Göreme Cave Lodge

We have just spent a fabulous week in Goreme Cave Lodge, Cappadocia, Turkey. A small, perfectly proportioned, family run hotel just a five minute walk from the centre of Goreme. A brilliant location A varied breakfast buffet was included with the choice of a variety of cooked eggs eg omelette with veg and cheese (or your own choice), fried or scrambled eggs. There was different hot food on offer each day, as well as delicious, fresh crusty rolls, local bread, salads, cheeses, many varieties of olives and jams, Turkish coffee and tea, and freshly made cake and biscuits. This was all served with such friendliness by the staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, air conditioning and a modern bathroom with powerful shower. A small fridge with a constant supply of free bottled water Each evening, one of the staff would arrive with a plate of fruit (or sometimes mixed nuts) for us both. The staff organised all our trips and told us which ones they would recommend. When I originally booked our trip, I received a WhatsApp message from the hotel asking if we would like them to book our balloon flight. I agreed and they said it was 220 euros each and I could pay when I came. I received a message back telling me it was all sorted and they looked forward to welcoming us. Our trust in them grew when we arrived and they told us our balloon flight had been reduced and was now only 130 euros each! (It was something to do with Turkey trying to attract more tourists to Cappadocia). They then booked our sunset horse ride (making sure the horses were looked after), the Whirling Dervish show and the taxi to take us there and back. The hotel had a beautiful clean swimming pool and a comfortable rooftop terrace where we spent two mornings getting up at 5am to watch the hot air balloons lazily drift over the town. So relaxing to watch! We also spent a few midnight hours up there enjoying the cool of the night and watching the ci

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home at Göreme Cave Lodge. The comfort, warmth, and hospitality here are truly unmatched. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—always checking in to see if we were comfortable or needed anything, without ever being intrusive. What truly sets this place apart is the way they go above and beyond for their guests. They surprised my wife with a beautiful birthday cake, which made her day feel extra special and memorable. Every evening, we were treated to delicious complimentary snacks, and during our relaxing moments at the pool, they even offered us free drinks—a lovely touch that made us feel genuinely valued. They also kindly offered help with money transfers when we needed it, showing just how much they care about their guests' comfort and peace of mind. My wife and I have traveled extensively and stayed in many hotels around the world, but this was by far one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in terms of hospitality and comfort. A special thanks to Mr. Bulan and Mr. Murat—you both truly made our trip unforgettable. Keep up the amazing work!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cave room was beautiful, big and super comfortable in all ways (bed, pillows, temperature, light, bathroom). It's in a very good and calm location, 3min walking to the center of Göreme and with the most beautiful view of Uçhisar castle and landscape. Delicious breakfast by the terrace, with local food as well as more continental options. But the highlight must be the hosts and staff. So helpful, friendly and attentive. They really take care of you and make you feel so welcome and at home. It's a local family business, the owner's grandparents lived exactly where is now the hotel and you can somehow feel the love invested here.

We stayed 2 nights at the property and extensively walked around the town, Pigeon valley and nearby town. The area is very safe and the towns are pleasant to tour. We did most of what we wanted by walking but there are many other options including organized tours. The hotel was ideal for our trip. There is a breakfast area at the top including a carpeted outside sitting area that was great for photos. The bed was comfortable and we were able to arrange laundry services. The owner of the hotel was onsite and did a great job looking after our needs. The hotel team was constantly offering refreshments (tea/coffee) and was very helpful.

Our experience at this property was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. The location is superb, centrally situated with easy access to restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets. The room was immaculate, very clean, and comfortably warm. The bathroom was well-appointed and aesthetically pleasing. The staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and care, making our stay truly memorable. Their thoughtful gesture of baking a cake for my birthday was particularly appreciated. Additionally, Leo, the resident cat, added a delightful touch to our experience. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a superior accommodation experience. We look forward to returning in the future.
