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):
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.).

An unforgettable 2 days! Casa Ferri offers the chance to stay in an authentic cave dwelling and explore the incredible Sassi which lies all around you. Our host was incredibly kind and informative. He helped us find a parking place nearby ( we had been worried about arriving by car in Matera but no need) and he gave us a brief history of the area as well as recommendations for restaurants and hotels. We will be back!

CanadaNothing. It was perfect!
The caves were incredible. They were the perfect mix of modern interior while maintaining the beautiful cave structure. The location was also perfect just on the side of the Sassi so people with mobility issues do not have to deal with long sets of stairs. We can’t recommend this place enough! The owner is also a history buff and told us all about the history of the property.

Wonderful cave room in the heart of Matera! Had such a warm welcome and given an impromptu history and discussion of local area, which just showed how passionate the area is to locals. We loved the cave room which was spacious and tastefully decorated; in a clean and modern style. Shower was lovely and the towels were so soft. Bed is very comfortable and slept well with no noise disturbance. Matera is most beautiful city and this room was in keeping with that. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved it! Overall the vibe of this cave apartment was lovely including facilities, aesthetics, size, comfort of the pillows, bed and that it's very centrally located makes this place ideal for anyone on a holiday. In addition, Simona (the one who checked me in) and Anna (the owner) were so understanding, kind and helpful throughout my stay. They will go above and beyond to fulfil your needs. Highly recommend!
