Positives

Well-groomed territory, cleanliness in the room, naftalan baths, Nadina’s work

Negatives

The food is not at all like a sanatorium: for 2 weeks there was only rice and semolina porridge (although they asked the administrator for oatmeal, rolled oats), constant fried sausages, cottage cheese periodically disappeared.

This is our first time at this place and we really liked the treatment and the attitude of the staff. The rooms are comfortable, clean, with a balcony. The food is excellent. The chef came out to us and offered us the opportunity to express our preferences. The medical staff is excellent, especially the charming, hospitable Leman Xanim. Convenient relaxation area in a spa treatment complex. Excursions to beautiful nearby places were offered.

It was a wonderful vacation. I wanted peace, quiet, relaxation. I got it. The hotel was filled to a minimum. Treatment was received. The main thing was naphthalene. Full immersion baths. I wait a month after the course (10 baths). Afterwards I will be able to evaluate the result. Today, the skin of the body is silk. The nails are stronger. The problem was the shoulder. I can report that the pain has become different. The hotel is wonderful. Sometimes I caught myself thinking that I’m in Europe. In the spring, there’s a high probability that I’ll go again.

Negatives

Cons: no coffee in the morning. Only instant coffee in a jar. But you can pay extra for it. order and bring it from the bar. There is not enough fish. If they give it, then the pengasius is Chinese. For two weeks, I had steamed trout a couple of times. And if the hotel presents itself as 4*-5*. There should be some kind of “noble” for breakfast cheese. And not the two “sweating” types.

It is not clear why, when checking into the sanatorium, there is no check for COVİD 19. I did not receive a clear answer to my question

Negatives

The promised buffet was not there, allegedly because of the pandemic, but you need to warn about it. Half of the doctors were also not there for the same reason. The waiters worked poorly. But all this did not affect the payment and accommodation in the sanatorium. They took the money as if everything was working for full force

We rested in the sanatorium from March 19, 2020 to March 26. We were satisfied with almost everything. In December this year we will come for treatment and relaxation again, we have already booked trips! Good welcome, wonderful medical staff, the cooks are just magicians! Large, beautiful, well-groomed area adjacent to sanatorium. We are delighted and very pleased with our stay!

Negatives

There is only one negative and it has nothing to do with the sanatorium.... Due to the coronavirus, the sanatorium was closed for quarantine and we had to leave before our voucher expired.

Our stay at the Karabakh sanatorium was wonderful! I liked everything very much, the comfort of living, the organization of treatment, food. I would like to note the convenience of organizing treatment and the work of managers directly in the treatment room. It is very convenient, you can relax and wait for the next procedure, the boys are very attentive, they remind, guide and, if necessary, adjust the schedule. The food is excellent, the cooks are simply artists, everything is so beautifully decorated and served, especially salads and desserts. the waiters quickly clear the tables and even help bring tea, coffee, etc. Everyone in the hotel is attentive, friendly, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. A small request: the menu is dominated by fried meat and fish. Considering the contingent of vacationers, I would like to see more hot dishes with gentle heat treatment. One option of the dietary menu is clearly for very “dietists”; for lovers of kebabs and strong frying, you can leave one grill option, and for the majority of older vacationers, something softer. The only thing is that there are a few What marred our arrival was the free transfer from Baku to Naftalan, which we had to wait at the airport for two hours. After the flight, it was tiring. otherwise everything was fine. Thanks to all the staff of the Karabakh Hotel.

Positives

Attentive attitude of all staff on all issues. Good, fairly varied food: vegetables, fruits, desserts. Well-groomed, large park area, conducive to walks and sports. I consider this opinion quite objective, comparing “Karabakh” with sanatoriums in Karlovy Vary, Essentuki , hotels in Hainan and others.

Negatives

The disadvantages include the predominance of fried meat and fish dishes over steamed, boiled and stewed ones.

Positives

1. The sanatorium corresponds, with a stretch, to 5 stars. 2. Friendly staff. 3. Beautiful, well-groomed area.

Negatives

I can't say anything bad about the resort. When booking on the resource https://www.sanatoriums.com/, there is no clear understanding of the provision of a transfer. The transfer from Heydar Aliyev Airport was provided free of charge, that is, the cost is included in the booking price. From the Sanatorium to Heydar Aliyev Airport you have to pay extra for the transfer. In my opinion, it is necessary to remove the transfer from the booking, reducing the cost of the booking accordingly by the cost of the transfer from the airport.

Very good food and accommodation.

Negatives

The package of medical procedures has been shortened. There are procedures that are not recommended at all when taking naphthalan baths (water procedures). And it is impossible to replace them. Therefore, you simply do not take them, but these procedures are included in the price of the voucher. We were put in a room with one bed. We had to ask for a second one bed. The time for procedures is not respected, it is a first-come, first-served basis. This is very inconvenient, you spend a lot of time in queues, but you want to walk around the beautiful hotel grounds.

Уважаемая Екатерина Шлыкова! При оформлении бронирования, количество процедур входит в стоимость. Процедуры назначает врач, учитывая жалобы и пожелания клиента. Ваше пожелание дополнительной кровати было выполнено сразу после обращения. Мы ежедневно работаем над улучшением сервиса в нашем отеле, надеемся что в следующий ваш визит останутся только положительные впечатления

Positives

I liked almost everything. We plan to come again. I will recommend this resort to other people.

Negatives

Very insufficient attention to patients from senior medical personnel (attending doctors). This is visible both at the first appointment and throughout the entire treatment. Also, at the end of the patient’s treatment, there is no mandatory appointment with the attending physician, i.e. there is no interest in the dynamics of treatment with prescribed procedures. The attending physician must know what happened before and what happened after. This is obvious, but there is no such thing. And this worries almost everyone a lot. As for the junior medical staff, they do an excellent job.

I really liked everything - the food, the treatment, the massage (for an additional cost), and the excursion to Tbilisi from the sanatorium. The resort is absolutely worth the money.

Negatives

There was one negative. We ordered a transfer to Baku from the sanatorium. The driver did not at all correspond to the level of the hotel and the cost of the transfer - all the way to Baku he talked on the phone and gnawed on sunflower seeds. After all, it's not just unsightly, but also safe on the road. This was a small fly in the ointment at the end of the holiday...

The holiday was a success! The territory of the sanatorium is good. The rooms are clean and spacious. Linen is changed frequently. All accessories are included.

Negatives

When carrying out treatment procedures, the staff does not comply with the time prescribed by them. Locals are allowed out of line. There is no order. It's very annoying. Scandals often arise because of this. There is no entertainment at all.

Very beautiful area, comfortable accommodation, beautiful hotel, food is a huge plus. The cuisine is varied, everything is very tasty. The staff is courteous and attentive. The treatment is not bad.

Negatives

There are few cons. Relating to leisure. The sanatorium has a cinema. And every day you can watch a movie there. Although more than half of vacationers do not know about this. T.K. information is not conveyed to vacationers. They don’t invite you to the cinema and no one knows what film is in the cinema today. It is not always possible to play table tennis in the evening, because... There is only one table and it gets busy. In the evening there are entertainment programs, quite good, you won’t get bored. However, animation also needs to be worked on and make entertainment more interesting and lively

Nice Hotel good treatment food excellent dishes varied territory well maintained pool clean fashionable to go to this sanatorium and enjoy your vacation

Negatives

In the spa area, the indoor pool is dirty and in the bathhouse the deputies are also not very clean and the transfer is not clear. The transfer is handled by a separate company from the sanatorium, but for some reason there is no logic if the family arrives at the Baku airport and is offered a free transfer from the airport to the sanatorium, then for some reason they return paid, but for free they can only take you to the city of Ganja, why do we need Ganja if we flew to Baku and accordingly flies out of Baku, some kind of half-hearted free service, although on another site they offer a transfer as a gift, it’s normal where they got it there and delivered it

Positives

Quite a comfortable stay. For a detailed consideration and a more understandable perception of my impression of the sanatorium, I will divide it into categories... Exterior: The complex was built recently and therefore looks quite decent and is laid out taking into account modern trends, the facade is covered with mosaic tiles, which should look like a single whole, but the builders have their own jambs the job was done. Some surfaces look perfect, but some would like to be redone. In general, it seems to me that they built “hand-assed” buildings, because there are a lot of shortcomings and mistakes. Lots of chipped tiles in common areas, scuffs, several tiles in the area were replaced within a week, Karl! Change a couple of tiles every week. There is night, there are silent ways to partially replace tiles. Interior: The interiors are quite harmoniously made, it is clear that the designer had a hand in it. Lots of greenery and paintings, in certain places even attempts to depict frescoes. Lots of places to relax, soft areas. The staff in the reception area is quite friendly, but I always understood that I was being watched. I don't want to notice the guards. They should be inconspicuous and unobtrusive like maids, but here the impression was that security guards are central figures who should be visible and all life should revolve around them. This is wrong! Territory: For the territory alone I am ready to give 5*. A large landscaped area with walking paths, well-groomed bushes, trees, flowers. But there are some problems here too. The irrigation system is not regulated and in many places it is even clogged, which contributes to water splashing on the paths and walking in these places is not possible. The lanterns are loosely screwed on and some are even lying on the paths. The lanterns chosen for the parks are disgusting; throughout the entire territory in the evening and at night the light shines directly into the eyes. Everything had to be done differently. There are not enough recreation areas on the territory itself; it was necessary to create soft recreation areas and scatter pillows on the lawns in some places. A pair of torn hammocks hangs. The bicycles leave much to be desired)) they are some kind of pile of rusty, creaky iron. Swimming pool: The water itself is clean and warm. The area near the pool is terrible, as the covering is all peeling off and clings to your feet. There are a lot of sunbeds and they are comfortable, but the sun covers are not adjusted and can hit you on the head or back. Towels are changed and replenished near the pool regularly. Entertainment: Primitive. On the territory of neighboring Chinar you can say there is a nightclub. This is some kind of primitive thing from the 90s. Very inactive staff gathering people for entertainment and involving them in games. There is a serious lack of active animation and promoters. Rooms: Spacious, large and very comfortable, but again worn out and shabby details. For example, in my shower stall the household sealant had come loose in places and black mold and dirt had accumulated around the perimeter. The tiles were covered in erosion and some kind of dirt that could not be washed off. The rain shower head was covered with a thick layer of dirt on top. Generally speaking, the room was cleaned every day quite well, but not perfect. Bed linen, robes and towels were changed daily, but one thing was always missing, then another. The maids always tried to be inconspicuous and always tried to help. Most likely, the fact that traces remained after cleaning is most likely not their fault! They were simply not explained where and what to clean. Plastic glasses for water in the room!!! Charles! Plastic. AT 5*. Restaurant and food: Overall a good impression. Monotonous. It’s just possible that it’s because I’ve been there long enough and I’ve become bored with everything. But sometimes my stomach reacted with heartburn to this food. The restaurant staff worked promptly, but not always efficiently. Instead of bringing drinks or food to someone, it was necessary to quickly ensure that everyone had enough space, cutlery, and dishes. In general, the restaurant staff was friendly and always tried to help, but preference was given to local and especially important guests and this was not pleasant. If this is accepted, then it should be beyond noticeable to ordinary guests. Treatment center: A very strange place! The ordinary staff is trying their best and for this we thank them very much. But here’s what I can’t say about the chief physician. I saw Dilbar at most 3 times in 15 days. The first meeting and then a couple of times. No rounds or conversations with guests. I talked with some especially important guests. But she spent enough time on her appearance and dressing up. The doctor must be neat and wear a white coat, period! For example, in Gashalty, the chief doctor visits all treatment rooms and communicates with guests every 2 hours, every day. Accepts all wishes and complaints of guests. Dirty covers on the chairs, no water cooler. There was a large jug of water, but it was not enough. The procedures, or rather their number, are reduced to a minimum in the package compared to the same Chinar and Gashalty. The set of procedures is meager. Separately, I would like to say thank you to Rauf for the magnificent massage, and to Ikhtier for being able to treat everyone alone. And I forgot the name of the guy who did the naftalan baths(((Thank you Ramil for your help. Babek, smile more often, this is Naftalan’s most charming smile. In general, the treatment center is 3*. Staff: In general, the staff is not bad, but no one cares about them literally! They smoke, and this is noticeable to vacationers, they chat on the phone and laugh loudly, and this is also noticeable to vacationers. They don’t always look neat. But a whole bunch of important men walking around the territory and writing something down in a diary are amazing. And the sense of these activities 0. Conclusion: I do not recommend. Everyone must decide for themselves. But the price/quality/set of services ratio is completely inadequate. It is very expensive for this level of treatment and service. If you want to get 5* in reality, then you need to comply . In this state, this is 4* at a stretch. All the vacationers with whom I spoke had the impression that the hotel operates on its own and no one is taking care of it. There is no owner! It’s a pity to see how the pearl of Naftalan is deteriorating. Treatment is better in Gashalty and Chinar, in terms of territory and location, yes it is better, but not much. I have experience in managing similar facilities at ski resorts and experience in managing huge retail facilities, I would love to turn this facility into a real 5* property and make it a real pearl that everyone would always want to go to. Thank you.
