THE BEST HOTEL IN GOREME CAPPADOCIA!!! Our experience staying in this hotel is impeccable. The owner (Ahmed) and his colleagues (Han, Hanafi, Ohmed, Betty) are simply the best in hospitality. We felt like a home staying at Arif Cave Hotel. The interior of our room is extraordinary - best cave room experience. We booked the room with panoramic view and balcony and it did not disappoint us. Perfect in all angles specially for hot air balloon watching or just simply taking a break 😄 The room is well maintained, the shower has good water pressure and the room has everything we need to feel comfortable. They served good breakfast too and delicious turkish coffee. The hotel's balcony/lounge at top is perfect spot to watch panoramic view of Goreme, Sunrise, Sunset and Hot Air Balloon. Another thing we loved about the hospitality of Ahmed is the he recommended us the tours in Cappadocia. I would suggest GRAB THIS OFFER from Ahmed and you will not regret it 👍👍 You will save more if you get the tours from this hotel instead of getting it online or other agencies. Overall we HIGHLY RECOMMEND your stay here. Best in hospitality. Treats guests like you are in 5 ⭐️ Hotel. Please give some love to this hotel and its staff. They are the BEST!!!!

The property is situated a little higher up in Göreme which made for some spectacular views. The common areas were made to be comfortable and inviting, with several sitting areas to choose from. They were very diligent about cleanliness and it made our stay super relaxed and comfortable.

Everything! This is the hotel you want to stay in Cappadocia. Everyone is very friendly and tries to guarantee you have the best stay and experience possible, without any scams. Whatever you need, they will arrange it. Room is beautiful! I got the underground cave room, and it was so much bigger than I was expecting. Really gives you the old cappadocia feel. Location is great if you want to stay near the best sunrise/sunset spot, as it's probably the highest hotel and 5 minute walk to the sunrise spot. However, that comes with the con of being a bit further from the Göreme centre (not that far, 10-minute walk or less, but it's very steep)

I did not dislike anything, however let me give a few suggestions: - bathroom floor (at least in my room) was slippery, including the floor inside the bath. I would advise them to put a bath rug or change the tiles on the floor for something a bit more safe; - breakfast was very good, but variety could be improved, specially when it comes to cold food/bread.

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the incredibly kind staff, who instantly made me feel at home. They ensured I had everything I needed, offering personalized recommendations for local tours and activities, including the breathtaking hot air balloon ride at sunrise. The cave rooms at Arif Cave House are a perfect blend of authenticity and comfort. Carved into the rock, the rooms are cozy, meticulously clean, and offer incredible views of Göreme and the hot air balloons floating over the valley each morning. After a day of exploring, I always returned to a peaceful, quiet atmosphere where I could fully relax. What stood out the most during my stay was the warmth and friendliness of Ahmed and the entire staff. As a solo traveler, I felt incredibly safe and cared for. The team was always ready to assist with any questions or just have a friendly chat, making the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. Whether you’re traveling solo or with others, I highly recommend Arif Cave House for anyone looking to experience the magic of Cappadocia. The hospitality, unique cave accommodations, and stunning views make it the perfect place to stay!

We had an incredible stay at the Arif Cave Hotel. It has the best view of the hot air balloons rising over Goreme! It is a truly spectacular sight and the hotel offers plenty of viewing spots to choose from. We stayed in the original cave room and it was the most magical space we have ever stayed (and we travel a lot!) The carved stone, the warm lighting, a comfortable bed, amazing shower, and our own personal balcony overlooking the balloons - it was a stay I will never forget. I’d like to give special thanks to Han who looked after us for our stay - he helped organise our entire itinerary for us, gave us incredible restaurant recommendations, helped organise transport for us and was always available to help - he even made sure we had a packed breakfast to take with us on our day of departure since we had an early flight! Impeccable service and I’ll be sure to recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone.

The entire experience from the booking and initial communication was very smooth and easy. The hotel itself is a piece of fairytale! Attention to detail they had in mind when designing it is incredible! Rooms are clean and spacious and equipped with all the necessities for comfortable stay. The terrace is a perfect spot for observing the balloons in the morning and a great tranquil place to enjoy some coffee or tea. And by far the best part of our stay were the lovely employees who made sure everyone gets special treatment and feels taken care of! We experienced the new levels of hospitality in this place! I have to add one huge special thank you to Mr. Han, who went above and beyond to greet us, made sure we receive all the necessary information about Cappadocia and made our stay feel like a proper royal treatment. He did a fantastic job! Everyone else was on top of their tasks as well and as much as I would like to mention all of them because they deserve it, I can only remember Etem. He would spoil us with all delicious Turkish treats and tea endlessly. I have no doubts where I'll be staying next time in Cappadocia! This is a place to be.

Arif Cave is the most incredible hotel I have ever stayed in! The views from the terrace were magical with beautiful seating areas making it the perfect place to watch the balloons or relax after a long day of sight seeing. The breakfast was the best breakfast I have ever been served, with a lovely selection of fruit and cheese as well as hot traditional Turkish dishes cooked fresh every morning! One morning we were on the terrace a little earlier than the allocated breakfast timing, but Han kindly offered to cook us breakfast early, meaning we could enjoy our food while the last of the balloons flew! What really makes the hotel so perfect is the incredible staff! They are incredibly welcoming, attentive and nothing is ever too much trouble for them! They even gave us little parting gifts which was a lovely touch to finish off the holiday off a lifetime! Would only stay here for future trips to Cappadocia!!

Absolutely nothing it was the perfect trip!!

The location was great. It’s uphill from the city of Goreme but it’s still very close and the best part is it is very close to a lookout point where everyone goes for sunset and sunrise. The staff are wonderful, they do a great job to make you feel welcome, accommodated and cared for. The breakfast is delicious, with many different things to try and they will make sure you are completely full to the brim. Our room was clean, really comfortable and decorated really thoughtfully and beautifully. We loved that it is a family run hotel - you can tell there is a lot of care and pride taken in the property. I would definitely come back to stay again.

The only thing missing which I would have liked was body lotion and hair conditioner.

- One of the best views in Göreme with very nice terrace and common areas. It’s 5 minutes away from the center and only 2 minutes to the top of the hill where you can find the best view of Göreme’s valleys. - Tasty breakfast with a large variety of food (our host prepared us 5 different dishes + a buffet of cheeses and vegetables). - Clean and comfortable rooms with welcome details (coffee, water, tea). - Last but not least, warm hospitality from our host Han who was paying attention to all our needs and questions, he made us feel like home :) We would definitely return and recommend this hotel!
