The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Bodrum Ecofarm Camp & Hostel is a hostel in a large farm with orange, pomegranate, and quince trees and a piece of land for vegetables. Breakfasts and dinners are included, and in summer these will be made from organic vegetables from the garden. There are chickens, turkeys, and a dog.
The Location
This hostel has a good location for nature lovers. The eco-farm is placed between another farm just on the road between Turgutreis and Gumusluk. So it is easy to get a minibus to any of these towns, just outside of the mail farm gate. The closest town, Turgutreis, also can be reached in twenty minutes' walk. From there, it's possible to go to Bodrum by minibus (about thirty minutes away). Nearby there is a supermarket (about ten minutes' walk away), a beach within twenty minutes' walk and some hiking trails. Parking is possible near the gate, outside the farm.
Rooms and Bathrooms
There few buildings that are using as mixed dorms and private rooms. The dormitory for eight people with a bathroom inside is located just next to the building with a kitchen. The room is large but inside are only beds, and no private lockers or door locks. The other mixed dorm is for four people and located in the old building where the owner lives. The bathroom includes a sink, one toilet, and two showers. There is soap, and hooks for towel or clothes. Two bathrooms with two toilets each are placed in the separate building, near the kitchen. Also it's possible to rent a tent or set up your own tent on the farmland.
Common Spaces
There is not any special reception place. Every meeting with the owner and other guests usually happens in the common building that looks like a large covered room with the earth floor. There is a simple kitchen with tables, fridge, and sinks that anyone can use. And there is a sitting area with sofas, tables, and board games. Wi-Fi works in this room and around it. Outside, there are hammocks, armchairs, a large dining table, and children's playground.
Summary
Bodrum Ecofarm Camp & Hostel has a very friendly atmosphere that's ideal for backpackers and for families with children. The hostel is based on the help of volunteers. It is a perfect place for travelers who love nature and want to relax away from the big cities. It's good for outdoor activities -- yoga, swimming, and hiking and there are also workshops and music evenings. The hostel also has a pickup service from Turgutreis.
