Beautiful spot, a few minutes walk from beach and town center. Great location. Cozy stone room that was tucked away from some of the liveliness and noise going on at other places down below in town. Great breakfast, lots of options, with a beautiful view. Had dinner at the restaurant one night and food was also great, and charming lighting in the trees above the deck gave it a warm magical feel. We liked the stone architecture and varied levels of the hotel, though if steepness and lots of stairs are an issue this may not be for you. Friendly, helpful staff. Would stay there and eat there again.

The room was the best for a good nights sleep and a relaxing staying. The only misgiving was the barking dog and cat fights
And I think the dinner menu is rather overpriced for the experience it is. The position and proximity to the beach is good and the views from the elevation.

Shouldn’t really be called beach hotel

The only two issues with the hotel is that it’s on the side of a mountain and has steep steps to climb everywhere in the resort.
There’s LOUD music playing until 1am every night

Probably Good in the On Season?

We were on a Turkiye road trip and decided to come to Ölüdeniz for a quiet NYE. We were drawn in by the pictures of the hot tubs on the balconies! The bungalows are VERY cute and well put together but we do wish we had not come here on NYE. When we arrived, they told us they were having a party that we could join for a substantial amount (3 x what we paid for the room) but we're not really partiers and don't drink. Regardless, we were IN THE PARTY ALL NIGHT UNTIL 2AM...it was so loud... we got no rest. We wish they'd have let us know in advance so we could change our plans, especially since out hot tub didn't even work...lol. I got up early for a new year sunrise soak but it was only cold water from the tap. Then, the poor staff were so tired from the party, they were annoyed at our presence for breakast. There wasn't even coffee or drinks available. I know this sounds really complainy, but I do think the rooms are probably usually lovely...just not for NYE if you're looking for a peaceful night and quality service.

Amazing spot!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Symbols Ölüdeniz Hotel! The restaurant was a highlight, with delicious meals that made every dining experience memorable. The views were simply breathtaking, offering a serene and picturesque setting that I’ll never forget. My room was spacious, well-maintained, and very comfortable, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The location was ideal—close to everything but still quiet enough to feel like an escape. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ölüdeniz and can’t wait to come back!

DO NOT STAY HERE - GIANT SPIDERS IN YOUR ROOM

Do not stay here as they have 6\" diameter giant spiders in the rooms. We checked in via hotels.com at around 5 pm... then at 10 pm while we were getting ready to sleep, we saw a giant spider on the stone walls. Called the reception, they came and killed the spider with broom and checked the room and said there will not be anymore spider, we asked to change our room and they said that they are fully booked and will not change our room. We didn't feel safe as they could could not garante that there will not be anymore spiders and we did not want to get bitten by spiders as we are travelling and two of us have allergies to insects bites.... we asked them to give us our money back as we wanted to leave and we only stayed for 5 hours... they said that they will not refund out money because we booked through hotels.com..... so we left to another hotel, I send a message to hotels.com and they said that they will refund our money and they will contact the hotel to get our refund... hotels.com contact the hotel and hotel refused to refund our money, so hotels.com told me that because hotel is refusing to refund our money, they can not refund the money to us... do not stay here at all, specially if you have kids...we have allergies to spider bites and the hotel totally ignored us, didn't give us another room or didn't give us out money back as we only stayed for 5 hours and left to go to another hotel...

5 stars all around! A 10! I travel all over the world and this place is top 10 for sure, had the single room all the way up too; room 106. Just awesome; the interior was Vermont winter cabin like. Big deck to sit out on, great room, giant shower, all modern. Reception is very welcoming and friendly; the restaurant is incredible. The mojito wasn’t the greatest; you can make it up to me next time. (Keep practicing) :). The waitstaff at dinner was courteous and professional; had the curry vegetable plate. Was awesome! Able to charge to room and pay when you check out! Big bonus. Breakfast, free, was huge, and delicious. Includes coffees too! Was able to change my US dollars to pay for my meals and then had the change to have on me for rest of journey. Everything about this place is a 10! Remember me when I return, as I absolutely will and bring others with me! Fantastic job and wonderful accommodation! Keep it up!! List your restaurant on google as it doesn’t show up at all; if I wasn’t staying there I wouldn’t have known you had a restaurant, nor does your website say it either. Have menu available online.

The Symbola is great value, I had a wonderful stay thanks to Ferihan and her team. Nothing was too much trouble for them and all were very friendly and welcoming.

The hotel is perfectly situated cut into the hillside giving great views across the beach to the lagoon with almost all day sun and a very short 4 minute walk to the beach and main Oludeniz strip. The hotel is also a short walk to a path linking Oludeniz with the Lycian way and routes up to Babadag mountain. Highly recommended.

Decent value for money

The hotel was pretty on the outside and had a pretty bar and breakfast area with nice lights up in the trees. Because the area is filled with trees, there are only certain parts of the hotel with a view. Our room looked into the side of the room next to ours. The bed was not particularly comfortable, but the accommodations were clean and good for the price.

Pluses:- the outdoor entrances to each room and covid19 prevention efforts of the staff made this place feel like a safe place to stay during the pandemic. It was a 5-10 minute downhill stroll to the public in town sandy beach and restaurants area. The staff were friendly and helpful and sent a repair man immediately when we couldn’t figure out how to open the drain in our sink. They offered a standard Turkish breakfast with nice omelets.

Thank you to all at the Symbola Beach Hotel

We had an amazing week at the Symbola Beach. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and owners. (Aertugrual and Tulin) They all went above and beyond to ensure we had a good holiday.
The Symbola is a small family run hotel with only a few rooms. It was lovely to return to its quiet serenity and a cooling deep in the pool after the hustle and bustle of the main resort and beach.
The room was kept spotlessly clean, the food was delicious and we were always greeted with smiles. A huge thank you to Oscar and the ground crew.
The hotel is almost invisible from the main resort being nestled in the side of the mountain but only 5 minutes walk away from the beach, restaurants and shops. The views were stunning, we often sat and watched the sunset after returning from the beach or the brave people that were paragliding off the top of the surrounding mountains! I didn't, my partner did!
Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and will definally be returning hopefully in the not too distant future.

Could be perfect with a little improvement.

Symbola Oludeniz has a few minor details that could be improved. The breakfast wasn't great (bread being cut near old dishes, not the cleanest crockery) and the rooms could do with new shower curtains as theirs are a little grotty and the mattresses are a bit uncomfortable. Notices in the hotel are paper printed and signs from other hotels are used in the rooms making it feel slightly unprofessional. HOWEVER, the staff were absolutely amazing. They made our holiday so much better than it could have been with their advice, accommodation and daily chats. The great staff make up for all of the short falls of the hotel. With a few improvements this could be the most wonderful place to stay. We truly enjoyed our time here.

Very nice staff, ok rooms

The staff was very friendly, but the room we stayed in had a pretty bad musty smell in the bathroom and the main room. If we had to stay there longer than one night it would have been a problem. I would have had to change rooms or hotels. It may have been that we were there only one night so we didn't get a great room, and all the others were fine, but I suspect they were probably all similar. The breakfast was good though, the hotel is in a nice and quiet location and the landscaping is very pretty.

Lovely little hotel

My sister and I stayed here for a week. The location is lovely. Bit of a walk to the lagoon but if you can't be bothered with that the main beach is only a 5 min walk max. It is up the hill but that makes it out of the way and so worth a few extra beads of sweat. Room was spotless and was cleaned everyday.
We had a room that I think I have read about before - family room. The 'small cave' (I liked it!) does cool down if you can leave all doors open and the air conditioning is never switched off. My only gripe would be that our terrace, and I think it was the same for most of the rooms, be they balcony or not, had no lighting. I love sitting out and watching the sun go down. But despite buying lots of tealights we still could not see a thing after the sun set. I was OK as I read a Kindle but my more traditional sis had to have a small pocket torch to read and wore it dangling from her ear. A lovely spot but some more lights would make it better .

Cute property

The hotel is a gem located on a hillock near the beach. The room is comfortable and has cute balconies - all amenities such as AC and mini fridge included. The breakfast was one of the few in our stay at 6+ properties throughout Turkey that offered hot items in the breakfast buffet (sausage and French toast the day we were there). Also, it is peaceful and idyllic, away from the noise of the market but close enough by a short walk (uphill on the way back though). The only drawback was that they didnt have tea coffee sachets in the room - despite having a kettle. It is a small enough nicety that helps.

LOVED this hotel. It's about 300 meters off the main strip, up a little ways so you've got a great view through the trees. It is a bit of a hike coming back to the hotel, all up hill, but really wasn't a huge deal, definitely worth it for it's location. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Great views of olu deniz

We had a warm welcome from eddie , after our late flight and arriving at 11.45pm . He is very easy to talk to and more than happy to help with anything you want , or things to do . It is wonderfully lit amongst the pine trees over looking Olu Deniz . The room(115) was a nice size and clean with an extra bed in another room if needed, good views out the windows and nice and close to the pool,bar and breakfast area . A good selection at breakfast which we took out to the pool and raised terrace every morning looking over the town and bay,with paragliders coming down the mountain to land on the sea front most mornings . You have the option of the half board meal ( 4 course i think) or an a la carte. We ate there on 3 nights and more than pleased with the food that was freshly cooked each time.It is a lovely setting to eat in in the evening.We met the hotel owners on a couple of occasions who took great interest in there guests and that they were enjoying their stay. Can't wait to go back next year

Best decision I made for choice of hotel

I couldn't have been happier with my holiday. I went with my partner and was our first holiday away together. This holiday needed to be perfect so I researched this particular hotel inside and out before booking. I was honestly BLOWN away. For a 3 star hotel, it really surpassed my expectations. The views are absolutely stunning. Can see the mountains, the sea, paragliders in the sky. Absolutely beautiful.

There are however, some rooms that didn't have the optimum views... We booked a deluxe double room with a private balcony - the rooms on the lower floors don't really have separated balconies (there were other peoples belongings in 'our balcony' that was not leaving for a couple of days) and the room didn't have views as great as the upper ones. We spoke to the hotel receptionist the day that we arrived and explained we were under the impression that we would have a more private balcony etc. They said they were fully booked to move us that day so we had to wait the next day till someone checked out. So yes it was a bit tiresome having to repack and move the next day, but the hotel staff were really helpful and made the move as hassle free as possible.

That aside, the rest of the holiday was fault free and perfect. I would really recommend it for couples. Was so romantic. Definitely the best holiday I've had. I cannot rate this hotel enough. Just amazing.

Great hotel and excellent staff

We recently stayed 4 nights at the Symbola and enjoyed every night. When we first arrived we were informed that they only had two twin beds available, however the next night they could move us into a double bed. They put us in the managers room for one night which was fine. The next three nights we were in room 109 which had amazing views of the beach and ocean and was a good sized room; the vaulted ceiling helped make it bigger too. The hotel was clean and the food is delicious. Breakfast is a good buffet and you can ask for an omelet as well. Eddy was always there to help us out, whether it be another beer or just have a good laugh. He is very nice and a hard worker. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be staying here again next time in Oludeniz.

Hidden Gem!!

Just returned from an enjoyable stay here. Exactly as described on the websites, the staff are always available to help and to ensure that you have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The room we were given was perfect and this accommodation has what I would call a 'rustic' charm, with rooms built on different levels and nestled into the hillside overlooking Olu Deniz. The situation and structure of the hotel would make it challenging for anyone who has mobility difficulties, although there were some older guests there during our stay who had only positive comments. The staff were all very friendly as were the other guests we met, be it at breakfast by the poolside or around the pool terrace during the day. We also took the recommendation from Osgur (receptionist) of the 12 island boat trip which was a great day out. We had a fantastic stay here and would not hesitate to return in the future.

lovely quiet hotel

A lovely hotel, up in the hills but quite close to the centre of the resort too. Peaceful, with great service. We did ask to change rooms as our first room (111) was very dark with no balcony & overlooking stone walls. However when we moved to 115 after a couple of nights, the room was much brighter. Basic layout, but everything you need for a quiet break.

Quiet and friendly

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hotel is away from the madding crowd set on the side of the mountain. (There are lots of steps so not good for people with mobility problems) The hotel does not provide organised activities, so it was a very calm and relaxing place to stay. The rooms are comfortable and rustic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is small and we got to know lots of the other guests. There was no 'reserving' sunbeds in the morning. Breakfast good. We had dinner a few times as well - all good. Views from most rooms and the pool area lovely. The pool area is surrounded by pine trees, so it was a cool place to be on the hottest days. A fantastic hotel I would thoroughly recommend.

Friendly hotel close to all amenities

Clean, basic hotel decor a bit tired. All staff were friendly and helpful, great breakfast. There are a lot of steps so wouldn't suit people with walking difficulties. The hotel is only 5 minutes away from beach, restaurants etc but is in great woodland location and there is little noise from the town.

Excellent hotel in Oludeniz!

This was, by far, the best hotel that we stayed at during our vacation in Turkey! The hotel is built on a bit of a hill and is surrounded by beautiful trees which provide some privacy and relaxation, yet it is still close enough to walk to the beaches and city centre. The staff was extremely friendly and spoke great English. The food at the hotel (including the breakfast) was also very good. Since the beaches at Oludeniz can become quite crowded, it was nice to have the pool to relax at. I would highly recommend this hotel to others!

Comfort and peace walking distance from the strip

A clean, spacious room with decent bathroom; in a great location only a stone's throw from all the bars/restaurants/beach etc, but not too close to be kept awake. balconies can feel fairly overlooked, breakfast is free and fairly decent.

Loved this hotel - would highly recommend

We had 10 nights in the Symbola at the beginning of July and loved the place. The hotel is in a secluded and quiet located nestled in the pine trees, but yet only 5 minutes walk from all of the action in town.
The room was clean, spacious and had air conditioning at no extra charge. The view from the balcony was stunning and we never tired from watching the paragliders. The breakfasts were great (especially the omelettes cooked to order). The pool was small but perfectly formed with ample shade (if needed) from the trees and sun brollies, and the pool bar was a plus. Also the pool toilets and shower facilities were immaculate.
The free WiFi was a bonus - we could access this in the pool/restaurant area and on our balcony.
We ate a few lunches and dinners at the hotel which were very tasty and reasonably priced.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly (especially the barman/waiter Tayyar!).

Holiday in Oludeniz

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful holiday in Oludeniz and a major contribution to that was the excellent hotel we stayed in. The location was very close to the main elements of the resort but in a calm secluded location. We loved the hotel and would definitely return there.

Great location

Great location

Of all hotels around the beach of OluDeniz, this one is 400 meters from the beach easily accessible...located sidehil at the bottom of the mountains, it has a perfect view on all surroundings..Rooms are very typical, surrounded by trees...Very clean. The staff in general is very friendly...Two weeks in Turkey...5 hotels and this one will probably be the one i will remember the most. For dining, it is better to eat along the beach...

Definitely worthy of more than 3 stars.

What is there to say? Picturesque location set into the side of a mountain, 5 minutes from the beach and staff that are always happy to help. Rooms are great and the cleaner is a lovely lady, as are the rest of the hotel staff. Really can't rate this hotel highly enough and, what's more, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some of the other hotels in the area.

Unique boutique hotel.

The hotel was great and just what we we looking for. Quiet and private, about a block (3-5min walk) from the main street of Oludeniz. 7 min walk from beach. All rooms have private balcony and/or patio. Food was excellent.

The staff was very accommodating and took care of all our needs right away.

Near town, beach and all necessary amenities

This was a holiday stay, in the last week of October, in a most wonderful small rustic hotel, sheltering within a small forest of pine trees. The views were stunning, we could see the sea from the balcony and watch sunsets between the trees.

We could hear music and some noise from the town in the evenings, sometimes a little noisy from local hotels, but what do you expect in a holiday resort? But, at 12.30 every night everywhere went quiet.

I cannot wait to return to this hotel, a) because of the wonderful treatment we received there and b) it was literally a 5 minute walk to the town itself, with a little hill on the way back, so if you think you may find this a problem then this hotel may not be for you, but the hotel do offer a shuttle service, and c) the town of Olundeniz was a lovely a relaxed place to be with plenty of choice for trips and excursions and a great variety of restaurants and cafe/bars and shops. Check out a little pancake shop down an alleyway with a gourd tree growing in the middle of it, well worth the visit!

Great hotel nestled in the mountainside

Symbola was a quick 5-10 minute walk from the beach (depending on your walking speed). The management was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast had some good options, but nothing spectacular. The rooms are certainly not plush or luxurious, but were perfect for what we were looking for, which is a laid-back cozy hotel within walking distance from Oludeniz beach and restaurants.

Good location hotel could be improved

Stayed for 2 nights before our stay in Kalkan. The staff are pleasant but feel they could have been a bit more friendlier. The rooms are clean and are a good size with lovely exposed stone walks but the furniture and Devore is dated and the rooms are very dark with not much natural light.

Nice Hotel Good Location

The hotel was hidden from the road behind gardens and tree's it was like being in your own little world, room was coloured stone it was clean and the bed was comfortable it also had air conditioning which we needed as weather was very hot. We loved the balcony will really miss it as the trees and flowers plus birds (which looked like Jays) and the sun going down over the mountains was a great place to relax. To reach the hotel we had a steep but short climb plus steps which we found good exercise but we needed a sit down when we got to our room especially with the heat. Lots of paragliding from mountain top which was great to watch especially when sitting having breakfast outside by the pool.
