Dog Hotel Tycoon is a charming simulation game where you build and manage the ultimate getaway for dogs. Start small and expand your facility to include nap areas, swimming pools, and exercise grounds to become a 5-star resort. With over 80 breeds to host, you'll need to satisfy each dog's unique needs and personality. Beyond management, you can create your own permanent residents, compete in daily Dog Shows (ranging from running to singing!), and learn about history's most iconic canines in the 'Paws of Fame' corner. It's an easy-to-play, heartwarming experience for players of all ages.

89/100

Dog Hotel Tycoon is an absolute treat for animal lovers. It successfully blends the 'idle tycoon' genre with deep pet care mechanics. You aren't just building rooms; you're managing the 'wants and needs' of over 80 different breeds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and lifelike behavior.

The addition of side activities like the 'Daily Dog Show' and 'Dog Trivia' makes this feel much more active than your typical tycoon game. It’s incredibly rewarding to grow your small suburban hotel into a 5-star paradise. The 'Paws of Fame' feature, where you build statues for iconic historical dogs, is a touching tribute that adds heart to the experience. The graphics are adorable, the dogs are expressive, and the gameplay loop of satisfying your guests is genuinely heartwarming. It’s a must-play for anyone who has ever dreamed of running their own puppy paradise.

Amazing!!

This game is soooo cute! And the best part is your able to actually learn about different dog breeds! Which makes this game really stand out from others. Also the fact that the dogs in your hotel have unique personalities adds a whole other level to the game. Your not taking care of a poorly AI generated dog, your taking care of a cute little character with an actual personality! This game stands out so much from other dog games. And the style of this is adorable! It is definitely worth the download! Having dogs with personalities makes you want to come back and play everyday! And the fact you can create your own dog is so important because it really makes you feel included in the game. The one thing I do wish you would maybe add is more dog breeds? There are about 400 dog breeds and only a handful of them are in game. Some suggestions: Doberman, Australian Shepherd/Miniature Australian Shepherd, Miniature Pinsher, Great Dane? Speaking of 400 dog breeds, that was fact I learned from the quiz! Again, the fact that this is a game that teaches you about dogs AND is really fun is something you don’t see much in games. Thanks for making this awesome game!

This game is AMAZING. It has everything a game needs. It’s has the enjoyment, the intellect, and what we all love, not too many ads. Most of the ads I’ve watched throughout this game is choice ads to get a prize. It takes time to play this game, which is what I like. It’s realistic and that’s another thing I like. It tells me all this fascinating stuff about dogs and dog breeds that I never knew before. Now, on to the suggestions. This game isn’t perfect, it’s amazing, though. There would be some things I would change and add. I would like there to be more diverse dog breeds. This is hard to do, I know, but I think it’d be cool. I would also like to be able to make the hotel name longer. I named mine Pawsitive, but I wanted to do Pawsitive Hotel, because it makes a lot more sense. Everyone knows it is a hotel, but the “hotel” word at the end gives it more of a ring to it. Except for these tiny little additions and changes, this game is amazing. One of the best I’ve played, and I will gladly continue playing it. Thank You.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME! I’ve been playing it for a few days now and it’s so cute and not difficult. All the sorts of dogs I can collect is really exciting to figure out and I really enjoy the dog trivia. I love how all the dogs have their own personalities, colors, names, and ages!! It makes it seem more real and this game makes me want to own a dog hotel. My ONLY complaint is that when I first got this game I had to watch adds to get 2x, which is JUST FINE, but as of recently when I go to click the “X” on the add it won’t let me close it. It does nothing when I click it, so then I have to close out the app which then means I don’t get my reward. I’ve watched numerous adds now and it’s always the “garden escape” that plays now and it won’t let me close it out when it’s over. That does get aggravating because now when I watch an add it’s always that one and I never get the 2x reward. Other than that? The game itself is AMAZING and i ABSOLUTELY love it!!! I’m addicted 🐶🐶🐶

Fantabulous

I don’t usually write reviews, but this game is amazing. I don’t think there’s really been any ads that I didn’t choose to watch, the ones I have chosen to watch were for extra money, but money isn’t too difficult to get without them I’m just impatient. The dog quiz mini game is fun and has questions of mixed difficulty, so it’s a good amount of challenge without being impossible, it’s also a good way to get gems which aren’t impossible to get either. I like that the dogs each have personalities and talk to eachother, it makes me like them more. I think a lot of games on the app store are just trying to make money and have so many ads they’re unplayable because of that, but this game just feels like whoever made it just really likes dogs and it’s a nice change of pace.

Don’t get me wrong, this game is adorable. So many dogs from big to small and young to old! While yes the renovation system is annoying, it’s still fine. My problem is what it does to your phone. One night I was in the car, opening the app when my phone stopped responding. I sat for a minute weirded out but then it went black, then showed a loading symbol, then turned on. It barely turned on before the cycle repeated. I was so freaked out and so were my parents. I’m not the kid to get viruses. Other times I would be on the phone with someone and the screen would flash black. It even happened to the person I was FaceTiming. Not after I deleted the app though. Adorable app just beware of the effects

Addicting fun game! But one request…
Sat Jul 27 2024 1234567890YAYYYYYYYYYYYY

So I really enjoy this game! Basically you and your dog business partner make a hotel, and watch it grow. I have the gym now, and I will say I have been playing for two years. BUT, that’s because I took a break. A long one too. Anyways, my only request is that it could be less pricey for your own pet. You see, I have one pet, a pug, named Chico. But I recently found this adorable sweet dog, Rueben the Blonde Bulldog, who I absolutely adore! I really wish I could make a copy of him, but I don’t have enough gems. And I really wish I could have him. But anyways, I love and recommend this game to anyone who loves dogs! For the people behind this game: You guys are awesome and I hope you read this comment. You did great on this game! I hope you recognize this comment and (hopefully) fix the pet problem. Sorry for this being so long!

This game is just simply amazing. The moment I opened the game for the very first time, I knew it was a winner. It is so amazing, It’s a game that has everything you would want in a game, cool graphics, dogs, and the best part, no adds! (Except if you choose to have one, like for extra money, etc.). Anywhooooo, I really recommend this game, but I just have ONE suggestion. “Will you please add a Pomeranian? Many people enjoy those fluffy things, and there personally is booming!” I said at 4:35pm, Tue Mar 21. (When I was writing this) So, yeah, highly recommended “Dog Hotel” I’t is my new FAV game. I can’t set down my iPad-literally. My mother sometimes asks me like, 34 times, to get get off, when I’m playing it. SO YEAH PLEASE GET THIS GAME. -Ella

Ripped Off
Thu Oct 13 2022 bkydspacemnkey

I don’t like ads and will pay to eliminate them from my games, but this game is complete rip off. $15 bucks to get rid of adds and you can only upgrade the hotel 6 times, and essentially you’re done, then it’s the same repetitive nonsense over and over again. If you play on a day when you’ve got nothing else going on it’s really just a few hours and then you’ve maxed out renovations, and for 2 weeks now I open the app every 10 hours collect my money and close the app. After awhile the buses stop coming, it because impossible to earn gems to get new cards and dogs, the rooms get super pricey to upbgrade so it becomes impossible to mac them out. I’ve been trying to find the game gave me that first day for the last few weeks. I don’t want to delete the game because I’ve sunk a good chunk of change into it. Buyer beware, and hoping for a substantial update soon before I lose interest in even just collecting my money…
