Faros Hotel Bodrum - Special Category

I’ve traveled extensively—over 90 countries—and this was, without question, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Not just because of the issue itself, but because of how management handled it: with complete disregard, as if guests are disposable. When I checked in at 2:00 a.m., I walked into a room with a broken sewage pipe in the bathroom. The smell was overpowering. The bellboy clearly knew something was wrong—he opened the patio doors and handed me an aerosol spray to mask the stench. That was their solution: cover it up and hope I wouldn't complain. By 6:30 a.m., I was in the hotel lobby, exhausted and disgusted. I was told no new room would be available until noon. Then, magically, two hours later, a room “became available.” That room was likely empty the whole time—they just didn’t care. I asked the front desk and later ******* to at least comp the night. The hotel’s response? A flat “no.” No apology. No empathy. No attempt to make it right. This place is clearly a profit machine for the owner, who seems to know that in high season, tourists are just numbers. They’ll churn through new guests tomorrow, so why bother solving problems today? It’s a volume game for them—pack them in, take the money, move on. Bottom line: this is not hospitality—it’s exploitation. There are many places to stay, even in peak season. Do yourself a favor and choose a hotel where the owner and management actually cares.

Everything was great. The rooms were very clean. The receptionist Beyza and her manager Izzet were very kind and friendly. There were many workers that can speak many languages.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I recommend to everyone this nice hotel

We stayed at Faros Bodrum for two weeks and absolutely loved the experience. Great location with the most exclusive and beautiful crystal clear sea in the Bodrum peninsula. Hotel team from General Manager Huseyin, Guest Relations Manager Nihal, F&B Manager Hamdi to housekeeping, reception, kitchen, maintenance and food & beverage teams were absolutely amazing with their customer service. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable and relaxing.

Perfect spot to relax and do nothing on the beach This hotel is amazing! When you check in it looks unassuming but just wait until you see their beach front area! Just simply gorgeous and breathtaking! The staff are super friendly and always greeted us with smiles! We felt very well taken care of and very welcoming!

Overall our stay at Faros was great. The location is ideal, located on the beachside and close to places like turkbuku pier. The hotel staff treated us well and were attentive to our needs, especially Mehmet and Isa they both made sure our needs were met and made our stay enjoyable. The hotel manager was especially accomodating Ms emre, checking in with us daily to ensure we are happy.
