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.).

PolandThe stairs for mezzanine are really steep.
The location of the apartment is great. It was really warm in it, even if we did not use the AC to heat up, as nights were still cold. Beds are comfortable. The only thing that would make the experience better is the wine corkscrew ;)

The location (and view) was fantastic. It's really worth taking the time to stay in Matera and experience it at night when the daytrippers have gone, and how better to do it than in a cave room? The Cave Rooms are in a great location, easily accessible from the station, and my room had a beautiful view of the Duomo. Check in was really easy and Nunzio was a great host with lots of helpful ideas and suggestions from my stay. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit.

United KingdomParking was a bit difficult, but the host provided plenty of information about this, and I’m sure they can’t do much about it. There was a kettle with instant coffee, but on other places there were pod machines. I don’t mind it that much, there are plenty of cheap cafes in the town, so this is minor thing.
The host was lovely, provided lots of information and recommended a place to eat with a discount for his guests. The location was great for exploring the beautiful old town with cave homes! The room itself was beautiful. The shower and toilet were separate which is very good.

FinlandHey, it was a "cave". Not all the amenities were 5-star and air might feel a bit humid & stale when getting in. But to me, that was a part of an experience. No complaints!!!
The authenticity of Matera experiment. Room was maybe not exactly in a cave but not far of it either. And it was BEAUTIFUL. Sufficiently functional too with special mention for a beautiful shower.

United KingdomOne our first night the pillows were quite lumpy, but after letting the housekeeper know we were provided with better pillows for a restful night’s sleep.
Great location! It was very authentic with a cave-style shower. Good wifi considering the location and thick walls. Excellent communication when checking in and responsive via text. The cave room is located down some stairs and in a small, shared courtyard, so it is a very quiet and enclosed area.
