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.).

What a great experience, exceeded our expectations and so well situated. The rooms are unique in their cave like design and beautifully decorated. Definitely worth a visit and very highly recommended. The hostess, Deniso, spoke excellent English and was most helpful and knowledgeable

SlovakiaAt the reception, they recommended a wonderful view from the parking lot opposite Matera, about 6 km away, but it is a national park where entry is prohibited, but even the bus driver at the ramp claimed that I could go there by car. After about 200 m, a lady stopped us and pointed out that we are in a national park, where entry is really prohibited, so we turned it around. However, I expect a fine :-( However, this does not change the fact that Matera and the accommodation at the Caveoso hotel are wonderful.
A nice hotel with an excellent location right in the old part of the city. I leave the room and I'm in the ancient street of the city, amazing. Breakfast had to be ordered on a separate form by items, unusual. But probably caused by the fact that it was possible to bring them into the room. Professional and friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Amazing environment in the cave, both the room and the bathroom. It is a bit unusual that the rooms are entered directly from the streets of the city. In the evening, however, tourism stops and there is peace.

United KingdomLike everything about Matera, it was unique experience, and one that you will probably not find anywhere else in the world: staying in an actual cave! The staff were warm, welcoming and accommodating and ensured you had a 'unique experience'. They gave great advice on visiting the city, what to see and where to eat etc. They also went above and beyond such as making me a delicious breakfast pack for my room and arranging a taxi to take me to the bus station for a 7:30am coach. Bed was one of the best hotel beds I've ever stayed in. Location was perfect you were not too far away from anything! If I come back to Matera I will certainly stay at this hotel again!
