Golden Beach Bodrum Hotel

This is message to all western tourist companies - please remove this hotel from your list if you still want to have customers.

This was the worst holiday of my life and its all because of wrong advertising.

Briefly :

- disgustingly dirty everywhere (rooms, bathroom, toilets, restaurant, pool, beach and everywhere else)

- staff non speaking english, short on staff, they seem not to be interested at all to provide good service and I dont blame them when I saw the conditions they have to work.

- no wi fi in the rooms, lift not working in 5 floor building.

- no cleaning service (we had to beg everyday in the reception for towels and toilet paper.

- worse food i have ever seen in hotel... mainly cheap frozen food all leftovers from breakfast, lunch etc. I had 4 day dhiaria. luckily I the nearby town had some good restaurants where I had to go everyday to eat.

- stinky everywhere... rotten food, tables not cleaned after customers finish etc.

- beach is not beach lol that's some man made up sand and extremely dirty too! people just don't look after anything.. cigarettes everywhere and all sort of garbage.

I can go way longer but its pointless to me this hotel seem to be destination for local people who probably haven't ever been to another hotel and cant really compare they seem to be happy and the management seem to like this.

Not just wasted money, but me and my family are disappointed from the so waited "holiday" ... so happy not to be there anymore life is back!

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST

The worst holiday ever, no wifi in the rooms, disgusting food and barley anything to eat and the cleaning services is so bad, i was waiting days for my room to get cleaned and even asked the receptionist 3 times to get the maid. they said they will call her, after that NO RESPONSE! nothing interesting and the rooms are TINY and with 2 uncomfortable beds and the snack bar was only opened for 2 hours. and breakfast, it’s not worth waking up for breakfast i could literally eat the breakfast the make in the hotel for DINNER!! vegetables and soup for breakfast?? everyone and i mean EVERYONE are so careless about us tourists. first time in turkey and last time. this hotel makes me NEVER wanna go back to turkey. whoever works at Golden Beach Hotel needs to know that they aren’t doing there job right! me and my family felt so filthy and unwelcomed in this hotel, don’t waste ur money on this stupid zoo-like hotel.

I first time stayed at Golden Beach Bodrum and honestly, it was not what I expected from a 4-star hotel.

The food was average at best – not terrible, but definitely not great either.

Room service was very poor – slow, unhelpful, and at times completely absent.

There was nowhere to relax – no space by the pool or the beach, everything was overcrowded.

The staff didn’t seem welcoming at all. It genuinely felt like we were not wanted there, which made the whole stay uncomfortable.

I don’t understand how this hotel has a 4-star rating. Based on my experience, it should be no more than 2 stars. If this is the standard in Turkey, it’s definitely misleading for international visitors.

Cockroaches in the rooms, filthy areas everywhere, broken sunbeds on the beach and by the pool. The bar was closed 20 minutes before official hours and today the water fridge was locked with a padlock — guests couldn’t even get drinking water!

Food is extremely poor — the same frozen ground meat at almost every meal, no fresh fruit, very low quality. The hotel is old and neglected — absolutely not renovated as claimed in the offer.

Now the place is also full of local groups — today over 100 screaming children arrived. Noise all day, dirt everywhere, no chance to relax. Staff barely speaks English and avoids contact. Internet barely works.

This is by far the worst “4-star” hotel I’ve ever been to — should be rated 2 stars at most. Total waste of money — DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!

So, first of all, if you don’t tip a generous amount from the first moment you enter the hotel it’s like you don’t exist.
We arrived in the morning and had to wait until 15:40 or so to enter the rooms, but they said at first that it would take maximum to 2 P.M.
We did not get hand soap and shampoo the entire time, even though their website said we would. Also, not enough towels, we got body towels only on one day, and only 2 of them, but the room was a triplet.
The food was kinda mid, the drinks were surprisingly good though.
The staff were on their phone all the time, but there were some good ones too (if you gave them tip, ofc).
They stop giving Ice Cream before 5, and “coffee break” is a JOKE, they give you a few wafers. Also, all coffee is the soluble tipe, Ness.
The beach was dirty and very small.
There was a guy at the bar that gave us our pepsi WITH HIS FINGERS IN THE CUP!
Turkish night was kinda fun.
Overall, it’s really not worth going, but if you have already booked your trip here don’t freak out cause you can still have fun.
Don’t even think about coming here if you’re still looking at options.

Filthy place. They should not be allowed to operate. Smelly, dirty, mouldy rooms, stale food that is re-cooked until it's finished. Horrible experience!
