It is a brilliant location on the river opposite the rock tombs for which the area is rightly famous. the owners and their staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was a basic Turkish fair but plenty of it and well served. Everything was spotlessly clean.

in honesty, it is overdue a makeover and the furniture and fittings were of a Turkish style of say 40/50 years ago in the main, the small bathrooms were newer, if you are happy to swim in the river it is ok but if not there is no pool.

Beautiful, quiet location and right on the river. The deck and the garden are excellent places to chill out, swim, or read a book. The extensive and tasty Turkish breakfast buffet is served at the same riverfront, if you’re lucky you can spot a happy looking Caretta sticking its head out of the water every now and then. Very friendly and attentive owners and staff. Rooms are on the small side but well equipped and fit for purpose. Would be very happy to return one day to this lovely place.

Superb location on the river in the middle of a lush garden. Very friendly owners and a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Good breakfast on the banks of the river. A wonderful place to explore the Dalian Delta and the Istuzu beach.

Not meant as a critique but the rooms are very small and dark. If you have lots of luggage it is a bit of a challenge. The whole place lives from the outside settings, the beautiful garden, river and the friendliness of the owners. Not meant as an inside stay.

Just the loveliest little garden backing on to the river (you can swim!) and the nicest Turkish breakfast anywhere (I will come back just for the pişi!). The owners are chill and welcoming. An easy 10 mins walk puts you in the centre of town. The local boats can pick you up from the backyard.

There’s nothing not to like. It’s a basic bed and breakfast and the rooms are small and a bit dated (particularly the bathrooms), but perfectly comfortable.

This hotel is in a beautiful location, on the river opposite the rock tombs. The gardens are beautiful, the staff are lovely and the whole place has a calm, tranquil vibe.

Nothing.

The best location you can stay in Dalyan. This is my second time in this hotel and everything looked better. Amazing views facing the rock tombs. Staff is very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Close to the town center. So peaceful and quiet in the night. Would recommend it.

Incredible place, charming, natural, beautiful. Very calm and serene, the perfect place for nature lovers and whoever is looking for a break away from the confusion of the mass tourism. They have various species of birds, well cared, they have access to the river where you can swim, and can easily call a boat to get you to the beach. The owners are caring and heart warming, very nice and genuine people. The breakfast is very good! We will surely stay with them again when we come back to Dalyan.

Exceptionally located on the river. In a quiet lane a little walk away from town. A very pretty garden to relax in. Boats to various trips can pick up and drop off directly from the hotel.

Nothing not to like, maybe the rooms may feel a little sparse for some.

Great location. Friendly owners, clean and comfortable faciities. Able to sit by the river, watch the traffic on the river and viewfamous rock tombs opposite. famous rock tombs. Quirky with well tended mature gardens. Short drive to town which was lovely with interesting shops and plentiful eating and drinking otions. Well worth a visit.

Ability to make hot drinks in the room would be welcome.

We enjoyed our stay at Happy Caretta! This charming hotel is set in a beautiful garden right on the river with a lovely view of the Rock Tombs. The owners are a lovely couple who were very helpful and kind. The room and bed were very comfortable though the bath was a little small. The Turkish breakfast was basic but good. A great value stay for exploring beautiful Dalyan.
