Wolkendorf Bio Hotel & Spa

One day before the booked arrival date, we were informed by the hotel that our room wasn’t going to be available due to “water damage”. We stayed with local friends for that one night and checked in the following day. During the stay we found that the hotel had been overbooked and that the “water damage “ was a pure excuse. Despite multiple confirmations by the hotel’s management and several reminders, we never received the credit for the first night for the room, although we had paid the amount due for the entire stay in advance. Neither did we get any response from the hotel management when sending reminders! Therefore we warn anyone who’s considering this hotel, in particular, do NOT pay in advance!

Excepting the location and part of the facilities our experience with this hotel was bad. After the 1st night in this hotel some guest start having digestive problems. Soon we were in the same situation. We've been with our 2 years old kid twice to the emergency room and had dificulties in leaving the location as his medical condition was not good. Our vacantion was ruined. We moved to a different hotel in the region but my little boy and my husband were feeling bad and we had to rest in the room. After 3 days of vomiting we are strugeling in returning home and driving in this medical condition. The spinach served in the salad was full of sand as it was not washed, we asked for a topper to put it over the bed ( at order and at the location also) but was never provided, cleaning in the room was not ensured during the entire stay. BioHotel name is not aligned with reality, they must take in serious the need of ensuring health and safety standards for the future.

I recently stayed here, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. While the location and rooms were decent, several issues left me disappointed. Unprofessional Staff: The hotel staff’s behavior was unacceptably rude. The receptionist seemed disinterested, and the waitstaff appeared to work reluctantly. It felt as though they prioritized tips over genuine guest satisfaction. Facilities: The heated pool was tiny, suitable only for very young children. As a family-friendly hotel, it should provide amenities that cater to guests of all ages. Overall Impression: Given the four-star rating, I expected better. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism and subpar facilities overshadowed any positives. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes necessary improvements. As a paying guest, I deserved a better experience.

Good points: buildings, playground, room, outside facilities, good breakfast Awful points: did not receive the adjacent rooms I was confirmed for, I waited for 5 hours and after talking to the manager several times and being asked for explanations all over again why I need 2 rooms close together, why I cannot take other rooms, why do I sleep like that with my child etc they said that they already checked in everyone else and have no other rooms. I insisted and eventually they found the rooms I was confirmed for. I moved my luggage twice during this time and stayed with my small child outside and with other people. I payed for 2 rooms, received only 1 bottle of complementary wine. My room was full of hairs everywhere on the bed and bathroom, very dirty, I can share pictures. Most of the bicycles outside that the guests can use are broken and cannot be used. If activities are organised by the hotel, you have to ask several times for info, we missed the ice cream, evening food like that Incredibly dangerous situation: at night the power went down several times, you cannot enter the room because it is unlocked with card (electrical). I was locked outside and waited until the power came again to go in. In the morning, I signaled the situation, they said that they have a generator, but it has to be jumpstarted manually, fuel must be added etc, very complicated. If someone is sick in the rooms and the power goes out, the only way to go in is to either break the door or search for a separate physical key at the reception (which they did not know if it was the good one for 1 of my rooms the next morning). I requested the physical keys with me also and had them the rest of my stay.

Very bad experience. Not recommended The stuff that works in the restaurant has a bad attitude, not willing to serve the guests properly. Thr hygiene standards in the rooms are very low. Both rooms were full of ants... The hotel is not taken care of, left to decay. The parking has a fee for about 3.5€ per day, where you will leave your car unguarded next to a road. The manager is not willing to talk to the guests and find solutions for the encountered issues. A very bad experience. Don t let the presentation photos fool you.

Great place. Great accomodation .Surrounded by woods .Gourmet restaurant Thank you Adrian the restaurant stindard! Thank you Adrian!Exquisite service! Thank you Bianca and Flavius from sauna!We willcome back again in winter for sure !

Water from all tanks/mini-pools at spa was cold, we couldn't get into the water. The fire in the fireplace was not working due to another malfunction. And their hotel policy isn't very guest-friendly....at least breakfast was good, with many traditional dishes.

Even if the weather didn't cooperate with us, we had peace and good food. We definitely want to come back in the summer. Reasonable breakfast, and compared to Sinaia the food prices are very good. Many interesting things, a pontoon over a lake, playground for children, a tree house, bicycles for rent, campfire.

Pros Beautiful peaceful quiet rural setting. Very good food. Friendly helpful staff, except see below. Spa: relaxation room with complimentary water, tea, and apples, and salt room. Parquet floor and traditional painted furniture in room. Cons Paying for parking and then walking out to the road on icy footpaths and back into the hotel with our luggage. I suggest if the management/owner hasn't tried, that he/she attempt to negotiate with the neighbor who runs the parking lot to build a gate for hotel clients to get to and from the parking lot. When we entered our room, my wife noticed that there was only one set of towels - for one person. I went to the front desk. The lady told me they would bring it up to the room. After my wife took a shower; and it was my turn, I waited 45 minutes. Finally I went back to the front desk. This time, the front desk lady walked about 4 yards to retrieve the towels and gave them to me (why couldn't she do that the first time??!!) I never got an explanation for this annoying inconvenience. When I complained, the front desk woman (I never got her name) told me that the manager would call me. He/she didn't call. The refrigerator in the room did not work. We don't like doorless shower stalls. RE: spa The steam room was too hot; and the water coming out of the hose was SCALDING hot!! My wife actually suffered a burn from trying to use it. The jacuzzi jets in the warm pool did not work. We asked 3 times. We were told that they go on automatically; but we spent 3 - 4 hours in the spa every day, and never saw them turn on. It is hard to imagine a spa without some bubbles! For some reason they turned off the ice machine when we were there; and we had to ask them to turn it on… No response from management to this review.
