Guest reviews
Exceptional
Lovely hotel and spa but some improvements are needed
Liked: Exceptional breakfast with excellent service. Beautifully kept gardens. Spa was an exceptional extra. I had a wonderful massage, worth every penny. Pool was amazing. Sunbeds were extremely comfortable, important for more mature guests. Pool bar service was excellent and Pool snack food was really good,very good portion sizes. The cave bar was a really nice experience also does light food options but we weren't told this on check in, which we should have been. We booked a superior room, very spacious and very close to everything but not literally on top of everything! Excellent buggy service. Nice extra touch with the free entrance to Negomba beach and thermal spa just mins away by car or shuttle. All staff very polite indeed!
Disliked: Mattress in room was too firm,needs a review for a mid range medium firm perhaps? The evening meal in the restaurant was not good at all, menu needs to have many more traditional food choices on it. The current menu is too far towards fine dining, so it is not appealing to everyone. We ordered steak off the specials but the accompanying sauces were awful, butter separated! They have another vegan only Michelin 1 star restaurant which we couldn't understand why it wasn't a fish restaurant with a full vegan menu option, as this would have provided a 2nd dining option for guests? The restaurant serving traditional dishes on the hill, ie ischian rabbit was only open 1 evening per week not available for us on the dates of our stay. It was open for lunch though so it seemed odd not open for dinner?? Pool toilets need a sanitary bin to be provided. Finally my birthday was not acknowledged until the following morning, which we thought was very bad as we had messaged in advance that it was my birthday and they saw my passport on check in, which was my actual birthday. The following morning I was handed a pastry with 1 candle by our breakfast waiter!!
Stunning gardens in ischia
Liked: We loved the room the pool and the staff!!
Disliked: Small issues that need maintenance upkeep
A Five-Star Hotel Should Feel Safe
Liked: Dear Botania Relais & Spa Team, I had genuinely hoped to write a five-star review after our stay. Your hotel is beautiful. The gardens, the atmosphere, the restaurant, and most importantly the people who work there made our holiday very special. I would especially like to thank Nico and the entire restaurant team for their kindness and professionalism. I would also like to mention the second driver who welcomed us on Ischia—he was courteous, professional, and represented the level of hospitality we expected from Botania. Unfortunately, one experience changed our overall impression. We chose to book our transfer through the hotel, even though our previous hotel’s concierge in Rome could easily have arranged the same journey. We chose Botania because we believed that a transfer organized by a five-star hotel would reflect the same standards of service, professionalism, and, above all, safety. Instead, the driver arrived almost an hour late, spoke to me rudely, refused to help with our luggage, saying, “I’m a driver, Madam, not a porter,” and then drove so aggressively that, for the first time during our entire trip to Italy, we did not feel safe. Later, my daughter told me that she had spent the journey praying that we would arrive safely. After arriving at the hotel, I immediately informed your staff about what had happened. I was told that the driver belonged to an external transportation company and that the management would contact me the following day. No one did. The day before our departure, I raised the matter again myself. However, the conversation with Resident Manager Anna De Siano only took place during our check-out. What disappointed me most was not the driver’s behaviour, but the way the situation was handled afterwards. At no point did I feel that anyone was genuinely interested in understanding what had happened or how it had affected us. The discussion quickly focused on offering a €40 discount on a transfer that had cost approximately €290. For me, this was never about money. I simply hoped for a sincere conversation, an acknowledgement that what happened was unacceptable, and an understanding that when a guest books a service through a five-star hotel, that guest places trust in the hotel itself, regardless of whether the service is provided by an external company. Mistakes can happen anywhere. What defines true hospitality is how those mistakes are handled.
A deep exhale of pure bliss
Liked: The grounds are breathtaking. Food & drinks were fantastic - along with the included breakfast, phenomenal. The pool outdoors as well as the spa facilities were excellent. Staff was incredibly attentive via WhatsApp, upgraded us to a spectacular room, and helped arrange everything from transport to reservations and more.
Disliked: Some of the pools were less attended to - the natural thermal pools specifically. The shuttle was convenient but did run irregular customized schedules vs a reliable fixed schedule. There’s pros and cons for both! It was still a gracious convenience to have a shuttle at all.
Definetly luxury resort withing a botanical setting
Liked: It's an exceptional establishment - it's quiet - refined - it's extreme high quality.. Only tried the breakfast reastuarant and the snack bar, but was nice.
Disliked: They have a shuttle or you can walk, but the beach is a 10m walk roughly. frankly the only blemish.
Charming ischia luxury
Liked: Upscale, lovely hotel with a sprawling layout and lots of charming common areas, such as the stunning bar and pool areas. Our room was elegant in an Italian coastal chic kind of way and it was spacious and luxurious in its design. Service was incredibly friendly and just outstanding in the most earnest way possible. Loved the breakfast, the drinks and casual pool side dining, Few notes - shuttle is great but hotel is not super walkable to off site dinner etc (taxis are easy but pricey). Its an incredible property with hills, etc, so while they do their best to get people around with golf carts on request, i would not go out of my way to recommend to anyone with mobility issues. Food was generally great but our on site dinner was not our best meal ( pool side restaurant not the fine dining option). Overall - outstanding and unique expirience that i would love to return to!
