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.).

AustraliaWe needed more lighting in the rooms, especially by the bed for reading. We discovered the main room was missing a central pendant and think that contributed to the feeling of being dark. The bathroom too needed more lighting and ideally the mirror being positioned a little higher but that’s being picky.
It’s very pretty, nestled in a fairy castle/cave, the pool was lovely and the ample number of lounge chairs and umbrellas was great. Very well located to the restaurants and shops in the town. Rooms were a good size and well equipped

United StatesReally cannot think of a thing we'd change.
Beautiful pool, surrounding rocks, and terraced levels made this hotel magical. Our cave room had a window, which was nice, since not all cave rooms in town do. Large bathroom and we were served an amazing breakfast. Our self-booked balloon ride was canceled due to wind, but staff found us a ride the next day with a different company, literally 30% cheaper than the refunded ride! And the hotel is near the main sunset viewpoint, definitely worth visiting at least once..

AustraliaThey should have a drink bar even if it’s soft drinks and beer especially if you’re around the pool all afternoon. They are missing opportunities to expand a little.
Breakfast was from 8.30 and was a Turkish breakfast however there was way too much. I think to reduce waste they could have a buffet style and you could just choose what you’d like to eat. You could order an omelette which was really nice but could have had cheese and chopped tomatoes to make it elevated.

United StatesI recommend staying in a room at the pool level or higher so you can have a little more of a view. Staying in a "cave" can feel a little claustrophic if you used to lots of windows and light.
This was our second time staying at this location, the first time being back in 2009. The ownership appears to have changed, as has all of Goreme, but we really liked this hotel. It is up a small hill and pretty central to the main strip and also you can walk up higher to access other restaurants and a viewpoint (I'm glad we didn't stay up higher). The pool was a great feature and we would spend most of the hot hours of the day at the pool and head out later in the afternoon. Most of Cappadocia is lot more low key and casual than Istanbul, so you won't find luxury, but we loved the features in our room, including the nuts, fruit and teas made available to us. The staff were also friendly, though a bit quiet. We even forgot our check out time the day we were leaving and were just relaxing by the pool and ended up staying an extra hour by accident, but even when I offered to pay they were kind and not upset. The very generous Turkish breakfast was another highlight! We felt so bad not being able to finish all the yummy food they would give us every day. I hope to be back here one day.

Really nice hotel with beautiful cave rooms and refreshing pool incl. free pool towels. Lovely and attentive personnel. Large variety of different Turkish foods (from honey, Nutella and jelly, olives, cheeses to melon, bread, cake, cheese rolls and eggs) for breakfast. We also loved the original Turkish table setup. Very comfy bed! Firm but soft on the surface.

AustraliaWe had an amazing stay at this hotel! The highlight was definitely the beautiful pool — crystal clear water, perfect temperature, and plenty of comfortable loungers around. It was such a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The pool area was always clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere felt peaceful yet welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure guests had everything they needed. Overall, it was a perfect combination of comfort, great amenities, and top-notch service. I can’t wait to come back!

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing we didn’t like!! Except for having to leave 🥲
We had the most incredible stay at The Local Cave Hotel in Cappadocia! ✨ From the moment we booked, communication with the team was effortless – they were so responsive and helpful in answering our questions before arrival. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautiful facilities and the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in while travelling. We woke up each morning to a delicious, fresh breakfast that was truly a highlight of our trip. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our stay special – their hospitality made us feel so welcome and at home. This was honestly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and I couldn’t recommend The Local Cave Hotel enough to anyone visiting Cappadocia. We can’t wait to come back! ❤️

This hotel is like a dream, it is so stunning. The rooms are beyond gorgeous, the swimming pool, grounds & views are magic. Waking up early & seeing the hot air balloons nearly on top of you was just incredible. Then there was the full Turkish breakfast each morning, which was delicious. On top of all this, very friendly & helpful staff. Highly, highly recommend.
