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.).

United KingdomNot only was the room exceptionally well designed, kept and presented, the host also went beyond our expectations. Meeting us at the apartment, we were able to check in early; he shared his insights and recommendations on what to do in Matera and even drove us to the bus stop early on the morning of our departure. We were also left a free bottle of wine as complementary. This was all greatly appreciated and we have no hesitation in strongly recommending staying here.

FinlandWe took our car to the parking area and walked to the apartment with suitcases. The walk was not long, but there was a lot of height difference and stairs. Be prepared to carry suitcases. If we had known, we would have brought only a few necessary items and clothes with us in the little backpack.
Unique beautiful cave dwelling. The apartment was spacious and it was nice to spend time there. Quiet, good place to sleep. The location was in the middle of the oldest Matera. Emmanuel was a big help when we arrived. He also gave information of the history of the region. Strong recommendation.

Special thanks for the hospitality from the host. They greeted me at the bus station and took me to the lodging. I am so much appreciated· The location was right on the Sassi, there was a restaurant just next to the grotto. So convenient at night when getting tired and didn’t want to find somewhere to eat.

TaiwanThe parking arrangements since this sasso is in a ZTL zone. It would’ve been nice for the guests to temporarily park the car to offload and upload our luggage at least before we found a parking spot. Another thing was the odor of diffuser was really strong if people are sensitive to odors.
The central location to sassi and the authenticity of a sasso. The host has everything considered and even beyond the guests’ expectations. You could easily walk around the sassi of this charming town. Emanuele was super nice to be there in time to greet us and explain everything we might need during our stay. The bottle of chilled champagne was certainly a brilliant touch after that sweating walk from lifting luggage from where we’d parked our car. Breakfast was right across from the accommodation and convenient.
