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.).

SwitzerlandA bit of noise, not so good of insulation and the AC is very noisy I can't use it when sleeping. And if opening the window there is a lot of music and people in the streets during night.
Good location.

United StatesThe only complaint is it was very hot outside when we were there and the air conditioning never made it more than lukewarm. If you don't need to sleep on the cooler side or are not traveling in the very hot time then not a big deal at all.
The hotel was perfectly located. One block from the Duomo. On the same street steps away from dining and shopping. The hotel was beautiful. The rooftop was magical especially at night.

BulgariaHosts are simply great - kind, very accommodating and helpful, they will greet you warmly and with a smile on their face. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Matera and very easy to find. We booked one of the apartments that had a terrace and got the chance to enjoy such lovely views of the city. ❤️ The place was very clean and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need. We really enjoyed our stay, and would love to return someday, hopefully in the near future. Thank you so much for everything!🙏🏻

Comfortable apartment in the heart of the Sassi. The rooftop terrace was the highlight of our stay. Seeing the Sassi lit up at night is amazing as is watching the place come to life early in the morning. Plenty of restaurants and bars close by. The apartment is ideally located for exploring both the Sassi and the main square in Matera. Really friendly and helpful owners. We enjoyed his stories of his father's work. They have an amazing family owned store with not only gifts and souvenirs, but a fantastic miniature model of the Sassi handmade by his father. We were also given tickets to visit their authentic Cave experience which is a must do.

CanadaNot sure air conditioning would be effective during hotter weather - was okay when we had windows open in the evening to let in cool evening air. Kitchen facility was quite minimal, but adequate for a short stay.
Interesting location in Matera’s Sassi Barisano, walkable, close to the ravine and interesting sights throughout the historic Sassi area. Quite far from the bus stop on Via Don Luigi Sturzo. Cab fare may be close to €20. Room is not in a cave house. There is a small kitchenette, sleeping area with twin beds in a loft for children, and a bathroom. Air conditioning was not working effectively when we were there. Upper terrace (reached by stairs) has a great panoramic view of Sassi Barisano.

Were given a warm welcome, and owner was really helpful, looking after our luggage after checkout. The apartment was modern and comfortable, nice little kitchen area, good shower and bathroom and in an excellent location. The terrace , even though shared with another apartment, was the highlight and we enjoyed our own drinks, snacks in the evening and breakfast the next morning on the terrace overlooking the Sassi.

CanadaOnly downside to the room itself was the bed which has a frame that extends out from the mattress and makes stubbing your toes a frequent and painful event. The hotel is in a pedestrian only zone, which is good, but cannot be reached using Google Maps. It should have been a 15 minute walk, but we walked in circles for 2 hours with our bags and finally took a taxi. The directions provided by the host were insufficient. It would have been helpful if he had provided us with a map with the walking route shown, or told us about the city bus. No breakfast is provided and the only nearby cafe doesn’t open until 9:00 am, so you have to walk 10 minutes uphill to a cafe in the piazza.
Great location in the heart of the old town. Modern furnishings, good storage, good AC, large bathroom with large counter. Very clean. Helpful host. Located on the tourist walking route and only 20 meters from a red bus stop (circulates from the station through the old town). Free tickets to the adjacent Casa Grotta and the Sassi in Miniatura were provided by the host.
