Prima, vanwege de leuke inrichting van het hotel, het aardige personeel en de locatie.

6.0

Ontzettend aardige mensen. De dames die het ontbijt brachten waren zo ontzettend vriendelijk en vrolijk.

Dat niemand van het personeel Engels spreekt. Ze kunnen je nergens mee helpen omdat ze geen andere taal dan Turks spreken. Verder heeft het een mooie tuin en centrale ruimte, maar is er geen mogelijkheid iets te bestellen. Er is geen horeca actief.

We booked a villa for 5,000 TL, but when we arrived, we were given a much cheaper room worth around

1.0

We booked a villa for 5,000 TL, but when we arrived, we were given a much cheaper room worth around 3,500 TL instead. We felt completely misled. On top of that, the air conditioning and Wi-Fi did not work. The water temperature constantly changed from hot to cold, making it very uncomfortable. We couldn’t even eat breakfast because there was almost no proper food available. I do not recommend this hotel to any tourist or guest. Unfortunately, you may be misled or disappointed at any time.
