Historical Goreme House Reviews

We’ve received very warm welcome and got a map of the sights at the reception. The family suit is spacious and comfortable. It was very warm in winter time too. The breakfast is traditional with a fantastic view over the mountains.

Excellent location. We couldn't use the jacuzzi, even though it was supposedly included. We loved the breakfast and the rest of the service.

Great place. Very close to the bazaar. The terrace is magnificent. Breakfast is sufficient. The staff is very helpful. If I come again, I would like to come here again. You can watch the balloons take off from the terrace. But it is still great to go there and watch from there.

The hotel itself is a little plain, but the room was clean and stylish, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi. It's a very nice hotel near the center of Goreme.

A hotel where you can have a pleasant holiday with its authentic style. In the middle of Cappadocia, close to everywhere. A nice business with friendly staff.

It was a wonderful vacation. The hotel is very well located and the hotel owner and his mother Sibel are very helpful and supportive, the other staff are also always friendly and helpful. We can recommend this hotel with a clear conscience. The location, the breakfast, the terrace, everything was great.

The front desk was very welcoming and nice

Nice and clean but unfortunately no air conditioning. And no window, at least in our room. But otherwise very friendly staff

I was able to enjoy Cappadocia to the fullest with friendly staff and a wonderful location. After all, is it the owner's mother? The breakfast prepared by me was very delicious. I was able to enjoy Turkish home cooking. The inside of the hotel has an Arabian atmosphere and you can enjoy the atmosphere of Turkey. I think the cost performance is great If you want to stay in a cave hotel with a great atmosphere, I highly recommend it.

The location of the hotel was good, very close to the center Room cleaning was adequate We spent time on the terrace some evenings, the view was enjoyable. We did not have any parking problems I can't say the breakfast was perfect, but it was sufficient, some hot varieties could be added, we were satisfied.

Clean toilets, good service

The breakfast service attitude is not good. Probably a family hotel, the hostess is always watching the guests for food and drinks. Very uncomfortable!

I was amazed at the customer service that I received at this hotel. Vulcan at reception is an absolute gentleman, he took the time to cater for my friends & my needs. He is one of the friendliest dudes I have ever met, quite simply put, the man is a legend!! He and the team here provide exceptional service & amazing rooms. My room was spacious, had a massive circle bed & a spa - just what you need after trekking through one of the cradles of civilisation. If you are looking for a great centrally located hotel with exceptional staff and services, then the Historical Goreme House is the place for you. When I travel back to Cappadocia I will certainly be staying there again!

I stayed at Historical House Gorome in May 2025, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what was promised. While the hotel staff were polite on the surface, I felt completely misled and taken advantage of, especially regarding the hot air balloon booking. I asked the hotel to help book a hot air balloon ride. They told me they don’t profit from bookings and that they would charge only what the provider charges. They assured me the company would be Voyager—a reputable provider I had researched beforehand—and charged €700 for two people. They provided no receipt or proof of price, but I trusted their word. Later, I found another well-rated company offering a similar experience for a fraction of the price, and when I raised this, the hotel refused to refund me. They promised it would be a sunrise flight, with breakfast included, and insisted it would be safer than the other option. I felt pressured and left with no choice but to go ahead with their booking. On the day of the flight: • The transport arrived 20 minutes late, and we missed the sunrise—one of the key reasons people do these balloon rides. • The provider turned out to be Turca, not Voyager as promised. • We were rushed into the balloon before we could eat the basic breakfast handed to us. • Despite booking as a couple, they separated us in the basket without any explanation, ruining our chance to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience together or take photos together. • The balloon launched among very few others, so it lacked the iconic “Cappadocia sky full of balloons” look we were promised. • The pilot was professional and the landing smooth—probably the only redeeming part. • Throughout the ride, we were interrupted constantly by staff filming for their own social media, and we never received those photos or videos. I expressed my concerns to a staff member who listened and walked away without a response. As for the hotel room: • It was dark, smelly, dusty, and the plumbing was faulty—toilet water ran all night and disrupted our sleep. • I reported a number of dead flies on the floor and requested cleaning. They made the bed but left the flies and dust, so clearly no proper cleaning was done. At checkout, I shared my dissatisfaction. The staff argued I should have spoken up earlier and offered a free night’s stay, but I was leaving that day and have no intention of returning. Regarding the balloon, they said they couldn’t offer a refund and advised me to contact the company myself. Once back in the UK, I contacted the balloon company. They confirmed that the hotel paid them significantly less than what I was charged, meaning the hotel did make a profit—despite telling me they wouldn’t. They also confirmed that the hotel knew it wouldn’t be a sunrise ride or with Voyager, but still misled me. I reached out to the hotel again, and they stopped replying. This experience was a major letdown. I felt lied to, overcharged, and ignored when I raised valid concerns.
