Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

RomaniaThe bathroom needs privacy, not having a door or any shield to separate it is not always comfy or natural.
Very nice rooms. Stylish, modern amenities fitting well into the room' old style.

United KingdomRoom was very comfortable and finished to a very high standard. Good location at the edge of the Sassi with a 40 min walk taking you around the main sites in a circular route. Greeting was welcoming and breakfast was good too.

Netherlands- The backside of a room in the Sassi is the lack of windows and natural light in the room (however, the adjacent terrace was in very nice location)
- Real experience in historical place of the Sassi of Matera - Comfortable and clean room - Nice breakfast in line with Italian expectation (although it may be not varied enough for internationals) - Adjacent terrace in very nice location - Friendly and efficient staff

We had a nice and huge cave room with two beds across each other. The shower was kinda unique. The location is also good. Breakfast is included in the price. Good for one night.

Good location near edge of sassi so didn’t have to carry luggage too far. We had a wonderful view from our little balcony. The bathroom was top quality.

United KingdomHad to be careful getting in and out of the bed which was in an alcove on a mezzanine floor and hence very low ceiling - mind your head!
Perfect location for exploring Matera with easy parking only a 5 minute walk away. Wonderful view from the little balcony. Clean and spacious room and bathroom. Very efficient communication from the host although we didn’t actually meet her until the end of our stay

SpainBreakfast could have been better. Little option, it would be great if it included more fruit. Be aware that since the room is in a cave it does not have a window and all the sunlight you get is from the main door. It was fine for me but my friend felt a bit claustrophobic.
The location was amazing

Amazing view! Great location, specially if want to stay in the historical center which is a ztl so cars can’t come in, because it is just on the each of the ztl, so short walk with the luggage.
