We have just returned from a wonderful ‘Holiday with a Difference’. We stayed at the Kismet Cave Hotel in Goreme, Cappadocia. The Hotel owner, Faruk, was welcoming, generous and helpful. As a person who has always lived in Goreme, he was able to advise us, and often take us to some of the amazing sights. The hotel was in a... more

We had the good fortune (kismet :) to find Faruk and his lovely pension among the fairy chimney's of Goreme. If you're looking for a beautifully-designed, centrally-located and hospitable pension with a delicious breakfast, then Kismet is perfect. Faruk kindly helped us with all our arrangements which we managed to fit into 3 days - hiking in nearby valleys, Whirling... more

If I had to sum up my whole experience in Kismet Cave House in one word it would be - WOW. The hotel has 8 rooms, all different, all beautifuly restored by the owner Faruk, with attention to every little detail. And if you've heard of the famous turkish hospitality you'll encounter it after meeting Faruk and his friendly staff.... more

Kismet Cave House, Goreme What a neat place! Faruk has put his heart and soul into this place and it really shows. The rooms are nicely appointed and the beds are comfortable (100YTL). The bathrooms are spacious and quite a few rooms are equipped with Jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces that Faruk will light for you if the night is chilly.... more

I cannot stress enough how amazing my stay at the Kismet Cave House was. Its so much more than a hotel to stay it. The best pensions and hotels cannot compare to the experience you'll have when you stay there. My girlfriend and I were on a two week trip in Turkey, our first visit. I was really looking forward... more

I never find time to write reviews but I must for the Kismet Cave House Hotel. We had a fantastic stay. We really got our money's worth. The owner is what makes the difference. He truly cares about your stay. We had a great time in Turkey and stayed at multiple places all over Turkey; but this place stands out.... more

Kudos to the owner Faruk Keles for making our stay at Cappadocia an excellent one. Started out badly enough with a freak windstorm knocking out power to the area. Faruk was kind enough to offer to bring us to any other hotel in the area that had power but on calling around, everyone was similarly affected. Faruk was very hospitable... more

A really lovely hotel with beautiful and luxurious cave rooms, ours had a jacuzzi bath - much appreciated after long dusty walks! the hotel itself has a terrace with views over cappadoccia and pretty wall frescos throughout. The owner and his wife couldnt do more to help you, and took us out to the surrounding area whenever we fancied it,... more

One of the most amazing hotel experiences we've ever had! There's nothing pretentious or stuffy about the Kismet, it truly is like staying in a friend's home. We had two rooms with beautiful architecture, beautiful bathrooms, and jacuzzi tubs. We needed the tubs after the amazing adventures owner Faruk set up for us. From finding us a driver and setting... more
