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 KingdomNothing. Everything was great
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Location was right in the centre of everything. Walking distance to the shops snd restaurants. Perfect views from the terrace and of the hot air balloons. Thank yiu to the manager Malik and his staff for being an amazing host. We would definitely go back there again and recommend this hotel to anyone else.

United Arab EmiratesIf I have to nitpick - couple of suggestions 1. The hotel is located in a hill slope, which requires some climbing. Although there is a car park area which is closer to the rooms , typically the cab service either don’t use it or are not aware about it. 2. We booked green tour through the hotel. While the tour was fantastic, we were told by the hotel that it will be with maximum 8 people.. while we had the tour with 18 people!! So either the hotel has no control on the outsourced tour agency ( which shouldn’t be the case) or they were not transparent. They should be clear in the communication to avoid any expectation mismatch Again these two points are very minor, otherwise would highly recommend this property!
The ambience, rooms, the view, locality, the staff and their behavior. Everything was top notch!

AustraliaThe only negative was that it rained for a few days while I was there, so unfortunately, they had to pack up the pillows and rooftop set up. I would have loved to make more use of that space and take some photos, but oh well! You can't control the weather... and I still got some nice ones on the balcony. Walking up to Sunrise Point was also a good plan B.
This place was the best!!! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome and at home. The staff were so friendly, helpful and fun! Nothing was too much trouble. They organised my transfers, tours, everything. Breakfast was included and there was also a brand new pool that I made use of. My room also got upgraded thanks to Booking.com, so I had my own Jacuzzi! There are also a couple of super friendly dogs that reside at the property. The location was excellent, walking distance to many great restaurants and shops - a great hub of activity and I felt very safe even walking around at night. For a great photo backdrop, make sure you pay a visit to Galerie Ikman (check them out on insta). It is also very close to Sunrise Point (10min walk?) - which I highly recommend to see the balloons (20TRY entrance fee, about $1AUD). You can also see the balloons from the rooftop and they have a lovely set up too. If you can afford to do the balloon ride YOU HAVE TO DO IT!! One of the most magical experiences of my life!!! Make sure you book for the first day of your trip because the balloons dont always fly (very weather dependant). My time at Secret Hill has been the highlight of my trip so far!! Thank you!!

PortugalIn reality, there is nothing that we can say we didn't like. Not staying longer, for sure.
We loved this experience. The room was exactly as per the photos. Service was outstanding, everyone very friendly and available to help you. Reception is available 24h per day. Malik, the manager help us to book the Balloon fly, I specifically asked to do it in our wedding anniversary day and he managed it. They proposed several options like private tour, Turkish dinner, shared tours, etc. We could choose what we would like. I asked for a cocktail just saying if I like more or less sweet and Malik was spot on. I strongly recommend this place.

United KingdomThe uphill walk but can’t really complain about that!
The property is really nice and is nestled in the rocks and therefore gives a great experience. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms well equipped. The staff helped with our excursions (hot air balloon, horse riding, airport transfers) and we didn’t have to worry.

FranceThe only suggestion I would make is that breakfast be served earlier than 8:30-10:30. Many guests have long drives in the morning to catch planes and starting that long day with breakfast (that is included in the price of the room) would be really nice. Most hotels offer breakfast starting 7:00-7:30. Just a suggestion, since the drive to either nearby airport is pretty long and the regional airports have nothing to offer.
The cave hotel experience is truly amazing. Secret Hills is a jewel among those. It is authentic, elegant, and well positioned in the World Heritage site area in Cappadocia. There is nothing pretentious or out of place at this remarkable complex, and yet, the suites are divine by any era or any country's standards. The lovely cats and dogs that cohabitate the setting, (typical in much of Turkey), is another treat. It's all part of the magic! Like the hot-air balloons that sweep by the Secret Hills terraces in early morning. Breakfast is very nice, Turkish style. Secret Hill Caves makes you feel at home....in another world.

BelgiumIt was my first time in Turkey and for the first part of our trip we stayed at Secret Cave Suites. This is a small luxury hotel with incredibly friendly staff. They take care of you for every step of the way. Breakfast was amazing, everything was freshly made and it was a mix of local and international things. Staff helped us to pick out trips and they were very enjoyable and not too expensive. Everything was clean and new. The views were amazing.

The room was large and clean. The jacuzzi on the balcony now has a sun canopy which was nice. Got to see the balloons from the room. It's up a hill (as the name suggests) but made for a very quiet location. The bed was massive and comfortable. The two dogs were cute!

AustraliaWe had the pleasure of staying at Secret Hill Suites for three nights in May, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location, just a short distance from Göreme, was ideal for exploring the area. The breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a delightful variety of Turkish and continental options, along with a selection of teas and an automatic coffee machine to kickstart the day. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the rooftop, which offered a breathtaking view of the hot air balloons floating gracefully in the morning sky. A special mention goes to Puyas and Arif, whose exceptional hospitality truly enhanced our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, assisting us with transfers, organizing tours, and providing valuable recommendations. Their dedication and kindness made all the difference, and we can't thank them enough.
