Babili Cappadocia Cave Hotel

Cave hotel, beautiful place, beautiful staff Good hosts I recommend!

Overall a very pleasant stay at Babili. The room was clean, spacious, and all facilities worked well. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the included breakfast was a nice touch — varied and enjoyable. The location works well practically, with Red Tour, Green Tour, and Hot Air Balloon pickups all covered. What we appreciated more, though, was being nestled in a genuine village rather than a busy tourist strip — the local Pera Cafe/Bistro owner and the staff at the nearby Kayseri pide & lahmacun bakery were warm and welcoming, adding a charming local flavour to the stay. A good, comfortable base for exploring Cappadocia. Highly recommend. None.

We liked the calm of the neighborhood, the warm welcome of the staff, the good local breakfast. Ahmet and his family were helpful in everything we needed. If you want to be closer to Museum in Open Air, then this is not a place for you - stay in Goreme instead, where there is more restaurants, shops, etc. But if you want to have a taste of the local life, the come to Nar. The hotel has something of a cave. The stairs - but Ahmet was always there to help with the bags, so, it was not a problem.

Nothing

Interesting design. The room really looked like a cave. Good breakfast.

My room was clean and comfortable, and I found its “cave style” really cool. The hosts of the hotel were very friendly and kind. Even though they didn’t speak much English, they always tried to help in every situation, which I really appreciated. The breakfast was also good. It wasn’t a buffet-style breakfast, but it was tasty and enough. It included menemen, cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, French fries, bread, jam, and of course, Turkish tea. All in all, I can recommend this place, it’s a good choice for a reasonable price. You can easily reach Cappadocia by minibus from Nevsehir; it takes around 20–30 minutes. I might come back here again. As for the "downsides", there are only a few minor things. First, it would have been great if my room had an electric kettle, perhaps other rooms include one. Second, breakfast starts only at 8:30, which is quite late considering that if you want to visit Cappadocia, you sometimes have to start your journey quite early. Lastly, the location of the hotel is a bit tricky. For example, if you want to go to the bus station where the minibuses to Cappadocia depart (at Forum Shopping Mall, about a 10–15 minute walk from the hotel), you have to cross a highway. Even though there is a pedestrian crossing, you need to be very careful, as cars drive quite fast. If you have large luggage or want to reach another part of the city (such as the main intercity bus terminal or the airport), it’s better to use a taxi or a transfer offered by the hotel. However, all in all, it is a great hotel! As I mentioned before, I might come back here again.

Very neat and clean. Staffs were extremely cooperative. Best for family and solo travellers. All good.

For the value, I think this hotel cannot be beat. The room's aesthetics are great and match the cave rooms of other hotels in the area. The host was also very friendly and we were able to communicate using Google translate. There was also a cat who lived in the hotel and she was super cute and snuggly! A couple things we noticed were off with our room: the lighting in the washroom was poor and my partner said it was difficult to do her makeup properly. The sink was also slightly unbalanced so there was some water pooling on one side of the sink. Our bed covers were a bit uncomfortable and itchy but I didn't personally mind. Lastly, the showerhead was held by a very weak connector so when the water was on, the showerhead would consistently point too high. Overall, these are very minor criticisms and I would stay again especially considering the great price.

This was our final night in Turkey before an early morning flight. Since there is no "airport hotel" at NAV, we were looking for convenience with color. This hotel was perfect. The room had so much cave-like personality, but large and comfortable. The owner was SO friendly and helpful, and his wife prepared a delicious dinner at a reasonable price. We missed breakfast due to the early flight, but they prepared a nice cheese sandwich for us to take. The drive to NAV was an easy 25 minutes at 6:45 am. While a little farther away from the big tourist sites, this hotel would make a good alternative to Goreme or Uchisar (where we stayed earlier) if you have a car. Nothing!

Friendly hosts Most amazing breakfast on our whole Turkey trip With the current heatwave it becomes a little tough without AC or a fan in the room. If you have the room under the dining area you will be affected by noise from above. (The owner resolved this quickly when we asked about it)

The property is owned by a family, they are so caring and friendly. And very loving people.

Charming accommodation in a cave like setting, hospitable hosts that were most welcoming

Beautiful rooms and design! Clean and nice people running the business! Far from Cappadocia! Isolated. You will need to rent a car if you stay here!

Very good

Very peaceful and calm location Nothing in particular but absence of nearby market may not be liked by all.

Turskish-specific breakfast. Nice rooms and warm inside (end of november). Clean and cozy appartment. Very nice hosts. Parking available in front. A bit far to the centre. Very few restaurants at walking distance.

The room was okay , bit closure to the bus stop but about 30 mins away from Goreme where all the attractions are at. I didnt have a good experience here . The room was tiny and the bathroom didn’t have a proper drainage system I had to call the cleaners to drain water . The toilet seat was broken and that was fixed during my stay but not the drainage. There was an issue with booking red tour with them for which I paid 83 USD but didn’t get to see any attraction just pigeon valley , pottery class, jewellery shop . When asked the tour agent spoke only in Turkish and though I bought the tour from the hotel they didn’t show respect just deleted all WhatsApp messages and smoked in my face at the entrance of my room . This was disrespectful and total scam . Lesson learnt for me is not to pay in advance to tours from the hotel . They even refused to share the tour operator name or company name . Be aware .

Superb

It was good value, owner was polite and friendly. Clean and neat ! There is nothing that I didn’t like. Just be careful staying in a cave room for more than two nights .. this is for all cave rooms .. it doesn’t have windows and can become depressing

Exceptional
