Honestly, we loved everything about our stay in the Takaev cave hotel. Upon arrival in the city itself, we were a bit overwhelmed with everything, (new landscape, environment etc). However, once we arrived at the hotel, we felt a weight lifted off our shoulders. The staff was very kind. Huge shout-out to AZIZ!!! We couldn't have asked for a better host. Very gentle, kind hearted, very helpful and easy to chat to. He helped us plan our entire trip, filling it with really fun activities. The place was clean and well located if you want to explore the unique landscapes and do all the cool activities. I personally wasn't expecting to enjoy my stay as much as I did. The caves are beautiful and cozy. We will actively recommend the place to friends and families etc. We were sad to leave the Takaev Caves but we will definitely be back!!! :) Thanks a bunch guys!!!!

The Takaev Cave House is located in the older part of Uchisar, directly under the spectacular castle. Having seen both Uchisar and Goreme, I would strongly recommend Uchisar - Goreme is much more touristy (and frankly more tacky) than Uchisar was has largely retained much of its originality, especailly near the hotel. Parking is available on the (allegedly one-way) street if you are arriving by car, usually within a very short walk of the hotel. Access to the hotel and to all the rooms is down some fairly steep steps. The staff are undoubtedly the highlight of the hotel, particularly Aziz ad Darin - they were helpful, attentive and provided an excellent experience and their English is great. The room was lovely, with a window opening out onto the valley so that you could watch the balloons at sunrise (having been woken by the call to prayer from a very adjacent mosque!). The bathroom was well equipped and functioning, although the shower could have done with some restoration to sort a very leaky shower head and a broken bracket. The bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent (although much the same every day) and it was a real treat to sit on the balcony in the sun every morning. We greatly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend the hotel.

The location of the hotel is excellent with a beautiful view of the Pigeon Valley and the Goreme Hills. The breakfast terrace has the best view. The room was large and nicely decorated. The staff were very friendly and helpful with any requests you may have. Excellent English and easy to communicate with. We had some problems with the shower and it was fixed within a day. The breakfast was very good.

There is no housekeeping and this is not ideal for a 4 night stay as the floor in this cave room gets dusty very quickly. This is partly our fault as they would have cleaned the room had we asked. However, a quick daily cleaning of the floor and taking out the rubbish seems reasonable for this type of hotel with nice suites.

The cave rooms are thoughtfully restored—rustic yet elegant, combining traditional stone architecture with cozy, well-equipped interiors. We especially appreciated how the room stayed naturally cool, a welcome contrast to the daytime heat outside. It’s a peaceful retreat from the more crowded parts of town, yet within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and trailheads.

The room, while beautifully restored, had a noticeable layer of fine dust—likely from the porous stone walls common in these types of accommodations. While not a major issue for most, guests with allergies or respiratory sensitivities might find it uncomfortable.

What a reception! What a hospitality!! Eren, the hotel manager was exceptional. When we decided to book in Takaev, we messaged them on Whatsapp. Eren replied immediately, answering all our questions, and showed us a live video of the room, gave us examples of activities and was very responsive. The most important thing about Eren is that he speaks English fluently, which made the communication with him easier and smooth (unlike the majority the hotels here). He took care of all the activities and reservations to insure providing us with a good service and avoid scammers and black market prices. He also recommended us a taxi driver called Tanar (phone number: +90 537 592 66 21) to avoid getting scammed. Anything we needed during our stay, Eren was there for us. The room was clean, and the cleaning service was daily and on time. When it comes to the breakfast, it was always served on time and super delicious. We felt as if we are home and part of the hotel family. The hotel has a breathtaking view, you can see all the valleys from the front and Uchisar castle from the back. Oggy a cute man was there to help us and serve us. He is always smiling and ready to see what we want. Therefore, if you are willing to visit to Cappadocia and spend a good time without any worry, do not hesitate to reserve at Takaev Cave Hotel. And finally, Eren, you’re a gem !!!

Takaev Cave House is a truly unique and memorable experience. The traditional rooms, carved into the rock, are beautifully designed and meticulously clean, offering a genuine taste of Cappadocian architecture. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the village, providing stunning views of the breathtaking Cappadocia landscape. The breakfast is delicious, with a selection of local specialties that add to the charm of the stay. Aziz, the host, was incredibly hospitable and made us feel at home throughout our visit.

We had a wonderful stay! The service and hospitality were truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience. I’d definitely stay here again!

The staff and Aziz especially are super nice and welcoming! They were available to accommodate us and make sure we had a nice stay! The location is amazing, you can watch the hot air balloons from the terrace and walk to Uchisar castle. There is also a nice trail that we recommend through Pigeons Valley up to Goreme. It takes about 40 min. The breakfast is good and the room is spacious and calm

Amazing location, wonderful helpful staff and great value for authentic Turkish Cave Hotel in Cappadocia. The manager Aziz assisted us with all tour bookings and airport transfers...he is very professional & knowledgeable....my advice is do as he suggests 👌Sadly other guests that tried to save $50 on tours got cancelled and missed out on hot air balloon ride 😔 which is a must do at sunrise!

The location is excellent because it allows you to have a beautiful view of the valleys. Azis and his brother, all of them, are helpful, kind, attentive, they made our stay more enjoyable. The additional services offered by the hotel are with good companies at good prices and excellent quality. The toilet and facilities are welcoming, reserved, comfortable, neat. I completely recommend this place to stay and get to know Cappadocia wonderfully.

Todo me gustó.
