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.).

AustraliaHad to park quite far away and climb a lot of stairs with luggage. So pack light if visiting here!
This place was very unique. The cave rooms were so beautiful and they have taken all the necessary steps to make it comfortable, including having a dehumidifier in the room as they would be very damp otherwise. The spa area at the hotel was much better than I expected, it was well worth the money to go for a few hours and swim, sauna, steam and drink tea. We had such an amazing time in Matera and would come back here again and again.

AustraliaNothing.
We had a triple room which consisted of a double and a single. It was very spacious. It even had a bath tub/spa in its own little niche! Toiletries were plenty - no skimping! They made the bed daily which was such a treat. The room opened to the outdoors...there are quite a few steps to navigate from the elevator, but if you arrive within hours, the porter will help with your bags. The outdoor area had a lovely table and chair that you could sit in and just take in the incredible view of the Sassi. Breakfast was at the breakfast room and the food was plentiful and tasty. A variety of coffees were offered and brought to you. It was a highlight. The pool and the sauna facilities were great...very relaxing. only wish I could have gotten a massage..but i didnt have time. I would highly recommend this hotel. I would return again.

SloveniaThe girl at the reception almost shouted on us why we didn’t call them at the garage. Then forbidden to our kids the entrance in Therme - I wish I knew this at the moment of booking. It is located in the Sassi the old part so it is really difficult to reach with baggage.
Fantastic the experience to stay in the “cave home”. It was very clean and quiet. The room was very big so they could have put a sofa inside or a caffe machine, a mini bar but nothing. There was a sauna but it was locked. The breakfast was great!
