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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

CanadaThe lack of a restaurant on site or near the hotel is the sole drawback, given that the road down the "secret" hill is extremely narrow as well as steep. And it's at least a kilometre to walk down to the main street for take-out food, and at least twice as far, it seems, to climb that steep hill as it was to find a way down.
Secret Hill's location above the bustle and hustle of Goreme adds to its charm as one of the most beautiful hotels in the region, with both privacy and immediate access built into the architecture that flanks the central swimming pool. Guests waiting for an early morning check-in are welcomed at poolside with glasses of Turkish tea. Staff stop by to inquire if anything else is needed; even the manager approaches to introduce himself and his newly-opened hotel to his guests. At dawn on mornings when the wind allows, the sky is filled with hot-air balloons drifting across a landscape filled with fairy chimneys, much like the guest-rooms themselves which, from a point near the swimming pool, appear to float side-by-side above the landscape, while others tower above them, rising toward the light. And the magic extends beyond the landscape to the interior of the hotel. The bedrooms are unusually spacious, and many of the bathrooms boast a private jacuzzi. If Installers seem to have left out curtains on the large window above the jacuzzi, the image from outside of one's own face in the mirror leaves no doubt about the installers' use of one-way glass. As for other amenities, the wifi is ultra-high speed, and the flat-screen television offers global streaming services, provided that one has brought one's passwords from home. Finally, breakfast in the glass-walled room next to the swimming pool is as inviting as the pool itself, with a wide array of Turkish fruits and baking, as well as freshly-squeezed orange juice and a variety of coffees available from a machine as up-to-date as anything in Europe.

JerseyIt is a little bit further out than some other hotels (only a few minutes walk) and up a very steep hill but it was well worth it for the views.
The hotel was very clean, staff were very nice and it has amazing views. I would highly recommend staying here. The breakfast was lovely, everything was fresh and they have a wood burning fire in the restaurant for when it is cold. Beautiful hotel.

We booked one night because we've arrived ahead of schedule meeting our family in Cappadocia. Arif and staff were very accommodating and even helped us with everything we needed. They helped us moved to the next door hotel which was booked by my brother in law. Our stay was incredible! The room was amazing – spacious, clean, and very comfortable. But the highlight was definitely the view, which exceeded all our expectations! Waking up to that stunning scenery was a real treat. The hot air ballon view in our room experience was fantastic, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay here and would highly recommend! The location was brilliant as it was just a five minute walk to the shops and restaurants. It was also a great for watching the balloons from the terrace. We did this one morning, and another morning we walked to the viewpoint only 10 minutes away. We also walked to the viewpoint at night and would recommend this also as the views were amazing. The hotel contacted us before the trip and arranged our excursions, including the hot air balloon, red and green tour and the ARV evening. We would highly recommend all of these trips. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, and made us feel at home. The pool was lovely for relaxing in the day after the early morning starts. This holiday was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

United StatesEvery was great. On a hill, lots of stairs, no elevator. But this is the way capadoccia is and the staff helps with the luggage. No issues.
Fantastic hotel. Arif is the best at Customer service. Wonderful young man and so helpful. We will come back solely because of him. Breakfast was great. Huge selection of local dishes. Eggs to order. Great view of the city. We loved everything and highly recommend this hotel! Don’t come unless you do the balloon ride. Plan 3 days in case they cancel due to weather. Seems pretty common for canc. The two tours offered throughout the city, red and green, you should look into carefully. We did the green and it was basically a shopping tour. One great underground town. The end was a spice/ food shop and was good. The rest wasn’t much. Do not recommend it.

United StatesMy one complaint was I was given no indication that the extras we booked (balloon, etc...) while arranged by the hotel had to be paid in cash. We very nearly weren't able to come up with the cash. For US travelers and likely others, we tend to pay everything with credit cards. Somehow, we had to find cash on our last night of our vacation. Very stressful, and I still don't know how we arranged it. You need to tell guest in advance, in BOLD if cash is needed for payment.
Is was good. Not great. We ate there in the mornings, but it was not a highlight of the stay. I think it could be better with more hot options, fresher pastries/bread with more options. A few more traditional items Overall, no real complaints...just not exceptional.

This hotel really deserves all the great reviews it’s getting. We came here for a three-night-stay and will come back for sure. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful, breakfast was very good and the view is absolutely stunning. But what sealed the deal for us was the extremely friendly personnel! They were all so genuinely respectful, patient, accommodating and nice. Even the reception stayed in contact with us via Whatsapp 24/7 to answer questions, organize tours or just to wish us a beautiful day - it was a joy to stay here. We also met the super friendly owner who joined us at our breakfast table to have a nice little chat. We would absolutely recommend Secret Hill Cave Hotel to everyone who wants have an unforgettable stay in Cappadocia!

United KingdomWe had such a fantastic stay at Secret Hill Suites in Göreme! Aruf and İlayda were incredibly helpful throughout our visit, assisting us with everything from arranging activities like the highly recommended ATV tour, to booking a relaxing massage at a local spa, and organising a Turkish dinner evening. Their hospitality was outstanding—they even helped with laundry and allowed us a late checkout, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The room was just as pictured—clean, cosy, and perfect for our stay. The hotel's location is ideal, situated on a quiet street but still very close to the centre of Göreme. It’s also just a short walk to the tallest viewpoint, which made it easy to enjoy those stunning Cappadocia views. Overall, we loved our stay at Secret Hill Suites, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Göreme!

RomaniaWe arrived to the hotel on a Tuesday and in the evening there was a wedding held right next to our rooms. The music was very loud, but I asked the staff about when do they usually end the events and at 11 pm it was finished, so all good.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. I recommend asking about Ilayda, I have never seen someone so devoted and committed to make your stay perfect, from the accommodation to dinner reservations and activities/places to visit! The rooms were clean and spacious and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and loved the convenient location close to major attractions.
