Who it's for

Evidence note: The sample of recent reviews heavily emphasizes the lack of updates and prevalence of bugs/ads, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This indicates a significant negative trajectory in user experience over time, likely due to the game being abandoned by developers.

- [R1] Something different: So far it’s more fun then I thought ! So much to do
- [R2] Da best: Da best game I’ve ever played
- [R8] I love this game: I love the little people they are so funny I love the hotel stuff and the graphics
- [R9] AMAZING SIGMA GAME!!: Ok , so I’ve played this game off and on for like 3 years, but I wish you guys would update the game.. because once you finish the game. you finished it. there’s no updates and I finished the game almost in a week , and also you can’t play this game without WiFi. DEFF RECOMMEND THO! Update: i redownloaded this game and now i cant get past a hotel. i have another suggestion. m
- [R20] Fun game: The game has good graphics and it is really fun to play. I recommend you downloading it whenever you’re bored!
- [R46] Love it, but needs more hotels: The graphics and gameplay of this tycoon are AWESOME! I wish they'd update it though with more hotels, and that's why I withhold 5 stars. I enjoy earning managers in the events but without bigger and more challenging hotels I have no real use for them
- [R56] Fun until you’re done: I really enjoyed this game and continue to play it. I wish there were more levels now. It’s a great time killer and the detail of items changing as you upgrade them is a nice touch. Each hotel is cool and themed throughout. I said it before and I’ll say it again, I just really wish the game had more content.
- [R6] Great Game but the ads: This game is great and for the most part it is really easy to progress. That being said, once you get to a specific hotel, you’re making net negatives with your staff so the only way to get money is through watching ads for it.
- [R25] Fun game: This is a fun hotel game with minimal adds I just wish it would take you less time to earn money.
- [R33] Game progress: It was kind of easy to progress up
- [R78] “Terrible” game🤣: This game is very addictive and really burn time when needed. Not only that but the tutorial is very informative and the money is very easy to get it just takes time and patience.
- [R5] Great Game: Been playing it since 2019, and wondering if you could add more hotels. Love the game experience and want more
- [R10] Great game: Add more hotels!
- [R13] No updates?: I love this game. I paid for the no ads halfway through thinking there would be updates. Nothing new except events. Make some new levels please!!
- [R7] Really good: It’s good because if your board it’s the game but sometimes I was playing and I to keep restarting the game but all good vibes
- [R19] No Updates: The overall structure of the gameplay is well thought out and entertaining. However, the app crashes constantly and the game never works due to a massive lack of updates. Codigames needs to invest time into updating the software of their apps if they want to keep people playing, because this game has serious potential. It’s a shame they haven’t taken time to keep this game running smoo
- [R53] Can’t obtain 5 stars: I have really enjoyed playing the game and progressing from hotel to hotel. Unfortunately, I’m stuck on the 3rd hotel and unable to progress due to some bug on the first hotel. I have everything upgraded and am yet stuck on 4 stars. Any help or suggestions?
- [R55] Relaxing, but bugs: I’ve always enjoyed playing idle games. And I’ve played a couple from Codigames before. However, with the hotel game, when I play the ads almost every other time it winds up shutting the sound in the game off, and I have to restart it. It’s highly annoying.
- [R47] ads are this game: You cannot do a single thing in this game without an ad being offered to you, and that’s because the game is impossible to play without getting money from ads nonstop! the customer rate is insanely slow and the game is so poorly made, not even showing u how ur losing money.
- [R49] My money: The ads it doesn’t even give me my money when I’m playing the game after watching the ads especially on the 2 ads it cancels out by itself and doesn’t give me my money
- [R74] Good but: If you love watching tons of long ads this is the game for you
- [R17] Can’t Progress: I’ve been on the third hotel for over a week and haven’t even made enough money to build a new room. It’s impossible to progress and I find myself just hopping on for 30 seconds very few hours to spend a the tiny bit I made offline. The games kinda tryna force me to spend money or something
- [R41] The in game purchases are too expensive: Through all the bugs and lag I have experienced with this game I still really enjoy it I just can’t get over the fact that the pay to win side is so expensive
- [R76] Cash grab: Worst game ever by the later levels the game is unplayable without more than 5xing your money it’s shameful that there are no good apps boo you
- [R30] Missing Diamonds: I have “purchased” diamond packs on this app on 3 separate occasions months apart and I’ve never received any of the diamonds that I’ve bought. I’m always told purchase all set and charged but then the game tells me that something went wrong with the purchase and I don’t receive the diamonds. Do not buy the diamonds!
- [R48] Why won’t the x3 work: I have 30 diamonds but it never works please fix so I can buy 😭
- [R83] Adds: This game is amazing but I paid for the spring offer I didn’t get it but it still took my money. And I can’t contact anyone to get it back.
- [R28] Requires data: Idle games should have an offline option
- [R4] Fun but….: I wish you could tanfer money
- [R14] Rebirth: Give use an option to rebirth or reset the game I’m at a stand still and would love to keep playing
- [R15] Transfer money: Hey I have been playing your games for a while now but I would like to have a chance to transfer money to my other hotels in game
- [R50] Restart please: I love this game, but a couple of things it needs to make it better is (1) the ability to restart without having to delete and reinstall and (2) giving the ability to upgrade an item in multiples like 1, 5, 10, and max.
- [R11] Fun BUT INAPPROPRIATE: THIS GAME MAKES THESE PEOPLE NAKED IN THE SHOWER WITH US ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THEM.
- [R206] Great but weird ⚠️: Fun but when people take showers they are naked so that is so weird
- [R42] Optional: It won’t let me log in (i can’t contact support)
- [R32] Don’t bother: I LOVE this game… However, once you complete every hotel (there are maybe…..10-12?), the only “new” ones only last for a couple days, typically on the weekends (NOT WORTH IT.) I first started playing this, maybe 4 years ago (?) when I was recovering from knee surgery. There have been ZERO new hotels added. All you can do is just “collect money”, but not spend it on anything to furthe
- [R40] Where did you all go?: It’s been what feels like an eternity since there has been any kind of major update. 1 year? 2 years? I’m shocked I still have this game installed.
- [R79] Deceptive: I’ve had this game downloaded for years and finished it probably 3-4 years ago at least. The game is fun but once you’re done that’s it. They NEVER make new content….ever. Don’t bother spending money to get the no ads or anything honestly because the developers will NEVER touch this game again. This particular developer has sooooo many games like this and they’re all the same. They add
- [R136] Ads are too long, and rewards are not worth it: I absolutely love this game. It’s very addicting. However, as you move up, it gets a lot harder to increase profit, and progress. Because of this, we are lured to watch ads. This is a great marketing strategy, and it wouldn’t bother me all that much if the ads were like 15 seconds long. But 90 seconds, plus an additional 15 or so until you can close
- [R149] Way too many ads!!!!!!!!!!!: Played this game for a few hours and loved it but after the 2ish hour mark I was getting ads every minute. Made the game unplayable
- [R105] Needs more levels: Beat quickly - no reward for spending money except that the game is over right away and there’s nothing more to do.
