Magical experience
Pros:

The host amazing person. Proper local who helps and take care of everything. He arranged a local pick up for us from bus station very reasonable price. I felt very safe with my kids as a single mother staying in the KONAK. The landlord amazingly helpful and take care of everything, such as little bus to centre , to warmness of our room. He even made us to introduce to local people. The next day we woken up the snow. Which made our stay into a magical landscape. My son and I loved felt safe and well looked after and spoiled by the gentleman who is very honest kind ,caring hotel owner. He made extra mileage for his guests which made this place exceptional. He is not money oriented people who just wants to rip you off as tourist. We felt like proper guest looked after well by the owner. The best part was the kittens. It is truly magical land and hotel.

Cons:

Nothing everything was perfect.

Pros:

You should be aware of that hier is a very old house. So you don’t have the comfort of the hotel.
But it’s interesting to spend a night here and feel how the people lived 300 years ago.

Cons:

It was a little bit cold in October.

Unique ottoman house
Pros:

It’s been amazing to stay in such a unique house. The village where it is located is awesome, for us even more beautiful (less touristic, more genuine) than Safranbolu itself. Selçuk is kind, ready to help and available for conversation:)

Cons:

Nothing

難忘且奇特的體驗
Pros:

這是一個600年老村莊的300年房子,非常有鄂圖曼特色。附近一些房子已頃廢,剩下一些老人在賣當地特產,民宿只有這一間, 主人很棒還帶我們導覽村莊,幫我們提大行李上下樓。有兩間咖啡店有賣餐食。

Cons:

距離市區十公里很遠沒有開車應該很困難進出,住在4樓當然沒有電梯,房間五味雜陳有木頭腐朽味,煙味,絨毛沙發應該很難清潔,廁所發霉嚴重且排水管設計有異有尿騷味,3樓有很多貓很臭,第二晚忘了開熱水等了一小時水才30度很冷。對整潔要求高的人請繞道,家庭有老人及小孩的請慎重考慮。(番紅花老城美到令人難忘)

The perfect stay
Pros:

Everything was amazing, the place, the host, the room, the village, the cats…. Had the best time here, relaxing in the countryside while also visiting historical places like Yoruk and Safranbolu. It is truly an experience that you will rarely get somewhere else. It felt like sleeping in a museum, but also being part of the host’s family, he will truly look after you from the moment you book the room. What a treat, and what a fortune to have found such a place. I am sure we will come back sometime in the future, and I truly hope to find this gem again. Thank you for everything!

Comfortable stay in a historic house near Safranbolu
Pros:

An interesting and comfortable stay in a historic house a short drive away from Sanfranbolu. The manager, Selçuk, is very hospitable and knowledgeable about the local village & surrounding region. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through the area!

Pros:

An Unforgettable Night in a 300-Year-Old Dream!

Rating: ★★★★★

Our stay at this incredible 300-year-old house in the Yoruk Village near Safranbolu was a highlight of our trip to Turkey. The true magic of this place is the host, Selcuk.

From the moment we arrived, Selcuk welcomed us with immense warmth and generosity. He is not just a host; he is a storyteller and a guardian of local history. He kindly took the time to guide us through the village, sharing fascinating stories and knowledge that we could never have found in a guidebook.

The house itself is a living museum, full of character and charm, made even more delightful by the presence of many adorable cats roaming around. Staying here felt like stepping back in time, but with all the comfort of a heartfelt welcome.

We felt truly cared for and left with not just memories, but a feeling of having connected with the soul of this place. Thank you, Selcuk, for your selfless hospitality and for a truly magical and unforgettable night. This is a must-experience for anyone seeking authenticity and warmth!

Pros:

What a great place, very unique, 300-years-old mansion. I loved it. The beds are comfortable.
The village itself felt like I was in the past. Wow!

Cons:

Yoruk village is a bit far from Safranbolu and the buses aren't frequent. If you have early morning bus, you should book something near Safranbolu.

Selçuk is a wonderful host and the historical house is beautiful. A very special place.
Pros:

Selçuk is a wonderful host and the house is beautiful. The descriptions are very accurate and we felt very comfortable. This is a very special place and the atmosphere is unique. Selçuk knows a lot about the place, history in general and is a very engaged host. If you expect a standard hotel experience with all the standard procedures, this is not the right place for you. However, if you want to experience a truly unique location with a wonderful host that attracts very interesting people you will love the place. We always wanted to stay in an ottoman house that was not too much Disneyland and Paphlagonia Yorük Muratoglu Konak really was such a place. We definitely would like to return some day and we will definitely recommend the location to friends & family.

Lieu incroyable!
Pros:

Le lieu est incroyable. Un petit village dans les hauteurs. Selçuk et sa mère sont des hôtes formidables. Nous avons eu un tour du village et des explications historiques. Et si vous aimez les chats, alors ce manoir est pour vous!
Nous recommandons vivement.
