Reviews of Layla Gocek Adults only

Bali vibes for sure, perfect for a relaxing getaway. And make sure to dine in the evening - food was great. And loved the chickens around the property- such and amazing experinece.

The owner of the establishment, the receptionist and the staff are very smiling and friendly. The staff will come to the rescue if you call and will try to fulfill small requests. The place looks very nice, there are two pools and lots of trees, not far from the beach, there is a ping pong table and darts, there is even space to park somewhere +/- 10 cars, which is cool, considering the specifics of the location

There was incorrect information regarding the free airport transfer, which remained on the page for a week. According to the hotel representative, it was a mistake on the part of booking.com, which I am not sure about, since according to my information, each hotel can edit its own page. As a result, the hotel gave us the choice to upgrade our room to another one, which at first glance seemed better in all respects, and we chose it, but it turned out that there were periodic problems with the electricity, one of the sockets near the bed did not work, there was only one place to hang a towel, the toilet paper holder was broken, after being absent from the room almost every time upon returning there was an unpleasant smell that had to be aired. The room was cleaned by force, even if there was no "make up room" sign, while they touched the underwear that was on the bed, after contacting the receptionist with a request to tell the cleaners not to do this, nothing changed, which caused great irritation. Breakfast in this establishment is forcibly included in each room selection option and is a buffet in an open space without refrigeration, food on regular plates covered with cling film and often if you do not come at the very beginning then it is already heated, softened and there are a lot of flies around it, which completely kills your appetite. Also, a cat, a dog, chickens, a rooster and sometimes peacocks roam the territory. I do not consider this a big minus, after all, the specificity of the place in nature, but if you are a squeamish person like me then this can be annoying.

It was welcoming and we felt like home.. The rooms are so comfortable and Quiet, and the staff is amazing and very friendly

The beach was not private

To be honest nothing, just an ordinary place

Despite being an ‘adults-only’ hotel, I saw several children. Every day after 11 p.m., the hotel turned into a dead place.

Breakfast was very good. Staff were very friendly.

Food and Beveridge were way too expensive and over priced. I thought the service fee for everything you buy drink or food was ridiculous. Don't think I'll be going back to Layla Gocek any time soon.

The stay was unforgettable. I really enjoyed the time in this property. It felt exclusive and the service was really good! We will definitely come back and book directly one of the suites with the pool in front of the door.

A filthy, stinking, pest-infested, and noisy dump. Don’t be fooled by the fake, carefully staged photos posted by the property. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. At first glance, when you arrive, it all looks idyllic—this illusion collapses within minutes of checking-in. We experienced countless problems during our stay at Layla Gocek. Upon checking into one of the main building rooms (Santos), we discovered the ceiling collapsing due to a water leak. The staff’s “solution” was to move us to one of the garden bungalows (Palmiye). That turned out to be far worse. After just a short while in this room, we were horrified to find RAT DROPPINGS on the bed, and the entire place was INFESTED with droppings—photos attached. When we demanded a solution, we were moved later that afternoon to another garden bungalow, where we spent the night surrounded by spiders and crawling insects. The bathroom was in a disgusting state, again, photographic proof provided. The next morning, after informing hotel management we refused to stay in the filthy garden bungalows, we were moved to our fourth room: Eucalyptus. Once again, this room failed to meet even the most basic standards of hygiene. Ants and other bugs roamed freely on the walls, there was mold in the shower, and the toilet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. Farm animals such as chickens, peacocks, and rabbits, and domestic animals like cats and dogs wander freely across the property, leaving droppings all over the ground and terrace furniture. This turns the entire hotel into a magnet for flies and bees. These insects swarm over all the breakfast buffet food, despite the half-hearted attempt to cover some dishes with plastic wrap. The hotel restaurant’s food is not only overpriced but utterly terrible—nothing like the delicious Turkish cuisine we enjoyed elsewhere during our trip. One night, they organized a so-called Turkish dinner with live music that blast

Amazing place with unique chill vibes. Relaxed atmosphere, with many pets to watch (pet friendly place). Felt private even when full of guests. Road to the see was like in a dream or in my childhood. Beach is clean, water amazing.

The staff was very friendly and helpful The property is charming We really enjoyed the animals on the grounds

Breakfast was okay, but everything was wrapped in plastic, which looked a bit cheap The hotel feels somewhat outdated Our room (smallest category) was right next to the generator, which ran frequently due to regular power outages – very noisy The fridge made loud noises at night and woke us up several times For the price, the room was not worth it Unfortunately, we wouldn’t choose to come back

The hotel garden was beautiful and the food was very good.

It did not feel like a 4 star hotel. Everything was outdated. The food was very expensive. We had booked 3 nights but left after 1 night. The bathroom had mold.

A beautiful property in a lovely setting. All the amenities were of a high standard and the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful as well as the food of the highest quality. Nothing was too much trouble! Will definitely be staying again.

A little further out from Gocek than we realised when booking, but this wasn’t a problem!

Stunning territory. Perfect sauna and pools. Cat, dog and other pets outside. It’s makes home vibe.

Old hotel with a little bit used rooms. No hot water if there are no sun. Poor breakfast (only bread and jams)

The landscape is very green and beautiful, the staff was very helpful and always smiling.

The location is challenging especially if you dont have a car, the nearest restaurant is 20 minutes away by car. The hotel should have an all inclusive option.

A wonderful hotel where you will find peace. The staff is very kind and it is a wonderful feeling to feel that they are there to make you happy. Thank you so much for everything .

Made extremely welcome with friendly efficient staff

The staff were truly amazing. Wonderful in every way, always happy to help and very welcoming. The resort is gorgeous, so many mature palm trees, orange trees and kumquat trees. The breakfast they served daily was impressive with a lot of variety, a lot sourced from their own garden. They made the fresh orange juice from their oranges they said. Very generous. Layla is like a magical hidden away treasure and the people are the jewels in their crown.

We booked the honeymoon suite and were given a different room because it was off season and the honeymoon suite wasn’t available. This was our honeymoon so we wanted privacy. The room we were given was nice (especially the view) but it was smaller and not a suite. We were not offered compensation and we paid the same as we would have for the honeymoon suite. As we were the only people staying there the first 3 nights, we were happy with it. The last night they put people in the room right nextdoor to ours who were loud, drinking and smoking and singing late at night. This ended our stay in a negative way. With an empty resort, knowing we are on our honeymoon and it was our last night, with all those empty rooms, putting them right next to us was not a great idea. We lost our peaceful paradise and also our sleep. We didn’t know this but the walls are very thin between the rooms. Lastly, if you go off season, just note that the main pool will be empty and the restaurant, gym and spa will not be open. I think this should be noted on booking.com. It’s not fair to say you have all these things and show up with everything closed. They were also doing construction during the day with hammering by the pool, 3 out of our 4 days. The only thing that we really missed was having a restaurant on site and we wished we had known it would be closed when we booked. We had to go into Gocek for dinner in the evenings which adds another €15 for taxis unless you have your own car, which we didn’t.

It is hard to describe a perfect place like this. Even before our arrival, we felt welcomed and well informed. The place itself is not the highly polished tourist trap, it is a garden of warmth and wellbeing. The breakfast is plenty and local. Snacks, cocktails and dinner are just as amazing -- we never felt the need to eat out. Your room is being cleaned without you noticing, the peacocks are quite funny when they walk through the area. All the staff are great to talk to and the owner is a really funny and pleasant guy. All in all ... a clear recommendation! We will be back

The owners told us, they are going to add heating to one of the pools and better internet connection (maybe some mesh wifi instead of 3 different SSIDs too) - which will fix everything one might complain about. Everything else was just perfect!

Two large swimming pools, well-equipped with comfortable sunbeds etc. Large and comfortable bedroom ( in main house) with large balcony overlooking pool. Beach is a few minutes walk away, through a wooded area. Dining by the poolside or in a dedicated restaurant building if it’s cool outside.

Interesting and unusual menu didn’t always hit the spot for us.
