"Shocking experience — we lasted less than 5 minutes outside the gates. We arrived by taxi (in a very secluded area) before check-in time and were refused entry altogether. We simply asked to drop off our bags and use the restroom while we waited. Instead, Damien came to the gate and aggressively denied us access. He accused me of pretending to need the restroom just to get into his home early. He made it very clear — in no uncertain terms — that this was his house, his rules, and guests are not welcome even on the property before check-in. We were stunned by his hostility and complete lack of professionalism. We left immediately and never returned. In all my travels, I have never encountered such rude, unwelcoming behavior. Absolutely unacceptable for a business that calls itself hospitality."

"We stayed for just one night and it is very hard to leave! The family made our stay really special with their warm welcome and service. The property itself is simply stunning, very clean and the room was out of this world! The food was wonderful, and truthfully the whole experience was unforgettable. We have stayed at a lot of luxury hotels over the years and this has by far been our best experience yet. Thank you so much for everything and we will definitely be back!"

"My adult daughter and I had an incredible stay here! Everything was so well done - from the beautiful grounds and accommodations to the familial hospitality - we loved every minute. Highlights include the exquisite food and coffee service, beautiful views waking up in a lavender field and kindness of Stephanie, Damien and his parents. We loved the massages, time spent by the pool, and the ability to take amazing day trips in any direction. Highly recommend!"

"Extremely disappointed and frustrated with this experience. I booked a room at 11:30 PM, well before their stated check-in deadline of midnight. Upon arrival before midnight, I found the front gate completely locked with no way to access the property or reach staff. There were no doorbells at the entrance, phone calls went straight to voicemail, and messages sent through the booking app received no response whatsoever. Despite arriving within their posted check-in hours and being physically unable to access the hotel due to their locked gate, I was charged a 'no-show' fee and they refused to process any refund. The lack of communication, inaccessible premises during stated operating hours, and unjust charges made this an incredibly stressful and disheartening experience. I would strongly advise against booking here, especially for late arrivals."

"We had an absolutely fabulous week with Damian and Stephanie and their team. Nestled in between the beautiful lavender fields, manicure gardens and private Swimming pool, the setting could not have been better. The food prepared by the Michelin chef and service were exquisite. I highly recommend staying at Bastide de Damian."
