Safari Tentalow in Artvin Province

"Beautiful scenery that is worth the adventurous drive up. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and it seems like a warm family-run business. They speak good english too. Breakfast was great with the surprisingly very fresh bread and their delicious Turkish cheese plate. Lunch and Dinner menu is also delicious, but it is limited, which is fine given that people usually stay for 2-3 nights in such bungalows. We had the duplex with the jacuzzi outside the room which was great with breathtaking scenery. It had curtains too if you need privacy, as the other rooms do see the jacuzzi clearly if you don’t close the curtains. Overall, it was a very nice experience that I highly recommend!"

"Nice hotel. Friendly staff. No free parking as stated, just find a space in a very busy street. "

"What a wonderful stay we had at the Ayder Villa de Pelit Hotel! The staff, Yusuf and Sena, took such great care of us. The room was very clean and welcoming with an amazing view and fireplace. We had an amazing dinner that was served in our room and the included breakfast was better than most of the very expensive Turkish Breakfasts you get at major resorts. I recommend this hotel highly. The only slight issue was we weren't sure how to get there and climbed a very steep hill when we didn't need to! Be sure to call the hotel when you arrive and the will instruct you an easier way to arrive and they carry your luggage for you. All in all, an amazing stay!! We will definitely be back! "

"We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the bus station. The reception staff were welcoming, helpful and spoke good English. The rooms seemed to have been recently upgraded. The room was very clean and adequate. None of the bed side reading lights worked. There were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Adjacent to the hotel is a large tea factory which operates 24/7 and was quite noisy. Opposite the hotel is a large gravel / aggregate business which is not a very attractive outlook. The self service breakfast was very basic - no fruit juice or fresh fruit or freshly brewed coffee. The hotel seems to be used by coach tour groups."

"We had an exceptional stay at this family run hotel, it was perfect. The family are so nice and friendly. We had a suite room with jacuzzi, which was great. All amenities were provided and it was very comfortable. I would say this is most likely the best, welcoming place to stay in the area."

"The hotel is very lovely, location is 10/10! Totally exceeded my expectations. Rooms were clean, the staff was very polite and courteous. The only thing they have to work on is the breakfast menu, was a little poor. But will come back here for sure!"

"Beware of this property. They charged my debit card twice at the rate of $94. I contacted them and they said they will notify their bank to refund my money. They admitted in writing they charged me twice. It is now 8 weeks later and after much correspondence back and forth, they keep saying they will contact their bank again, which is obviously a lie. Expedia has been no help. At this point, it's obvious they have no intention of refunding my $94. Dishonest people running the hotel and poor service. Stay away."

"Location is between Rize and Ayder which is ideal. Breakfast is in local style and delicious. "

"It was a great service. Receptionists were so helpful and nice. Very quite and great location. We loved the breakfast."
