Guest Comments

Some of the comments from our recent guest book...

December 2003, an Australian guest:

I came to Sanliurfa to at least see a little of Kurdish culture on the streets -- my stay with you, though only for four short nights, has so far exceeded my expectations that I'm really going to miss you all. I guess I really am a 'lucky girl' to have met Aziz at the otogar.

November 2003, an Italian guest:

Grazie Aziz, per l'ottima accoglieuza melle tua splemdida famiglia. Spero di poter venize di muova e presta a trovardi per passare con voi altin gioini piacevoli. Grazie Ferida per le tua aicima ottima e il tuo accogliente sorrisa. Ciao Pasha, spero da oliventerai mu bravo persona come tuo padre de grande.

October 2003, an American guest:

When you arrive at the otogar you are simply a tourist, but when Aziz finds you, you become family. Aziz and Ferida will welcome you into their home, and a Kurdish home is the best home. The food is great, the people are even better. It would be foolish to stay anywhere else in Sanliurfa.

October 2003, an American guest:

I'm going to make this short and sweet. If you don't stay here you are crazy! Great people, great location, great food, great price! What more could you want? I'm serious. You should stay here!

September 2003, a Swiss guest:

Ferida is doctor, mother and cooks like an angel. Aziz can drive with broken down cars, jokes and will be your best father outside your family. Pasha likes football and he really likes his cat! (or does he? I don't know) if you want to stay in a real Kurdish family, if you want to join one of Aziz's famous guided tours or if you want to be just happy for a few days ... Come to this pension!

November 2003, a Japanese guest:

後でわかることだが、この宿はまず場所がいい。オトガルへは徒歩で10〜15分で簡単に行けるし、なによりも、見どころとなる「聖なる魚の池」、「バザール」、「シャンルウルファ城」へすぐに行ける(徒歩3分)。このペンションの2階からはウルファの町が見わたせた。アジズの妻フェリーザと息子のパシャもすごく親切。この土地の人々はほとんど英語を話せないので、この家族の英会話能力には助けられた。今、どうしようか迷いながらこれを読んでいるあなた。ここに決めてください。貧乏旅行者で、ドケチで、おくびょうなくせに危険な場所好きなわたしが言うのも変だが、ここは安全で、あたたかくて、効率がいい。

August 2003, an Isreali guest:

Well, if you are looking for a warm hospitality and authentic experience -- this is the place! Aziz, Ferida and Pasha are great, they will take care of you, help you, the good is great, we really had a great time here due to them. So have a good time in Turkey and take care!

August 2003, a Belguian guest:

Het is een aangemame plaats om te verblijven. Geen comfort maar o zo authentiek. Slapen op het dak is een aanrader (voor de koelte). Het ontbijt en het avondmaal is eenvoudig moor heel lekker. Ferida staat voor alles klaar. Dank u. Aziz gidst goed (Harran) moor maak voorof goeie (Financiele) afspraken.
