Mehmet Karaca| Cappadocia

The view from the terrace is absolutely breathtaking. Facing the peaceful valley at the back was serene, and we could watch the hot air balloons float past —it was magical. Our room was spotless. We stayed in the King room, which was incredibly spacious with plenty of room for our bags and for our toddler to roam around comfortably. The bathroom was huge as well! The location is convenient, with a small convenience store just a short 2-minute walk away, perfect for grabbing drinks and snacks. The peaceful town of Çavuşin, where the hotel is located, is just a short drive from Göreme and Avanos—close enough for convenience but blissfully away from the hustle and bustle. We loved the quietness and calm. Breakfast was a daily highlight. The spread was extensive, there was freshly baked breads and we especially loved the homemade cakes baked by Ali’s wife—they were delicious. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the impeccable service. In this humble, family-run hotel, we experienced the most sincere and heartfelt hospitality—honestly surpassing what we’ve received at 5-star hotels. The family running this place is exceptional. Every time we returned, someone would be at the door to welcome us back. Zehra never failed to offer us tea or coffee whenever we passed through the lobby. Ainur and Irem greeted us so cheerfully every morning at breakfast, and it took them only one day to remember what we liked. They treated our toddler with so much warmth and patience that he absolutely fell in love with everyone. Seeing how naturally they interacted with him showed just how genuine and kind this family truly is. Ali was always ready with thoughtful restaurant recommendations. He took the time to ask about our preferences—whether we wanted music, something quiet, or any particular type of food. He also recommended a private guide, Mucahid, who was extremely knowledgeable (highly recommend booking with him). They arranged everything for us effortlessly, from a spa session to horse riding, and were always ready to help with any activities we were interested in. They also helped arrange transport for us whenever we went out for dinner, and paying by the meter made everything feel transparent and fair. It truly felt like there was nothing the hotel couldn’t help with. Their natural warmth, attentiveness, and genuine desire to make our stay comfortable amazed us. This is a place run with heart, and we can’t recommend it enough.

Staying at this incredible underground cave suite hotel in Cappadocia was not just a vacation; it was an immersive cultural experience that felt like coming home. From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew this place was special. ​The authenticity of the rooms is unparalleled. Each suite maintains 100% Turkish identity intact, offering a traditional, deeply atmospheric design that genuinely makes you feel transported to the historical heart of Turkey. Forget sterile, chain-hotel experiences—this is the real deal. ​However, what truly elevates this hotel above the rest is the staff. Run entirely by attentive, fantastic family members, the service is both professional and profoundly personal. Ali, the owner, is an absolute legend and a genuinely fantastic host. He treats you not merely as a guest, but as a cherished member of his own family. He was tirelessly attentive, offering invaluable local recommendations, quickly arranging taxis whenever we needed them, and even waiting up to receive us at the door after late-night dinners. The rooms were spotless and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable sanctuary after a day of exploring. ​And finally, the view! Waking up to the sight of dozens of colorful hot air balloons floating right outside the window and soaring above the hotel is simply magical—a defining, bucket-list moment that captures the entire spirit of Cappadocia. ​If you are looking for a hotel that offers clean, traditional luxury, spectacular views, and the warmest, most genuine family hospitality you will ever encounter, look no further. Highly, highly recommended.

We had an amazing honeymoon stay at this lovely family-run hotel. The room was gorgeous and gave us an authentic cave suite experience, with the added luxuries of a hot tub and TV. The room was prepared in advance with honeymoon decor following my request via email. The host family were absolutely lovely, friendly and hospitable. They went the extra mile to ensure we were happy and satisfied during our stay. Breakfast service each morning was very prompt and filling, with a traditional Turkish breakfast. The location of Çavusin was a very close taxi ride away from Göreme but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the busy town centre to be a nice peaceful break. It was also a very good location to watch the hot air balloons fly every morning, with one morning even having a balloon fly just over our heads, close enough to greet the passengers! There are 3 levels of terraces to view the balloons from, with one having cushions and carpets to relax on. We would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic—you can watch the balloons right from your bed in the morning or step onto the balcony to see them flying close by. You can even wave at the people in the balloons, which was a magical experience! The hotel provides bikes for guests, which is a great perk, especially for those traveling without a car. It offers easy access to both Göreme and Avanos, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and met high standards—perfect for a romantic getaway. Compared to hotels in Göreme, this place offers much better value for money. Göreme can be crowded and noisy, but here, it's quiet and peaceful, which adds to the charm. Lastly, the breakfast was excellent—a great way to start the day. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone looking for a comfortable, peaceful, and memorable stay!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this hotel. We arrived a few hours earlier and were allowed to check in early which was amazing. Ali and the family were great hosts. They really made us feel at home. He went out of his way to assist us with organizing the balloon tour and other extra tours. Honestly he made zero commission out of us nor did we feel ripped off, the pricing was very fair. It is very hard in this day of age to find people as nice as Ali and his family. The breakfast was out of this world! We looked forward to this every morning and everything was made by the family fresh daily. We will definitely come back and stay at this place in the future without a doubt. The views from the terrace are 10/10!!! I promise anyone who visits will love their stay at this wonderful hotel.
