Les Bories et Spa Reviews

This was the second time we visited this hotel and decided to stay a week… and that’s the issue. The hotel location is amazing with views overlooking the valley near Gordes. The seating location for dinner is very pleasant and food is of good quality. However there are some real failings. The only dinner offered is this gastronomie menu which is good for 1 night… after which you want to try something else. That means you have to use your car (and hence cannot drink). There are some good restaurants in Bonnieux but that’s a 30 min drive or you can walk to Gordes through the local paths and try the other 2 places (cafe style or Pizzeria). It’s a shame the hotel does not maximise the pool area. During the day there is no waiter watching out for your requests which means each time having to go and find them to order a drink. At lunch time they have a nice (normal) menu at the pool but they do not offer that menu at dinner time… shame. I am not sure we will return a 3rd time as it we really did not like the aspect of finding dinner every night. The cleaning staff however were super helpful and amazing. We had food poisoning (which we suspected was a biscuit offered with coffee around the pool), and the cleaning team offered us water / tips and kept checking in! The buildings themselves need a bit of TLC for a 5 star. Could be amazing…

The hotel has a beautiful view and is secluded enough to feel as though it's an exclusive resort. The property has plenty of surprises to find. My wife and I went walking the first evening and found a path. We followed it and it led to a "fairy trail" which we took our grandson on the following day. He had a blast and spent a lot of time out there. After that, we picked cherries directly from the tree and have never had any as good. The rooms (we had 2) were spacious enough and had large bathrooms. The toilet is in a smaller separate room with a small sink. The room-service was quick and food was good. Breakfast was plentiful and had standard European buffet fare. The indoor pool was nice, but the flooring is marble, which makes it extremely slick. There are no real negatives to the property. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to visit again if we're ever in Gordes.

Me and my friends were there as part of tour group. The whole staff very attentive, reactive and friendly. The only thing to say that my luggage was supposed to be in my room when we arrived, and the reception didn't know anything about it and I was worried. Finally, they realized it was a baggage-handler mistake my luggage that put it in another room. The cleaning was excellent and the lobby in the evening there's a fire chimney very comfortable and cozy. We dined our second night in the hotel and it was exquisite and high recommended. The restaurant managers and the waiting staff were very professionals.

I went with my husband for a wedding event. The hotel is huge and luxury. The receptionist was excellent, the young woman who hosted us explained us and gave as a tour explained with a lot of details the facilities and places and guides us to our room. The room was very clean, convenient, minimalist and high-quality beds and furniture. In that afternoon we called to the front desk for asking for an iron for preparing us for the wedding and we were told that in 5 minutes we had the iron and the iron board in our room and we waited 30 minutes. Finally, a little bald man gave us the iron but we were already late for the wedding and we get dressed rapidly without ironing. We were upset for that event as it's a 5-stars hotel and no much people when we arrived and those kind of details can make a bad impression. Overall, the rest of staff and service were conformed.

This beautiful property is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the wonderful environment that surrounds it. The amenities, gardens and views from the property are amazing. A little far from the Gordes town but they offer a free shuttle service.

We dined at the restaurant. The chef prepared delicious dishes. HOWEVER! The sommelier was very rude and our waiter insulted our intelligence with sarcastic jabs at our nationality. The wait staff started to break down the restaurant before all the tables had left. The help ruined the experience!

The staff could not have been less helpful. Very surprising for a 5 star hotel and far below our expectations.

Great location & outdoor. Staff is nice. But the looks quite old, from our point of view it is a good 4 stars but definitely not worth 5, and the price is not justified.

A hotel full of screaming children and babies. Especially the pool is more of a public pool then a 5 star hotel pool. From 9 am till 6 pm it is impossible to have a conversation there or swim or test. Screaming Children and screaming fathers everywhere. Only go as a family with small children . Terrible

Despite the beautiful location we had problems with our room power fusing 2 nights running despite us having to leave the room for 1/2 a day for them to repair, it happened again the following evening. Also the sink leaked which they just mopped up and left for it to carry on leaking. Very disappointed and guest services in terms of accommodation manager were absolutely appalling.

We had another wonderful stay. This hotel is beautiful and located just a short walk or drive from Gordes. The restaurant is excellent, the grounds are beautiful and the swimming pool a delightful place to spend an afternoon. It was a nice location for us to base ourselves while visiting the villages in the Luberon.

This is our fifth visit , such a beautiful hotel to relax and unwind. Fabulous pool and attention to detail throughout the hotel.

First of all, the location is picture-perfect! Seriously gorgeous! It is a quiet hotel. I believe our grandson was the only kid there. The pool was nice. The fairy garden was an unexpected surprise. My grandson was in heaven running through the paths and finding all the fairy trees, caves, and other secret places. He also enjoyed playing table tennis. The room itself was okay. I loved the bathroom because it had large countertops which is difficult to find in hotels these days. The shower was a bit tricky -- it took about 10 minutes to find a temperature that wasn't cold or scalding. The Nespresso maker only came with 2 pods for espresso-size cups, which was disappointing, but the cappuccino at breakfast was delicious so that made up for it. The buffet breakfast was good. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice, but the floors around the indoor pool are slick when wet! We did not use the spa facilities. The fitness center is small but adequate. We had lunch by the pool one day and the food was good. The food and drink menu are limited though.

A wonderful facility in a beautiful setting with attentive staff made for a most pleasant stay.
