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.).

United KingdomPool area is extremely small and only a fraction of the pool gets the sun early. Only a few sunbeds which are old and broken. The stairs leading up to the balcony room are a death trap.
The views from the top of the hotel were out of this world. Excellent location aswell, right in the middle of Goreme, plenty of shops and restaurants within 2 minute walk. Staff were friendly and helpful. The balcony room was amazing.

This Hotel is Exceptional, we had the most amazing time staying here on a 3 night trip. We stayed in the balcony room and the views were breathtaking especially for the views of the hot air balloon’s. The staff are fantastic and really went out of their way to look after us. I would highly recommend staying here it was perfect.

United KingdomI had an absolutely amazing stay at Shoestring Cave Hotel in Cappadocia! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcomed and taken care of. My flight was delayed by several hours, but Omid went above and beyond to make sure I got to the hotel safely. He reassured me during the whole process and was incredibly kind when I finally arrived late at night. Knowing I hadn’t eaten in hours, he showed me where I could get food and shared so much useful information about Cappadocia—his help really made my trip stress-free. Another standout was Yalçın. After my incredible balloon ride, he was so helpful and even offered to take photos of me on the hotel’s rooftop. As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have captured those beautiful moments without his help! He was so kind and even introduced me to his adorable cat, which added a warm, personal touch to the experience. The hotel itself was stunning. My room was comfortable and beautifully designed, the facilities were top-notch, and the breakfast was just superb—such a vast selection of hot and cold food, along with various juices to choose from. Every part of my stay exceeded expectations. I 100% recommend Shoestring Cave Hotel, especially for solo travelers. The staff really go the extra mile to make your stay unforgettable!

United KingdomI think we stayed in the cheapest room admittedly, but It wasn’t that nice and the bed wasn’t too comfy but still very manageable. The pool isn’t great, albeit there are nice views of Goreme from the bar next to it.
The staff really made it. They’re really attentive and very helpful. They sorted all of the trips for us. A special shout out for their integrity as we pre booked the balloon and they made sure we got an €80 refund as the price changed. The structure of the hotel is fantastic and across about 3-4 floors. All very open with great views. Their terrace gives brilliant views of Goreme and of the balloons. Location is excellent.

United KingdomCouldn’t fault anything
This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We booked the balcony room and I couldn’t recommend it more, the view of the hot air balloons every morning was unmatched. The hotel has so many terraces for viewing the balloons aswell if you don’t have a balcony in your room. The pool was great, and always had sun beds available. The location was amazing, in the centre of goreme, the landscapes are amazing and you have a great view of these from all over the hotel. The staff were the friendliest we have ever encountered, they were so helpful, and always there to answer any questions. The breakfast was really good also, the bar had a good range of food too. This was honestly a once in a lifetime holiday in a bucket list destination, and the hotel just made the stay perfect.

AustraliaNothing really. We love this hotel :). I guess the only thing is rooms that are built into caves at these unique cave hotels inevitably have very little ventilation. The room we stayed in only had one window so it got that damp smell the whole time, but it isn't something you can fix if you want to stay in cave rooms. If you're sensitive to smells, perhaps request a room with more than one window, which seems to be located at the very top.
Location, very close to Cappadocia downtown. A great friendly travel agent right next to it. Uniqueness, very beautiful setting and a great rooftop spot to watch the balloons in the morning. Having a pool was amazing especially in the hot summer.

PhilippinesThe cave house sealed our Cappadocia dreamy experience. Location was perfect to take a lazy stroll to the town center of Goreme and the balcony was just right on to see the balloons in the morning. Our room gave us that cave feel but with the comforts of a hotel. Super love this cave house.

Sleeping in a cave suite was an unforgettable experience and exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotel’s location was perfect, close to restaurants, shops and points of interest. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a great variety of options to suit all tastes. Staying at this hotel added an extra layer of magic to our visit to Cappadocia. If you are looking for a truly unique, comfortable, and memorable experience that reflects the spirit of this extraordinary place, I highly recommend staying here. It’s an experience unlike any other!
