Gibos Cave Hotel

It has been a great pleasure staying at Gibos Hotel. The rooms/caves are absolutely beautiful and each of them unique. Also super comfortable and clean. The owners are interested in sharing information about the region and very kind and hospitable. The whole place is well made to either just relax at the property or explore the surrounding area. Full recommendation. Thank you!

I *loved* the Gibos Cave hotel. Incredible place. Memorable time. The proprietors are amazing; really go out if their way to be helpful. So interesting and fun to talk to. Rooms gorgeous and authentic. Highly recommend.

The friendly couple was welcoming and shared a great deal of the Turkish culture with us. Always interesting stories and conversations.

The owner is a good man. However, when we entered the hotel, outside was a destructed area. It felt a little sad.

Staying at Gibos Cave Hotel is an experience in itself. How cool to be able to stay in a cave as you are exploring other caves in the area. When you stay at Adin and Hatice's hotel you are treated as family. Staying in Mustafapaşa versus one of the bigger towns in the area was the best decision we made. After a day of touring, it is nice to get back to a relaxing, laid-back town versus the chaos of Göreme or Ürgüp. Walking distance from the hotel are multiple restaurants as well as Cathedral Valley, a free of charge walk with multiple cave churches and amazing views.

Nothing.

Clean, calm and nice hotel. Rooms are traditional and historical. The owner Mr Adin was very nice and polite to us. Breakfast was also really good. It's not just a hotel, it's like a museum. You should definitely see the underground tunnels. Fascinating… it will take you into history and old experiences

It was weekend holiday with my family. Clean, calm and nice hotel. Rooms are traditional and historical. The owner Mr Adin was very nice and polite to us. Breakfast was also really good.

We can confidently say that our time in Cappadocia would not have been as enjoyable without staying at Adin and Hatice's place. They are the best hosts you could ask for with a beautiful and authentic cave hotel. Their helpfulness and thoughtfulness truly enhanced our experience. Thanks to them, we were able to plan our activities and access popular attractions for cheaper, through their connections, with fair prices that aren't generally available to tourists. The location, an old cave dwelling converted by them into a beautiful accommodation, is absolutely fantastic. It is full of marvelous details. They take pride in it and are eager to show it to their guests and explain the history of the place. If you're not a fan of the typical overrated tourist spots, we'd also recommend staying in Mustafapaşa instead of the larger, more well-known places like Göreme. The area is much more authentic and peaceful. Additionally, it's beautifully situated and one of the oldest in the region. Overall, our stay was very pleasant. Other reviews comment on the rooms being chilly. However, they resolved this with a heater (for us this was no issue whatsoever). We are incredibly grateful for this experience and regret only booking for two nights. This unique stay was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Turkey. We will wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Turkey. Thank you, Adin and Hatice, for an unforgettable stay!

This place is really special. Adin and Hatice are an inspiring retired couple who have lovingly converted the ancient cave dwellings into a charming hotel. The original carved structures, which are hundreds of years old, have been preserved. And so, each room is unique, filled with secret nooks and crannies to explore. The room we got was large, and well decorated with repurposed antiques and Hatice's handmade crocheted details. It was everything I imagined what a cave hotel would be. My wife felt cold during the first night, and the hosts brought us a portable heater and made sure we were comfortable. The bathroom was equally big and had everything we needed. Adin and Hatice were very welcoming and generous. They personally prepared a lovely Turkish breakfast for us every morning, and were passionate about sharing recommendations and historical facts about the small town of Mustafapaşa and Türkiye. My wife got to learn about traditional Turkish instruments from Adin. On our last night, they surprised us with homemade sütlaç. Because Mustafapaşa is a small town, it only takes a few minutes to walk from the hotel to the town square. Also, if you're looking to spend a night or two away from the busy tourist towns of Cappadocia, please consider Mustafapaşa as a quaint and quiet getaway. This town has its own unique history as a Greek settlement, where the people are genuinely warm, and you'll still see all the beautiful old Greek doorways as you walk around. Even though most people probably only do day trips, we thoroughly enjoyed wandering around and getting to know the neighborhood. Everyone who walks through Gibos is bound to feel loved, including the two playful dogs who made the property their home. The atmosphere of this place makes you feel like you are entering a magical secret garden. But truly, it was Adin and Hatice's presence that made our stay extra memorable, and I wish we had more time with them.
