Koza Cave Hotel

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Cappadocia, Koza Cave Hotel stands as a testament to the region's charm and allure. However, it was not just the picturesque surroundings or the cozy ambiance that made my stay memorable; it was the exceptional hospitality of Özgür and his incredible team that truly left an indelible mark on my heart.

Özgür, affectionately known as Oscar, quickly became more than just a tour guide; he became a trusted friend. His passion for sharing the beauty of Cappadocia was contagious. We shared stories of our travels and global politics...and he's also got the swagger of a movie star!

One of the highlights of our stay was the unforgettable experience atop Koza Cave Hotel's famous roof deck. Özgür went out of his way in capturing this iconic setting, ensuring that we had photos and videos to treasure for a lifetime. I couldn't help but feel grateful for the newfound friendship that had blossomed amidst such beauty.

If you're seeking a truly immersive and unforgettable experience in Cappadocia (and one of the most comfy beds ever), look no further than Koza Cave Hotel and specifically ask for my friend Özgür. With him by your side, every moment becomes a cherished memory, and every corner of this magical land comes alive with warmth and joy.

The location of the hotel is just perfect. It is at the highest point of Göreme village which makes the view great , plus Uchisar castle is also visible from the terrace. I dont think other hotels in Göreme have this privilage. You dont neee to go somewhere to watch sundown. Breakfast is 5 star hotel level. Rooms are very beautifuly designed and very clean. Özgür from reception is very helpful for the whole experience in Kapadokya as well. Highly recommended.

You should 100% stay at this hotel!

My fiancee and I stayed 1 week at this amazing hotel and were absolutely blown away by the staff, breakfast, and views at this location. We cannot wait to stay here again in the future. This hotel made our trip unforgettable.

Incredibly helpful family owned business thought about every details to ensure we had a perfect trip. I can personally guarantee we got more than our moneys worth staying here as the memories are priceless.

This place lives up to the reviews, it really is as beautiful as claimed. We stayed 2 nights in November in the queen room, which was brand new with a great air conditioner and of course the best view in Cappadocia for the balloons (highest, unobstructed). Everyone was so nice and extra accommodating, beyond even our expectations. You can only book the queen room through their own website, not Hotel websites. Expensive, but worth it if you want the best of the best! Thank you so much for a great experience with our limited time there. The kittens were also adorable.

This is absolutely one of my most favorite hotels I’ve stayed in. Every single member of the staff was so nice and helpful and accommodating. And it’s in the best location ever! Perfect for watching the balloons and only a 10 minute walk from downtown. I originally found this place on Lonely Planet (it was the highest recommended and lonely planet never disappoints) but it exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was also really yummy. And so many super cute friendly stray cats. Anytime I was on the balcony I had a friend in my lap:) the balcony in my pictures I posted in this review is the common area balcony (everyone was super friendly and took turns but getting up there at 5:30 will ensure you a good spot and also allow you to see the sunrise and balloons from start to finish). There is a super nice other balcony that is in a lot of pictures from Koza Cave but that one is only for the suite guests. Last thing - My friend fell sick on the day we were supposed to leave and the hotel staff was SO kind. They found a place for him to rest since our flight was late in the afternoon. 10/10 recommend

Koza Cave is amazing!! Probably the best view in Göreme for the balloons. The rooftop is covered in stunning rugs and cushions. The staff are all so welcoming and kind and the hotel cats are beyond cute! There were even a few sets of kittens while we visited. The breakfast is also phenomenal with tons of options. The rooms are very beautiful, clean, and cozy. It also never felt crowded or busy and had plenty of space for everyone to watch the balloons in the morning. Definitely stay here when visiting Cappadocia.

Definitely the best place to watch the sunrise with the hot air balloons! Plenty of space on the balcony and gorgeous view.

Staff was very good. I'm not sure when the guy ever slept because he was always available morning day and night to greet us.

Cute cats and kittens on premise :)

No issues parking

Only con is cave room = limited hot water (especially in morning everyone was trying to use shower) and no privacy for bathroom (there’s a thin curtain only). However I think this is probably common for all the cave hotels in the area.

Absolutely incredible place to stay. Up the hill away from the touristy spots so very relaxed and sophisticated vibe. Sam and his incredible family were so hospitable, always willing to help with anything and genuinely so friendly. The cave rooms were spectactular and so unique also. All else aside, still the BEST place to
Watch the balloons in the morning. Even better than being in the balloons as you’re right up amongst them on an amazing terrace looking up at them all. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

I recently stayed at Koza Cave Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The receptionist was very accommodating and offered us early check-in and an upgrade on the room when they found out it was our honeymoon. The hotel offers individual rooms with private bathrooms that are extremely clean and come with necessities such as soap, shampoo, and towels. I loved that they provided a breakfast buffet between 8:30 am to 10:30 am, and the food was amazing! Some foods available were: dried fruit, yogurt, jam/honey, pizza, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, fried cheese egg roll looking snack, cookies, apple/banana/watermelon, plenty of assorted breads and condiments, and dessert (I got chocolate and banana mousse cake). The room was spacious and had air conditioning, and they even offered two bottles of water for free. I also appreciated that they provided a mini-fridge in the room stocked with drinks and some snacks for purchase. The location is about a 15-minute walk from the city center, and parking could be scarce at times. However, plenty of coffee and tea are offered, and the terrace was roomy and shared with four other people when we were there. There was plenty of room and time to take photos. I would highly recommend others to stay here and would come back again.
