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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesMy husband and I visited Turkey for the first time, and we fell in love with Cappadocia. The Arif Cave Hotel exceeded all of our expectations. The views were terrific, with five fantastic rooftop nook areas for amazing pictures. The staff were so kind, and we truly enjoyed talking to them. The cave room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. The walk from the hotel to the restaurant and shops was easy, and we enjoyed it. They offer a cold breakfast buffet and a la carte for the hot food. We can’t recommend the Arif Cave Hotel enough! You will be in for a great experience.

RomaniaEverything was amazing. The hotel looked perfect and had a great view. In the morning, you can see the balloons from the hotel terrace, while at night you can see the city lights. The breakfast was freshly made with a big variety and tastes great.The owner was very friendly and helped with anything you could need. We left pretty early, and they offered to prepare some sandwiches if we wanted, which was really nice. The room looked better than the pictures and was very clean. It was also bigger than I expected.

First of all the owners (Betty) were very helpful before we reached the location in helping organize our trip properly and in clearing all the doubts. Secondly all the staff were so helpful and welcoming with their hospitality. Han was super helpful with all day to day stuffs at hotel. The location is probably the best location you can have from where you can see the hot air balloon flying properly. If you are in cappadocia this is the hotel to stay at. The best probably. Enjoyed our stay at the cave hotel as it felt different from our normal stay

New ZealandWe had an incredible stay at the Arif Cave Hotel. It has the best view of the hot air balloons rising over Goreme! It is a truly spectacular sight and the hotel offers plenty of viewing spots to choose from. We stayed in the original cave room and it was the most magical space we have ever stayed (and we travel a lot!) The carved stone, the warm lighting, a comfortable bed, amazing shower, and our own personal balcony overlooking the balloons - it was a stay I will never forget. I’d like to give special thanks to Han who looked after us for our stay - he helped organise our entire itinerary for us, gave us incredible restaurant recommendations, helped organise transport for us and was always available to help - he even made sure we had a packed breakfast to take with us on our day of departure since we had an early flight! Impeccable service and I’ll be sure to recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone.

MalaysiaVery clean and spacious room. The balcony given have the best view of town and hot air balloon can be watch directly from your room. The panorama view of goreme also located just up the hill of the road make it easier to watch sunrise and sunset. Decided to go last minute green tour and lengthen our stay for night. Green tour guided by Mr Bayram are recommended as he guide us through out the day pack with the knowlege of historical places in goreme. The hotel staff able to provide us with everything we need. Even better we were given some souvenir at the of our stay.
