Small hotel with only 6 rooms and very very friendly and helpfull staff. This makes the difference between a normal stay and a special stay. Staff found cheapest balloon flight for us (still expensive as it was still high season) at the oldest balloon company. Turned out they had a very good pilot, daring to fly very low and close to the rocks. Freshly served breakfast on the table. Staff can give tips for reataurants and other sightseeing aswell. Had also nice chit chat with him during breakfast. And finally our car broke littlebit and it had to be repaired. Staff helped us out by phoning (repair company no english) and finally Staff drove with us with his private car to the workshop to get it fixed. Even brought us to some sightseeing area in nevsehir to kill the time (castle and rock undergroudn village). Thanks Yunus :)

Bathroom is really a stonecave and staff warned us that chips are falling off the ceiling. This is correct and happening alot. Maybe some coating would be nice to improve or impregnate the celing. For the price there are some more cosy hotels as i stayed 2 other places before.

Yunus the host was brilliant. He provided a warm welcome, and nothing was too much trouble from organising tours, to setting a fire in our room so we could enjoy a quiet drink in our room on a cool evening, to serving coffee at 6am so we could have a warming drink as we watched the balloons fly overhead. Breakfast was a plentiful feast served by Yunus with a ready smile. Hotel had a great view of the early morning balloon flights and the valley below.

Nothing to complain about other than we should have stayed longer as, due to one poor day's poor weather, we missed out on the Pigeon and Love valley walks.

Excellent location. Great helpful staff and very tasty filling breakfast!

Not sure if this is a feature of all cave type hotels, but there was some stone debris that would fall off the stone ceilings. The property accounted for this by having a mesh attached to the ceiling in places I.e above the bedded areas in order to “catch” any falling debris but I often found that by the morning, my belongings (that weren’t placed under the meshed areas) were covered a little in the debris. It wasn’t a major problem - I would just dust it off! But thinking of those with any respiratory type issues such as Asthma or dust type allergies, it might affect them.

Location was great, the view from the roof terrace to watch the balloons was excellent. The property had character and was in a quiet area. The hotel manager Yunus was one of the nicest and helpful individuals we’ve ever met on our travels. There was free water available throughout our stay and the breakfast was very good.

There was no bar which would have been a nice addition especially with such a fantastic roof terrace. Only a small thing but the shower door in our bathroom didn’t close so the bathroom floor got very wet and slippery.

The hotel is a small boutique hotel that has been refurbished from its original construction as a cave house. I was pleasantly surprised that the neighborhood was actually better than my initial impression from Google Maps streetview. Bathrooms were large and in great condition with modern fixtures. The manager, Yanuz, was very helpful in accommodating the needs of our group, advising on nearby restaurants, setting up balloon rides, and arranging a customized tour using our own van. Views and furnishings in breakfast room/terrace and on upper roof deck were excellent.

We are from UK and we stayed in Salkim cave hotel for 5 nights with kids/family. I highly recommend this hotel as the room was very spacious, my kids loved the room/beds. Breakfast was great! Terrace view was amazing with hot air balloon great views, you can see it so close! Yunus was very helpful and a wonderful host, always smiling, caring and approachable. He gave us a very good deal with hot air balloon and helped us with info about local attractions. Other staff members were also very polite.

We really loved the accommodation, there is an extremely high quality service offered by the staff to compliment the very nice rooms. It had a real family business feel and what this brings is excellent care and attention to detail from the staff, they care about your experience and work hard to ensure you are happy. We stayed for a week and we were looked after so well by everyone at Salkim Cave House. Thank you.

There was nothing we didn't like about the accommodation, we have been travelling continuously for over 1 year and it was one of the best places we have stayed.

The host/manager & operator yunus made our stay seamless and stress free. We genuinely feel that he makes the place what it is and contributes to its success. From booking initially from Australia & all the way through our journey he has assisted us whether it be hotel transfers, activities in Goreme, balloon flight advice, and availability 24/7 really made our experience a memorable one 😊 thank you Yunus, uysal & judy Australia 2024.

Liked everything

We loved Salkim Cave Hotel! Yunus and Celal were well informed, professional and amazing helpful - when we realised we had left a piece of luggage at the airport, almost an hour’s drive away, they quickly made a few phone calls and arranged delivery (free) the next morning. Gorgeous traditional Turkish breakfasts, a spacious and cosy bedroom that was spotlessly clean (& serviced daily), a bathroom to match, and an attractive area to sit outside our room door. But … we came for the views of the balloons and wow, Salkim Cave House delivers! There is a new third floor deck with stunning 360 deg views, you can see across to Uchisar, Sunrise Point and to where the balloons take off and land. Instagram photo opportunities galore with a hanging chair, Turkish cushions and the cutest little dog. Yunus woke up at crack of dawn to bring us coffee on the roof terrace, it gets pretty chilly in the morning in September in Goreme!

We were surprised that the wardrobe did not have any shelves, but this was a very small point.

It was a fabulous experience, Yunus was an excellent host and made the experience very joyfull he was very active and welcoming and offered advice whenever needed. He organised local tours,balloon ride and car hires and generally helped us our entire visit. The rooms were spacious and lovely, the breakfast was delicious and adorable dog bulut who my daughters loved. Overall a wonderful experience and would recommend.

Nothing it was absolutely perfect
