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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

JamaicaThe staff gave us such a warm welcome after a very long journey, and were so lovely with my four small children. The room felt like an authentic cave room and was very warm with comfortable beds and a hamam bath. Breaskfast was huge and delicious! There were lots of people around to help with arranging tours and trips and the children really enjoyed climbing the rocks to the church and cafe opposite the hotel.

IndiaThe location is a little away from Goreme..which is the happening part of Cappadocia. But then this hotel is in a quiet and not too crowded location which makes it better if you are looking for a peaceful stay.
The Cave rooms were awesome. We felt very cosy and comfortable. The sunset view from the deck was unforgettable. The old couple in charge of food and facilities were very very sweet and friendly.

United KingdomIt’s a great location, some of the places that the tours will take you on are right at your doorstep. You’ll also spot the balloons every morning. The food is some of the best in Cavusin. But more than anything else the highlight is the staff; Fatih, Ayten, and Abdi are some of the kindest and nicest people I met in Turkey. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. My wife sprained her leg and the nearest medical shop was 5kms away but Abdi was kind enough to take me on his bike to get bandages. You can’t ask for more.

IndiaIt is not in Goreme but in the Çavuşin village which is about 15 mins away by car from Goreme. The facilities inside the rooms are minimal. The toilet drains have a smell that wont go away.
It is a genuine old cave in which they have made rooms. We loved the homely breakfast served by Aytin and Abti. They are the best people we met in Turkey. My children were so fond of them and both of them went out of their way to spoil them.

GermanyThe place needs some maintenance and freshening up. Some more decoration and furniture deep clean/replacement would make a big difference. We had a fireplace but no firewood was provided which was a shame. It was still cold enough at night that a fire would have been cozy. We also had some sort of consistent dripping of water from the ceiling, making a dangerous puddle in the hallway (slippery rock plus water is no good). It took a very long time to get hot water, which when trying to fill a giant bathtub, feels quite wasteful. The little village closes super early and there are very few options, with high prices considering the location (550 TL for a hookah in a cafe with zero vibe). So if you are looking for nightlife, this wouldn't be the right choice.
We stayed in the Presidential Cave Suite. What a great room! We had more than enough space and what's not to love about a giant sunken bathtub for two? The older couple who took care of us were a delight. Very attentive and ensured we had everything we could want. The breakfast was outstanding and made fresh with love. Looking out onto the abandoned historical cave village is also super cool. If you manage to wake up early it's a great location to watch the sunrise hot air balloons.

GermanyWe can recommend the hotel. But you should be aware it is made in a cave, therefore it is impossible to reach the comfort of some modern new building... so if you are prepared to some smaller imperfections you will really enjoy your stay.
It was really unique experience to spend the night in a cave room. We got upgrade to a biger appartment, thank you for it! The location is good - and the view is gorgeous. Early morning the hot air baloons are flying all arround, some of them very near :-) The breakfast was served (very nicely) in extrodinary cave-room, and was very tasty. The couple taking care of the hotel and the breakfast were so welcoming and kind.

United KingdomJust a minor thing: I was hoping there would be a restaurant in the hotel based on the listed facilities. You can order food in the hotel from a limited menu with an hour's notice. In any event, it does not matter because there are great restaurants within walking distance (e.g., Cappa Gusto and Seyyah Han).
The hotel is situated in an excellent location between Goreme and Avanos, with five minutes' drive to Paşabağı Valley and 30 minutes' drive to Kaymakli Underground City. It is nicely tucked at the end of a street, facing the old village ruins of Çavuşin, which is also an interesting place to visit. When you climb up the ruins before sunrise, you see balloons flying over your head. From my room window, I could see the old village ruins of Çavuşin and the balloons. It is a very delightful and quiet neighbourhood. The bedroom was spacious. The bathroom was also very spacious. Very generous portion of breakfast which includes eggs, cheeses, chess rolls, bread, olives, vegetables and fruits. Very helpful members of staff who were there to answer questions and help with queries. I had my airport transfers (from and to airports) arranged. The best thing for me was the car park. I had a rental car which I didn't want to park in the street. I could park the car inside the hotel.

NorwayWe ordered 4 tickets for a show thru the hotel ( receptionist took our order ) thinking we are going to see what's on picture in the posters( swirling sufi dancers). The receptionist didn't tell us that it will be a totally diff.show all together ( turkish night with food and drinks without the religious swirling dancers) We were very disappointed when they did not appear of course. Our time and payments were wasted into some event/show we do not wish to see at all.
Food in breakfast was very good. Freshly fried eggs, delicate presentation of food fres We can ask for more refill if we want some more food..:) ..Also worth mentioning was the very attentive couple who tended our needs during our whole stay. Terrace of the hotel was large and we had a great view of air balloons passing by above us while we are sipping coffee and having a great photo shots..😃.

SingaporeFatih. Absolutely unresponsive and nonchalant. As if someone is holding him at gunpoint to run this hotel. He was not present during our checkout. On our last night there we faced a horrible incident. At 12 am at night, we woke up hearing a loud scream of a woman (2/3 times), lots of banging doors and hurried footsteps. A car (or ATV?) kept coming and going. And a dog kept barking consistently. We kept contacting Fatih about the situation but there was no response from him. We kept wondering if there was some kind of abduction/murder going on outside, we were scared for our lives and kept thinking if we’re next. The terrace connects all the rooms together and anyone from the outside could enter our room through the terrace (since the terrace door lock is kind of flimsy), so you can imagine how traumatised we were. Thankfully, after an hour, everything calmed down and we went back to sleep. We still don’t know what happened that night and we’re so grateful that it was our last night there.
Starting with the positives: Abdi and Ayten, have been the sweetest caretakers. The food they cooked were delicious and the way they treated us made us feel like we’re at home. The terrace was beautiful with the most perfect view of the hills, sunset and hot air balloons. There were quite a few souvenir shops and restaurants downhill which made the stay quite convenient. Chavusin is overall a calm little village where you can admire the view and feel like a local.
