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 KingdomAre you kidding??
I loved everything about this place, from the location to the 24-hr receptio desk, the courteous, helpful and highly professional staff, the cosy old-fashioned decor in my room, the stunning panoramic view of the old city surmounted by the cathedral, the equally fabulous dining terrace and exposed stone dining room behind it, the lavish breakfast spread included in the very reasonable out-of-season price,, the wi-fi in every room, the heating, the firm comfortable bed, the cleverly compact bathroom with the great shower... But that's enough about me. Now YOU go experience it!

It's a beautiful hotel, just not very accessible if you are not very mobile. My mother cannot do stairs and there were lots of stairs, the staff did their best to accommodate my mother. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff did their best to accommodate my mother.

BulgariaThe bar doesn't work after 9-10 pm, so if you are planning on a relaxing evening on the shared terrace of the hotel after your long day of walking, don't hope to get refreshments, drinks, or other. The room was okay, however, it was not very clean and it is also not on the main pictures (we hoped to get one of the rooms from the pictures, but ours was not included there). We noticed some stains on the sheets and covers, there was also dust around the bed and in the corners of the room. The bathroom also had some stains on the ground and sink. However, we are not very picky and that did not made our stay unpleasant, we still had a great time and the hotel is great for a short stay.
The location is great. Right in the heart of the Sassi region. We had a great view overlooking Matera. Breakfast was good, although it was the same for the whole stay. The staff was friendly.

It is such a unique hotel, on different levels with cave rooms or rooms with a view of the Sassi. We had the latter and it was amazing. There is a restaurant/bar available to guests and a sitting area by the check-in office which is a lovely area to gather with a view of the Sassi.
