Köyüm Konak

You’re in nature here, but still very close to the city, like finding a hidden heaven. The hospitality makes you feel like a king or queen, and I woke up feeling fresh and energetic every morning.

Getting here means tackling some long roads, but the place feels like an oasis once you arrive. It’s quiet and peaceful, and the staff are all fantastic and sweet. The food is absolutely delicious.

The garden and its view were amazing, and the beds were so comfortable. Breakfast was convenient too. I loved the roominess, balcony, decor, atmosphere, and all the surrounding nature. They’d even added a special scent in the corridors, which made the whole place feel lovely. Everything was perfect for me, and if I visit Izmir again, I’d stay at this boutique hotel.

The view was beautiful and the food was delicious, but I wouldn’t recommend this boutique hotel for hosting an event. We went to a friend’s wedding with 70 guests and had booked ten rooms. By 5 PM on the wedding day, most still weren’t ready, and the sheets were wet. Staffing was inadequate, and elderly guests with health problems were put upstairs even though rooms downstairs were available. The newly cleaned bridal room had a pair of men’s boxer shorts in its trash. There were only five shawls at a Yakaköy venue that hosts events, which was ridiculous. They also refused the wedding hosts coffee, saying they didn’t serve hot drinks. We paid 80-90 lira per cup for coffee in cardboard cups, and it was cold and had no foam. Management needs to improve a lot. If you’re after peace and quiet without being disturbed, though, the food and view were good.
