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.).

United StatesThe website should have made it clear that the (free) parking is not onsite. They have a little bus to transport you back and forth. Not a big deal though.
This was one of the grottos converted to a hotel room. It was an exceptional experience staying there, despite the miserable weather in the middle of May. The room was enchanting. The staff went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. Breakfast was excellent and for dinner there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It was a pleasure walking through the old town and admiring the architecture and the views --despite the rain and the cold.

United StatesThey need a bar. Or at least opportunities for cocktails on arrival. A glass of wine while enjoying the spectacular view would be a special moment. Rooms are quite nice. Beds are a tad stiff and low to the ground for older folks but it is very impressive what they have done with the rooms overall. Staff is excellent. Very kind. Very thoughtful. And most of all very excited about the city of Matera and eager to share their knowledge. Overall a great experience.
Location was beautiful. Breakfast was tasty but limited choices.

SloveniaOn the page it says that there is parking available, which is not actually true ( there are no parkings in Sassi), but it is also not a problem , because they pick you up and drive you to the hotel and back to wherever you park.
Location is superb. Hotel is in the first row by the canyon. Sleeping in Sassi was really enjoyable and unique. Views from the outdoor terrace were wonderful. The staff are really nice. We would definitely stay again.

FranceThe time spent at the hotel was too short...
If you go to Matera , stay at Basiliani hotel. It is a wonderful discovery. The view from the room is amazing, the hotel staff is super welcoming and helpfull, the beds are confortable and the situation of the hotel is a little exentrated from the bustle of the city center so you can sit and relax . The breakfast was really good and we sat outside on the terrasse enjoying the quietness and the beautiful view. To summarize: go, go, go...

SingaporeBreakfast!
The location was just incredible. Our room opened up to the gorge.. Hard to describe, but we were just above this incredible canyon. It did mean that very often there were tourists right outside our door, but really it was one of the prettiest spots in the city. The "restaurant street" is right behind the hotel, so that helps too. Breakfast was a basic cold cuts /yoghurt/fruit spread. Could have been better for sure.

ItalyNothing. Our stay was perfection.
The location was stunning, the hotel is on the edge of the ravine looking across at cave dwellings. The room was in an incredibly old structure but was ultra modern, comfortable and sophisticated. We loved our stay. Matera is incredible… like no place we have ever seen. Incredibly ancient, great food and a relaxing location. The highlight of our stay was the staff. They picked us up from a free parking lot and drove us to within 100-ft of the lobby. They used WhatsApp for us to conveniently interact and we used this process for top notch concierge services. They recommended restaurants and booked reservations, helped us reserve massage and spa at Aquatico (incredible!), picked us up and transported us back if we were tired from climbing hills, helped us locate an open pharmacy on a Sunday, and drove us across town for a cooking lesson. They were incredible! Special shout out to Roberto who was our English speaking concierge and go to guy!
