### 3/5 — Definitely a fun game!

*2026-08-21, version 1.37.3*

I love this game until they did the update you have to play longer and it's turning into a cash grab and I've been playing this game for a while so I'm really good at. I play it because I have a head injury and it helps a great deal but I don't have hours to play to get the gifts now it's just too long to build them up. It just takes the fun out of it. The game is starting to feel like a chore.

### 2/5 — Match Hotel 3D puzzle game

*2026-06-20, version 1.35.2*

I was loving this game and investing some money only to have an update message stating my version is not supported. This was after I purchased one of the advertised packages. The game is not supported on my phone, but the ability to take my money works find. Don’t get used to playing this one.

### 3/5 — Creepy Ground hogs

*2026-05-22, version 1.36.1*

Would have given this a 5 because the graphics and items are great and the game is fun. However, the ground his.  Please remove the ground hogs that burrow through the “dirt”. They are creepy, make my skin crawl, and make the game less enjoyable. I almost deleted the app.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing mid levels.

*2026-03-09, version 1.32.5*

Every 5 to 10 minutes the game keeps crashing out of app. Tried everything. Very poor and frustrating.

### 2/5 — Start as a new player.

*2026-02-26, version 1.32.5*

It would be nice to be able to delete the game and start over as a new player. There are not enough bombs to clear the area before running out of time. Starting to not be fun.

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2025-12-04, version 1.30.5*

I have loved playing this until this Christmas update now the game freezes and I have to go out of it to get it to stop.  Then I lose a man.  Very frustrating please fix.

### 3/5 — Fun game!

*2025-11-30, version 1.30.5*

Love this game, except the music is annoying.

### 4/5 — It’s getting too hard to be fun

*2025-11-20, version 1.30.4*

Fun game but I’m starting to wonder whether I’ll ever beat level 2664. I’ve been playing for years and stuck on this level what seems like forever. The Barbie legs are super tiny, especially on a mobile. Send tips/tricks on this level  my way if you have any.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-10-30, version 1.29.2*

Love the game but disappointed that they don’t give the 1hr free lives anymore.  I’ve managed to reach level 2874 but unfair you need to purchase a lot

### 5/5 — My Favorite

*2025-10-22, version 1.28.3*

I love this game . Sometimes it’s very hard but when you pass that level it’s all good.

### 5/5 — Match Hotel-3D

*2025-10-14, version 1.28.3*

This game is fun both challenging and doable without spending extra!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth it anymore

*2026-08-27, version 1.37.3*

It used to glitch, but through time it improved, but now they’ve made levels more difficult. It’s just frustrating enough for you to make purchases. Not for me, bye Felica.

### 1/5 — How do I contact you?

*2026-07-31, version 1.37.3*

When I go to my teams to request lives it keeps saying connection lost when I’m still connected. It’s really frustrating and there’s nobody to contact help!!

### 1/5 — Joining a team sucks

*2026-05-21, version 1.36.1*

It sucked having to wait for more lives for 4 hours.  Now is even worse that they have you join a team because you’re having to wait for the team to send you lives.  Time to stop playing this game.

### 1/5 — Purchase to upgrade???

*2026-05-02, version 1.35.2*

I thought this game was free to download with in-ap purchases?? But no, I had to pay to upgrade. 6.35… not cool. Especially when it never stated anything about making a purchase.

### 1/5 — Casual satanism and occult symbolism

*2026-04-21, version 1.35.2*

This game is chailk full of bizarre occult and satanic references. Dismembered heads and pentagrams constantly. It’s full of distirbing imagery.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-03-07, version 1.32.5*

For months, I have been getting kicked out of the game. Before, during and after. It’s infuriating. I lose progress in the challenges constantly. I’ve reached out to support numerous times and received zero resolution.

### 1/5 — Sucks now- avoid

*2026-02-15, version 1.32.5*

Used to be one of my favorite games, in large part because it was fair. But with the latest update, now all levels have tons of objects which are 98% identical but not a match, meaning you can’t tell by looking in most cases, meaning it’s insanely more difficult in a way that can’t be improved with skill. The goal is clearly to milk the player. Well, I am never giving you another penny.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

*2025-12-26, version 1.31.1*

I have had some glitches within the game similar to what another player posted. Freezing up, taking away coins and accomplishments just as your about to get to another level, etc. I will not waste another dime on this game. About to delete this app as there are plenty of other match games that are very similar and don’t cause the headaches and monetary waste that this one does. Not worth it!!

### 1/5 — MATCH HOTEL

*2025-11-09, version 1.29.2*

I'm on level 604 and I paid $4.99 to purchase more time so I could get to the next level. I didn't get extra time so I would appreciate it if you credit back my account. I tried this level over 100 times. I took a screenshot of the end and all those phones that you claimed was still left in order to win those items were not even left in it? That isn't fair or right! No wonder why I can't get to the next level. Please fix it and refund my money. If there is a way to buy more time please let me know. Thanks

### 1/5 — MATCH HOTEL

*2025-10-10, version 1.28.3*

I'm on level 509 and I must have played this game over 50 times! 
There is no way anyone can get all of those items down to win the game in the short time frame you give them. Not only that but you take the color out and make them black and white. I even purchased from you more time and I didn't get more time? I got more chances to play. Plus items I didn't hit on come down and that isn't fair. I am constant and I am determined to get to the next level. But this level is impossible to achieve. 
You change my account for .99 more than I authorized you to do* Please credit it back to my account immediately as well as the $4.99 that I purchased to give me more time to get the items completed! 
I waited 25 minutes to get to play again and I got ONE try?? What the heck is that b/s? 
I suggest you stop timing this game and let your customers play as often as they wish. Stop making it impossible to play. If not you are going to lose your customers and this game is going to be rated very POOR. I never seen a game like this that you can't find the items because you piled so much other stuff on top of them. REFUND MY MONEY IN TOTAL AMOUNT OF$ 4.99 + .99.

### 5/5 — Getting too Hard

*2026-08-06, version 1.37.3*

Level 13274 is beyond ridiculous!!! It should be removed forever! Even with pre game boosters it cost me close to 7000 coins to get through. What is the point?! The levels are getting too hard!!! Objects are tiny and similar except for the color placement (for example: those mugs) AND limited time (even when using a pre-game time boost). It’s also ridiculous to have to find the green guns, the beehives, the groundhogs, navigate through the popcorn, match the glowing seashells etc… all
in the same level. 
Make the game fun to play not impossible!

### 5/5 — Match hotel

*2026-06-02, version 1.36.1*

Great game fun to play

### 5/5 — It’s fun!!!

*2026-04-19, version 1.35.2*

Enjoy it

### 5/5 — Really Fun. No ads.

*2026-04-14, version 1.34.2*

This game is very addictive, simple, and fun. And the best part I just hit level 50 and I still can't say I’ve run into an AD. More games need to be like this one. I love it.

### 5/5 — Addictif

*2026-03-09*

Jeu très sympa et moment de détente pour moi. Dommage que le tchat ne soit pas actif et qu’il n’y ait pas une vision du nombre de niveaux total disponibles

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2026-02-02, version 1.32.0*

More fun than expected!

### 5/5 — Match game

*2026-01-15, version 1.32.0*

Really enjoying playing this game as yet, it’s great that you’re not having adverts constantly interrupting game.

### 5/5 — Fun ,Relaxing

*2025-12-15, version 1.31.1*

Really enjoy these games The change is really nice to look forward to. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Too addictive

*2025-12-06, version 1.30.5*

I love this game. Great graphics. No advertisements. My issue is the penalty’s  are too damn high. If you run out of space 900 coins is a bit extreme. To buy 3 hourglass boosters 2500 coins. I’m seriously addicted and have no self control. When you win, the prizes are extremely underwhelming considering the cost of any purchases. It’s like gambling without any possibility of a reward. I’ve been at the top of your leaderboard for a while.  Top players deserve more than what you offer. IMHO. I’m fully aware that it’s my choice to play. It’s a business meant to make money. Anywho for people reading this it’s really a great game but I advise you to play without spending money. It’s totally possible and very challenging. I’m rambling I know. I know I have to delete the app and notify my bank to not allow any charges from this company. I know it’s what I need to do but it’s a battle with the guys on my shoulders. Felt the need to share so yeah…
