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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaI was hoping that once I got to the room there would be no steps but there were also steps into our room. Rooms had a glass bathroom that even when ‘mirrored’ you could still see into. Rooms are all different so I’m sure you could request what you would prefer when booking if you know (we were an older group travelling with our mum and our booking was last minute).
I think a renovated cave stay is an amazing opportunity that should be done if visiting Matera and was a good location. We did appreciate getting help with our bags to the taxi on check out. We had previously walked with them from the car park which was difficult so I would definitely recommend this option.

United StatesOur ONLY complaint was the slippery access walkway to the property. Everything else was.WONDERFUL!
The host was excellent. The facilities were nice, and we found it interesting and educational to stay in a sassi. Matera was our favorite village in Basilicata. The breakfast was very nice. I would recommend that she wear shoes that grip well, as a walk up Street entrance to the property offices rather slippery, with shiny foot polished stones. The host was responsive to my expressed concerns, after my wife slipped and fell, trying to negotiate the steps. He said the city was unresponsive to his having repeatedly expressed, concerns about this problem. That being said, he was an EXCELLENT host.

Czech RepublicFrom the moment we arrived to the hotel, the host welcomed us with such warmth and attentiveness, making us feel right at home. His was always eager to accommodate our needs and share local tips. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. It was the perfect start to our day, filled with fresh and high-quality ingredients. Location-wise, the hotel is nestled in a serene area (in the heart of Sasso Caveoso), offering the tranquility we desired after a day of exploring. Yet, it's conveniently close to local attractions, making our explorations of the area hassle-free and enjoyable. Overall, our stay was delightful, thanks to the wonderful host, great breakfast, and ideal location. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat near the heart of the action.

AustraliaThe hotel is in a great location near restaurants in the old sassi, it’s so incredibly beautiful. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much for them. We asked to move rooms and paid to upgrade which was so worth it as the new room was so beautiful and spacious. Well worth booking above the lead in room if you can. Breakfast was tasty and good range. We loved our stay.
