How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewLocation is good.
The air conditioning is dripping water on the bed, the son couldn’t sleep well the whole night , toilet lock is not working even after fixed.
Dear Guest, you likely confused our property with another accommodation you stayed at during your trip to Italy. In our apartment, the air conditioning unit is positioned directly in front of the bed, making it impossible for water to have fallen from above. Furthermore, we did not receive any report regarding a malfunctioning bathroom door, so naturally no repair could be carried out. We would also like to remind you that you sent us several messages expressing appreciation for the suite and confirmed at check-out that your stay had been pleasant.

Verified reviewThe suite was perfect! Location was incredible (leaving the front door would never get old!), the rooms were far bigger than expected, chic and spotless, and included lots of extras which we loved. The hot tub and shower only elevate the experience further. Check-in could not have been simpler, and the hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive. Would recommend this suite to anyone visiting Matera in a heartbeat!
Nothing, we could not recommend this property any more - thank you for hosting us!

Verified reviewWhat an outstanding stay! This place is even better than the photos suggest. It’s in an excellent location with a superb view, with no tour groups standing right outside and no steep steps, like with other hotels. Also unlike most other Matera rooms which are in caves and have no windows or natural light, the bottom floor Deluxe Room is in an old refurbished building but has four doors/windows, which all open and provide light and fresh air. It is also very tastefully appointed, with chic furniture and very good lighting design. It feels very spacious, warm and comfortable- a very good bed, two large sofas for lounging, a beautiful bathroom with a good shower. There’s also a little kitchenette with espresso maker, fridge and microwave and a dining table so we could make meals. Victor is also a great host and was very helpful. 10/10!
Nothing, everything was perfect ☺️

Verified reviewSuper location very easy to reach. The bathroom with the huge bath and the stone arches is really beautiful. The suite is big and stylish. Vittorio the owner is very kind and the communication with him very easy. Very good to visit Matera.
I didn’t realize that was more of an entire unit rental than a hotel suite, so I was a but disappointed to realize that for that price, room service (cleaning) was not included. My bad probably, I should have read better.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry for the misunderstanding, the cleaning service is included in the price,often guests do not request it because they do not need it and prefer privacy. We obviously did not understand each other and we apologize for this. Best regards

Verified review-Ideal location in Matera at Piazza San Pietro Caveoso from where everything is easily accessible to visit. -Comfortable bed (at least one thing we were happy with in this apartment)
-Our reservation promised a terrace which could be seen on the picture provided by the host. However, for the apartment on street level which we got, there is no terrace. The so called Suite is basically a dark cage you get. If you open the door every tourist from the 'Piazza' looks right into the appartment (see picture below). Same with two side windows of whom one has a closed grid (see picture below). There are just shutters no curtains in the bed- & living room. Thus it's completely dark when you close them or if left open everybody can look into your bedroom. It's a complete 'no go' when you appreciate some privacy. -TV beamer did not work. The only cupboard existing was closed. The promised safe not in the apartment nor the sauna. -The communication with the host got quickly hostile once he realized we were complaining because of the lack of terrace which was promised in the rental agreement (he even wanted to get us out by booking another hotel for us which we kindly rejected). There is absolutely no service. When arrived nobody was there. In a spooky way the main door was opened for us via remote control. We never saw the host appearing nor excusing himself for the missing terrace. -The breakfast is poor and loveless with only some packed rusk and jam (see picture below). -Overall, no way of luxury suites nor professional guest treatment. Moreover, many heavy stains on wall prove of a humiditiy problem (see pictures below). We informed booking.com about the sham with the terrace and the dark cage atmosphere. Had we known all that, we had never booked this tourist trap.
Once you open the property page, both on the Booking platform and on the website, you will be able to see the photos of the house and the suites all together. Then, after selecting the suite you want to book, you will only see photos of that apartment. The guest did not read the conditions of the reservation. Once he arrived at the house I opened the door remotely awaiting my arrival but by telephone he told me that he did not want to stay in the chosen apartment but in the one with the balcony, so I contacted the booking team who tried to make him understand that he was wrong and to whom he apparently apologized. Then he didn't want to communicate with me again. His goal was to cause damage to my image so the best answer I can give is represented by the reviews of all the other guests

Verified reviewAbsolutely beautiful! Vittorio was so easy and was onto everything. I travelled alone as a female and have never felt safer. View is incredible! By far the best there. Taxi is right out the front. Easy to navigate as you literally just have to head down from the Sassi. It has everything you need and more!

Verified reviewI Tre Portali is right at one of the main squares, so conveniently located, especially with luggage. Vittorio, the owner, is incredibly helpful and the accommodation is so spacious and tastefully done, combining modern design with ancient walls - so much atmosphere in keeping with the town of Matera. We loved our stay and will definitely return!

Verified reviewWe were met by the owner, who was quite flexible as parking took us a bit longer than we anticipated. What a beautiful suite with an amazing view. And we've never had our own hammam (steam room) before. The long balcony overlooking the square and beyond to the canyon- just spectacular. The owner made sure we had local recommendations and answered all our questions. The nearby Sculpture museum, Musma, is a must. We felt really lucky to be staying where we were in that amazing city.

Verified reviewIf you don’t think you are getting a room with a balcony and a room and steam shower shown in the pictures its good enough. But if you expect to get what is in the pictures you might be disappointed given other amazing options in Matera
Upon pointing out that its deceptive to show pictures of a place, the owner handled it very poorly. I would only book if you actually get the room with a view, the other room is ok the street with a trash truck and bugs from the street.
Once you open the property page, both on the Booking platform and on the website, you can see photos of the house and the suites all together. Then, after selecting the suite you want to book, you only see the photos of that apartment. No one has ever been wrong in 7 years. This "gentleman" already stayed with us a few months ago and came back precisely because he had defined the stay as perfect and now says that the location, cleanliness, staff etc are worth 1. The guest was rude and disrespectful of the rules of the home. Once checked in, he asked for a late check out which was granted free of charge. After I left, he started writing to me that from the photos it is clear that all the apartments have a balcony (?) and his doesn't, and that he would damage me with a low rating if I didn't reimburse him. So I invite him to leave the suite (which is the most requested despite it not having a balcony) not for fear of his threats but because I didn't want to host a person who wasn't happy, and without penalty if he had made a request through the Booking team, which he obviously never did! The next day he checks out without notifying me and leaving the door completely open for hours! Fortunately, the square where the house is located is the safest place in Matera. All the previous reviews are certainly the best response to a person who clearly told only lies and tried to damage me for not admiting he was wrong.

Verified reviewVery helpful host and good location
Room was not a suite, absolutely no service, this was not a boutique hotel room, but more an Airbnb! We walked a lot with our luggage. you can reach the room by taxi much better choice.
We rarely respond to comments, whether positive or negative, but this time we have to do it: you said the house's location is good and then you gave it a low rating (?). It is located in the main square of the historic center 10 minutes walking over a tourist route without stairs. (the average rating is 9,8). It's not my fault if you took a wrong street because you didn't follow my suggestions. Isn't it a suite? The apartment is 65 m2 large with a bedroom, living room and separate bathroom, with shower and jacuzzi in the rock, the only difference with the hotel is that we don't have breakfast service (at the moment), but there is 24 hour assistance as you could apreciate. It’s not a boutique hotel room, that’s for sure! In the same area hotel rooms are half the size and cost much more. All our guests have always appreciated the cleanliness ,we particularly care about it (the average rating was 9,7 before your review). It seems that you didn’t like your stay and it's strange because, before leaving, you thanked me saying that you had a great time.
