I just returned home from my trip to Turkey and was dreaming of my room at the Kismet Cave Hotel. The owner, Farouk, was nothing but warm-hearted and the staff was totally delightful and helpful with all of the silly little requests that come up when traveling. But the physical beauty of the hotel itself is really what made the... more

We weren't in a Cave room (could have switched in, but it seemed cold!), but our Rose room was very nice--beautiful furniture and first-class cheesy mural. The highlight of staying here was definitely the service: two full-time, knowledgeable people looking after the needs of not very many guests. They were very willing to take us around wherever we wanted to... more

I recently stayed at the Kismet Cave House and the experience far exceeded my expectations. Faruk was an excellent host and tour guide. He really made the experience even more memorable with his hospitality and extensive knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend the Kismet Cave House to anyone who is visiting the area. more

Kismet Cave House is the kind of hotel that is just genuine. If you, like me, prefer people over fancy amenities, and travelling independently over huge tour groups, then you'll enjoy your stay here. This hotel is charming and understated, and I cannot thank Faruk and Cihat enough for a wonderful few days' stay; they showed such warmth and hospitality.... more

The location was easy walking distance to Goreme town center and the hotel and room were unexpectedly nice, but the real secret of the Kismet Cave House is Faruk, the owner. He made my wife and I feel at home and provided accurate and full descriptions of where and when to go. His warm hospitality made us feel we were... more

We were soo lucky to stumble across the Kismet Caves during our stay in Cappadoccia. The rooms are beautiful, the location is excellent to all the local ameneties, and within easy walking distance to the Rose Valleys. The service we recieved was brilliant, and we felt that Faruk and Cihan went out of their way to make us feel welcome... more

This is truly one of the best places I have ever stayed at while traveling. The hotel is small (8 rooms) but charming, intimate and very clean. Faruk and Jahan look out for you like a member of their own families (indeed I really felt like I was with family during my stay). Faruk is also a terrific arranger of... more

The physical hotel is warm and welcoming. It is kept in excellant condition and has all the modern amenities, while keeping the charm of traditional village life in Cappadocia. The real pleasure of staying at the Kismet is the Keles family and their staff. It seems they always have time to make you tea, tell you how the chimneys formed,... more

My friend and I spent four wonderful days at the Kismet Cave House. While I was skeptical about the reviews that I had read, I quickly found that the praise was true and well deserved. Faruk and his family and Jahan were very gracious hosts. We arrived early in the morning with my friend not feeling well, he let us... more
