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.).

AustraliaNothing.
It was an amazing place. The accommodation was a very roomy renovated cave house with 2 bedrooms and 2 great bathrooms. The host was very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. It was a great location inside the old Sassi district with access to several restaurants in the street if you didn’t want to climb the stairs. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

CanadaSome street noise, but not too late and it became very quiet after 10:00 pm.
This property was very new and spotless. It also had luxuries not found in many private bookings, ie toiletries, historical books, candy. It was tastefully decorated. It is in a very good location within the old town in close proximity to many restaurants and amenities. Our landlord was quick to respond to our arrival and explained, through translator, (as we did not speak Italian) all the various requirements of the home. 5 stars for this property.

United StatesNo on site parking meant that we had to carry our bags which is challenging over cobblestone streets and pay 50 euros for 2 nights of overnight parking. The extra expenses add up. Otherwise was great!
Wonderful location just across the street from the Romanae Thermae baths in the old Sassi. So many extras - the host left milk, snacks, the apartment is so well appointed and has so many unique and lovely features. Easy check in process. Highly recommend!

AustraliaEverything! This was such an incredible accommodation. The 'cave' had been renovated and transformed 5 years prior. We as a family of four had plenty of room and it was perfectly located nearby very good restaurants and easy access to the nearby piazza's. The host was so helpful when I needed things booked for me and he provided detailed information around parking our car nearby in a garage. He even met us at the garage and helped us with our bags the short distance to the accom. Can't fault this place at all. And Matera in general - just mind blowing!
