We got so sick from the toxic mold in the hotel room. It’s such a cute hotel but this is a really big problem there, as most of the rooms smell like mold and mildew, but ours was especially moldy and had visible signs of mold inside the bathroom cabinet, on the ceiling, and on the walls. We suffered from flu-like symptoms due to the mold, and repeatedly felt a lot better as soon as we left the hotel and were out in the fresh air for some time. We brought our concerns to the attention of the hotel owner, but he refused to let us check out early and receive a refund. Really not a good experience for us. Aside from the mold, there was trash around the outside of the hotel, and the noise late at night and early morning kept waking us up. We do not recommend this hotel to others until the owner makes some much-needed improvements.

The property was convenient for our trip. We slept well and the bathroom was spacious. Bathroom towels were a bit torn and the bed cover had a hole. When bathrooms are used in other areas, the pipes make a long whistling sound. Overall a good stay but the experience for future guests can be improved.

The room was beautiful and very comfortable, temperature was nicely warm. The shower was nice but it sprayed water through the hose. Wi-Fi was sometimes unstable. Breakfast was great. In general it was an amazing stay; however, although all the staff was incredibly nice, the manager tries hard to sell you their tours - he even gave us wrong information (for example, he told us it was impossible to get to the underground cities by public transports; we ended up taking a public bus there which was super easy!)

Disappointing

If you’re considering booking here, I strongly advise against it. The balcony rooms offer disappointing views of a dumpster lot. It defies the purpose of pretty hot air balloons pictures. Additionally, I don’t recommend booking any tours through their concierge; we had a negative experience with inflated prices. For example, the Turkish dinner was priced at 75 euros here, while it was only 40 euros elsewhere. The same discrepancy applied to the red tour, which they quoted at 100 euros, whereas we found it for 50 euros elsewhere. We lost money here. I guess is part of the experience. The breakfast was subpar, with cold and greasy food, and our room had a moldy shower and a lingering smell of smoke despite being designated as smoke-free. I urge you to explore other accommodation options for a more enjoyable stay.

The room was very cold. Upon several warning the heat is increased a little bit. The heating system was shutof after midnight completely for natural gas saving (!!!) The bathroom has many problems. The sink was blocked. the dirty water was not draining away. The shower tap was totally broken. The water was gushing out from the joints and the hose. The window in bathroom was not being closed properly. One of the head light of the bed was very dangerous due to electric leakage. I had a smal shock.

Clean, nice staff but office attitude needs work

The place is comfortable and reasonably well located. The breakfast, chef and cleaning staff were very good and attentive. Be careful not to confuse hotels - there is the Shoestring CAVE house and the, separate, Shoestring Stone house. At a guess the stone house may have been named to pick up confused bookings from the cave house. It also confused the local tour and balloon operators we dealt with so …. The only real blight on the stay was our effort to have some laundry done. The sign on our room said 120 TL to wash. The first person in the office said they don’t do washing; the second one said they do, but it costs 200TL and the sign is old. We paid the 200Tl (washed and dried). It can back wet, although some effort to dry it was apparent; we took it back to have it dried and again it came back wet (although drier). We took draped it around as best we could to dry it. When we mentioned it on the way out, we were told (at first) that it was dry and we couldn’t tell because it might have been warm, then it was ‘okay, some of it is wet but not all of it, etc etc. Only an incident, but says a lot about the attitude in the front office. We’re it not for the employed staff this rating would have been more severe.

From the moment I booked our 2 rooms at this hotel, the manager kept in touch with me to ensure our arrival and stay in Goreme had a smooth transition and start to a wonderful vacation! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and accomodated our every need. We had an issue with our sink filling up, but they were able to fix it relatively quickly. The location of this hotel is great! Theres plenty of shopping right up the hill, and all the attractions with tours can pick you up right at the door of this hotel because of how central it is! Buffet breakfast was great! The manager even gave us to-go breakfast sandwiches and juiceboxes to eat on our way back to the airport, which was such a thoughtful touch to our overall stay at Shoestring Stone House! I would book this place again in the future.

Fiyat performans oteli, oda ve banyo tasarımında taş ve ahşap görünüm hakim. Temiz bir otel, odalarda kocaman banyolar var. Manzara ve konum kötü ancak buna işletmecinin yapabileceği çok bir şey yok. Düşününce uygun fiyatlı olmasının sebebi de bu diyorsunuz. Konumu Göreme'nin popüler dar sokaklı yeri olmayınca park yeri sorunu da yaşamıyorsunuz. Aynı isimli ShoeString Cave House ile karıştırmayın. O mağaralar bölgesinde doğal olarak daha iyi bir manzaraya ve iki katı fiyata sahip. Kahvaltının özel bir yanı olmamasına rağmen, doyurucu ve yeterliydi. Tam bir kaliteli gezgin hosteli gibi düşünün. Sabah karnımı doyurup çıkarım, gece yatana kadar dışarıda vakit geçiririm gecede gelirim yatarım otelde vakit geçirmeye ihtiyacım yok diyorsanız, çok ideal bir yer. Ama manzara, biraz lüks, otelde de uzun vakit geçireceğim güzel anılar istiyorum diyorsanız farklı yerler öneririm. Ben uzun bir yolculukta mola vermek ve etrafı gezmek için 1 Günlük konaklayıcı olarak kaldım. Genel olarak memnun kaldım beklentimi ve ihtiyaçlarımı karşıladı.
