Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Anyone who appreciates a relaxed, natural aesthetic right near authentic coastal dining will suit Barefoot Hotel Mallorca. Liked by the guests who stay here, this harbour-side hotel boasts a rooftop pool overlooking Portocolom and comprehensive spa facilities. As a drawback, parking availability in the narrow surrounding streets is quite limited, and the social areas can feel busy in peak season.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 54 hotels we list on Mallorca is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- The rooftop pool provides panoramic views across the historic fishing harbor, offering a quiet space to relax away from the crowds. It serves as a central social hub during the sunset hours for guests.
- The spa includes a sauna and various wellness treatments, focusing on holistic relaxation rather than just standard amenities. It is a well-integrated part of the hotel's focus on rejuvenation and calm during a stay.
Things to Consider
- Portocolom's traditional layout means finding a parking spot nearby can be difficult during the high season. Guests arriving by car may need to use public lots located a short walk from the main entrance.
- Given its popularity and central location, the common areas can feel quite lively during peak summer months. Those seeking total isolation might find the social energy of the restaurant and bar more prominent than expected.

Reviews from Google“An outstanding hotel. Very high standard, beautifully decorated. Staff were very welcoming, breakfast was excellent, restaurant food was delicious, beds were very comfortable. Cannot find one thing negative to say. The owner must be a very classy perfectionist!!”
“I had the most wonderful stay at Barefoot Hotel Mallorca—and it was made even more special because it was my birthday. The team went above and beyond to celebrate it with me, surprising me with champagne, a delicious cake, and a beautiful handwritten card. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that I’ll never forget. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. Every detail feels carefully curated—natural, elegant, and incredibly well-made. The atmosphere is calm and effortlessly beautiful, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. They are genuinely kind, warm, and attentive in a way that feels sincere, not forced. You can tell they really care about creating a special experience for their guests. And I have to mention the bed—especially the linen and sheets. I slept incredibly well, some of the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Everything felt so comfortable and high quality. I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and thoughtfully run place to stay. And just to be clear—I’m not paid to write this review, just genuinely impressed!”
“Just returned from an amazing few days at Barefoot - the hotel itself is gorgeous, super clean and comfortable - and we got an upgrade on arrival so thoroughly enjoyed the terrace! The breakfast was delicious, the pool and spa areas are lovely and relaxing - and the staff couldn't be more helpful, everyone was friendly and super-efficient. It's in a fantastic area, easily walkable to the beautiful harbour, lots of restaurants, bars, the beach - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend, and hope to return at some point!”
“A very beautiful hotel. Great services, good food. The aestetics are 👌 Butttt....paying over €400/night and not being alle to put the airco in the room lower than 22 degrees blows my mind 🤯 The sun is on the room all day and it is impossible to keep the room cool. A clever way to economize for the hotel but I do expect this level of service in a hotel of this price range. I would not return simply for this reason. A big shame.”
“Loved our stay! Absolutelt love portocolom so if you’re thinking of coming its a must! The hotel was decorated lovely - staff very friendly! Pool was nice and relaxing. A perfect place to relax for a week!”
