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.).

Amazing experience to stay in a cave with all of the facilities you needed. The location is superb- overlooking Piazza San Pietro and the Sassi Caveoso. It was a delight to eat breakfast on our terrace with that view. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Check in at noon was a bonus. Hosts were terrific and very helpful with info about the town. Matera is truly a wonder. Take a guided tour to understand the complex and fascinating history.

RomaniaFirst and foremost I liked the location and the view in front of our room, which is stunning both during the day with the church and the hill full of old houses and during the night when you see all the houses lit up on the hill. The room was also nice and spacious, nicely decorated and part of it was cave. The breakfast was good and generous, taken at the table in front of the room.

EVERYTHING!! The location in the Sassi is excellent and easily accessible on the Sassi line bus from the Via Saragat carpark. We loved our cave house apartment - incredibly comfortable and spacious (the attached picture is only of the sleeping area - the room also had a large lounge and kitchenette area). The views from the rooms are spectacular and the perfect backdrop for the magnificent breakfast served on the terrace. Dominic, Tiziana and Luka were fantastic hosts. No request was a problem, and they were wonderful to help us with our luggage. Heaps of wonderful places to eat and drink. You will not regret staying here.

What an amazing location. The cave rooms are incredibly detailed yet historic. The family who owned this property for generations are amazing hosts. There is so much to see right in this radius. I will be back. Everyone should stay here. The views from the rooms and terrace are beyond words. Thank you, I enjoyed my time in Matera immensely and your property made it more enriching. Sending blessings on your future expansion and renovation

AustraliaThis is a very personal choice but the only thing I had a problem with was the soft bed. I have a bad back and found the bed way too soft and I moved to the sofa! My husband had no issues with the bed.
Absolutely amazing property in the shadow of the main rock church in the Sassi and overlooking the town, ravine and rock church park. The room is huge and has everything you could need; it is built into the rock face with a barrel roof and rock walls. Tasteful decor and well equipped kitchen and minibar. There is a terrace with chairs & table perfect for a drink while watching Matera wind down at night. Close to restaurants. Fantastic breakfast and staff. Super friendly and helpful. I’d say this is the best located accommodation in the Sassi.

United KingdomIt was all perfect.
Perfectly located with astounding views of both the city and the sassi. Built mainly in the rock giving it bags of character and keeping it cool. Breakfast on the terrace was excellent, even fresh figs picked from the tree as we watched. Tiziana & Domenico were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Our room had a beautiful view of the city and the cathedral tower, the bed was comfortable, good Wi-Fi, usb ports, good shower and a little terrace.

SwitzerlandWhilst not that serious, we found the bed linen and pillows not up to standard. Pillows are too hard. Bed linen is too flimsy. There should be some shelves in the bathroom above the toilet seat. And, sadly not tissue paper is provided.
This must be one of best locations in Matera! Just 4 rooms run by a most charming family. They will do all to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast is sereved right outside your room whilst you enjoy the sight of Matera and the Cathedral below your room! Magical. Inside your "cave" which was really a very large well appointed room you will sleep like a bear - the most quiet room we ever had. Best of all, the bus from Saragat Parking stops just down a few steps from your room. At the same bus stop you can also take a bus which will bring you to the other side of the gorge to look over at Matera for the grand view. (and avoid the 200 meter down and 200 meter up hike to cross the gorge over the Tibetan bridge). We can highly recommend this place. Book early they only have four rooms.
