The family run hostel is great! Meral is very friendly and it was nice to be able to sit and chat with her. I moved over to this hostel from another one because I had heard about how lovey the family was and how FANTASTIC the food was! The food is really really amazing and you get a full buffet to pick from! It really was a lovely, relaxing time and Meral makes sure to make you feel right at home.

we the bathroom was very clean, but small. there are outdoor washrooms/showers available though (like a campground). Food was AMAZING! home cooked by grandma. we chose to stay in the bungalow vs the tree house. very cozy, has AC and heat. Staff were very friendly, helpful. Quiet place, very relaxed. Wi Fi was excellent. The beach is a 10 minute walk; very scenic.

Pretty family run guesthouse set in an Orange Grove... good people, friendly atmosphere, delicious traditional Turkish food. Cute pine cabins with furry blankets. Lots of cosy nights playing music around the bonfire - perfect.

I stayed there early October and it has been my favorite place in Turkey. It's a nice place to get away to. The staff is so nice and the food is amazing! I love the set up outside and that they are located near the beach.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saban. The cabins were bare and basic with mattresses on the floor, but we were happy with that. Loved the setting amongst the garden and fruit trees. The breakfast and dinner was fresh, plentiful and very tasty. Enjoyed relaxing in the shady pavillions in the compound playing back gammon and reading.Friendly, helpful staff. Thanks for a great stay. Only suggestions are to get some more padlocks for the rooms and maybe a shelf in the cabins.

I really enjoyed my stay at Saban. I loved the relaxing serene atmosphere, it has a great location, and the food was fantastic probably the best breakfast I had during my vacation in Turkey, the dinner was also awesome. We stayed in one of the tree houses, I'm not a really outdoors type person, but I loved it and wish I could've stayed another night. I would definitely come back anytime.

Great outdoor area. Fantastic food. Drinks overpriced compared to other pensions in the same street. Also we paid more for them to organise bus tickets than other pensions that friends were staying at. Food tasted fantastic.

Saban pension is a very nice place, in a good location close to Olympos ruins and the beautiful beach. It is quite and relaxing, with an excellent quality/price ratio. Included in the price, a good Turkish breakfast and a rich buffet dinner. Drinks are excluded but not too expensive. If I have the chance, I will definitely go there again!
