This guesthouse is is in beautifully converted village houses. Rooms and baths are excellent. Breakfasts are superb. Beyond that, you will soon feel enveloped in village hospitality--not just the guesthouse, but all the local restaurants we visited, were extremely welcoming. Cem, the guesthouse owner, is a delightful multilingual man who will help point you to the best local options if you wish. We especially enjoyed the hillside walk to Priene, a rare almost purely Hellenistic city ruin spread across a breezy pine forest high above the valley. But Bahab is an oasis that works excellently as a base for many sites, including Miletus, Ephesus and even Afrodesia.

There is really nothing to criticize here. One recent review complained of construction noise, but it was no longer an issue when we stayed in early June 2025.

We had a very great stay at Bahab guesthouse. Cem and his wife are wonderful hosts, making you easily feel comfortable and relaxed. The room is beautifully furnished, good bed. Nice place to sit outside, in sun or shade. Breakfast was great with home made marmelades, and lovely fried eggs and the Turkish specialities. Cem offers several suggestions for good food (great restaurant with Turkish kitchen in the village, and interesting places in direct or further environment. We planned to stay 2 days but decided to come back for a few more days on this special spot. The guesthouse is located in a beautiful environment: a little village looking over the former sea, in antique times, now totally sanded. From the guesthouse you can make visits to the most beautiful antique places in Western Turkey: Epheses, of course, but also beautiful Milete, on walking distance from the guesthouse: Priene, and also on less than an hour drive, several less well known but well kept secrets from antique times.

Nothing, the only regret was that we did not plan more days to stay!

This guesthouse is the perfect base for exploring Priene and Milet, possibly also Didyma (the latter is not an attractive town to stay, so it's worth the drive back to Bahab). The property is a short drive up from the main road through the village (over spiky heritage cobblestones). The room was beautifully furnished, very comfortable bed, good bathroom. Easy parking on the premises. There is an idyllic garden, and it's super quiet (no music, juhu!). Very good breakfast. The host (fluent English speaker) was super helpful: on a Monday, the two restaurants just minutes away were closed, so he drove me to and from a restaurant in the village as I was not keen to brave the cobblestones again in my small hire car. I am still grateful.

The one thing I missed a bit: there's no fridge in the room. Although the hosts offered the use of theirs and provided ice cold mineral water.

Outstanding! It has a fantastic setting overlooked by gorgeous mountain, beautiful courtyard, comfortable and clean rooms, delicious homemade food! Best of all, it’s the very knowledgeable and friendly owners who reflected their life philosophy (Bahab) in every corner of the B&B, with their hospitality making all the differences during our stay. We felt at home from the first moment we entered. Highly recommended, especially if you are after an authentic and unique holiday experience in a location surrounded by amazing natural beauties, Dilek National Park with flamingos and pelicans, numerous world famous ancient and historic sites, crystal clear inviting sea & beaches, Bafa Lake with excellent geological scenery and ancient sites…Hope to go back again as soon as another opportunity arises!

It is a small charming hotel, located 5 minutes by car from the splendid ruins of ancient Priene that I recommend visiting at sunset when they shine through the forest. The hotel is full of tranquility and beauty, with an owner who is dedicated to making your stay perfect. The room is very tastefully decorated in an old local style, with a large bathroom and quality sheets and towels. Breakfast, served in the charming central patio, was magnificent, all with local, homemade products. Also, we had dinner at the accommodation, a very special, romantic dinner, very abundant and of extraordinary quality. I reiterate my congratulations.

Wonderful stay with Cem and his wife. Both are genuine, compassionate people. Best breakfast during our whole Turkiye trip. Gorgeous old stone house and courtyard with colorful flowers set on a hillside with a view of the entire valley below. Nearby ruins of Priene and Miletus were very cool, and the local abandoned church and restaurant with live music felt truly authentic in this small town. Centrally located between Ephesus and Bodrum made for easy day trips to both. Highly recommend 👌

This is a little guest house where you really feel at home, you are welcome like a family member. The rooms are big, the patio is very pretty and comfortable. As mentioned by other reviews, the food is a highlight. The location is good for the Dilek National park and the archeological sites. The host gives very good information to help plan your trip.

There was bad smell coming from the pipes in the bathroom. There was quite some "movement" at night, which surprised us for such a small village (also not the fault of the hosts), including loud arguments in the street and dogs barking. The price is quite high for the location, if you are opting for dining there you can expect to spend around 60€ for two people, which is way more than I would pay at home for dining out.

Cozy guest house with friendly owners. Calming and relaxing atmosphere and great breakfasts with local dishes. The hosts are a really sweet hospitable couple that made us feel welcomed and accommodated our needs. Stylish room with the stone interior is an amazing escape from the summer heat. We had a terrace with the view into the garden with lots of green and blooming plants. Highly recommend.

I was fantastic experience, very nice locations in old Greek village, on top of a hill with the view, landlord family restored houses and gave it another life, very cozy room fully equipped, amazing tasty breakfast in a stylish place with fireplace, fresh repairment, there are new rooms with fantastic view going to be available, hope to come back soon

We LOVED our stay at Cem's guesthouse. A lovely host and we certainly would have stayed more than 1 day if we could. We really enjoyed the countryside even though it was still relatively "close" to town. A really quaint guesthouse that you can easily relax in without having to leave the property. We also paid to have the private dinner by Cem and his wife and everything was delicious. It was expensive compared to "outside" restaurant prices, but you really can't beat the homemade meal without leaving the property and definitely a fine course dinner at best. We recommend you contacting the host prior to arrange your meals. The beds were absolutely comfortable and everything was clean, modern, but still homey.
