Takunya Cave Hotel

Good location and have tour options.

Excellent location with friendly, family oriented staff. They make effort to accommodate and are extremely helpful and friendly. There is a cat named Murphy who is also friendly. The accommodations are very clean and sophisticated. Perfect for 3 nights. Location was really exceptional. Parking available on the street nearby. Nice area to walk around at night. I would stay here again if I were to return.

Felt like the owner, Fatima, went out of her way to be unpleasant and unaccommodating from the start. Hostile, unfriendly, rude. We had to search for her when we arrived to check in since no one was at reception. She refused to help us call the airport or arrange transport to retrieve our bags that the airline lost, insisting she would only help book tours (so she’d get the commission). We obviously took our business elsewhere. Room was dank, dark, smelly, fetid and hot (hey, to be expected, right? It’s a cave). But ours also had no window or any ventilation at all unless we left the door open, in which case the owner’s car would run in. ZERO housekeeping during a four-night stay. One morning, Fatima came into the room not realizing we were still in there then left abruptly, which was strange since again, she didn’t clean at all while we were there, not even to empty rubbish or replace toilet paper. She kept trying to get our friend to "gift" her the gold earrings she was wearing or soliciting other "gifts" from us. The last few days she spent laying on the couch in reception saying she was sick and yelling at guests to close the door (the only way in or out). She did not keep her distance from us or our toddler and as a result, we were all sick the rest of the two-week trip to Turkey with whatever she had. All in all, would NOT recommend.

We loved our stay here. The hotel is so central and Fatma is absolutely amazing! It is a value for money hotel and a must stay! We stayed in the cave room 103 and absolutely loved our time spent here. You can even see the balloons from the terrace here. Fatma makes excellent handmade jewellery too. Will definitely visit again.

We stayed in the cave suite at this hotel located on the ground floor. The location of this hotel is excellent, shops, restaurants, atm machine all close by. Fatma and her cat Murphy are both lovely and approachable. Her son that sits at the front desk cannot understand English that well but Fatma is great. My husband messed up our hotel stay so we had booked 1 night less, luckily Fatma had a free room and was helpful in getting us moved in. I would definitely stay here again but there are a few things that could be improved. For example we expected our room to be cleaned after returning from a day out, when we asked Fatma why our room wasn't cleaned she said that we needed to leave our keys with her in the morning, which wasn't mentioned when we arrived. Secondly, we booked an airport transfer for our arrival and departure, the arrival worked out great but the departure was very hit and miss. We asked if the airport transfer could pick us up earlier but we kept being told that the time they had suggested was fine and we only discovered that this could not be changed after we had paid the money which was annoying. The transfer picked us up from hotel quite late and other passengers seemed equally annoyed at how late the transfer was running. We arrived at the airport 1 hour before departure and as a result, had to rush to get checked in. This could have been avoided if we were told that the transfer pick up times are fixed before taking our money. All in all our stay was nice but I think things could be explained a bit better before taking bookings.

The kindness of the staff, beautiful view from the room nice view the sunrise with hundreds of hot balloons on the horizon.

We love the rooms, the cleanliness the beds the bathrooms and the location

Cant explain the kindness and level of care Fatima gave us, she is like a mother to us now. From the day we entered she took care of us like her own children. Very clean rooms, charming and all the facilities you need. Perfect location to all restaurants and activities. Literally walking distance. Thank you soo much for a memorable stay. I highly recommend booking this place, also great value for money.
