Most hotels in the village are by the sea. There are quite a few, each with a special attraction though broadly similar in standard. They all have twin rooms with en suite shower and toilet, and air-conditioning.
We have often enjoyed the hospitality of the Babana hotel in Gölköy, which was stylishly refurbished and has now had its restaurant and bar area even more stylishly refurbished again.
The Mandalya hotel is just a few steps further along the beach and was our preferred hotel until the first refurbishment of the Babana. The Mandalya is also a family run hotel which still retains a more traditional style for the village and is the quieter of these 2 hotels.

In July and August Gölköy and Türkbükü is a very popular area for Istanbul Turks. They fill the hotels and their summer houses and the atmosphere of the village changes from peaceful to more a lively and party-going style.
