OMG! What a terrible hotel. It’s supposed to be 5* luxury and I would compare it to a low quality 4*. Steps are unsafe and balcony is loose. Place is dirty. Drinks and food are ridiculously overpriced at 21euro for a standard cocktail. Staff are nice and trying to stay positive in a hotel that’s needs closing down and refurbishing. Kempinski should be ashamed of themselves for operating this hotel and they have lost a customer forever. I expect to receive a placating reply on trip advisor from the manager who didn’t meet even with us last night to discuss our concerns.

I have written to Kempinski Head Office to inform them of my safety concerns and also of the dilapidated state of the hotel. It is a embarrassment to the Kempinski Brand and should be closed. I do not exaggerate. We booked for nights and it was so bad we offered to leave within an hour and pay 50% of the fee. They refused. It seems they are so desperate to retain the cash and use the pretext of non cancellable agreement. Oh Dear Kempinski. Do not trust what you read or the photographs you will see as they are misleading. I will be uploading videos throughout the day until I finally leave starting with the broken steps leading from the beach to an unguarded balcony and a rusty kettle and loose balcony. Staff have said quietly that they expect to be closed or lose the Kempinski brand very soon but in the meantime it seems the company is happy to keep taking money for a seriously deficient service. I will never use the Kempinski brand in any country ever again.

We would like to thank the management and all the staff for our delightful stay and wonderful hospitality in this magical hotel. I was the Finance Director of the IberOtel chain in the 90s. Until the mid-2000s, I must have stayed in dozens of hotels, as I was constantly traveling back and forth abroad. However, this dreamy hotel was undoubtedly the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in... The elegance you can feel in every corner of the hotel, the attention to detail, the incredible comfort and of course the magical view from the rooms. The bay in which it is located is a paradise. Probably one of the most beautiful seas in Turkey and a beach that you can't bear to leave in the evening... The friendliness and kindness of the staff is indescribable. We felt like guests of a family. We had dinner at Saigon Asian Cuisine. It was hard to choose between those authentic flavors. They were all incredibly delicious. We will miss you all winter and we will definitely see you again at the first opportunity.

Booked 4 nights but checked immediately after 1st night. Very old place, no renovation for more than 10/15 years, lack of management and serious hygienic & security matters , far from everything ... it’s a big trap !!! avoid food as what we ordered for meal & breakfast below any standards !! How can we provide 5* to this catastrophic place... Beach is very far from hotel, sunbed dirties, lack of cleaning & most of facilities are closed ... very poor service from front office, food & beverage, etc... There is a serious doubt regarding reviews so I would not recommend this place and any agent that will recommend it will not be liable !! We wanted to check kempinski standards and definitely would never recommend to anyone to host there ... It’s time to close this place until it is really upgraded and management changed.

This is by far the best hotel I've stayed I'm and because of the level of amazing service provided by Sonur, Mustafa front of house and Aynur at breakfast as well as the whole,team I will now,stay in Kempinski everywhere I go. They looked after me and my wife so well, after going to bodrum 5 times I will now only stay at Kempinski. The views are incredible and among the best if not the best, the beach is pristine clear turquoise waters, the rooms are spacious with balcony and incredible views and the restaurants and the food is among the best in had. Breakfast spread was amazing and the level of service I haven't seen anywhere Once again thank you for making me feel like a valuable member and I always be coming back to Kempinski Barbaros Bay.

Very satisfied; kind staff, good service, excellent location, beautiful rooms with amazing views. Kitchen also trying their bests, using quality ingredients both in Turkish and international cuisine. We’ve been staying since from the beginning, starting 2006 nearly every year, and looking forward to go there again. I hope it will not get effected from the newly constructed residential compound on the same bay.

Wonderful staff - Charlie who ran the main restaurant was a particular star with everything, the Concierge team sorted everything we needed so well. Vural our driver was also brilliant in being so experienced we felt like the many A-List Hollywood stars he's looked after in the past! Hotel was peaceful, and beach, pools and rooms lovely. Very high quality and precious time my wife and I spent there - a great find. Given Bodrum is very expensive represented good value for money too.

Comfortable luxury, beautiful resort and wonderful staff, especially Meryem with house keeping. She is a lovely, always smiling lady who made our stay extra special. The grounds are very well kept, the beach was so relaxing, easy to find to lounging chairs, and pools are refreshing. Decent sized gym and indoor pool too
