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 StatesMore more hooks or places to hang clothes and towels in the huge bathroom. Getting from the road to the hotel via the walkway/stairs requires some stamina or very little luggage. We had to ask Luciano for help with our suitcases.
Wonderful breakfast and different every day. The staff was so attentive. Our cave room was amazing visually.

United KingdomEverything was great nothing to dislike!
We were traveling with friends who had booked the suite as we decided to have a standard room. These rooms were situated next door to one another. The suite was totally unique and even had a cinema room with amazing comfy chairs in which we did use even though we had only booked a one night stay as we were traveling further. Both rooms were perfect and situated in the heart of the town. Would highly recommend:)

United StatesIt is a cave and it feels like a cave. Be prepared for it to be a bit humid and to have limited climate control. I found it comfortable but some might not.
Right in the middle of the Sassi - this is, to me, the quintessential Matera experience.

AustraliaPerhaps you could say the stairs were challenging however that is part of the charm of Matera so nothing we didn’t like.
It was a threat place to stay. Staff were very helpful. I would advise anyone going that they get a taxi to the top of the stairs from the main town and have Luciano help with the luggage. Staff were really helpful with getting us a taxi when we left.

perfectly located in the old part of Matera. Staff was very friendly and responsive as we checked by message for parking solution. We parked just 300 m away from the hotel in a secured car park where we left our bikes at the car. The room in a cave was perfect for us to cool down and relax before we went out to explore in the later afternoon. We arrived in August so it was super hot during the day. Breakfast also very good, dog friendly, wifi worked well. We hope to be able to come back.

United StatesJust that the spa didn't work.
The room itself was amazing, very cool to stay in a cave like hotel. We paid to visit the spa and unfortunately the hot tub wasn't working, it was quite cold. They kept trying to fix it but it seemed like it just didn't get hotter. They let us stay in the spa longer which was nice but it was disappointing. The breakfast was excellent and in a very cool setting. Overall would recommend!
