How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The apartment was beautiful, spacious, and spotless, located in the heart of Matera's historic center. The owner, Sergio, is a truly wonderful person – incredibly helpful and hospitable. Thanks to him, we were able to discover the hidden gems of Basilicata. He guided us around the region, sharing the fascinating history behind many places. He also arranged excursions to remote towns we wouldn't have been able to reach without a car – plus, he even gave us Italian lessons! It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Italy from a completely different perspective – with the best guide we could have imagined. Thanks to his help, we were also able to capture some amazing drone footage. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

We liked everything! Location of the apartment is perfect, not in the busy street, but few steps to the Sassi. Apartment is spacious and convenient with possibility to cook. Great atmosphere, cozy decorated with various pieces of art. Sergio is a fantastic host! Took us to a small roadtrip around Matera, explained history, showed us many nice things. On a last day he even took us to the bus. Highly recommend staying here :)

Wish we had more time for Matera itself. It is an amazing rock city.
A very spacious appartment filled with art a few meters from the entry to the Sassi. The best part was the host Sergio who took us for a great driving tour of surrounding historical sites, a wonderful cave church covered with frescoes, the Palomba sculpture garden filled with Antonio Paradiso's work and a walk along the gravina to visit rock hewn caves. And he took us to the best foccacia bakery of Matera....

Property location is at the center. Sight seeing starts right away once you step out the house. Abundant options for food nearby. Train station is around 10 min walk. September is pleasant time to visit. Host is very friendly and welcoming. He explained us briefly about the city tour which was helpful.

There is no AC, however there are portable fans that are quite effective.
Everything about this property was amazing. Very spacious with unique art style. Fully furnished kitchen and all necessary appliances. Felt more like a home than a booking appartment :) Location is great as well, right at the entrance to the old town. Also the host was very welcoming and gave many suggestions for the things to do.
