Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandStudy well the way in to the property and parking options.it would be for all Sassi accommodations the same recommendations. I would use taxi or luggage portier. Have in mind that there is a noise of aircon system in upper rooms which is a minore disturbance. Overall its an amazing travel-in-time like movie experience.
Exceptional restored original Matera cave with modern Italian interior design. All rooms r uniquely designed, some even with jacuzzi Family run property offers all imaginable services. We did a homemade pasta in-house course with kids - can only recommend.

This stay was one of the best in all my travels. I was treated like family and they went above beyond in their treatment. I cannot say enough about this magical place. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Worth every euro.

Australia- When using the fan in the bathroom there is the fan motor inside the room which made the room a bit hot.
- Lovely room in the rock of Matera which is a very unique experience - The room was big, clean and had everything we needed. - The courtyard of the hotel is nice and quiet and very relaxing - Breakfast was simple but tasty.

United KingdomInteresting setting and the room came with some information about the family who had lived there, which was really interesting. The reception staff were great, gave us a map with things to see and places to go as well as restaurant recommendations. I am vegan and they catered for that at breakfast, which we have not found yet in southern Italy.

AustraliaAbsolutely awesome stay. The owner was kind and so helpful and helped organise porters for our luggage we would never have been able to carry our bags with all those steps! The room was fantastic, so awesome to be in a cave, a very unique experience. The beds were comfortable and warm, the bathroom was clean and functional. Breakfast was beautiful with an array of homemade items. The location and views from the room were brilliant. A fantastic stay and made our time in Matera memorable.

United KingdomAbsolutely amazing stay here! Lovely experience staying in a cave room on the top level, which was very large and very clean. Perfect location, a bit of a walk from the centre, but you get an amazing view right at the doorstep. Good breakfast buffet, though it is a continental breakfast style without cooked options. Overall my experience was amazing and I would stay here again!

AustraliaJust wow. The room was beautifully appointed, the little cave at the back was amazing (kids loved it) and the whole experience was wonderful. Also, we last minute realised we had to get help getting our bags to the hotel and this was arranged with little hassle (they do prefer you to give 24hrs notice, so I'm not saying be as disorganized as us).
