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.).

AustraliaMy cave was huge, well laid out and provisioned. Simona was so very kind and caring and nothing was a bother for her. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and looked forward to getting back to such a special place after walking the Sassi all day.

RomaniaIt was my second time in Matera and this time I really wanted to stay inside a cave. I was lucky to find Casa Ferri. For me it was perfect. The location is so good. I came to Matera with a bus and then walked about 25 minutes to reach the property - which is in such a perfect location in the Sassi di Matera. You can walk everywhere from here. The place was really clean and it gave me the cave experience that I wanted. Very spacious also. I loved waking up early morning, going outside and enjoying straight away the empty streets of the Sassi. Anna was very helpful and the check-in and check-out processes were very smooth. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to my next visit in Matera and hopefully staying here again.

AustraliaI was I little disappointed with tea / coffee making facilities. Not proper cups and saucers provided, no teaspoons, only wooden disposable sticks. Could improve on small things.
We enjoyed the experience of staying in a cave. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The location was good close to train station and bus. The accommodation is in the historical Sassi area, very close to main piazza. Overall nice place to stay for 2 nights.

United KingdomAs it’s a cave it did feel a little airless! The bathroom did not smell good - my only complaint. We parked in a nearby car park which was expensive but convenient.

Canada- the base of the shower needs a little attention, but this looks like a fairly easy fix - because you’re right in the old town (which I highly recommend), the parking lot is about 300 metres away and about 20 euros, but pack light and the stroll is across the beautiful piazzas.
-c’mon….when do you get the chance to sleep in a cave? Learning about the people who lived, and still live here is humbling and the depth of history truly overwhelming - comfortable bed and nice dark sleep - proximity to town centre, cafes and restaurants - seamless communication with host - Grazie for a truly unique experience!

Casa Ferri is in a fantastic spot in the sassi to explore the city. It’s an experience to stay in a cave and it is renovated beautifully. Room comes with breakfast at local cafe and room service daily. Ana was a wonderful host who gave us tips and suggestions for dinner and touring. I’d definitely recommend to stay here.

Our stay started with the host meeting us in the piazza and showing us the room. She was super friendly and helpful and showed us where to go and what to see on our brief stay. The room itself is best described as a renovated cave with all the facilities. It was large, spacious and really comfortable while really unique. Location was supreme just off a large piazza in the old town amongst other cave dwellings and metres from cafes, restaurants and shops. Thoroughly recommend if visiting Matera.
