We loved our stay at Goknar, we wish we stayed longer! The staff were friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond to make our stay special and by the time it was time to leave, it was like we were seen off by family. The breakfast was great, I looked forward to waking up every morning just to have it! We also had a couple of other meals at Yergok (the restaurant within Goknar) and everything we had were absolutely delicious! The private bay was absolutely divine, we had a great time snorkelling there and it's such a great to place to relax and lose track of time. The highlight of the trip were definitely the sunsets and the stargazing, Goknar is the spot for it!

We went in July where Turkey is at its hottest, it limited the amount of outdoor activities we wanted to do. It would be great to return when it gets cooler to really make the most of everything Goknar had to offer.

The location is absolutely superb. The management and staff were extremely accommodating and service minded. There is a beautiful beach at the feet of the cliff which can be easily reached on foot, although the owner makes several daily trips up and down in his pickup. The view is spectacular and the pool area and terrace are wonderful. The food is quite good. The manager is extremely friendly and allowed us to do a late checkout free of charge.

Not much, but note that as this is an eco-lodge running entirely on solar power, not all rooms are equipped with AC, which can make them very hot in the peak of summer. This is clearly indicated when booking, so if this is an issue pay attention to it.

Goknar Knidos is set in an absolutely unique location in the entire Datça Peninsula. Surrounded by unspoiled nature and breathtaking views, it offers a truly peaceful experience far from the crowds. While it is not a luxury/fancy hotel, it has a special charm and a deep connection with nature. What really makes the difference though is the incredibly dedicated and passionate staff, sharing their love for the area and making every guest feel at home. Breakfast is also very good. We would love to come back in the future!

Nothing :)

Incredible place, it has the most beautiful view of the Aegean sea ever. Only for lovers of nature, quiet beaches and peace. Breakfast super delicious in a terrace facing the sea and Knidos bay. Dinners full of Turkish exceptional appetizers and main dishes under a night sky filled with stars that only such an unpolluted place can show. Service from owner and staff is consistent with the great Turkish hospitality, they made our stay as comfortable and special as possible. I have wonderful memories of every single day spent there and I hope that I will be able to return for many more unforgettable holidays .

Göknar Knidos became a home, 3000 km away from home for us. Staff was great, Mr. Talat did everything and even more to give us a nice vacation time. They were all helpful, suggesting new places, offering new adventures, even rewarding our little discoveries 😂 I can frankly suggest everyone that is looking for a retreat house, away from everyone and everything, to find peace and joy in their vacations. And the sunsets are a total experience 😉

The last 2 kms of the road is a bit hard, I suggest an automatic car to go there, a 4x4 would be even better. And the road to the sea can be tough for some people, but Mr. Talat offers picking up and taking down with his 4 wheel drive 😉

MAGNIFICENT PLACE. Excellent rooms, truly delicious breakfast. Isolated from the rest of the world, perfect for disconnecting from space and time and dedicating time to yourself and the person you're traveling with. It has a charming private beach. It's just a short walk from other beautiful, empty beaches. The splendid ruins of Knidos are a 10-minute drive away. The owner is extremely welcoming and helpful. We spent a day with him visiting various sites on the peninsula (all for free).

Incredibly peaceful place, with very friendly owners. Feels like a slice of paradise — eating ripe figs straight off the tree, spending all day by the pool, perfect sunsets, private beach, watching shooting stars on the sun beds at night, simple but very tasty dinners. Honestly one of the most romantic and secluded hotels I’ve ever seen. We spent two nights here and never left the property — it had everything we needed and was wonderfully relaxing and special.

The hotel uses solar power — it’s not possible to use the air conditioning after sunset. That’s fine, it must be crazily hard to run a hotel off-grid, but if we’d known that in advance, we would have booked the notably cheaper rooms without A/C.

Great location for those who want to be disconnected with the world for a while: away from any places, great sky star in the nights, amazing sunset view point, pool overlooking the sea and the mountains Great friendly staff ready to help Nice food and breakfast on site Transfer to the beach Great sea view from the room They let me stay in the room till 5 pm on the check out date

No AC in the room makes it hot to sleep, ventilator doesn’t help too much

Amazing. We loved everything. But more than anything the atmosphere, the relaxed nature of everyone there. The owners and staff make you feel at home. We wish we knew more about this hotel before planning our vacations in turkey, and would have stayed there for a whole week or two! We suggest coming to this hotel and taking your time to adapt to it. Learn to live a tranquil life, follow the rythms of nature here. Bring a nice book and just enjoy the pass of time. Nature is beautiful, surrounded by olives, figs, vineyards, and so much more. There is a beautiful private beach you could swim naked if you want. Such a difference from being a few days earlier in the crowded streets of bodrum or kusadasi full of intense and sweaty tourists. We just loved laying down by the pool or in the beautiful dining place watching the nature and the beautiful view of the sea and islands change as a beautiful painting each hour. Very nice to be able to sit down at night in the bar and have a nice talk with Talat (owner). 10/10. We hope to come back in the future. Greetings from Ecuador!

A wonderful peaceful remote location in the middle of pure nature with a great view over the sea. A pool is available but you probably would prefer to go down to the small hidden private beach protected by rocks left and right and maybe you will see the milky way in the night or you enjoy the sea shimmering in silver by the light of the moon. You will like this place when you really open your mind.
