is completely unacceptable. Their restrictive 3:00 PM check-in and early 10:30 AM checkout policy seems designed purely for their own convenience rather than guest satisfaction. I strongly recommend avoiding this place.

Very wholesome place!
Pros:

It was good located between Cesma and Alacati. The staff were very kind and friendly. Everyone likes to have a little chat. Even stayers with other stayers. I felt very welcome and warm. As if it was a big family vacation.

Cons:

The pool was a little dirty but after telling them they put a pool vacuum cleaner in the water.

It is nice to stay in a hotel where you are surrounded by different parts of nature.
Pros:

The breakfast and dinner was amazing and had a variety of choices.The atmosphere was beautiful and you can see different parts of nature such as olive trees, flowers, as well as the garden.

Pros:

Οι μόνοι που αξίζουν εκεί είναι ο μάγειρας κ οι σερβιτόροι που ήταν πάντα με το χαμόγελο.

Cons:

Η κοπελα στη ρεσεψιον αγενής( όταν την έβρισκες), τα δωμάτια απαράδεκτα ,καμία σχέση με τις φωτογραφίες, λειτουργούσε μόνο η μία πισίνα και γενικά το κτίριο κ ο κήπος έχουν έντονα σημάδια εγκατάλειψης. Απο τις χειρότερες διαμονές μας!

Afschuwelijk
Pros:

Was overal dichtbij

Cons:

Wat een ontzettend slecht hotel. Nooit meer! Voor de prijs die we hebben betaald, hadden we echt veel meer verwacht. Het hotel was vies en de manager was ontzettend onaardig en onprofessioneel.

We hebben tijdens ons verblijf iets heel naars meegemaakt: de douchecabine is gewoon ontploft. Wat het hotel vervolgens heeft gedaan, was alleen de boel schoonmaken. Er werd niet eens gevraagd hoe het met ons ging of of we in orde waren. Geen enkele vorm van medeleven of goede service.

De manager is bovendien totaal niet klantvriendelijk. Niet alleen tegen gasten, maar ook tegen het personeel. Mensen worden op een neerbuigende manier aangesproken, alsof het kleine kinderen zijn. Wij voelden ons absoluut niet serieus genomen.

We waren dan ook ontzettend blij toen we eindelijk konden vertrekken. Een vakantie hoort ontspannen en prettig te zijn, maar ons verblijf hier heeft het tegenovergestelde gevoel gegeven.

Wij raden dit hotel absoluut niet aan. Bespaar jezelf de teleurstelling en verpest je vakantie niet. Kies vooral een ander hotel!

Δεν μείναμε, ήταν αδύνατον υπό αυτές τις συνθήκες. Παράλογη τιμή για την κατάσταση του καταλύματος.
Cons:

Το είδαμε και φύγαμε. Δεν μείναμε καν.

Photos are fake, the dirtiest and worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in
Pros:

I didn’t like anything

Cons:

I have never seen a hotel this dirty and poorly maintained in my life. Everything in the bathroom was covered in mould and rust. The windows were absolutely filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time. We were even unsure whether the toilet had been properly cleaned because the whole bathroom was so dirty.

The moment I entered the room, I started sneezing because of all the dust. There was a half-used 5-litre bottle of water in the room with a cardboard cup next to it, which was extremely unhygienic.

We checked in at around 10 pm and immediately regretted it. We didn’t even want to stay, but at that time of night we had no other choice.

The photos online are completely misleading and look like they were generated or heavily edited with AI. The actual room and hotel look nothing like the pictures advertised.

This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. The level of cleanliness and maintenance is completely unacceptable

Hele mooie hotel maar veel gebreken.
Pros:

Mevrouw Sude, die daar aan de balie was was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

De eigenaresse. En dat de handdoeken en dekens om de 3 dagen worden verwisseld. Ook was een geen water te verkrijgen zonder dat je er vooral betaald. Nadat wij er wat van hebben gezegd hadden ze een waterkraan (damacana) geplaatst.

Séjour très décevant
Pros:

La wifi

Cons:

Notre séjour à l’Alaçatı Barbarossa Otel a malheureusement été très décevant.

À notre arrivée à 14h40, nous savions que le check-in était prévu à 15h. Nous avons donc attendu l’heure prévue avant que quelqu’un s’occupe de nous. Une fois 15h passées, on nous a annoncé que notre chambre n’était finalement pas prête. Nous avons dû patienter près d’une heure supplémentaire.

Les problèmes ne se sont malheureusement pas arrêtés là. La première chambre qui nous a été attribuée ne comportait que trois lits alors que nous étions quatre. On nous a ensuite dirigés vers une deuxième chambre… qui était déjà occupée par d’autres clients ! Ce n’est qu’à la troisième tentative que nous avons enfin pu nous installer.

La chambre était très décevante et ne correspondait pas aux photos présentées sur Booking. Elle était exiguë, les meubles étaient vieillissants et certains étaient même cassés. Les matelas présentaient des taches, même si le linge de lit était propre. La salle de bain était correcte, sans plus.

La piscine était agréable et peu fréquentée, ce qui permettait de profiter tranquillement des transats. C’est l’un des rares points positifs de notre séjour.

Le petit-déjeuner était très moyen, avec peu de choix. Nous avons notamment regretté l’absence de jus d’orange pour les enfants.

Concernant le personnel, nous l’avons trouvé peu souriant et peu accueillant dans l’ensemble. En revanche, le chef cuisinier était particulièrement aimable et mérite d’être félicité pour sa gentillesse.

Enfin, au moment du départ, on a tenté de nous facturer des boissons que nous n’avions jamais consommées. Heureusement, l’erreur a pu être corrigée, mais cela laisse une mauvaise impression.

Au final, notre séjour a été très moyen. Au vu du prix payé et des photos présentées lors de la réservation, nous nous attendions à une prestation de bien meilleure qualité. Nous ne reviendrons malheureusement pas dans cet établissement.

Pros:

Only a few members of the staff were good; everything else was an absolute nightmare.

Cons:

The location is quite far from the city centre, so you will essentially need a car to get around.

Our room was dirty and had cigarette butts in it, and the bathroom was absolutely filthy. During our six-day stay, the room was cleaned only once — and even then, only after I reminded the staff.

There was supposed to be a small pool at the back, but it was empty. The large pool was supposed to have a pool bar and bungalows, but everything was broken and the pool bar was not functioning.

Breakfast was extremely poor, with practically only eggs available and a maximum of one or two other options. The pool itself was also dirty.

Overall, I absolutely do not recommend this place. We requested a refund, and initially the manager agreed and even told Booking.com that it was fine. However, in the end, he changed his mind and decided not to refund our money, wasting an entire day of our time.

The Wi-Fi barely works, and there is hardly any phone signal either. In short, this was a terrible experience. The hotel is absolutely nothing like the photos.

Plus jamais nous mettrons pieds.
Cons:

Chambre sale, il y avait des bêtes, et pas de nettoyage seulement sur demande.
Et quand elles sont venu « nettoyer »
Elles ont passée juste un petit coup de brosse au sol, charger les drap et essuies, c’est tout..
Personnel pas très présent, pas accueillant.
Nous avions réservé pour 10 jours mais on a su rester que 5 jours, impossible de rester plus longtemps.

Bamboozled i Alacati
Pros:

Manden der lavede frisk brød hver morgen var fænomenal :)

Cons:

Der var ikke styr på:
- morgenmad
- rengøring og oprydning omkring poolen
- rengøring og oprydning af værelset
- aircondition lækkede vand overalt i gangen
- døren kunne ikke låses
- lyset på toilettet virkede ikke

Listen er meget lang. Det absolut værste var personalets indstilling til service. Vi var en stor flok der er vant til at rejse og vi har ikke vildt høje forventninger - og stedet var billigt, men det var alt for dyrt ift den enormt ringe service. Mens der blev serveret morgenmad sidder personalet selv og spiser (???) - alt i mens der ikke er mere the eller vand. Senere skulle vi diskutere med personalet fordi de ville rykke vores værelse fordi de havde booket en anden kunde på samme værelse også. Først efter meget tovtrækkeri gav vi efter.

Poolen bliver ikke gjort ordentligt ren. Møbler i spiseområdet bliver ikke tørret ordentligt over efter brug. Og meget mere. Personalet var dog søde og imødekommende men det var som om at de ikke havde lederskab eller evnerne. Bortset fra Mehmet - stedets store stjerne 🌟 opholdet for 1 stjerne for location, 1 stjerne for vibe og 1 for Mehmet.
