My friend and I stayed for a fortnight B&B at Balkaya and really enjoyed it. Breakfast is continental style but if you want full english there are plenty of places near by that are very cheap. Location is great as near to nearby towns and local buses run constantly to get around really easily for a very small price. The... more

We had a fantasic fortnight at the Balkaya. There were the usual "moaners" who paid little for their stay and expected 5 star treatment. The fact is that the Balkaya is a small, Turkish run hotel where the food is Turkish. If you want a full English menu go somewhere else! We ate well! Meat is expensive in Turkey so... more

Just come back from a fortnight at the Balkaya and at cheaper than hostel prices it was a great deal. The setting and pool are lovely. It is quiet - don't go if you want to be in a lively area with late bars and sixties music as you have to take the bus to Hisaronu. Not near the beach... more

Booked hotel last minute after our previous choice was unavailable to us following a mix up with OTB so didnt have time to read the reviews. Had we, would we have gone - I dont think so. First and foremost we paid very little for the accommodation and travelled out with a very open mind. Our flight was delayed by... more

We booked a last minute deal and found what looked like a lovely hotel in Ovachik near Olu Deniz. Having then booked I read reviews on The Balkaya Hotel and became very worried indeed.

Just back from a one week stay here, booked through the Thomas Cook website. As will be obvious from other reviews, this is a hotel with issues….but like others we felt also with some good qualities. After a speedy minibus transfer from Dalaman we arrived at the hotel, located about 500 metres down an unpaved track from the main road... more

We arrived at the Blakaya hotel on a Saturday morning at 6am and was told there were no rooms at the hotel and we would have to go to another hotel for the day until the other guests had checked out. I felt a little sorry for the receptionsit as I feel her manager should have been there to deal... more
