Milat Cave Hotel is a boutique visual hotel right in the heart of Göreme, tourism capital city for Cappadocia. Among a flood market offering rooms inside caves or stone houses, it makes an outstanding merge between raw real cave structures and sophisticated high-end interior finishings blending marble, carved wood, and Turkish rugs. Social media made this place famous for large terraces giving front-row seats to view all hot air balloons over the valley at sunrise; mostly targeting couples on honeymoon or content creators searching that ‘Cappadocia experience’ sleeping inside a cave but with Jacuzzi/luxury amenities underfloor heating history well balanced by modern comfort.

Quick Summary - Milat Cave Hotel


  • The rooftop terraces are splendid; they have been arranged with traditional carpets and cushions which make them ideal both for watching the balloons and taking photos as well.
  • The interior design is outstanding; every room is different, detailed with stone carvings and niches. It seems as if a palace has been carved out of rock.
  • Despite how dusty the general environment of Cappadocia may be, inside this hotel it is perfectly clean and well maintained with no sign of dust anywhere in the rooms or common areas.
  • They serve a large Kahvaltı (Turkish breakfast) containing local jams, cheeses and eggs. Most probably you will also get to enjoy your breakfast with a view at their restaurant.
  • Very helpful staff who can organize anything for you from airport transfers to Green/Red tours and balloon flights.
  • × The place is located on top of a hill, an uphill walk from the center of town. Though the distance is short, it can get tiring unless you are very fit or if you have problems with mobility.
  • × As in many other cave hotels, here too in some of the deeper ‘true cave’ rooms there is limited natural light and the room may feel slightly humid albeit ventilation.
  • × Price points can spike significantly during the peak balloon seasons (spring and autumn), making it a premium choice.
