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...).

United StatesBed was a little close to an overhang in the cave . We hit our heads a few times. Cave was a little damp as was expected and they also had a dehumidifier so they are prepared.
Room in a cave was novel and well appointed. We had a large jacuzzi in our room and it was fun. Bathroom well appointed with a separate shower room by the jacuzzi. Location was right in old Sassi Matera. Close to restaurants and bars. The view outside our room was stunning. Breakfast was very nice. Great locaiton.

United KingdomIt was difficult to get to, but that’s due to the unique location. Would be difficult for someone older or with disabilities. The steps inside the room to the bathroom were quite dangerous and the entrance quite low. Very easy to slip or bang your head. The shower was also quite slippy.
The location, and especially the view out of our were fabulous. It felt unique to be staying in a cave. The shower was amazing.

MaltaOur particular room had no windows due to its positioning within the rocks. Otherwise nothing negative to comment about.
Situated at the begging of Matera and easy to access. Cinzia was extremely helpful, informative and obliging upon arrival. The room was of a good size and very comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was very nice.

United StatesNothing was out of order.
This may have been the nicest boutique hotel I have ever stayed in in my entire life. The setting is absolutely perfect, with a view of the historic sassi stone dwellings in Matero. The staff was small, but looked after you like family. The breakfast was astonishing and I felt like I was one Five-star dude.

United KingdomWe stayed in 41c heat so the mezzanine floor bedroom struggled to benefit from the aircon which was on the lower floor. It was 41c though so not unexpected!
The view from our bedroom (Terra) was amazing. The terrace was fantastic. The bathroom cave was huge and luxurious. Breakfast was good with lots of options and fresh fruit. Bed was comfortable. The location of the hotel was fantastic, within easy reach of lots of great restaurants and bars and all the sights. We had no problem finding the hotel.

IsraelThe air conditioner didn't really cool the room enough, and it was too noisy at night to leave the windows open, so sleeping wasn't the best.
