The Perfect Anniversary Holiday!
Pros:

The Arif Cave Hotel completely exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived, and it was the best 1st wedding anniversary we could have ever asked for! Han looked after us throughout our entire stay, treating us with incredible care and making us feel genuinely welcome.We stayed in the largest suite available at the hotel, and it was hands down the best room we have ever stayed in—absolutely stunning, comfortable, and beautifully designed. A major highlight was our private balcony, which perfectly overlooked the hot air balloons filling the sky in the morning. It was a breathtaking and unforgettable sight to wake up to.Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious, home-cooked breakfast on the beautiful terrace overlooking Göreme, which was the perfect start to our day. The hotel also went above and beyond with our trip planning; they sent us a comprehensive list of excursions before we even arrived so everything could be pre-booked for us. This included our hot air balloon flight, which was sadly cancelled on the first day due to the weather. However, the team did not hesitate and instantly rebooked it for us for the following morning, ensuring we did not miss out. Their hospitality is truly unmatched, and they made our special milestone completely unforgettable!

Cons:

Nothing it was perfect!

Great cave hotel with warm hospitality and excellent location in the heart of Goreme!
Pros:

Amazing location right below the highest lookout point in Goreme! You can oversee the entire town from the balcony of the bedroom. The management team comprising of Han and his staff were excellent in attending to our needs and well being. They cooked delicious hot Turkish breakfast each morning when we arrive at the breakfast table which is a nice touch. The room was cozy and bright with warm lighting creating a comfortable atmosphere.

Cons:

There is refurbishment of a cave hotel right in front of the hotel, thus creating a blocked view of the town which hampers good picture taking in the morning. The soap and conditioner amenities could be of higher quality.

Pros:

A truly unique place to stay. If you're wondering about its location, don't. It's on top of a hill with beautiful views, and enjoying the generous breakfast while looking out over the landscape was one of the highlights of our stay.

Thank you Han for taking such good care of us.

Don't Be Misled by the High Ratings
Cons:

Our first impression at check-in was terrible. The front desk staff member was rude and unprofessional. He seemed to have no understanding that different guests have different expectations and priorities when they travel. This hotel simply does not provide the level of service or hospitality that justifies its expensive room rates.

The hotel entrance and courtyard were under construction and looked dirty and unattractive, which was very disappointing. The property itself is small and has an overall cheap feel that does not match the photos. The surrounding area also felt like a construction site, making it difficult to relax.

We chose our room because we were expecting beautiful views, but instead our window overlooked a construction site. It completely ruined the experience. Guests should be informed in advance if ongoing construction will affect their stay.

Housekeeping was also inadequate. There was leftover food in the refrigerator that clearly belonged to a previous guest, which was unpleasant and unhygienic.

At breakfast, everyone else's omelet was served, but mine never arrived.

After checking out, I asked the staff to help us transport our luggage. They falsely told us that the taxi would come directly to the hotel entrance. In reality, we had to carry our heavy luggage down a steep slope to the place where the taxi could actually pick us up. It was exhausting and completely unnecessary.

Overall, the way we were treated throughout our stay was unacceptable.

At check-out, the staff even asked us to give the hotel a 10-star rating. Although this hotel has very high review scores, my experience makes me question how reliable those ratings really are.

There are many nearby hotels with beautiful gardens, and I found myself wishing we had chosen one of them instead. I deeply regret choosing this hotel.

Flawless Stay
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent, especially the service and the opportunity to try delicious traditional Turkish dishes. It was a wonderful way to start each day.
A special thanks to Han, recomended what places we should visit in and around Göreme and whole Cappadocia, he was so kind and warm and made our stay so much better. His recommendations were very useful and made our trip even more memorable.
Also the cave room we stayed in was amazing and we had the best view from our balcony, each morning we woke up and saw balloons right from our bed it was incredible.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, everything was 10/10. We were very happy with our experience and truly enjoyed every part of our visit. From the very first moment, we felt welcomed and comfortable thanks to the friendly and helpful staff.

We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if we come back to Göreme. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

飯店下方兩個方向都有房子在施工,所以拍照景觀就不那麼好,景觀是這間飯店的賣點,很可惜但也不是飯店的問題

The owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout our stay. We were truly grateful for everything—from the delicious food to all the help and support they provided whenever we needed it.

This is my favorite hotel in Cappadocia. The location is absolutely perfect, the service is exceptional, and every detail made us feel welcome. It gave us some of the most wonderful memories of our trip. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cappadocia.

This beautiful cave hotel features an incredible location with stunning views. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere
Pros:

This beautiful cave hotel features an incredible location with stunning views. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt like a warm, welcoming family unit where everyone was exceptionally kind. My room was amazing, boasting a highly comfortable bed and an excellent view. Breakfast each morning was outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious, freshly prepared hot dishes. I am also very excited to see their upcoming renovations, especially the addition of the new pool!A special shoutout goes to Gokhan, who is truly one of the sweetest, kindest, and most personable hosts I have ever encountered; his genuine friendliness made the stay extra amazing. I loved this place so much and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cappadocia!

Pros:

Han and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is a nice family run cave hotel, and Han could not have looked after us any better. Breakfast was more than what we had anticipated (lots of home cooked good food), traditional Turkish coffee, and tea whenever we wanted. Han booked multiple tours for us, gave us some informative local knowledge, and was always up for a chat.
We had a cave room with a balcony for 4 nights. Mornings were beautiful out on the balcony, with the last day opening our curtains to reveal a hot air balloon staring right back at us.
Located under sunset Point, we had the perfect view from the hotel's Terrace whilst having a cold beer. Rooms refreshed every day, and a short walk.down the hill to the town centre.
Cute kittens that love a pat and are fun to watch play around. Han was there to help with anything we needed. Nice little touches like giving a bowl of freshly picked apricots from the owners tree, and fresh cherries.

Cons:

One small critique would be that when the rooms are refreshed each day, a couple of small waters could be replaced instead of asking for them. The cave room is what we had expected, cute, clean ambience with that cave vibe. It obviously isn't 5 star, but that is not what had expected.
There was cave restoration scaffolding being done on other hotel's in front of Arif which obstructed the view slightly and a little bit of an eyesaw. Of course this is not the hotel's fault, however Han had enquired about its removal and it is to be removed in a week or 2.
