How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAmazing staff - their approach to clients, help and care! Booked a balloon flight through them, for a perfect price. The cave room was fantastic also, enough space to accomodate the family. Comfy beds and armchairs - great relax. Tasty traditional breakfast, wide selection. Perfectly located not far from other cave hotels, restaurants and shops.
The bathroom would need some small repairs after the season, but was functional and clean. Would prefer a nice garden or courtyard instead of the rooftop restaurant:)

The staff was kind, helpful and on top of things. Their cute puppy was a hit with the kids:) breakfast was amazing!!!
I wish I had known that there was live music playing till midnight, it was not unpleasant music thankfully.. but still it was to fall asleep. This is common for places all over Goreme.

Verified reviewOh my word! Location is fantastic. The breakfast was superb - lots of variety and delicious. The rooms themselves were spacious, authentic caves with comfortable beds and more than enough space. We had a family room with two queen beds and never felt cramped. The hotel is family run and Ali and his family were amazing hosts who arranged all our tours and outings. All round one of the most special places we’ve stayed in.

Verified reviewLoved the view from the terrace which was just outside our room. Great place to enjoy the sunset and night panoramic view of Goreme. Room was cozy and offered good nights’ rest. Location offers many options for dining. Cannot have enough of the hot Turkish pancake for breakfast. Nightly music from the bar below was well insulated which did not disturb our sleep. Staff was helpful with our luggage up the stairs to room.

And Asena is especially close to our hearts😃Cappadocia is a dream, and Goreme is like a fairy tale. The hotel is very well located, 5 minutes from the center. It also has a wonderful terrace from which you can see the whole of Goreme. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

Verified reviewThe hotel is perfectly located, very close to the main viewpoints to watch the hot air balloons at sunrise, as well as restaurants and shops in Göreme. The hotel preserves the authentic and traditional style of the region, with comfortable and beautifully decorated rooms. The breakfast is good and varied. , the atmosphere created by the father and son who run the hotel is truly unbeatable: they were extremely kind.
One evening, there was a temporary water outage, but it was resolved early the next morning. Additionally, there was a slight musty smell in the room.

Verified reviewIt was interesting experience to live in real cave and we really enjoyed jacuzzi in the cave. The location of hotel is perfect: very close to city center and view point. Unfortunately, the weather was bad during our visit, so we enjoyed the beautiful views of Goreme and modelling snowmen on the terrace, rather than the views of the balloons :) The staff was very welcoming. They booked the balloon flight for us and some trips. At first glance, the breakfast seemed modest, but then it turned out that there was everything to get a good boost before a busy day of activities. If we will have chance to back to Goreme one day we would like to stay in Sunset Cave again.

Verified review1. Beautiful view from the room terraces. 2. The manager continues to use the microwave in the kitchen (this was not provided for by the hotel service). 3. In general, a dietary breakfast of the "buffet" type (someone will call it monotonous and meager) But for me it was a plus. I did not rate it higher mainly because of the staff's disdainful attitude towards my problem when I fell ill. It was the height of cynicism, indifference, formalism and a rude commercial approach to the client.
1. On the second-to-last day of our stay, I caught a cold. On the last day (the day of departure), I sat in the hotel lobby for two hours with a fever of 38.7°C, waiting for my transfer. No one even offered me a glass of water, let alone tea or—perhaps as a gesture of hospitality—a free room for a couple of hours so I could lie down. (I understand this is not standard practice, and the hotel was not obliged to do so.) The manager knew I was sick, knew I had a high fever, and they had vacant rooms—but he simply didn’t care. It felt like, once our stay was over, they no longer knew us or had anything to do with us. 2. The apartment was quite dirty. I understand it’s a cave-style accommodation, but surely, the walls and ceiling should be vacuumed occasionally to remove cobwebs, and the bathroom surfaces should be treated against mold. 3. The room was cold. The air conditioner didn’t work properly for heating—it kept turning off on its own. The manager tried to "fix" it, but nothing worked. Calling a technician? No, that wasn’t even considered. I had to keep checking and restarting the air conditioner myself. To be fair, the manager did bring an old heater from storage. But it was so dirty and dusty that my wife and I had to clean it for about an hour instead of relaxing. The manager saw the state of the heater but didn’t offer any help in cleaning it. 4. In general, the service is a topic in itself. I’ll give just one example: on the first evening, I left a dirty towel outside the door so the staff could take it. The towel remained there the entire next day. The morning after that, when we left the room, it was still there. Only in the evening, when we returned, was it finally gone. And this was the case with everything. 5. The shower cabin was leaking. 6.Instead of a proper socket, an extension cord was hanging from the wall. One socket had no cover, with exposed wires sticking out. Another socket was loose and falling out.
