Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

It's was just amazing in every way. Our host, Aygül, was incredibly experienced and attentive, always welcoming us with a smile, and we felt at home immediately. Details: Great, fresh and abundant breakfast and a great view of Ortahisar's Castel from the terrace. The room was a REAL cave, beautiful, cosy, very private, chill, and clean. Good wi-fi, tv, and a fridge.

IrelandSince it’s a cave hotel ,it’s understandable that pieces of rock and dust keep falling . Not too great for people with asthma or chest issues . But for others , it’s no issue at all!
It’s a cosy place for a short stay in cappadochia . Ideally located few minutes drive from main Goreme town , this is a wonderful place to stay . The owner , Aygul, is the most gracious and friendly host ever ! She has a great sense of taste and has done up the cave room so beautifully and every detail is taken into consideration. She is very kind and always ready to help . You just have to ask her and she will do her best . Her pet , Coco was the cutest and we simply adored her ! We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful hotel and I highly recommend this place .

United Arab Emiratesjust a warning to tall people, my husband is 6 ft tall and he could not stand under the shower and the jacuzzi tub didnt seem to work. Since its a cave, little fragments of the cave kept falling around the room. in the bathroom into the tub. its to be expected if your staying in a cave i guess.
Room was excellent. Big enough for my family of 5 to stay comfortably for 3 days. Aygul served a very good breakfast both days we were there to eat and on our 3rd day when we had to check out early she gave us something to take on the road, which was very kind of her. She also helped to book us hot air balloons and ATV, which was a huge help.

AustriaThere was no single thing, that I could put as a comment here!
Amaizing personal (Mrs. Aygül), clean rooms, delicius and very rich and fresh breakfast. You can reach best (and cheapest) Shops in whole Cappadocia on foot right from hotel + amazing/adrenalin Ortahisar castle (entrance only 50TL for adults)! My recommendation to all, that are searching for vacation in Cappadocia! PS: Mrs. Aygül speaks fluently also English and Germain, so also our kids could speak with her on Germain language. In addition, she has many connections with activities in Cappadocia (e.g. ATV Quads, fly with baloon etc.) and can arrange best discounts and prices for her guests, especially for fly with a baloon!

QatarIt was an absolutely amazing experience. We enjoyed our lovely stay. We thank a lot to our host sister Eyegul. We stayed 3 nights with family including kids. Living in cave rooms was a unique experience itself. Host made it homely and convenient. Her hospitality was from heart and very passionate and kind. No words to speak about it. Breakfast was freshly made and superb. Our stay in Cappadocia in this property will always be remembered.

Room was beautiful with two additional camp beds as we are a family of five. Plentiful hot water and our girls enjoyed the jacquzzi bath. The host was so welcoming and arranged our Balloon tour for us as well. If we were around she would offer us tea and coffee and other local delights as well. We were able to park the rental car on the street just up from the hotel quite easily.

I have traveled quite a bit and been to about 40 countries. Aygul, the host is one of the best people you'd meet. She did above and beyond during our stay to make sure we're comfortable. She took us to the hot air balloon viewing at 4am with breakfast and coffee! She offered us coffee, teas and treats all day at no extra charge. Breakfast is delicious with homemade bread at the nice terrace. Her place is stunning with amazing views. The rooms are spacious and the bedding is very comfortable. Surprisingly, Wifi works well even in the cave rooms! 2 mininte walk to the taxi stand in the town with restaurants and shops and 5 minute taxi ride to Goreme or Uchisar.
