Layla Gocek Adults Only

Loved our time at Layla! Gorgeous pools & greenery, very boutique & chilled feel. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was lovely - note that given the location & the way it’s built, we got a few hornets etc in the room which we had to usher out, which didn’t bother us but might other people. A dog & some cats wandering the grounds - I’m not a huge animal person but loved all of them, especially the dog! Overall a great place to stay for a relaxing & authentic holiday, but if you’re looking for pristine rooms/ no nature etc this might not be for you

A small and magical Thailand within Türkiye. A quiet, leisurely holiday in nature, under palm trees, with roosters and rabbits, just what we were looking for. We were enchanted and healed. 100% recommended

FILTHY RAT’S NEST 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 blasted late into the night, making sleep impossible. Finally, the Wi-Fi barely reaches several rooms, making the stay even more frustrating. We deeply regret wasting three nights of our wonderful trip in this dreadful hotel, and we sincerely hope others are lucky enough to avoid it.
