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.).

AustraliaOur stay at Arif couldn’t have been better. Arguably the best located hotel in Goreme for views and ambiance, and our cave room was very romantic. The staff were also as good as it gets; helpful, friendly and never let us leave breakfast with an empty stomach. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Cappadocia.

AustraliaNothing to not like, it is a must stay when in Cappadocia.
This was an amazing stay. The view, the service, the breakfast, the hospitality were all exceptional. Han and the team made us feel at home and well looked after. We arrived early/before our room was ready but they were already so accomodating to us and other guests who were in the same situation, providing welcome drinks and early check-in once our rooms were ready. The view from the breakfast terrace was incredible! It was the best view of Goreme and the balloons. Our room was spacious and clean, with the highest balcony in Goreme and like the breakfast terrace, it had an incredible view of town and the balloons. Special shout out to Han who was very helpful, providing us with all the information we needed about the town and surrounding attractions, and gave us plentiful recommedations of everything we needed, from food recommendations to local guides.

RomaniaIf we return to Goreme, we will defintely book rooms to Arif Cave Hotel again. Located right below the Goreme Sunset Point, the hotel is clean and very beautiful. The view from the hotel is mesmerizing and there also are some great photo spots, with traditional decor. The staff was extraordinary. They welcomed us with turkish coffee and spent a lot of time giving us more details about the region and about the available tours. We really appreciated that we have received honest recommendations and opinions on the tours. Later, they booked the tours we chose for us. Also, as we arrived by car, even if the hotel does not have parking facilities, the staff happily helped us find a good parking spot. Last but not least, the breakfast is to be mentioned. It mainly was a traditional hot breakfast, freshly cooked for us, and very, very tasty.

SwitzerlandThis hotel is amazing, one of the best one we have been. The location, the view, the staff, the room, everything is perfect. Located at the highest point of Goreme, you cannot dream of a better view. A special thanks to Han who was attentive to our every need, he knows exactly what is nice to do around and he can arrange it for you. We felt like home there, we went to other hotels in Goreme but this one is by far the best you can find.

We booked Panaromic Cave Room. It cost a bit more. But it is higtest hotel room in town. It has grate view. The bed is comfortable. The room design like atrs. The manager Hon. Staff Hanifi and Qwner Ahmet are very nice. They are warmest host we had for whole trip. The breakfast is another highlight. They offer too much food and we are barely to finish them. After we just finish all food, they offer Turkeish coffee and Baklava. On last day we have to leave early to catch flight. They start earlier to make sure we can have breakfast before we leave. Breakfast is 8:00 am to 11:00 am. We had breakfast at 7:40 am on day we leave.

The property is perfect. An amazing view from the top and from the room. You can see all of Goreme from the rooftop area. Perfect location and so close to the sunset panorama point. We arrived early and they let us check in early. Han was so helpful in recommending what to do whilst in Cappadocia. He organised everything for us including tours and horse riding trips which were all excellent. He organised a shuttle to collect us and take us back to the airport. The breakfast is amazing and set us up perfectly for the day. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend enough. I will definitely be coming back to stay here again!

United StatesWe loved everything about this property. It was charming, comfortable, and situated with the best view of Cappadocia. Just sitting on the terrace was good enough for us. But the best part of our stay there was the staff. Ahmet, Han, and Hanafi took such great care of us even before we arrived. They reached out to us prior to our stay and made sure we have transportation to get to the property and made arrangements for us to get there. We did not have an itinerary for our time in Cappadocia, and they were so helpful in making suggestions and booking tours, etc for us. The breakfast every morning was so good and definitely a highlight of the stay. But honestly, the best part of our stay at Arif Cave Hotel was that we were treated like family. We didn’t feel like visitors. The generosity, and hospitality of the staff was unbelievable. Thank you Ahmet, Han, and Hanafi, and the rest of the team.

United StatesEverything was truly wonderful. The only thing I would change: The standard drip coffee offered at breakfast time, wasn't as super as everything else. They do offer espresso as well; but might need a little more practice at the machine, or just better coffee beans. They deserve 100 stars for pure heart and desire to please ❤
Arif Cave Hotel has an excellent staff: they are professional, friendly and helpful. The panoramic room was very clean and comfortable, with great views of the valley and hot air balloons. The included breakfast buffet has something for everyone. The staff is attentive and generous. They will not stop trying to feed you! All of them are very sweet, and we would happily return to this place.
