Guest Reviews
- Rimvydas (9/5): Labai gera - Viskas puiku, šeimininkas mielai bendrauja
- Cem (9/5): - Very friendly and accommodating hosts, in a classic turkish apartment. The room has its own airconditioner and the hosts provide an exclusive bathroom to guests. A pick-up and drop-off service is provided by the host for a reasonable fee but if you're taking the metro it can be a decent walk from Gokturk station.
- Eleonora (5/5): -
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing hosts who are super generous and kind. Highly recommended for any length of stay. The location is perfect if you have a long layover, it's easy to get to the city or airport by metro. Pickup and drop off by host is super affordable compared to other hotels that we looked at.
- Kori (10/5): Convenient spot with friendly people. - The hosts communicated well and assisted me with any questions I had or help I needed.
- Yazen (9/5): Efficient - Loud humming noise at night. Not as quiet as a hotel but ok.
- Kathy (10/5): Comfortable and clean, extremely hospitable hosts - Perfect place to stay for a night layover in Istanbul. Nothing
- Martin (10/5): Lovely stay with excellent hosts who make you feel welcome - Excellent location to access the metro and lovely welcoming hosts who couldn’t do enough to help
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dmitrii (10/5): Exceptional -
- Farah (10/5): Best accommodation for a long layover - The hosts were very accommodating, kind, and helpful, I felt very safe as a solo female traveler and it was very convenient for my long layover in turkey. reaching there was extremely easy by metro if you choose not to use the private transportation offered by the property, and I was given plenty of privacy and amenities. The breakfast was healthy, delicious and filling. The accommodation had a very homey and comfortable feel to it and I would definitely stay there again.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are wonderful!
- Renata (8/5): Like visiting a very close friends - Very good atmosphere, friendly owners, simple but cozy. Felt like at home. Nice stay if you have a layover in Istanbul. The owner offered a pickup service from and back to the airport. Very convenient.
- Bakur (9/5): Superb -
- Nayyar (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay. Ideal location, very helpful and friendly hosts. Super Clean apartment.
- Arsenii (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and great hosts! Close to Couchsurfing experience, when owners live in the same apartment, home vibes Nothing bad. If you have cat allergy - note that a cat lives there as well
- Rhonda (9/5): Great IST layover stay - Friendly & hospitable
Super accommodating airport transfer
Quiet atmosphere
- Rasil (10/5): Cozy room in a center of Göktürk - Not far from IST (new airport), just two stations from it by metro line 11. The cheapest way to get to the accommodation.
It’s located on a street with lots of shops, cafes and other retail. 10 minute walk from metro station and to a center of Göktürk (district of Istanbul).
A host Janis is a nice and kind lady. For those who used to stay in hotels it would be a bit different, but anyway it’s good.
This is just a room in a private duplex with access to WC and kitchen
- Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional Personal Stay - This stay is an example of why I don't book hotels. I walked into this home as a stranger and left less than 24 hours later with two new friends. This is an exceptional place with an exceptionally kind couple. You will not be disappointed with this choice! Highly recommend! Not a thing!
- Michael (10/5): Look no further for a reliable istanbul layover. - Great location for a layover, wonderful hosts who could not do more to make it a memorable stay no matter how brief. Fab breakfast, private bathroom, comfy and clean. Excellent!!! Nothing.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Nothing.
- Denis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leonard (10/5): Lovely place with generous hosts for a layover. - Jannis and Bulent are so generous and really great hosts. We enjoyed our layover there very much.
The room is in a flat. You can have privacy in the room or go into the living room with them for a chat. -
- Anastasiya (10/5): Safe, welcomed, comfortable. - Hosts are exceptional and very hospitable! Room is comfortable, location is safe. I will stay again and in fact I have already recommended it to friends.
- Koen (9/5): Lovely stay with Janis and Bulent! Very hospitable couple, metro to airport close. Will book again. -
- Robert (10/5): Nice place for a short stay near the airport - Very friendly hosts - even provided a fresh home-made breakfast in the morning before I left. They also provided a quick pick-up and drop-off service between the property and the airport. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The town itself (if you have time to explore) actually has many cafés, restaurants, even a pub, and has a small forest with walking trails to the north. I kind of wish I had stayed for more than a quick night's layover! Everything exceeded expectations, especially for the price paid.
- Kumari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eldar (10/5): Close to the airport, very good host, very comfortable room and bathroom. Recommended. - Close to the airport, very good host, very comfortable room and bathroom. Recommended.

Restaurants with delicious food in Gokturk.
Tasty breakfast before travel, early in the morning.
Hosts! Thank you for all :) ---
- Llewelyn (10/5): Worth having and would like to do it again if i ever need to get easy way into Istanbul from the air - The welcoming of the owners. The way they opened their house up to me for a night, and took care of me whiles i fell ill at the time
- Geoff (10/5): Great value - Brilliant value for a short stay and the hosts couldn’t do enough for you.. As was the transfer service.
Great location for a short stopover, plenty of nice bars and restaurants in the town..
Would love to meet the hosts again sometime

- Robert (9/5): Will stay again. - Host was very nice. Will stay again! Nothing.
- Iuliia (10/5): Exceptional - Highly recommend this apartment! My hosts were very friendly and talkative, apartment is very convenient with good wi-fi speed and close to metro station, a lot of stores and cafes around. If I would back to Istanbul then I chose it again
- Konstantin (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely and silent stay with a story behind, lovely hosts to talk to!
- Eugene (10/5): Exceptional - It was our first experience to rent just a room, but it was great! The hosts were very polite, kind and welcoming. He had had everything we needed. We've been fed a delicious breakfast. Also we had really interesting conversations and was able to pet all the pets (a cat and a dog).
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and cosy room, and very friendly and welcoming hosts. Felt at home there. 10-15 minutes walk from metro.
- Anastasiia (9/5): Superb - The owners of the place are very hospitable and lovely people. They helped us a lot with many questions that we had. Really recommend this accommodation!
Nice place close to the airport. But there is a metro and bus stop if you need to go to the city.
- Maxim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rob (10/5): Exceptional - Welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast
- Marianna (9/5): Nice home stay 15 min from the IST airport - The hosting couple is really great. Bulut picked up us at the airport though the plane was delayed for 2 hours. So we arrived late at night after midnight. I felt bad as after meals at the airport I had a terrible stomachache. We passed by a pharmacy and brought the necessary medicine. The apartment was clean and cozy. There’s an air conditioning, but we just opened the windows..In the morning we had a homemade breakfast. Cheese, olives, toasts, tomatoes, melon, milk and ayran. Eggs are also available. The airport is 15 min drive. The car is clean.
- London (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything, Bulut and his wife are a very nice people, very welcoming and very helpful, Bulut picked us up from the airport at 1 in the morning and was extremely helpful, will definitely recommend it Nothing
- Branislav (9/5): Superb - The accommodation is near the airport, which is what we needed. You can use the metro. It is about a 16-minute walk from the metro station, or you can arrange a ride to and from the airport with the host for an affordable price. Then it's 15 minutes. The host is very communicative, we spent an interesting time with them talking about Turkey. They explained many things to us and thus we were able to get into the thinking of people in Turkey. They helped us solve one of our difficult problems while being very proactive. They gave us more than we asked for. We also had a delicious breakfast included in the price.
There are shops, fast food shops and restaurants around the accommodation.
- Irdhawati (8/5): Good place, but far away from the center - The owner is very helpful and friendly, near the bus stop for public transportation. We can find a lot of shops in that area. If you have activities in the city center, you spent long time on the way, because it is far.
- Dr. (10/5): An excellent place and amazing friendly hosts, I would book it again! - I stayed with my son at this property, it was great. Hosts Bulent and Janis were amazing and very friendly. They made our stay really enjoyable. I used their airport shuttle service, and it was reasonably priced and in time. I enjoyed my stay, and I will definitely book this room again next time I fly to Istanbul. I honestly recommend this place for anybody who needs a place beside the airport, and it was easy to go to the city center from the property. Wi-Fi was fast and breakfast was delicious. Nothing. Everything was great!
- Novolotskaya (10/5): I had a good time. - The breakfast was good. The host picked me up from the metro station. The host was very friendly and hospitable. I felt like home.
- Nelson (10/5): Awsome place near Istanbul international airport. - This place was so cozy! Very near the airport (10 minutes walk from Metro station). Kind and interesting hosts, we had a nice conversation. And the bed was so nice that I didn't wanted to get up. No complains, totally recommended.
- Aleksej (10/5): comfortable, welcoming and clean. - Brilliant house and very very close from the airport. The owners of the house are absolute Star! Very welcoming and supportive, Breakfasts are included and was very surprised to find a jar for Marmite on the table. Towels and fresh bedsheets are always there including the WIfi and the dishwasher. Apartment is located in very comfortable and safe area and Istanbul city center is easily reached by Public transport.
Thank you both for a wonderful and welcoming 2 weeks! :)
- Yujia (10/5): lovely room and flat, wonderful landowner! - the landlady are very kind and friendly who helped us a lot during the stay including not just cooking breakfast for us but also giving many useful tips and advice. the room is cosy and clean, just like living in your own flat.
- Tanvir (10/5): Exceptional - ****Honest review****
While coming to istanbul, i was little worried as I am coming to a new city. But when I met Bluent who came to the airport to pick me up, i was little relaxed. He was friendly and trustable.
After reaching to the house, I met with Janis (Bluents wife) and she changed my thought fully. She was soo nice and humble. Very friendly and motherly. She cooked really delicious food.
Complimentary breakfast was really nice. They maintain high level of cleanliness and hygine. Toilet and shower were nice. Bed was clean and very comfy. Room was big and has a nice view. Overall, the property exceed my expectation. I missed their humbleness and hospitality once i left istanbul. It seems like i was in my own house and my parents were taking care of me.
For the new comer guest,
Dont forget to try janis chicken masala curry. I bet you will love it. Also try to learn some turkish lesson from janis. She is good at teaching turkish.
Best of luck.
- Alex (8/5): Very good - Jenis& Bulent are great hosts, the room was cleaned and well prepared, it gives you a feeling you are safe and comfortable like at home I was not really targeting Gokturk as my area of stay, not sure how I ended up booking this place as I am sure the map I was looking for was Levent.
