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.).

United StatesCannot recommend this stay enough. The host made you feel at home in every way. Views from the space were great. Perfect location walking distance to the sissa. Paid parking across the street was 18 euros. It is possible to get free parking - but it was more convenient to use the paid.

We loved everything about Limen! The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Our room had a balcony overlooking the old town - an amazing view. The location was perfect - easy walking distance to the old town and many restaurants, but nice and peaceful. Paola was the most wonderful host. She gave us so much information, provided a delicious breakfast and was generally just great to chat to! We loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

MUST VISIT! The apartment is very beautiful, clean and nicely structured. You get a magnificent view over the whole historic part of the city. The area is not too busy, away from tourist, but still in proximity to the most beautiful places. Parking is free and close to the apartment. Dogs are welcome. The owner Paola is extremely kind and helping, she has the kindest and purest soul. She decorated the apartment very well.

SerbiaIt would be nice to have wine glasses available, for evenings on the balcony. But that’s so minor suggestion . All was amazing.
Host is so kind and friendly. Breakfast is amazing. But most importantly, view. It is worth every penny to wake up to this view. Be careful to choose right room.

South AfricaMatera is NOT an easy place to navigate in a vehicle. The facility suggests free parking nearby which is an impressive bonus. Our hostess Paola was unstoppable - providing advice, guidance, warmth AND a magnificent breakfast. The guesthouse is a short meander from the original "sassi" yet is well-positioned for easy access or exit to the city. Should one need to cross into the modern city, the bus system passes right by. We felt "at-home" in this comfortable property.

PolandThe suitable place choice in Matera was not easy, but when I saw pictures from Paola appartment I didn't hesitate for a moment! Interior furnishing of this house real treat for lovers of authentic design the 50-60s of the last century.and historical heritage of this region. History of european design mixed here with the unusual atmosphere of the town and Paola she is a good spirit of this place. This is perfect clean appartment. The simple but elegant breakfast complemented superbly furnished apartment. A wonderful view of the Sassi, canion and roofs old city. It’s the perfect starting point to explore the wonders of Matera.

BulgariaPaola’s home is very unique. Her husband is an architect and everything in this apartment is very stylish and carefully curated. Me and our friends loved staying there. The apartment is fully equipped. They even had a milk frotter and coffee machine in the kitchen, wich was really nice, because you can make your own cappuccino. There was paid car parking right across the street wich was very convenient for us. Communication with Paola was also very nice and I definitely recommend staying in Limen Matera Guesthouse.
