We were very dissapointed with our stay at Domaine de Raba. I booked 2 days prior to this with another Company and they did not allocate me my chosen room. Also, the accomodation is not in the building pictured it is in a seperate new building.

One night in Domaine de Raba
We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Some staff spoke very good English which helped as my French is quite basic. The Room 'Les Pidgeons' was excellent. It was beautifully presented and cosy with a charming fragrance, a sample of which were able to take with us, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed a relaxing swim in the indoor pool with our one-year-old daughter. Then we enjoyed a lovely pre-dinner drink in the chraming Library Bar. The barman was fantastic and served us up a delicious cocktail of his own recipe. Dinner was delicious and we were supplied with a high chair for the baby upon request. Again the restaurant staff were polite, professional and accommodating. We ordered breakfast to our room for 7.15 a.m. and a taxi for 8.15a.m. as we had a flight at 11a.m. The breakfast didn't arrive at 7.15 and we overslept til 7.30 which put us under a little pressure time wise. Eventually breakfast arrived at 7.45 but we didn't have time to enjoy it in full, unfortunately. It was only when we woke up, we realised there was no phone in the room, so if I was to change anything about our stay it would be to install a phone in the room. Overall a really, relaxing and enjoyable stay at Domaine de Raba. I only wish I had booked for two nights instead of one! We'll definitely be back for another stay. Thank you to all the staff who made this stay so enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were charming and always available and helpful. It’s a little unusual we stayed in a Lodge which is in fact just like a luxury safari tent, so rather quirky for the outskirts of Bordeaux. Don’t be put off by my description, the lodge has a beautiful super king size bed with high quality bed linen, a double shower with 2 drench style shower heads and separate loo. Breakfast is served to you at your lodge, freashly squeezed orange juice tea/coffee and loads of freash pastries.There’s quite a bit of building work going on at the moment, but it’s really worth keeping an eye on the development for the future it really is going to be a lovely place to stay when all the work is finished. I’m sure we’ll be back sometime in the future.

Don't go on a bank holiday!
This is a quaint hotel, with some lovely features and nice staff, however the overall experience was very disappointing because of the following: - the location is by the university on the very edge of town, not near any other facilities such as shops or restaurants - the acclaimed restaurant was fully booked upon arrival on a Saturday night - the restaurant was closed on Sunday because of a private event which turned out to be a dinner for about 10 people - the restaurant was closed all day and evening on Monday because of the bank holiday and there was one member of staff around all day - we felt it would have been courteous to Mention upon booking the lack of avaibility at the restaurant for residents and the general lack of services available during the period, the hotel felt practically closed The staff who were around always tried to help us and the chef even tantalisingly brought us a sample of his beef Wellington whilst we were tucking into our own cheese supper on the terrace... A kind gesture but it also pointed out what we were missing! If you have a car and don't want much more service than a B&B then you might like this place, otherwise you'll need to take lot luck with the timing I fear...

Helpful staff, convenient location, clean
The staff were extremely helpful in every way. Location was chosen mainly for location close to airport, and access to centre is easy by the tram which has a stop about 10 minutes walk from hotel. Hotel very clean, but if you are expecting sumptious furnishings and decor this is not the place for you, it is somewhat spartan

Excellent restaurant service; otherwise not great
Other than the cuisine, which was excellent, our experience was less than expected given the 4.3 star average shown on the website. Non-restaurant service was competent but not above the ordinary. We took three rooms for two nights, as part of a two week road trip through France. I had perhaps the least desirable room in the hotel, being near service areas and thus exposed to noise. The others were less exposed but I would avoid the first floor if you can. The property generally is nice but not as elegant as the website photos indicate.

Great romantic getaway
We had wonderful 2 nights here. Staff were so friendly and helpful it felt like a five star resort. They were happy to book any trips or vineyard tours for us and were chatty nag pleasant throughout our stay. The chateau is lovely and quiet. I would recommend for a quiet romantic get away and I will be returning when ever I get the chance!!

Just what we wanted
This hotel was recommended to me by a friend whose opinion I trust. Despite that, we were very agreeably surprised by how pleasant our short stay was. The principal thing for us was the fact that, despite being in a suburb of a large city like Bordeaux, the main impression was of relaxing quietly in the countryside, as you are surrounded by leafy park land. The hotel was clean, the staff smiling and willing, and the restaurant was very enjoyable. It's a little way from the centre if that's where you want to go, but fairly close to the ring road to the airport. All in all, a very worth-while find.

Far away, average chateau
We were willing to stay far away from the center of Bordeaux for a special chateau experience - unique, romantic, beautiful and special, but in the end our experience was average at best. Also, the location was't good at all. It wasn't only far from Bordeaux but in the middle of a university village with nothing around and not very nice at all. The property is average looking, the grounds unspectacular and the service isn't special either. The staff wasn't very helpful or knowledgable. At least the room was decent, clean and of good size, especially relative to other European hotels. I'll at least give them good value for the price we paid.

Shame the service spoilt a lovely hotel
We - 3 couples - visited the pavilion for the second time. A fantastic pavilion with the old chateau falling down next door (shame but obviously not the hotel's fault!) Check in was fine - rooms are very good and clean. We surmise that there are enough staff - we went up to the upper terrace when we arrived and no one came to offer us drinks. Had to search out a member of staff. It had rained the day before (not that day) and although the furniture should have protected the seat covers they did not protect them all. Some of the seat covers were very wet, entailing quite a laugh but annoyance as well with wet bottoms! Later we had drinks and then went on the lower terrace for dinner - again a wet bottom for one of us! Why hadn't the staff checked the seat pads? We had to go searching for the staff to order more wine. Not much service for pouring wine throughout the evening. Food, however, was good. What a shame - a lovely place ruined by very poor service. Will not return. Although not the hotel's fault, it is in the middle of an industrial estate - quite difficult to find (easy for us this time - but took us ages with many phone calls the first time we visited). However, it is very quiet once you are there.

Beautiful building
A beautiful and very impressive building set in a small wood, close to the ringroad motorway around Bordeaux but without any traffic noise. Birdsong and very calm. Gardens aren't particularly attractive and not landscaped though. Friendly welcome, and we were given a complimentary upgrade to what the hotel classes as a suite: although I think it's really more a very large room. The safe in our room didn't work and we were offered a different room instead if we needed the safe, or they offered to store our valuables in their own safe - which we did. The building has mainly been done out to a high standard, but there are minor elements where I think they fall short. All-in-all, a lovely place to stay and the dinner we had there was delicious. My only gripe really would be that the breakfast, not included in the room rate, is very very expensive at EUR17 per person for, basically, cheap croissants, bread, coffee and a couple of cereals. But then again, you don't have to have it!

Nous avons passé une nuit L'hôtel est vraiment très bien situé. Nous avions la chambre des oiseaux. Décoration un peu trop kitch à mon goût et surtout le parfum d'ambiance bien trop prononcé que nous avons ramené dans nos bagages... En revanche un petit déjeuner top dans le bâtiment principal qui lui est bien d'époque. Jardin très agréable.

Nuit au domaine
On nous a mis à disposition une chambre en Rez de chaussée destinée aux handicapés que nous ne sommes pas d’ailleurs. La chambre est dans le passage de l’accueil et mal insonorisée et les rideaux ne sont pas assez larges pour occulter le jour où la lumière permanente de l’entrée. Par contre le personnel a été hyper réactif pour nous donner une autre chambre à l’étage mais pas de chance pas de chauffage dans celle-ci on s’est couché avec une bonne couette. Ce séjour restera des anecdotes à raconter. Le petit déjeuner devrait être en buffet il faut que le client puisse choisir en visuel et non à la demande et celui-ci est trop cher 20 euros salade de fruit pomme bananes voir photo

Simply WOW! Best hotel experience ever! Love the tent room, great design. When the sun light shades on the tent, it looks so calm and relax. It was still very cold outside when we come back in the evening. When we were going to bed, we were surprised what we saw under the blanket: two fluffy hot water bottles. So thoughtful and warmhearted! We ordered breakfast for 2 and could be delivered to our room. Just perfect. The hotel facilities seem so nice, there are swimming pool, small theater room, spa tent at the pond. Free parking. I stayed only one night but I wish I would have stayed longer. Well, highly recommended to everyone and will come back again.

En revanche nous n'étions pas prévenus que nous ne pouvions pas dîner an l'hôtel car c'était un dimanche. Et il n'y avait pas de restaurants aux alentours .
