6/10 Okay

The surrounding areas are sketchy. I walked 10 minutes to the nearby beach and it was totally trash，dirty and smelly. The room is big，can host 3 people with 1 Queen size bed and 1 twin bed. The breakfast is good with a lot of selections. I enjoyed my stay overall.
Traci, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were great. We found value for the little amount of money we spent.
PATRICK, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel met the need, but it's run down (maybe it's old?), cleanliness was totally fine but in our room, we had that second toilet thing we didn't use (thankfully), but when we poured water down it, it didn't work. The shower head base was broken so we had to hold the shower to wash, the shower curtain thing also leaked. Also the AC either wasn't strong enough to keep up with the heat or not working to my standards (the boyfriend thought it was fine... I did not). Rooms also have paper thin walls, we were playing cards and our neighbour came knocking asking us to turn it down -- we were talking normal so we tried to be as quiet as we could after that. Also we figured out quick they run out of food by the 0900 crowd so we made a point to go for breakfast by 0830 or go out for breakfast. All-in... It met our needs of free parking and the mattress wasn't too bad to sleep on.
Femke, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Definitely a quiet accommodation so good if you’re looking for rest. Close to the beach and a couple restaurants and a grocery store. The front desk was super helpful, Valentina was absolutely amazing and from the moment we arrived we felt so taken care of, her energy and vibe was refreshing and she was friendly 10/10 for her!

Cezary, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The dinner and breakfast spread was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful even though most didn't really speak English but again, this is Italy, so I don't expect many to speak English.

Ulrich, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Mostly good value

Rooms are good with basic facilities, cleaning is excellent but some of the staff in reception need basic training in hospitality. No bar or restaurant service besides breakfast
Sven, 6-night trip

4/10 Poor

2 star at best

Really run down property. Got completely sunk by the photos online. Aircon only works- really badly at night. Not much to do in the area and only 3 restaurant's to choose from. Can’t say I will ever choose to return
Colin, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

good but old

Good location, large hotel car park for free, 4star only in 80s or 70s now too old fashion (furniture, lift, ....), quite small rooms, not to bad breakfast, but could be better, friendly stuff (but mostly dont speak other langugages). clean, good wifi, A/C
Josef, 7-night trip

4/10 Poor

Disappoint

I am very disappointed about Callifo Hotel, no Wifi Connect in my room during my 6 day stayed. My son stood in the corridor to get wifi connect to his tablet every day. The staff were not friendly, poor breakfast in the morning not much variety, cold coffee no tropical fruits, just basic cakes and biscuits. the bath towels stink.
Lucielane, 6-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This was probably the worst experience for myself and my child. We was bitten every night by bedbugs. My sons body is cover up in bites. I was woken with leaks in my bedroom pouring down from the ceiling to the extent I had to put a bucket and towels on the floor. Breakfast was the worst. For the 10 nights we were there. My son was unable to eat breakfast. When I complained about this, the staff was very rude and unhelpful. This hotel should be shut down. Not even a kettle for tea in the rooms or a bottle of water with glass. We practically met an empty room upon our arrival.
Francesca, 10-night trip

6/10 Okay

Our room 6 in the residence building was spacious. The bathroom was nice, plenty of towels, great water pressure in the shower, but ran out of hot water when showering easily. Ants in the clothing cabinet and also on the floor near it and near the foot of the bed. Kitchen functional, but the only frying pan was old scratched Teflon. Stove and pan not suitable for cooking steaks. Bed not very comfortable. Hot tub near the pool did not work. Appearance of hotel is that it needs updating. Staff friendly/helpful. I sent a message to the hotel through Expedia asking if they could send my husband's swim trunks to us (forgot them in the bathroom). We would gladly pay postage. No response from the hotel. Disappointed in that.
Wendy, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

I am a travel agency employee and travel worldwide to many countries. I have experienced many different hotels and their service. We travel agencies check on behalf of the organizers and also recommend the hotels. When I arrived I had been up for 36 hours and just wanted to take a shower, I was told upon arrival that the suitcases were next to me and I had to pay the bill for the room first. I gave the gentleman my credit card, but was annoyed because I had never in my life had to pay the bill immediately upon arrival. Only a few days later or at the end was actually normal. Since my credit card is secured with my bank and I receive a code on my cell phone to activate the amount, it didn't work because my cell phone couldn't yet connect to the Italian network. The gentleman didn't understand me because I didn't speak Italian and he didn't speak English well. Normally you also enter your ID number, but he tried about 6 times. I gave him my bank card, which is valid throughout Europe, but no, it is not accepted. He kept trying the credit card. I just thought the card would be blocked immediately. A colleague then told him that the bank card would also work. After the debit I was allowed to enter the room. I was extremely angry because I had never experienced anything like this before. Doesn't make a good impression either. The room was cleaned every day, but every now and then they forgot to leave me shower towels. I then got it at reception. The two toilet paper rolls were jus

Dommage que cet établissement est retiré du centre.. Dommage qu’il faut traversé l’accueil pour accéder à la piscine. L’isolation est médiocre = on entant tout ce qu’il se passe dans les couloirs, à l’étage et dès que les agents font le ménage.. L’agent d’accueil de nuit nous a bien à guider et renseigner sur notre séjour dans l’établissement.
