Everything was perfect - from the amazingly welcoming and knowledgable owner and staff to the refined decoration and the beautiful views into the pigeon valley. A very rare place with a soul, a home away from home with some very comfortable suites perfectly fitted for couples or families. Delicious breakfast with some daily variations. One of the best boutique hotels we have ever stayed in.

A Magical Stay at Kistar Caves Kistar Caves is an absolute gem in Uchisar, offering breathtaking views, luxurious comfort, and exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, who made us feel right at home. Despite being set in a cave, the rooms exude elegance and tranquility, blending natural charm with modern luxury. The bathrooms, in particular, are stunning—beautifully designed, spacious, and spa-like, offering a sense of indulgence you wouldn’t expect in such a setting. The attention to detail in cleanliness and comfort made our stay even more special. Waking up to the panoramic views from the balcony was simply unforgettable. The sight of the snow fall over the valleys and fairy chimneys made every moment feel magical. A winter wonderland. Breakfast was a full spread every morning, and even on our last day—despite being the last to check out—we were treated to the same generous offering. It’s these thoughtful details that set Kistar Caves apart. What truly made our stay exceptional was the personal touch from the owners. Their warm welcome and heartfelt goodbyes made us feel like part of the family. As a lovely parting gesture, they even gifted us a box of Turkish delight with a cheerful Güle güle!—a perfect way to end an amazing trip. If you’re looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and truly special place to stay in Uchisar, Kistar Caves is an absolute must. We can’t wait to return!

Kistar is the best hotel with most scenic views in Uchisar area. The room we got had the best view of mountains, valley and balloons in the early morning. The breakfast was very yummy and had lots of options. All the staff were very polite and helpful. The suite was having all the facilities and we got best cave experience in the room. It is located at very peaceful place with excess of taxi and bus. I would like to thank Hameeda who treated us like family and her support was constant throughout the stay. We also got small gift from them and we liked it. My words are less to describe this experience in Kistar hotel.

Nothing

We booked the family suite for 2 adults and 3 girls between 7-14 years old. Best accommodation in turkey through the week. The room was extremely spacious, lovely and the breakfast was a really nice personable touch. In the early morning, the open terraces gives a great paranomic view of the balloons against the landscape as its backdrop. Perfect spot to catch the sunrise. The hosts are a lovely couple who will be there in the morning to make sure everything is gone well at the dining area. We were also given some really nice tasting Turkish delight as parting gift. Thanks Kistar for making it such a special stay

The floor heating in the three bedder room couldn’t be adjusted so it was slightly warm at night. Otherwise eveything else was perfect

Staying at Kistar Cave Hotel was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere is unique and cozy, blending the charm of a traditional cave home with all the comfort you could ask for. The rooms were clean, well-equipped, and beautifully designed — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff — especially Hamida. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. From giving us great local tips to making sure we were comfortable at all times, her hospitality truly made us feel at home. We are so grateful for her warmth and care. We highly recommend Kistar Cave Hostel to anyone visiting the area. It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s a welcoming, memorable experience. Thank you, Kistar team, and a big thank you to Hamida!

The host family is extremely friendly and kind. They introduced the whole Capadocia tour to us in detail and welcomed us very warmly. The cave room was just exceptional and unbelievable - a fantastic experience to sleep inside - really like a baby!!!! Feels really comfortable! I definitely recommend everyone visiting Capa to stay here, it’s a much less busy town comapres to Goreme, with excellent restaurants and convenient transportation around, and I definitely recommend to drive around as towns and attractions are really close if you have a car. Once again, We love this place!

I have nothing to say in this part. Everything is just perfect!

Amazing location with valley views in the heart of Uchisar, 10 mins from Goreme. 5 minutes walk from Uchisar Castle. You can enjoy the Goreme balloons from the terrace depending upon wind direction. Family run business. Very helpful and supportive staff. They let us check in 11 hours in advance at 3 am. without any extra cost. Hotel and rooms are aesthetically decorated. Great breakfast options. Actual hotel is better than what it looks in picture. Highly recommended and would love to stay again

There is nothing to complain about. May be 2 flights of stairs for room access for someone with a mobility issue. No lift is available.

Our stay at Kistar Cave Hotel in Cappadocia was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality by the incredibly friendly and attentive staff, who made sure we felt at home throughout our stay. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, blending the charm of a traditional cave dwelling with modern comforts. The views from the terrace were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise when hot air balloons filled the sky—truly a magical sight! Breakfast was another highlight—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, with a variety of options to start the

I spent a long time looking for a hotel and finally chose one in Uçhisar. We initially booked it for just 1 night, but ended up staying for 4! The hotel is absolutely stunning and beautifully designed. The rooms are warm, cozy, and very comfortable. It’s incredibly quiet — yet perfectly located. We had a car and were so happy we chose to stay here instead of Göreme. The breakfast was delicious and varied every morning. And most importantly — the staff and the owner are truly amazing. They surround you with care and attention, which made our stay even more special.

Kistar is a beautiful cave hotel in the heart of Uchisar which is a little away from hustle and bustle of Gerome. We loved the view of Pigeon valley from our terrace and rooms were very spacious for our family. Breakfast was great with a wonderful view. Owner and staff were very helpful for our special needs and helped us resolve few issues when language was a barrier.

There was nothing that we did not like at Kistar, starting from location to breakfast to our room - everything was just perfect. They can add some more light in the rooms if possible.
