Madda Hotel

We hastily booked 4 nights at this hotel back in January as we had a family wedding in an adjacent hotel. In hindsight the unrefundable status should have been a warning. However the top rated status it has on trip advisor was, falsely as it turned out, reassuring. Having stayed at 3 other excellent hotels in Turkey( two in Bodrum, see my other reviews)at the same, or lower, prices I can only say I was appalled by the Madda. The "front office" comprised of two grubby chairs and a table where we were informed that coffee with breakfast involved an extra charge and we could choose how we liked our egg to be cooked. The "suite" seemed to be the upper part of the house and comprised two small rooms with short beds, frayed bases, and a single light blanket for a cover. The bathroom was small, dark and basic. The beach deck furnishings are nothing like those pictured in the reviews. There are no white day beds or grass roofs at the Madda, just well used lounge chairs and frayed umbrellas. However, nor was there anyone really using them. As the only person partaking of breakfast I can say the quiet and the view are lovely but cannot compensate for the poor quality of this converted house /"hotel" at the prices charged. Fortunately as part of a large wedding group we were able to cut our losses and move to another hotel with lovely views, spacious rooms, large pools, and a marvelous breakfast spread with unlimited free coffee for less money, and continue to enjoy our stay in beautiful Bodrum which has so much to offer. I have no hopes of reclaiming the money we spent on the Madda but will avoid unrefundable properties in the future and have learned to be careful about what the pictures suggest.

Otelin sahibi Ziya bey ve Eşi Hayriye hanıma tüm beklentilerimizi karşılayan bu harika tatil için teşekkür ederiz. Harika kahvaltı, tertemiz odalar, işini severek yapan personel, tertemiz deniz daha ne istenir.

The location and the staff were amazing, no problem was too small or too big, would definitely recommend.

Lovely place by the sea. Smiling and helpfull staff.

The owners were absolutely the greatest people. Our room was like a "villa" on the water! The meals were great. It is a place where you can really forget about the world and enjoy the sound of the waves. No crowds to worry about...Just a splendid and peaceful place to rest, enjoy and be happy and be yourself...Highly recommended.

Amazing. A genuine owner, and hospitable.

Çok memnun kaldığımız bu tatil deneyimini sizlerle paylaşmak isterim. İsletmecilerin ve çalışanlarının ilgisi , samimiyeti yanı sıra sakin ve kalabalıktan uzak bir tatil için ideal bir tesis. Her açıdan fiyat performansı çok iyi. Hayriye hanım ve Ziya bey her konuda titizlenen ve müşteri degil misafir gibi gören samimi işletmeciler. Sakin , sorunsuz ve steril bir tatil için kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Müdavimi olacağımızı düşündüğüm bu tesise yolunuz düşerse mutlaka uğrayın. Sağlıklı günler.

One of our favourites. Had a super holiday with excellent staff, wonderful hosting. Prices are affordable, Pier and the sunset are outstanding. With the hospitality of Mr.Ziya and Mrs. Hayriye you will feel like home. Hope to see you again
