The hotel has a perfect location. The wellness was very good, not too corwded. The wine bar was excellent within the hotel with more than 100 extraordinary local wines. The hotel room was quite large but average quality, but the terrace was huge and very good. The catering was also average. Hableány restaurant is situated oppisite to the hotel, operated by Laposa winery, if you go here you must try it!
Bonvino is a family friendly Hotel right in the center of Badacsony. We received a cot on request and the restaurant had high chairs available. There is also cutlery for the kids and a dedicated play area for the children. The pool in the spa has a separated area with knee-deep water for the little ones. During our stay the sauna was in maintenance. What a pity! We were happy with the breakfast buffet: an abundance of bakery products, home-made jams, cold cuts, cheese some hot items (Vienna sausage, and omelet). I missed some healthier options such as porridge, muesli and nuts. The fruit basket was very small and the items in it were not appetizing. Dinner buffet was okay, the starters had quite a lot of imagination: salads, spreads, finger food. The mains were a bit boring and pork was in excess. In fact no goose was offered on Saint Martin’s Day at all. Rooms are ok, albeit a bit small for an energetic toddler. We heard a constant whirring / buzzing sound during the night. Perhaps it came for some heating pipes, or the A/C in the neighboring room was running all night. The staff was very friendly in all areas of the hotel.
Dear Audreyka,
Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you also for your suggestions for improvement! Looking forward to welcome you again! Kind Regards, Peter Torok
We’ve really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much for making us feel so welcome.
The staff are lovely and polite, rooms were well maintained and great and we definitely loved getting back to our room having the AC on in this summer heat.
We had a swim in the pool every morning (and some evenings) — if you don’t have a child, you’ll love to know that they hold “quiet hours” at the pool when no kids under 14 can access the wellness area. We’ve also had a massage each that made us feel so relaxed.
As the guests of Bonvino, we were given a voucher to have a small wine tasting at the Fata Vineyard that we both enjoyed - we definitely recommend this - do eat at the Fata restaurant too as the food is lush.
We came to Badacsony to relax and drink wine, we left feeling relaxed and with 7 bottles of wine in our luggage (already trying to figure out how to deal with our baggage restrictions at the airport).
We hope that we’ll be able to come back.
Dear norad406,
Thank you for htis lovely review, we are so glad you had a great time with us. I hope you managed the wines at the airport! :)
Looking forward to wecome you again soon!
Kind Regards,
Peter Torok
We were here for the second time as the hotel and food are above the average niveau around lake Balaton - if you think of a reasonable price and service quality. Unfortunately.
The team at the dinner offered us an empty hangar to sit and have our meal. A lifeless room with no people in it. Of course we did not take it and have another chance in the room where all the other guests were. The answer and the discussion was short:
Oh we are sorry, we can not put together two tables as so many people comes from rooms with two.
I guess they are more important than us. So, we were on our holiday, sitting at two tables, meanwhile this room itself was as well half empty. Further on, funny, the lady with whom I had the discussion before and had seen the situation treated us as two separate family. Annoying.
Dear dr. Korcsik József,
Thank you for copying your previously posted review to Tripadvisor as well. Please allow me to do the same with our response:
We are really sorry to hear that our hangar was empty upon your arrival, we had to send out our plane on a special mission to find and locate some empathy towards hospitality workers. As our restaurant staff was getting ready to welcome our dinner guests they directed you to a table fit to accomodate you and your family. As you disliked that option they asked your kind patience for a couple of minutes until an other table of four is becoming available, but your preferred option was to sit to two separate tables. For the next morning our colleagues made sure to reserve a table of four just for you (so, we did not let the more important guests to sit there). Üdvözlettel, Török Péter
Spent 2 nights here recently. The rooms are okay, nice that most have semi-private outdoor area/terrace and the beds are comfortable. Hotel itself is small and fairly average for the Balaton in this price range. Buffet breakfast was definitely above average with very nice selection of traditional cured-meats - way beyond what I've seen anywhere in Hungary. They have small wellness area but 'SPA' is a bit of a stretch. No outdoor pool, but close to the beach which is great and also bars/restaurants and many wineries via 'shuttle' or short drive. Good wifi and free parking onsite.
