Sonoma Coast Villa & Spa, Bodega

Johannes was on point for everything. Besides the housekeeper, he was the only staff we saw on site. *checked us in *made breakfast *set up our spa *mowed the lawn *made us a FANTASTIC dinner then delivered to our room. Amazing!

Had a fabulous stay and Johanae was the perfect host. You are a gracious man and this is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy.

Food was wonderful, room was fantastic, spa was relaxing, ambiance was perfect and the service was top notch! Need I say more??

Sonoma Coast is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Everyone was really friendly and the room was in great condition. Thank you!

Thank you again for another great visit! They are becoming our “home away from home”! We love it!

Thank you for having such a great place for me to come and unwind whenever I need to. I really love coming here and the staff is fantastic. Thank you!

After discovering blood on the matress pad and going to the office to talk to someone and no one to be found. (office hours 8am to 8pm). We called and spoke to Johannes who siad that the sheets are clean and he would do nothing for us and the office is closed until 8 a.m. What a horrible place along with the owners who have no right to be running a Villa & Spa.

The lack of business ethics and professionalism are enough to convince me to NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. I personally witnessed the owner, Johannes, take a 1/2full handle of vodka from the bar (at a wedding), then proceed to fill it up with WATER, then return it to the bartender!!! The kitchen is rampant with moldy food, and I'm surprised no one has died yet. The wedding I attended had passed appetizers that were straight-out-of-the-package from COSTCO! -no joke!! The power generator went out in the middle of the wedding, leaving 80+guests and a band in the dark...owners no where to be found for 20minutes, when they finally were found, they didn't know what to do and the jerk blamed the band, stating that the music was too loud. I almost died of laughing...the volume of the music doesn't cause a power failure. The worst of the worst was when Ingrid, the other owner & Johannes' wife was collecting USED water bottles off tables and from the trash then REFILLED THEM!! I hate to say it, but you know it's coming...she then returned the bottles to the bar, where guests took them and drank them. In one of the buildings, I went in to use a restroom, and it smelled like nothing I have ever smelled before. I can't even describe how foul it smelled. I asked one of the waiters what the smell was and he said that an animal had gotten inside and died but that they don't know where the dead carcass is. So, instead of hiring someone, Ingrid has been spraying air freshener. DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE, DO NOT STAY HERE OVER NIGHT, DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR GAS AND TIME TO SEE THE PLACE. It's a joke, and has NO RIGHT to be advertised as a "spa" or as a "resort"!

The SCV was a wonderful place to have some peace and quiet. The grounds were maintained very nicely, and the staff was very helpful. After reading the negative comments, we didn't experiance anything other than the innkeepers trying to make our stay pleasant. The innkeepers work very hard paying much attention to detail and of course running, a business that they truly enjoy. The rooms were large with a nice fireplace, windowseat to read on. The rooms were quiet, not hearing anything or anyone. SCV was full the weekend we were there, but we felt we were about the only ones there. The food was WONDERFUL. We had dinner brought to our room one evening and it was fantastic and the breakfast was something to look forward to. The hotel is 5 miles from Bodega Bay, and it seems many people think that because of the name it is on the coast but it isn't and we were not disappointed. We knew ahead of time that it sat on 60 acres among the rolling hills. We enjoyed our time there so much we are looking forward to returning soon. SCV might not be for everyone, if they are looking for a large hotel type service and location, for SCV is a small (16 rooms) bed and breakfast, out in the middle of the hills, being run by innkeepers that this is their life.

Bad management, unfriendly environment, unwelcoming host. you are better off staying in tent.
