Pros:

Han was an exceptional host. His positive energy and vast knowledge of the area made for a very relaxing stay. Nothing was too much of an ask for him or any of the other lovely staff.
We were upgraded to a room with a better view free of charge. The views from the rooms balcony were spectacular, only matched by the panorama on the rooftop terrace.
This is where we viewed the balloons, getting lovely photos. It is also where we had a delicious and filling breakfast each morning.
We had an excellent time! Thank you!

Cons:

Nothing.

Beautiful Genuine Cave Hotel with Great Views and INCREDIBLE staff!
Pros:

Stop looking and book this place immediately! I cannot say enough about how great our stay at Arif Cave Hotel was, beginning with communicating with Betty to pick a room many months ago - she provided videos of each room to help us pick. As a couple, we picked the Panoramic Cave Room and upon arrival, learned our room had the "highest balcony in Goreme." It was a fantastic place to view the balloons each morning and the closest hotel to the sunrise/sunset view point (as a bonus, due to the location of the hotel, you get free access to the point). Upon arrival, we met Han who is an absolute gem of a human being. I cannot imagine a kinder, more informative person to manage a hotel. He gave us many great recommendations and even called his friend at sunset point as we were headed up there and the friend had two complimentary teas waiting for us. Be sure to take time to chat with him and ask for recs for where to eat. The entire staff was friendly, the breakfast was extensive and delicious, and the the rooftop patio space is incredible. We were sad to have to say goodbye, but hope to be back soon!

Cons:

Nothing - it was all amazing!

Unforgettable
Pros:

We had a memorable stay at the Arif Cave Hotel. Our room was impeccable: spacious, extremely comfortable, and very clean. The breakfast was the best we've ever had in Türkiye and the location is undoubtedly the hotel's highlight! The view is exclusive, allowing you to watch the sunrise with the balloons and the sunset in total comfort, without having to fight for space at the crowded tourist viewpoints.

The staff is amazing and very supportive. A special thank you to Gokhan, who was exceptional. He provided all the help we needed, from booking our balloon ride to giving us great restaurant recommendations and sharing fascinating insights about Turkish culture. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly and will definitely be back!

Pros:

是真正的洞穴酒店!本來很擔心洞穴酒店裡面會陰暗又潮濕,但裡面比想像中現代,採光也非常好,床跟浴室都很整潔、舒適、也都香香的沒有霉味等。風景非常漂亮!就在格雷梅的觀景台附近,在房間就能看到非常漂亮的日出跟日落。早餐很豐盛、Gokhan等人的服務非常好!總是很親切!

Melhor vista e atendimento!
Pros:

Hotel muito bem localizado, com uma das melhores vistas para os balões. Gokhan é excepcional, representa a hospitalidade em pessoa, preocupado com o hóspede o tempo todo e te auxilia em tudo, desde o café na chegada até a despedida. O café da manhã é tradicional turco, feito na hora e muito gostoso.

Cons:

Gostamos de tudo e recomendamos de olhos fechados.
