The Baba hotel is rated 11 but if you look at the other hotels rated above it they have alot lower numbers of people visiting and so their score works out better BUT baba has over 100 near perfect scores so in my personal opinion that makes it the number 2 hotel to stay in at Gumbet.
On with the review now you have my view.
The Baba hotel is situated in the centre of Gumbet right next to bar street and directly on the sandy beach of Gumbet cove.
We had a top floor pool facing room and we had no problems with the noise whatsoever you can hear it slightly but it does not in anyway disturb your sleep.
The beach is just past the pool area and takes about 2 minutes to walk to from the hotel.
The rooms are what you pay for. We paid £300 each for our 2 week holiday bed and breakfast. So the flight works out to about £140 the breakfast would cost about 10 lira a day which is around £4.50 so we had a bloody brilliant deal if you ask me.
I look around very in depth before booking and after going we defo booked the right place.
The baba has a pool party on a thu evening which includes break dancers, bbq, russian revenue and belly dancing. It was fine.
If you book another hotel in the area they have very loud bars and entertainment every night till well gone 11pm so the baba worked out best for that too.
You can walk up the beach and use any of the other hotel pools and facilitys anyway whenever you like free of charge so really it doesnt matter where you book as long as you can sleep in it.
The baba offers a turkish bath which is very nice or you can take a boat trip, play snookers, enjoy a drink at the pool bar or relax for breakfast in the restaurant.
I will say the only ONE PROBLEM with baba is the breakfast it was the same everyday for 2 weeks without any change.
bland frankfurther sausages, runny scrambled egg and beans with toast or strange tasting roll things. Or the turkish breakfast which is like boiled eggs, tomatos, cucumber, black and green olives, honey, butter, choc spread, jams, tea, coffee or orange juice.
It was not good food at all but you can get a full english with all the trimmings for about 4 quid from the hotel which i thought was a bit of a **** take seeing as we paid b&b and got served the rubbish. But hey the holiday was so cheap it didnt matter cause there are many places for breakfast which sell proper english breakfasts for 2 quid ish.
The hotel is VERY clean, the drinks are strong the staff are SUPERB and so I give it top marks regardless of the breakfast.

Not long been back from the Baba and must say i was very impressed. The reception is light, bright and airy with friendly english speaking staff. There was a lot of steps to tackle to reach our designated room which was quite small and dingy and seemed out of the way (however we expressed our concerns and they moved us to the main part of the hotel the next day) This room was a lot brigher and had a nice balcony. The pool was lovely to laze around and the beach was seconds away. The staff in the Hotel make your holiday, they are super friendly, they bend over backwards for you and nothing is too much trouble. The food is OK but there are so many other nice cheap restaurants to eat in it really didnt matter, Would highly recommend The Parrot, gorgeous food!! All in all would highly recommend this Hotel as your base as it is right in the heart of it all.

i stayed at the Baba hotel ın sept 07 for 3 weeks on my own im in my early 30s. Location is great right on the beech and just at the bottom of bar street. Breakfast is turkish ie bread jams honey tomatoes cucumber cheese melon and for the not so brave there ıs also cerial and beans sausage or egg these change daily. The rooms are basic but very clean towel and bed linnen changed daily. The restaurant is nothing to shout about great in the day for snacks but not so good in the evening food is some times on the cold side. Staff are fantastic...... cant do enought for you very helpfull...you can have a real laugh with them. Most of them worked there for years so they know everything you might want to know. would stay there again.... Cant say anything better than that.

Stayed here last year and generally enjoyed the place.

Found a late deal through Travelfinger and booked immediately.

Yes somethings aren't perfect, rooms are tired, roof terrace closed, lots of stairs outside, a bit noisy at night, blah blah.

But if youre after perfect, its going to cost you a lot more than the Baba.

Its situate in well kept gardens, the food is terrific, the staff work very hard and the beach in front is very nice, and in the evening there is always something going on somewhere. Gumbet central is close.
The locals are okay, they can be a bit overbearing, but its not in your face like say, sri lanka .

All in all you cant go wrong at the Baba.
