“Staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel was truly one of the highlights of our Cappadocia adventure! As the first and oldest hotel”
Liked: Staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel was truly one of the highlights of our Cappadocia adventure! As the first and oldest hotel in Cappadocia, Kelebek carries a remarkable legacy, yet what impressed us most is how it has managed to preserve its exceptional hospitality and genuine commitment to customer service throughout the years. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, attentive, and receptive to our needs. Their warmth and willingness to help made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. It is refreshing to experience a hotel where hospitality feels so sincere rather than simply part of the job. The location is absolutely spectacular, perched above Göreme with breathtaking panoramic views of Cappadocia’s iconic fairy chimneys and extraordinary landscape. The scenery alone makes staying here an unforgettable experience, especially during sunrise when hot air balloons fill the sky. One experience that truly sets Kelebek apart is the exclusive King’s Valley farm-to-table breakfast experience, available to guests of the Kelebek hotel group. This was so much more than breakfast—it was an opportunity to connect with the land, local traditions, and authentic Anatolian hospitality. Knowing that approximately 95% of the hotel’s breakfast ingredients come directly from King’s Valley Farm makes the experience even more meaningful. The freshness, quality, and authenticity of the food are exceptional, and the beautiful farm setting makes it an experience not to be missed. What makes Kelebek Cave Hotel truly special is that it offers more than beautiful accommodations. It offers a connection to Cappadocia’s history, culture, people, and traditions. Hotels can build beautiful rooms, but genuine hospitality and lasting memories are what create a legacy. Kelebek has clearly mastered both. An exceptional stay and a wonderful representation of Turkish hospitality. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kelebek Cave Hotel to anyone visiting Cappadocia! ❤️🇹🇷🎈

“We decided to spend extra on our stay in Goreme and after a recommended on a blog we decided to splurge on this hotel.”
Liked: The location, the ambience, the decor, the service, the restaurant food was all absolutely amazing. We had a suite with room to spread out, the view was gorgeous, the bed was comfortable and the attention to detail was perfect
Disliked: Occassion smell from the plumbing which apparently is a common problem in the cave hotels but we just made sure to flush the shower, bathtub and floor vent each day to prevent it

“Exceptional”
Liked: **Five Stars** I rarely feel compelled to write a review, but this hotel went above and beyond in every aspect. **Service that shines.** From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff were warm, kind, and quick to help. Every request was handled with a smile, and it made the whole stay feel effortless. **A truly stunning property.** Every detail is beautifully curated. You can feel the care that went into the design, and it's a joy to simply wander around and take it all in. **Experiences you won't find elsewhere.** The hotel partners with the best vendors in town, from horseback riding to a farm breakfast. The farm, which is owned and operated by the hotel, was a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend making time for it. **Spa services that are incredible.** Truly, don't miss out. It was the perfect way to unwind. **Food that's a 10/10.** The breakfast spread was amazing, with so many delicious options that I looked forward to it every morning. It would be a miss not to stay here, so do yourself a favor and book

“THE BEST! Stay here, accept the casual invitation to dine at the farm.”
Liked: Breafast was as expected and met my expectations on site. However the farm outing with breakfast was simply amazing, exceeding my expectations by leaps and bounds. It was so casually offered that I wasn't expecting much but WOW! It captured the true hopsitality of the Turkish culture that I have read so much about. Be hungry when visiting someone! The food was superb, the staff like family and is one of the best experiences of my life during foreign travel. I cannot provide enough praise about the Kelebek, its family heritage and staff. I would love to visit again. The staff was able to get us on a balloon after ours was canceled. The roof top views were so close that people were sharing fruit with the passangers of the balloons. Wonderful experiences.
Disliked: Nothing that would be doable. We stayed in a fairy chimney.. at night between the vehicles, trucks, and animals it was not a restful sleep. We are dog people so we are used to barking but the other noises were a bit disturbing. A roof heater for making the best views of the city a bit more comfortable. Suggest taking a robe to the roof. It was cold. But the views were worth the chill.

“Magical Cave Hotel”
Liked: An absolutely magical cave hotel! Amazing views of Cappadoccia from its many terraces, pool area and restaurant. Staff were fantastic - helpful and friendly. It's a short stroll to Goreme town. We stayed in a junior suite cave room which was delightful - very comfortable, and well-appointed. Such a shame that we had to leave! Highly recommend.
