Kismet Cave House

It was amazing to stay with a family business actually in one of the traditional caves in cappadocia! We were welcomed so warmly with pide and chai. The hosts really made the stay phenomenal. Breakfast is all locally sourced and absolutely delicious!

We had to wait until the next day to get towels for showers, and the rooms aren’t that large. But they worked for what we needed!

The evening discussion over tea with Faruk and my son, the father and original founder of this establishment was a highlight for me. Faruk had so much knowledge of current world affairs, stories to tell, and wisdom about life in general and the evolution of society in general. Then on the hotel side, the breakfast served by Faruk's wife.. Every ingredient fresh and either grown from their own garden or carefully picked from local producers. The jams were homemade and a real delight, and the omelette and cheese... Starting the day over this very healthy and plentiful breakfast was a real treat. Sahin, their son and the manager of the hotel was kind and providing good advice on how to make the best out of our stay - for example advising us to take the green tour instead of the red tour we had booked to be able to benefit from the opportunity to visit the underground city and the transportation to take us to sites we would not otherwise have been able to see. The rooftop terrace offered a fantastic vista from which to see the hot air balloons rise at sunrise.

Didn't have enough time to do it all. Goreme in general has become very touristy - nothing to do with the hosts and establishment - but comes through when one looks for a decent place to eat local food at reasonable prices.

I like the style of the hotel: authentic bed, furniture and decor. Breathtaking view from the rooftop. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

A small hotel run by a great family. Located some 200 m from the bus station and city center, very convenient for people using the public transport. Sahin, ( the son) is very kind and helped us a lot in all travel arrangements and you can trust him to find a good price for a balloon ride or any other excursion you may want to do. Thank you very much Sahin for all your good advices. Farouk, the father is very friendly, always offering us Turkish tea and chat. The breakfast is amazing, all organic, I won't forget the honey and home made butter and yogurt. All products come from the family farm and are delirious. There is a nice view from the rooftop terrace. Rooms are simple and decorated in the traditional Turkish style.

The place was a lovely centrally loicated cave-style environment beautifully decorated with Turkish furniture and carpets. It is a family run business and the owner was very welcoming, always offering Turkish tea and a chat. The son, Sahin, was very pleasant and always helpful with organising activities. The owner's wife provides a beautiful extensive breakfast served on the rooftop terrace, complete with home made jams from fruit from their farm, lovely fresh fruit and your choice of eggs, and even homemade butter! A great end to our holiday!

The host is super friendly and booked for us all the activities including the shuttle bus from Kayseri.

overall was great but shower cabin leaks a bit.

I enjoyed every single moment while I was at Kismet Cave. Faruk, Sahin, and their family have provided me with one of the most memorable travelling experiences in my entire life. Not only did they go the extra mile to help me with my malfunctioning rental car, but they also shared their personal travel stories with me. Faruk's distant past, his young days, his wild dreams, fantasies, and adventures have all coalesced together to ascribe meaning to the thing that we call travelling. In the homemade jam and the hand-painted floral decors on the wooden table and doors, I sense the life of a lived space which has been cared for many years.
