Staff were great. We found value for the little amount of money we spent.

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

We arrived at the hotel, the parking area outside had cracked pots lying about. Upon entering the reception area it was clean and fairly modern, misleading us to believe that our room would mirror this. We were given the key, then first red flag should have been the lift area, literally writing on the wall. Tiny and again dated. 2nd floor apartment, we entered, it was noisy and very dated. Metal ceiling panels with the air conditioner right above it. Noise was unbearable. Bathroom, cracked sink and shower curtain that obviously liked the feel of skin! Waant rhe cleanest curtain either. The hairdryer wouldn't even blow a cobweb never mind your hair! The shower leaked. Bedroom, two twin beds one sheet one pillow. We had to request extra linen and pillows. An old tv wall mount for the larger 1980's style tv with a tiny flat screen plonked on top, which was so high picture wasn't worth having. Not enough plugs, no kettle or cups, the facilities were shocking. The shutter on balcony kept falling down with a heavy thud. Balcony, no furniture to sit on. Not as described regarding hotel offering. No pool music, no atmosphere, no pool bar despite being mentioned, you had to get dressed and walk back up stairs to go to the cafe section in hotel. If you were lucky enough to find a member of staff to serve you. No pool bbqs at all. The pool was dirty. The blue tiles in pool taking on a lovely beige colour and the pool wasn't once netted and debris removed.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Overall the hotel is acceptable.

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.

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

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

Nice apartment, sadly the kitchen lacked an oven.
Incredible value for money although there was little to do in the area and a hired car was needed.

The front desk greeted us and immediately shouted our room # by hand I f us the key. If this would happen in the US, the clerk would have been fired in the spot. You never ever Disclose a room # in public. This hotel is NOT a 4 star hotel. Get your facts right Expedia

The Califfo is a little dated in the bedrooms and basic but value for money. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and speak good English. The plumbing seems to be struggling as the toilets keep refilling unless the flush is forced back into position. We had a TV, safe and fridge in the room which was useful as there's a couple of supermarkets within walking distance and the food and drinks are very cheap. We just had breakfast at the hotel, which was continental and fresh coffees could be ordered from the bar as the urn option wasn't great. I'm Gluten free, so was provided with a basket with a variety of GF crackers, toasts and muffins each morning. To see the better parts of Sardinia you'll need a car if staying here or use the bus system which is actually simple to negotiate, particularly with the use of Google Maps and the hotel staff, as well as being excellent value. Short trips need a ticket buying in advance from the kiosk near the pharmacy across the road from the hotel, but longer trip tickets can be purchased directly from the driver.
The pool area is lovely. Unfortunately the jacuzzi wasn't in action when we were there. Wifi was provided, but not great.

I like the efficience and cordiality. The clean of the room is top.

The hotel itself was fine and the staff were very good and very helpful, it's biggest problem was it's location. It wasn't near the beach or the town, in fact it was near nowhere. The only plus part about it's location was the fact it had a bus stop right outside the hotel to take you somewhere where the was something to do. The menu was limited and quite expensive and only one restuarant across the (busy) road to eat. Pool and surround nice, wi-fi very good, bar area- not too good.
Although a very nice hotel, we wouldn't stay there again - sorry :(

hotel nice,food expensive and not too good for what you pay.Poolside very nice and clean.Room clean, good view as we faced the bay from balcony, not all rooms have a balcony.

Very nice hotel with great proximity to the beaches. Also couple minutes from town where you can dine. Hotel is a bit outdated but this is really no issue given it is the overall positive qualities.

Our stay in The Califfo was for a visit to my terminally ill friend. I know the area well and can say with confidence that if you are staying at any hotel in the vicinity, you need a car as the bus services are only every half an hour and may not get you to where you ant to be. Restaurants are dotted along the villasimius road and you need the vehicle to get to them. I recommend the Clipper. The Califfo was clean, tidy and well presented. The staff speak fluent English and were polite, friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel has a lovely pool which provides much cooling if the weather is hot. Breakfast is a continental breakfast, so do not expect a full English. Top Tip, ask the waiter for coffee and do not use it out of the urn.

We arrived late at night owing to time of flight - the hotel was accomodating with this (thankfully!) The night manager unfortunately sent us up the wrong staircase for our room - if we werent so tired would have figured it out but a Fawlty Towers style episode followed.Eventually got to our room and had a good nights sleep.The facilities were basic (particularly the shower) but everything was nice and clean.Staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the breakfast.

I would not stay again. Outdated hotel that is too far from the city centre. The closest beach is not the nicest beach (you need a car / book a tour to get to the beautiful beaches) and one member of the hotel staff was notably unhelpful / had an attitude problem.

Ended up leaving after a few hours as it was really not as expected unfortunately. Not a great reception from staff, raised eyebrows and annoyed expression that I couldn't speak Italian; hotel is very dated and quite dingy, and the room was disappointing, dated with sewage smell from the bath and remnants of vomit re-surfacing in the sink. Pool area was run down, no bar or refreshments available outside, and a group of about 30 kids appeared in the mid-afternoon taking over the place, playing football & games and generally being very kid-like and loud so even just lying out in the sun was a challenge in the end. Location very remote, nothing to do in the area, quite industrial. Found another hotel and left; wasn't offered refund.
