Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel is amazing! We enjoyed the view, the serenity of the scenery, the room was excellent, the staff and Ahmet, the owner, very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!
Un luogo da sogno. Colazione e cena con vista spettacolare, la colazione preparata "alla giornata" da una signora di una gentilezza unica, quantità sovrabbondanti di cibo buonissimo (anche se non proprio conforme ai gusti italiani, ma buonissimo). Camere da provare una volta nella vita. Super consigliato
Non ci si arriva davanti con l'auto (comprensibilmente). Inoltre, dormire in una grotta presenta alcune mancanze di comodità, ma l'esperienza più che ripaga i piccoli contrattempi / problemi
这个小镇很安静很精致,但有很好的餐厅和咖啡厅,不像格雷梅那么闹哄哄。这家B&B坐落在小镇最安静的一侧,独享一个山谷。房间是真正的洞穴,宽敞舒适,早餐很好。强烈推荐。
wifi信号不大好
很美麗的城鎮,飯店離城鎮不遠,步行可到達,房間是洞穴屋原始特別,改造得還不錯算舒適,早餐豐盛好吃
規模比較小要辦理入住需找一下人,有點費時麻煩,公共區域沒有廁所,還沒入住或退房後只能去城鎮上廁所,另外公車無法到達這個城鎮,只能搭計程車
The location and view was breathtaking, breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean.
Nothing
La struttura è molto bella, situata nel tipico paesaggio della Cappadocia ma fuori dai centri più turistici, mantenendo un carattere autentico. Il personale è gentile ed attento e la colazione è ricca e variegata. Le camere sono con la conformazione tipica scavata nella roccia, ma hanno ampie finestre
Gli arredi esterni davanti la camera erano belli ma non erano stati puliti e preparati per poterne usufruire
Great family cave room. Beautiful terrace with amazing view in peaceful village but still close to all main sites. Breakfast was the highlight served by the lovely Fatima
Cave was a little dark
Total gemütliches und hellen Zimmer trotz Höhle, schöner Ausblick und super netter Host
Die Restaurants sind in der Region Recht teuer (wie Deutschland) und ehrlich gesagt nicht besonders gut vom Essen. Das hat aber nichts mit dem Hotel zum tun
There are not enough good things to say about our stay at Potamia Cave Suites. It exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were so thoughtfully put together. We stayed in the Family Room (Room 102, I think) with our family of 4. The extra space was helpful gave us room to breathe during our trip and the beds were all comfortable. The breakfast was out of this world and we felt so welcomed and cared for. My biggest surprise was the perk of exploring the caves that surround Potamia Cave Suites and walking the trail that sits below the hotel. This was a quiet sanctuary, especially compared to the business of Goreme, and I'm so grateful we stayed here during our time in Cappodocia. If you want a retreat that's steeped in history, culture and beauty this is your place.
Wifi in our room wasn't the strongest - it worked, just slow - but I honestly appreciated that it helped me stay off my phone and experience the place.
Unbelievable. The rooms (cave room) and whole domain were so thoughtfully decorated, clean and cosy, super friendly staff and amazing breakfast. Location is thé best in the city because of the magestic view in the valley. I will definitely come back here with my family once!
Nothing, everything was lovely 100%.
Wunderschön gelegene Unterkunft mit tollen Zimmern und großartigem Frühstück von Fatma.Das gesamte Personal ist sehr freundlich.Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und bedanken uns für 3 wundervolle Tage.
The breakfast was excellent, with an amazing view of the valley. Unfortunately due to weather, the balloon rides were canceled that day, so we didn't get to see the balloons in the valley too
Les chambres sont charmantes, confortables et au calme. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'excellent petit déjeuner préparé par les adorables cuisinières. Il y a de quoi manger pour la journée et c'est très bon !
The place was excellent. The host accommodated our wish and allowed our daughter to sleep on the sofa-bed in the entry-living room. That proximity was important to us. The room had a stunning view of a very picturesque valley in Capodocia. It is an authentic cave hotel and the walls are not significantly modified (like many other more expensive versions) which does give a very unique feel to the stay.
Lieu magnifique, cadre vraiment agréable et très bien entretenu. Le petit déjeuner était excellent, varié et délicieux. Un grand merci au personnel, adorable, attentionné et toujours disponible. Nous avons passé un très beau séjour et recommandons vivement cet établissement !

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Cappadocia. Everything was truly perfect, from the beautiful atmosphere to the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and always ready to help, making the whole experience even more special. A special thank you to Fatima from the kitchen, who went above and beyond with her warmth and care. Her kindness made us feel right at home. The hotel itself is stunning and the location is simply magical, Cappadocia is like something out of a dream. Waking up here felt unforgettable. Honestly, everything was 10/10. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay. I can’t wait to come back! ✨
Да, очень красиво и необычно!
Локация, сам отель это находится в пещерах с прекрасным видом, номера это пещеры, короче все очень круто, особенно понравился завтрак, очень душевные тетушки которые его готовили, очень красиво вкусно и уютно, очень понравился местный сотрудник «Хагрид» помог с вещами и помог выехать из двора. Так же сотрудники помогли забронировать полет на Шарах, очень рекомендую. Единственное что не понравилось это дверь в ванную она из стекла с большими щелями как то не комфортно.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The owner were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The service was excellent and very attentive. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and relaxing. My room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, perfect for resting after a long day. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for great service and a comfortable, pleasant place to stay.
Incredible location and view, kind and helpful staff, clean, beautiful and spacious rooms. The breakfast was also super tasty and huge. We really had a magic experience in Potamia!
Everything was great, really.
Having really nice stay, view is magnificent.
Breathtaking views, excellent customer service and hospitality. Exceptional breakfast!! Definitely will come back
Breakfast was amazing and staff also very kind
Sometimes wifi connection was weak but it’s in the cave so it is what it is…
Such a magical place! Expectations were high and they were met. We were well taken care of by everyone.
Nothing comes to mind.
The property and its host are exceptional. Achmed is passionate about sharing his beautiful cave suites hotel to guests in the best possible Turkish hospitality, we felt like staying with family. He answers every questions and helps book with experienced advice the best attractions on the area. His breakfasts are different yet fantastic examples of Turkish gastronomy at its best, his effort shows. The rooms are located next to the valley so no matter the room, you wake up to a beautiful scenic and peaceful view. We are extremely grateful for finding this gem in such beautiful region. You also get a view of the Ortahisar castle and its walking distance to the cute little town.
Nothing
From the outset the owner/manager was incredibly prompt and helpful in all my communication with him. I was a bit concerned as to whether there would be enough light in the cave room but he sent me pictures and reassured me that it would be fine. It was superb -such care has been taken with the furnishings and design of each room and space! The cave rooms felt luxurious and so quiet. A beautiful location with chairs and tables on various terraces and views across the gorge. Eating breakfast in the October morning sun was a wonderful experience - the courses kept coming and all the food was so delicious. And the views such a perfect way to start the day! From the hotel there were some lovely walks so an excellent stay all round. I really recommend this place!
As we are on the older side a reading lamp for the sitting area would be really helpful - especially in the more wintry months when it gets dark earlier.
This place absolutely exceeded our expectations. The village is much smaller and more relaxed than Goreme, and the hotel is perfectly located overlooking a small valley. The sounds of the muezzin call to prayer echoing across the valley is something I'll never forget! Ahmed was kind and super helpful, and resident dog Roxy and multiple cats entertained the kids for hours. Breakfast overlooking the valley was another amazing core memory generated! Make sure to do the little hike in front through the valley. Beautiful!
Nothing - it was perfect
All perfect, I will definitely come back again for Tarchin! Miss her already!

远离喧嚣,放空的好地方!整个山头都是老板的,酒店经营的很好,审美在线,处处是景,早餐也很美味。看得出来老板是真心热爱这个地方。两天完全不够住,推荐大家来卡帕多奇亚都来住这里!
没有,都很棒
İt was as authentic as the other cave houses that are tripple the price, very nice view, clean, quite. I was contacted via WhatsApp to support my arrival.
None
The Potamia has amazing ambiance and decor, its impeccably designed, from the many outdoor balconies and patios, to the room layout, furniture and decorations. The staff is attentive, welcoming and accommodating. Great and memorable cave dwelling experience!
Not much to complain about but the wifi is spotty and slow at times.
Fuori dal caos di Goreme, ma vicinissima alle principali zone da visitare! Una struttura bellissima con una vista mozzafiato
Hermoso, acogedor y bien ubicado
Sólo que es difícil trasladar maletas al interior
Orthisar is wonderful and quiet, Ahmet our host is really friendly and speaks great english, the hotel itself is a piece of art, decorated beautifuly and respectfuly. Probably our favorite place we have ever been to. Thank you for everything.
Nothing.
The location is incredible, with a fantastic view of the small valley. The hotel itself is wonderful, on several levels, with a lot of terraces and places to sit and enjoy the views. The rooms are fantastic, and truly caved in the rocks, unlike most other hotels where they tend to be fake. The owner is amazing, always available, attentive and helpful. Breakfast was really good, both in size and offering, though making it buffet might reduce some waste, but otherwise I can't complain.
As I said, maybe a buffet breakfast might be a better choice so as to reduce some waste (the portions are so big that most of the time we left something behind, also not everyone liked everything, as is usual, especially with teens).
Le lieu est magnifique avec ses multiples extérieurs et une vue splendide. Très bon accueil. Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse est excellent, copieux et varié.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The building and its furnishings are beautiful- all so tastefully done. A wonderful place to relax and spend time in. Lots of little nooks and crannies and terraces to sit on, beautiful plants and antiques about the place. Very friendly and helpful owner. Loved it.
Nothing at all- no parking I suppose but this was easily solved with the help of the hotel who carved out a space for our car!
This remarkable location is tucked away in a peaceful corner of the village, offering stunning views of the valley. The restoration of the old cave building has been carried out with exceptional care and high aesthetic standards, seamlessly blending traditional architecture with modern furnishings. The terrace is incredible, and the unique promenade overlooking the valley is off the beaten path. The staff is friendly and fluent in English. The manager even upgraded our room for free! It was truly an exceptional experience.
You can park a few meters away if there is a free space; otherwise, it’s a 5-minute walk.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel. It felt less like staying at a hotel and more like being welcomed into the home of close friends or family. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. The decor was modern and thoughtfully designed, with great attention to detail throughout. We loved the location — it was perfectly situated for easy access to all the main attractions and sightseeing spots in Cappadocia. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and one of our favorite experiences was walking through the beautiful trail at the bottom of the valley. The breakfasts were great — delicious, varied, and beautifully presented each morning. We also met the owner, who was warm and welcoming, even inviting us to a family gathering they were hosting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, heartwarming stay in Cappadocia.
We had such a wonderful stay! The place is incredibly cosy and quiet – perfect for relaxing and recharging. The view was beautiful, the breakfast was amazing, and everything was really well organised, especially all the extra services we booked. Ahmet, our host, was fantastic – so kind, helpful, and always available with great tips. He also spoke excellent English, which made everything super easy. We felt very welcome and would definitely love to come back. Thank you for everything!
The stone cave room was very nice, breakfast was very good, the view was spectacular, Bed was very comfy. Unique atmosphere of the cave room. Service was good, room clean.
Minor things we didn't loke: Breakfast only from 9 o'clock, Hurling the luggage to the cave room was a bit of a workout. Bathroom was not practical (neither holder for tothbrushes or hand soap) and too dark . The curtain was difficult to use properly due to the door opening to the inside of the cave room.
Everything was wonderful, the location offers beautiful views of the valley and the people that own the place couldn’t have been more helpful and nice. The apartments give an authentic feel, furnished with local crafted things and reclaimed wood. Highly recommend!

The property is gorgeous and away from the crowd and noise. Very peaceful atmosphere. The owner was very friendly, helpful and generously offered and upgrade to our booking. The cave rooms are very neat and clean. And the view from the hotel of the valley is extremely beautiful. The breakfast had generous portions and was delicious. Two friends pups at the property was also a plus point for us!

We had a very nice stay at Potamia Cave Suites. The caves are in a quiet and beautiful valley, away from the busy tourist areas. Our host, Ahmed, was amazing—very kind and helpful. He made sure we were always comfortable. Breakfast was really special. Every day, they gave us different local pastries to try, which we loved. If you are visiting Cappadocia, Turney and want a peaceful and relaxing place to stay, we really recommend this place!
Honestly, nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations — we truly had no complaints.
The ambience of the property was extremely cosy, clean and serene. Well-constructed and well-maintained. The room cleaning happens everyday obviously you could opt out. The owner and the staff are always available for your queries and are open for a friendly conversation and a coffee. The breakfast table was set for us before we were there with freshly baked bread, pastry and hot coffee/tea. The location is very calm and beautiful with mountain view.
The toilet may not have much privacy while staying with friends. But for couples, it’s perfect with all facilities and cleanliness.
Location, view, scenery, snd wonderful hospitality of the host and the hostess (the dog ambassador Roxy). The valley trail is beautiful, tranquil and full of wonderful surprises (friendly dogs, horses, cave churches). The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. It was spectacular.
None. Everything was wonderful.
I am from Germany with Turkish background and visit yearly different parts of turkey, so I have already seen a lot. This is by far the most beautiful place that I stayed here in this country. The place is full of love for details, has an exceptional level of hygienic standard unlike other hotels here nearby we stayed in and a very exceptional nice taste. You have a beautiful view and so many nice spots to chill and relax, the rooms have a big bath tube or a Turkish bath where you can almost have a spa day when it’s raining outside. The breakfast varies daily, everything is home made and you also get clean good food. We extended our stay and are already sad that we need to leave soon. You will definitely feel comfortable around Ahmed who is very polite and easy to talk to.
Ahmet is the kindest and most attentive host of any place I have ever stayed. He has created a haven of peace and tranquility at Potamia Cave, managing most successfully to combine authentic character decor with modern conveniences, such as a brilliant hot shower, loads of power points, high speed Internet and the comfiest bed I’ve slept in for ages. A fabulous breakfast too. Plus, the views are sublime! This is one of those rare travelling experiences when the real thing is better than the photos. If you are looking for a home base in Cappadocia don’t look any further. Ahmet will take the very best care of you at the totally perfect Potamia Cave Hotel.
Nothing. It was perfect.
Excellent host, very accommodating and willing to help with any questions we had. He gave very good suggestions about local shooping and restaurants. Breakfast was also delicious.

Staffs are really accommodating - Mr Ahmet communicated with us all throughout our stay and made sure we experience the best service. He cooked us delicious turkish breakfast with fantastic view in their reception window outlooking the valleys. Our room’s clean and cozy. Location’s quiet as well. Everything was amazing and definitely will recommend.
Property’s great. Maybe it’s just the steep road going down the location.
What an amazing place! Away from all the touristy noise this beautifully decorated hotel in a stunning scenery is just breathtaking. The host is super nice and very helpful to any question you might have. The cave rooms are clean and the breakfast very nice. Clearly 10 out of 10👌🏼
We spent four nights at the Potamia Hotel, and everything was wonderful. The hotel has a beautiful location, and the village of Ortahisar is very charming and peaceful. In the morning, we were welcomed by the warm kindness of Ahmet, always available to assist for any request or information and with whom it was a pleasure to have conversation, along with a fantastic breakfast. Our room was very charming, beautifully furnished, and extremely comfortable. We absolutely loved our stay in this hotel. Thank you for everything, Ahmet! Federica and Stefano
Nothing, everything is perfect!
The location and layout of the hotel are beautiful and our cave room was luxurious. Staff were exceptional. Ahmet's communication was clear and proactive prior to our arrival and he was available to answer questions about the area and to give advice and insights on best sites to visit. Breakfast was beautifully presented, generous and delicious.
We absolutely loved our stay in this hotel. The rooms are beautifully designed and right in the center of Ortahisar. Ahmet is such a kind host and organized anything we needed, even a babysitter so that we could go on a balloon ride. I would instantly book there again.
Nothing, loved it!
Perfect: welcoming and helpful staff, ambience of the place/location, breakfast, cleanliness. Thanks Ahmed and friends 🙏🥂
The property and the views from it was absolutely gorgeous. The staff and the owner Ahmet were very kind and helpful. Breakfast selection was amazing it was a typical Turkish breakfast.
The tv never worked in the room
Great place with very hispitable staff and amzing view. Well decorated and clean. Room big enough. Recommend it.
Mr Ahmet, the owner provided us with Excellent Service on our 2 night stays. We can’t ask for more. Highly Recommended. The only setback for us Not about his hotel, was that the weather didn’t permit Balloon Flying on both days.
Insanely beautiful interiors and views, lots of space on the terraces where you can enjoy a coffee or breakfast. Everything is designed with great attention to detail. Friendly staff who were happy to help and make us feel comfortable. This is that rare case when everything turned out to be even more beautiful in person than in the photos. I wish the hotel to thrive and succeed!
We visited a lot of beautiful hotels and B&B’s around the world, but Ahmet’s Potamia Cave Suites was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in! The hotel is beautiful situated in the valley of Ortahisar, a cosy town close to all the Cappadocia highlights. The enormous terrashouse really looks like paradise. Ahmet did the most wonderful job decorating the place even in the smallest details. The rooms are spacious, clean, luxurious and one of a kind. Large and comfortable beds, lovely bathroom with a very large shower. Because the hotel is overlooking the valley, it is extremely quiet at night. The breakfast is either served in a buffet or, when it’s more quiet in the hotel, at one of the many tables on one of the many beautiful terraces at your choice. Daily fresh produce and lovely Turkish delights. Just amazing! (A very big plus for us: breakfast is served until 11h00) Last but certainly not least: Ahmet is by far the friendliest and knowledgeable host we met during our trip through Turkey. He knows everyone and everything there is to know to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Always a smile on his face and ready to take care of his guests. The hardest working guy in showbizz :) Ahmet, many thanks to you and your staff for making our visit to Ortahisar unforgettable!
Excellent service, very nice view hotel. Great breakfast. Ahmet texted me before the day I stayed due the bathroom problem so I can’t stay in Potamia but he gave me the other hotel which is next door hotel and upgraded to the suite room, but I believe Potamia room is better. Highly recommended for staying at cave hotel experience
The hotel offers a stunning blend of ancient cave architecture and traditional Islamic design. Ortahisar is a remarkable village that I highly recommend visiting. It's an authentic place with friendly, welcoming residents. Our host, Ahmed, and his team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. The entire experience of Cappadocia was unforgettable, largely due to our stay in Ortahisar and Ahmed’s wonderful hotel.
Location was really fabulous and the resort was also so good
Absolutely amazing rooms of character! Very well kept and clean. Can’t recommend enough!
There was some confusion about breakfast starting time (the night before we were told 8:30 but in the morning they said 9). No big deal but we had some activities planned in the morning and we were counting on the 8:30 start.
If you're looking to stay at a cozy place with lovely people and a picturesque view, Potamia Cave Suites is THE PLACE for you 🫶🏼
Location, friendly welcoming staff and very clean rooms.

Highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable and delightful stay!
