Our stay at Kistar Cave Hotel was nothing short of magical. Nestled in Uchisar, the surroundings are quiet and serene. The hotel offers amazing views of the surrounding caves and landscapes. We intentionally chose a location away from the bustle and Kistar proved to be the perfect retreat - peaceful and secluded, yet still conveniently close to Göreme for exploring.
What truly sets Kistar apart is its exceptional hospitality. We were welcomed with genuine warmth that made us feel less like guests and more like family. Each morning began with an unforgettable breakfast lovingly prepared by the anneanneler (Nonnas). It was evident that every detail was crafted with care. From freshly churned yoghurt, an array of homemade jams, freshly baked breads, vibrant salads, and beautifully slow cooked vegetables. Every breakfast felt like a heartfelt feast, and we deeply appreciated the time and effort poured into each spread.
Despite the winter chill outside, the rooms were well heated and comfortable. Even when temperatures dipped to zero degrees, we could relax indoors in just a t-shirt.
An unexpected treat was to see the hot air balloons take off from our balcony.
There are quite a few restaurants near the hotel - from local Turkish food to Asian and Italian.
Kistar Cave Hotel is a family-owned gem, and staying here truly feels like being at home, away from home. The owners gave us lovely treats to bring home and we are so touched by their warmth and kindness.
For those seeking tranquility, authentic hospitality, and a memorable Cappadocian experience, Kistar is the place to go to.

MaronmuuI wanted to stay in a cave hotel in Turkey, so I chose this hotel. Since it is located in Göreme town, I was able to see the hot air balloons very clearly and up close.
Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. The breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of food every morning. There were also some adorable dogs at the hotel, including a cute puppy, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cappadocia. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and honestly, I have nothing to complain about. It was a wonderful stay from start to finish.

This was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.
The rooms were spacious and clean, and the views from the rooms were amazing!
The breakfast was lavish and I looked forward to it every morning. The staff were very kind and always polite.
The mascot cat, Kuroneko, was also cute.
Uchisar is at a higher altitude than Goreme, so the views are generally beautiful and I personally recommend it. (It's not too far from the hot air balloon spot either.)
I'd love to stay here again if I come to Cappadocia!

We had an absolutely wonderful 2-night stay at Noah’s Ark Cave Hotel. Staying in a genuine cave room was such a unique and memorable experience, and the room was comfortable, clean, and full of character.
The host was exceptional—friendly, caring, and always willing to help with anything we needed. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and well looked after. The team also assisted us with booking our hot air balloon flight and Red Tour, making our Cappadocia trip completely stress-free.
The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh local food, and the location was perfect for exploring Göreme and enjoying the beautiful views.
Thank you for making our stay so special. We highly recommend Noah’s Ark Cave Hotel to anyone visiting Cappadocia and would happily stay here again! 😊

HajraAlaviWe booked 3 rooms for a group of 7 people.
The air conditioner in one room was not working. When contacted, the staff who was first sent to check, insisted the AC was working and then said it was not the hotel’s problem. This was surprising and disappointing from a pure service perspective given the high reviews this property has across several booking platform.
The lady in charge of the evening shift eventually agreed the AC was not working and gave us a basket of fruit as an apology but they were not able to fix the issue until the next day and provided some pedestal fans overnight.
They again provided more fruit and bottled water the next morning before we left for our day tour as another apology.
However the service (especially the initial reaction by the staff) and amenity scores are heavily impacted by this experience.
Another issue was a slight leak from the bathtub in our room which ended up making half the floor wet afterwards every time someone took a shower. This again has resulted in a lower cleanliness and amenity score.
The hotel were able to accommodate our request to have rooms on the ground level to avoid too much climbing up and down stairs (we had members of our party who had slight mobility issues) - which was a positive, however, these rooms overlooked the road which the hotel straddles and so fairly loud traffic can be be heard throughout the day and also very early in the morning (3:30am) from those leaving for their hot air balloon trips. The rooms don’t seem to have much sound proofing. Note: this is magnified by the fact that this road is at the top of a hill so motorists have to gun their engines to get to the top making the noise louder.
These few issues overshadowed what was otherwise a decent experience.
The breakfast buffet is great with a wide variety of options - service was great at the buffet.
The rooftop terrace where you can sit and relax and watch the hot air balloons fly overhead early in the morning is another highlight.

Ni hao 짱이씨A hotel located right below Uchisar Castle, a real cave hotel. I booked this place solely for the hot air balloon view from the bathtub window, so it was a bit disappointing that the balloons didn't take off, but the scenery in the morning is also wonderful. The breakfast was excellent, and I also liked that it was quiet. All the staff are friendly. The downsides are that it is a bit far from Göreme, so there is the inconvenience of having to take taxis back and forth, and it takes a long time because you are the first to board the vehicle for any tour. I heard that cave hotels are cold in the winter, but it was warm here. I stayed for 3 days and it was great.

Goreme Treasure Cave Hotel | Aza gets rave reviews, great value for money!
This hotel is a sister property to Sultan Cave Suites, sharing facilities, but Aza offers significantly better value! The rooms are larger, have better views, and even come with their own pools. Crucially, it's much quieter than Sultan – Sultan's front-facing rooms can be noisy due to the restaurant and bar, whereas Aza is completely peaceful, ensuring a good night's sleep. If you value quiet, this is the place to be. (Sometimes you can hear hallway noise when people enter the room next door, but overall it's quiet. However, the stairs can be challenging for elderly guests).
The breakfast is incredibly generous, with the scrambled eggs and beef being a must-try. The food is plentiful and satisfying. If you want to see the hot air balloon sunrise, you can head directly to Sultan's observation deck for photos – you get the best of both worlds. The hotel's recommended excursions are a bit pricey; I suggest booking through a restaurant owner in town for much better deals.
The SPA experience was a wonderful surprise – professional techniques and just the right amount of pressure. It offers far better value than other places in town and is my top pick for relaxation.
What was most heartwarming was that my non-refundable booking dropped in price upon arrival, and Trip.com proactively refunded the difference. The hotel even upgraded me for free to a suite with a fireplace! A staff member kindly helped chop wood and start the fire. Listening to the sound of wood chopping in the courtyard and watching the warm glow of the fire in the room truly enhanced the cave accommodation experience – it was unforgettable.
The cave room was very comfortable, the pool view was absolutely stunning, and the overall experience was perfect. If you're coming to Goreme, you can't go wrong with this place!

We stayed here 3 nights. December.
Simple hotel with an open courtyard & we were in quad family room.
When booking, we requested for cave room as we see there are pics of room that does not look like cave. Upon arrival we were given non-cave room (because it's a slightly bigger room compared to cave) we like that it's at level 1. Right at courtyard. It is convenient & nice to just hangout there. We checked with reception and requested to stay in a cave room. The reception was very helpful & allowed us to change for the next two nights after showing us how the cave room looks.
My teenage girls love Lucky the dog (part of the reason why we picked this hotel) after reading reviews, and there are also 3-4 cats. They totally enjoyed the stay having these cute company.
Breakfast was good enough & location is good too. We took bus to uchisar, even to derinkuyu on our own. Not too tough. Bus station within walking distance.
Only hope to improve is the cave room toilet can be very stuffy. And the shower area can be curtained to prevent water from splashing around.
Overall we are happy with our stay. And all the staff are helpful & nice.

Guest UserThey were happy to accommodate both early check-in and late check-out.
The terrace seating was excellent!
However, the hot water stopped working on the second night, and although they tried to fix it for an hour, I had to put up with a lukewarm shower, which was disappointing. It was a shame, especially since the hotel had a bathtub.

The overall experience is good. We were worried that it would be cold in the cave. However, the temperature was comfortable, and you can control it. Also, there was really good wi-fi.
However, we had a few issues there:
1. The kettle is broken and should be changed
2. The hair dryer is old and bad quality.
3. When we checked in the owner said that tea is free and available any time, I think it.was misunderstood as on the last day host asked us to pay 400tl for the tea and coffee.
4. We booked a room with a fireplace but host said that it doesn't work. Later, we did clarify why it doesn't work and the problem was that the owner didn't have wood for it and it wasn't possible to buy it on our own anywhere (we did visit 4 different places).
