The water for drinking and bathing was filthy. Getting into the jacuzzi left us covered in mud, and spiders and insects were coming out all over it. The kitchen utensils were dirty, and the kettle was broken and kept tripping the circuit breaker. We told the owner, who said, “It’s broken, don’t use it, I’ll bring you a new one.” We felt relieved for a moment, then they brought another broken kettle. The bathroom door was broken, and you could see inside even when it was fully shut. The toilet cistern’s outer layer was broken too. By the end of the holiday, the jacuzzi was unusable. We thought at least we could shower, but the shower cabin had no door and the water swung between boiling hot and ice cold. We had to go home dirty. The only thing we were happy about was the toilet paper, since they’d left a whole pack under the sink. We’d read a review saying the positive comments were probably from the owner’s relatives, and that person was absolutely right. Don’t be tempted by the price. Go camping instead, it’s more comfortable.

They told us they’d hired someone else and given our place to them, then said they would refund our deposit. I’d already paid 1000 TL for a taxi to get there. When I mentioned the cost, the guy said he’d pay for the minibus, making fun of us. I don’t understand all the positive reviews, which are probably from the owner’s relatives. It felt like Arabs were treated well while we Turks were turned away after agreeing on dollars and euros. We were humiliated with our own money and had to find another hotel. It was disgraceful, and I absolutely don’t recommend it.

It’s quiet and there’s nothing around, so bring everything you’ll need if you stay. It’s a good place to relax, and the owner is helpful in every way. Just be aware that navigation takes you along a bad route.

We stayed for two days and were very satisfied. The service and attention were great, and it felt safe and comfortable. The rooms, including the jacuzzi, were spotlessly clean.
