My wife and I have just come back from Vietnam and I was writing some reviews when I asked myself if I had neglected to write any reviews from previous holidays. I was thinking of our visit to the Elif Star in October 2015 so I asked my wife what she thought, she said, "give it five stars". She's right, so I'm doing what I should have done eighteen months ago. The breakfasts were always good, but I'll never forget the meticulous way our first breakfast was presented, amazing!  Kadir also took us around the local sites in his private vehicle at no charge and arranged a balloon flight and other excursions at competitive prices. When there was a mix up for our ballooning pick up, Kadir took us at 5am, when we wanted to book a bus journey to Bodrum, Kadir helped us and one of his staff/family dropped us at the bus station.Good service is good business, but I think with Kadir it is more than just business and reading the reviews since our visit has only confirmed my view.

Great experience

Had an awesome stay at this location in Nov 2015, Rather than writing a huge paragraph i will jot down the highlights of my stay

1. Being an Indian and not used to cold temperature - We arrived at Cappadocia - Extremely unprepared (Bad planning i know), When we got down from our Bus - The temperature was freezing at -1 Degrees. To top that up we were in our beach outfits (Travelled from antalya) and arrived at 6.30 AM in the morning.
Gave Mr Kadir a call, He was generous enough to offer us tea and breakfast - Even arranged a room for us this early in the morning - With usual check in times ranging from 10 AM - 11 AM.

2. He planned our trip perfectly which suited our budget and wasnt too hectic as well, Must say his english was extremely fluent.

3. The thing i am most thankful about is, How he went out of the way to co-ordinate with my Cab driver who dropped me at the airport - Before you wonder i stupidly left my Wallet which had all my Credit Cards and my UK visa in the cab - He made sure that it was delivered to me on time just before my flight.
Cant imagine what would i have done at Heathrow without a valid BRP Card :)

Overall, I would say i havent had someone host me this well - With this passion in my entire life.

If i have to rate Cappadocia - It would be a 10 for the Early morning ballooning and a wonderful which we got in Mr Kadir Teke.

Hope that you continue to treat the travellers this way, Means a lot.

Best of Luck,

Tarun Yadav

First Cave stay Experience, Mind Blown with the hospitality!

Our first experience of staying in a cave... but when in Cappadocia why not!
The room was comfortable, decorated with local handicrafts and felt very authentic. The bathroom was functional, very clean and hygienic.  Linen and towels were spotless.  The tea/coffee making facilities were a great touch, so too were the rose smelling toiletries. Rooms are cleaned daily.  We had a cute balcony with great views. Breakfast was fresh, presented with love and in a  homely environment. .  Infact the Teke family who run this place are what make it.  They are the kindest, most welcoming friendliest people.  If you order in the morning, Mrs Teke will make dinner, which, after a long day touring is just what we needed... and she is a great, rustic cook -  her testi kebab was awesome.  Kadir Teke runs cappadocianguide.com from the office, come breakfast/dining/hang out space.   He put together with most amazing itinerary for us which included the  transfer  from our hotel in Istanbul, flights, hot air balloon trip and tours with 48hrs notice.  He speaks perfect English, Japanese and Spanish! I cannot recommend the cave living experience or the services of Kadir and high family highly enough.

Cave dwelling at its best

Had a wonderful stay at this little cave hotel. The host is fantastic with perfect English and so much knowledge of the area and history of Turkey. I found breakfast a little light but it is really cheap so great value stay. Highly recommend. 

Great Stay with wonderful host

Staying first time in Cave Hotel, Its a different feel, It will take you back to ancient time, This Property is run by Mr Gadir and Family, Very dedicated team and committed to their guests and ready to serve you for anything you want. First night we arrived late night at 2 AM , he had arranged airport pick up for us and gave us warm welcome although it was his sleeping time, We planned to stay there only one night, but our balloon flight was cancelled due to bad weather and had to extend our stay, he has given small discount for next night and also helped me to arrange air ticket back to Istanbul without charging any additional money. Fortunately we could fly next day and it was awesome. He had arranged a day tour program for us at a very nominal rate and guide Mr Salim was very informative and interactive, he detailed us every aspects of places we visited, Normally I don't take guide service during any trips, but Salim has really impressed me and made me realize the importance of good guides. He had arranged a nice lunch for us in a river side restaurant and Traut fish I have eaten from there is one of the best I have ever eaten in my life. I would recommend other travelers to take full package from him including airport shuttle service, so that you don't need to deal with different vendors and don't have to pay any advance for balloon flight or tours, you are at safe hand of Mr Gadir, On the contrary if you try to arrange your own, you may end up paying little more, We stay at many four or five star hotels but never get any relatives from these Hotels, but Mr Gadir and Family become our relatives within short span. Really missing them. Property is Good one and Room is in average size of course its a cave room, it had clean toilet and Clean Bed and nice Balcony.  Breakfast doesn't have much options but they had very nice sweets. People who expect luxury, this is not for them, but those who want to feel old time with all basic necessities, go for it, This Property and whole Cappadocia will take you to Old Era.. Location is close to downtown. Once again million thanks to Mr Gadir ffor his service
