What a lovely hotel, with owners who couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The atmosphere created by Becky, Emrah and Mark makes you feel like your an old friend. They were helpful before our arrival through emails and once we arrived, just kept it up. The place is lovely with a beautiful little pool (too cold in April to go it) and a lovely outdoor terrace and open air restaurant. We were the only guests staying as it was early in the season, so we had everything to ourselves, including a fantastic dinner of authentic Turkish food. They pride themselves on their kitchen, and so they should. They also helped up to find a man with a boat to take us out for the day as we were too early for regular excursions. It was great - I hope to return!

We stayed at the Kilim last September with 2 teenage boys... From the moment we arrived (pick up from Airport was arranged by Becky) we enjoyed a wonderful holiday. We had stayed in Dalyan numerous times over the last 19 years but had not been back for over 5 years and we wondered what we would find as we were trying the Kilim for the first time. We were not disappointed... the rooms were airy (and large) and the air conditioning was well worth paying for although our room was quite cool. The fact it had a swimming pool PLUS a river front was a real bonus especially for the boys who really enjoyed their swimming. We could sit by the river looking at the Tombs and watch life go by on the boats "heaven" as this is what drew us to Dalyan after our first visit in 1993...Other parts of Dalyan have changed quite a lot but the river and its traffic is still very theraputic. The lunchtime "specials" were delicious.. breakfast was good and the barbecues were something special. I could go on about how wonderful it was, the "honesty" bar was a real good idea and Emre arranged for the boys to go Scuba diving for the first time and accompanied them which was very considerate and they had a brilliant time. No review of the Kilim would be complete without mentioning Becky, what a wonderful host, always working at something (we enjoyed watching a wedding she had arranged) but not too busy for a word or to give advice about several things. She arranged for a private trip for the hotel guests on the Olive Lounge boat which also was a great day.Another thing was that Becky treated everyone the same which was very noticeable. Several of the other guests during our stay were people who had stayed at the Kilim numerous times which in itself is a great advert....

My family and some friends have recently come back from a few nights at the Kilim Hotel in Dalyan. It's a very good hotel located reasonably close to the centre of town. They accommodated my family (2 adults and 2 children) and our friends (another family of 4) nicely. What made the experience excellent was the service. Wonderful, relaxed, helpful and very hospitable.
