    Worse Stay Ever.

    rating29 May 2026

    I would strongly advise anyone considering staying at Balaia Golf Village in Albufeira to think twice before booking.We arrived on 29th April for a one-week stay, and our experience started badly from the moment we arrived. The staff at reception were extremely unfriendly, unhelpful, and showed very little interest in assisting guests. Despite arriving on time, we were forced to wait around 8 hours before we were finally allowed access to our room, which is completely unacceptable.To make matters worse, when we tried to check in, we were informed that we had to pay a €200 deposit per person. There were five of us, meaning they wanted €1,000 in deposits before we could even begin our holiday. We later discovered that other guests weren't asked to pay any deposit at all. It appears they simply pick and choose who they charge, which is unfair and inconsistent.When we eventually got into our accommodation, the problems continued. The condition of the apartment was shocking. One of the shower heads was literally being held up on the wall with tape. TAPE. This is supposed to be a holiday resort, not a temporary construction site. There was also a lack of basic essentials such as toilet roll and towels. When we ran out, we had to walk all the way to reception and request more. Nobody ever brought them. In the end, we had to practically beg a maid who happened to be working near our room to give us some supplies.The pool areas were equally disgraceful. The water was full of dead bugs, leaves, and other debris. It was obvious that the pools were not being cleaned or maintained properly. It looked neglected and unhygienic. Children were swimming in that water and could easily have swallowed some of the dead insects and other creatures floating around. It was disgusting.Finally, the issue of the deposit was handled terribly. At checkout, we were told our deposit would be returned within a few days. A few days turned into weeks. In reality, it took an entire month before we finally received our money back. Having €1,000 tied up for that length of time after a holiday is completely unreasonable.Overall, this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we have ever had. Poor customer service, unacceptable waiting times, inconsistent deposit policies, badly maintained accommodation, dirty pool areas, and a month-long wait for our deposit refund. We will not be returning and would not recommend Balaia Golf Village to anyone.

    8 days in Balaia Golf Village

    rating24 May 2026

    Really nice apartment to myself , good aircon , nice pools , cheap food and wine/beer.15 minutes walk to nearest beach , 20 mins to main town , an hour's walk to the old town then another 30 mins from there to the marina if you want to go on a dolphin search ( I went 24.05.26 and the boat trip was rough due to the wind) The sea on all the beaches is no good for swimming as the waves and currents are strong - it is the Atlantic after all - but the beaches are nice . Lovely breeze all the time made it perfect for walking. Golf course was too expensive for me - €250 a round and €80 for club hire - but the Mateus rose at €5 a bottle compensated for that . On balance was a good trip but there was very little information about local transport - bus stops everywhere but no-one knew anything about timings , tickets or prices.

    Awful experience

    rating13 May 2026

    From the beginning, the owner was extremely rude and unhelpful. We were left waiting for over an hour before we could access the property. When we eventually got inside, we found the duvets and pillows to be in poor condition, and there wasn’t enough bedding provided for the number of guests booked. On top of that, there were ants throughout the property. Overall, the stay was very disappointing. Julien Jacquenoud, General Manager at Balaia Golf Village, responded to this review Dear 864halimas,Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. However, after reviewing our records, we were unable to identify this reservation in our system. We are therefore unsure whether this review refers to one of our managed properties or to a private owner’s reservation.Kindest regards,Ana GomesGuest Relations
