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...).

AustraliaWow !!! This accomodation is amazing!! We booked both bedrooms here as our adult daughter was travelling with us. This would be one of our very favourite accommodations we have ever stayed in. The views from the terraces here have to be seen to be believed! Absolutely stunning. We wished we had been able to stay longer. Super clean and with a great kitchen. Bed linen is very high quality and mattresses extremely comfortable. We were going to eat out in a restaurant but the views from this accommodation are much better than any restaurant in Matera. So we enjoyed a lovely home cooked meal with stunning views. Photos don’t do it justice. Indeed very memorable accommodation.

RussiaThe location is the best of the best as well as apartments itself ! In the middle of the old Matera- with amazing terrace overlooking the ancient city . Very warm , cosy and spacious Sassi apartments. There is a small kitchen where you can make tea/coffee. Great experience- our stay was fantastic ! Thanks a lot to Patrizia ( the host) for everything !

ItalyWe decided to cook dinner and breakfast and found out that there were no plates and barely any paper towels. Most of people who stay probably dine out but if you are making plans on cooking to save some bucks, there are plenty of little supermarkets that sell whatever you need.
The property was exceptional. The property was clean, comfortable, and it had everything you need.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay here - the location was fantastic (make sure you follow the directions to find it!). It was finished to a really high spec, the photos don’t do it justice. The terraces are huge and wonderful with fantastic views. I hadn’t appreciated that there are only 2 rooms so if you book both- as we did - you have the whole place to yourself! It’s like an apartment but you can book the bedrooms individually. We spent a whole day sitting on the terrace soaking up the sunshine even at the end of October.

CanadaThis place is stunning! Located right in the Sassi you have your own view of the town without elbowing the other tourists for a picture. Room has character and is huge! Loved the shower as well. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Matera.

GreeceOur room didn't have a full length mirror and also bedside cabinets. My sister slept on the double bed and I slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable but had not bedside table or bedside light so I had to put a chair next to it to use for my phone, etc. I think adding these two things would improve the apartment enormously.
The accommodation was a house with several rooms, some with private terrace and others with shared terrace. The property was well situated in that we got a taxi from the bus stattion to the small square just above and then walked down a few steps to the building. Easy to find and easy to reach. The room we booked with private terrace was amazing. We loved the view looking over the sassi of Matera and it was so quiet and peaceful. The beds were super comfy (even the sofa bed) and the shared kitchen was great with communal area to sit and eat if you wanted. The owners were very responsive to our messages and allowed us to leave our luggage on the premises for several hours after checking out.

United KingdomIt was fine for us but there’s a lot of up and down steps. The bathroom is a bit dated too but it was fine.
It was quirky and had an amazing view of Matera from the big private balcony which was especially good at night. The room is spacious and secure. It’s also pretty close to the restaurants, bars and points of interest.

DenmarkThe location is unique. Both the private and the shared terrace gives a fantastic view over the old town – especially at night when the city lights are on. The apartment is very spacious, clean and well furnished. Easy to find thanks to a good instruction with pictures from the host. Small cosy streets with a lot of stairs.

AustraliaThe small upright fan provided was noisy and not sufficient to to keep the bedroom cool. An air conditioner would make a world of difference during the summer period. We had a problem connecting some of our Apple devices during our stay which our host spent a considerable amount of time attempting to resolve the issue for us (thank you!). Towards the end of our stay the problem resolved itself.
The size of the apartment was perfect. The outside terrace was brilliant with great views of the the old town; Sassi. The location was within easy walking to the centre.
