Akyuz Kardesler Hotel & Bungalow

The hygiene was zero. Everything I touched in the room felt sticky, and spiders came out from under the bed. The room and toilet were tiny, there was no air conditioning, and the advertised Wi-Fi didn't work. I was charged 4000TRY when the usual price is 3000 TRY, clearly because it was the last room. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Spend your money elsewhere.

The breakfast was good, and the woman cooking it was even nicer. The location is handy, not too far from the lake and main spots, and the staff were generally pleasant. But the room for three was the smallest I've ever seen, and the shower leaked past the floor edging, leaving the whole bathroom wet. My wife found a pack of Cheetos under the bedsheets, which made me question the hygiene, since the covers and sheets definitely hadn't been washed. There's no air conditioning, so expect mosquitoes or a whole night breathing the same air.

Still zero out of five. The towels were unusable, but mentioning that doesn't change the fact that housekeeping wasn't done when requested and no clean blankets were provided. There was no network or Wi-Fi, and the electricity kept cutting in and out. The bathroom and shower are small, and water spills out when you shower. We used the towels to mop it up so it wouldn't spread across the apartment floor, and paid the full 400TL towel charge for four days. Housekeeping still didn't come even when asked. Check the blankets before using them: dirty ones were covered by a wet white blanket. The breakfast buffet had little variety, and they charged extra for an omelette. There was no shuttle. Check-in was strictly at 2 p.m., even when we were exhausted and asked to come in earlier. It isn't worth the money, and I can't recommend it.

We spent two nights in one of the new bungalows. It was clean and comfortable, and breakfast had a nice range of dishes. The setting is beautiful and it felt very family friendly. No alcohol or smoking is allowed on the premises, Allhumdulillah. The owners and employees made for a very pleasant stay. 💜💐💜
