Location was good and it was on the beach and thats were the positive aspects ends. Tired ripped sunbeds shabby table and chairs bar area was not welcoming at all . The breakfast room was no better no covering over breakfast food which was very basic Turkish breakfast bread was grmenerslly day old and one a domestic 2 slice toaster for use. The amount of cats was vile jumping on tables when trying to eat they also used beach and grass areas as giant litter trays. Room was basic and shabby problems with shower no contact eith holiday rep so was stranded. Jada was fantastic and utterly wasted at this hotel. Pool area was vile I noted food debris in pool on day on it was still present on day 14 no once was it cleaned its was a giant area of stagnant water.
We booked this hotel through Love Holidays. The pictures do not look like the real life place. When we arrived they offered us a tiny/dirty room over looking a roof. We refused this and were offered a room with a better view but the bed was falling apart and the room again was dirty. We had to sleep in there for one night. The last room was ok. But the air conditioner leaked and so did the shower. I returned home with a chest infection and very unwell. I would not stay here ever again
Absolutely Horrendous Experience – Avoid at All Costs
I have travelled to many places, but this is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Hotel Baba completely ruined what was meant to be a family holiday.
From the moment we arrived, things were wrong. We were given a room that was still being cleaned, and within hours the bathroom flooded with dirty sewage water. Every time the toilet was flushed, contaminated water came back up through the floor drains. This is not just poor service, it is a serious health hazard.
The hygiene standards were shocking. Bedding was dirty, cups were not properly washed, and the overall environment felt unsafe for both adults and children.
Food was another disaster. “Hot meals” were served cold because there were no proper heating facilities. On top of that, we were given hot water that actually contained sand. We only realised this after leaving the water to settle and seeing the sand at the bottom of the cup. No kettle was provided in the room, so we had to keep going to the bar to request hot water, which was clearly not safe to drink.
The hotel is also unsafe. The sofa bed collapsed while I was sleeping, causing me to fall and sustain injury. Instead of properly replacing it, they attempted a poor fix, and the replacement was still faulty. To make matters worse, a child in our group was trapped inside the bathroom because the shower door jammed.
Customer service was appalling. The manager was rude and unhelpful, and instead of resolving issues, he threatened to call the police when we complained about the conditions.
This hotel is dirty, unsafe, poorly managed, and completely unfit for families. There is no care for guest safety, hygiene, or basic comfort.
Do not be misled by the location — nothing can make up for the terrible experience. This was a complete waste of money and an extremely stressful, upsetting stay.
I strongly advise anyone to avoid Hotel Baba.
The hotel was a bit outdated, wifi only worked in the lobby which was a bit frustrating. Air con didn’t work in the rooms, very noisy at nighttime due to the local clubs / bars but this isn’t fault of the hotel.
Food wasn’t good, went all inclusive but only really ate 3 times there and the rest of the holiday we ate out!
The rooms were kept clean and the lovely lady always made nice shapes on the beds with towels and flowers. Staff were accommodating & friendly.
Local area was great, lots to do and see, really reccomend the local boat trips!
Okay, so I just got back from what was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, but honestly, my stay at Hotel Baba was anything but. Right off the bat, the people at reception were just...rude. No smiles, no help, just a general vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else. And no matter what problem you had, they were completely useless. Needed extra towels? Tough luck. Question about the area? Blank stares.
The food? Let's just say I've had better meals on a plane. Everything tasted like it had been sitting out for days, and honestly, the whole place felt grimy. Like, actually dirty. I'm not usually one to complain, but seriously, do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. This place is a total waste of money and a major letdown. There’s a specific worker who worked at the reception desk who will make you want to leave as soon as you step a foot. I uploaded a photo of him as I assume he’s made other people also feel very unwelcomed and uncomfortable.
