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 StatesNothing.
This place is wonderful. Easy to find and central to everything. The breakfast is really good and what a spread! We were sad to have only spent 1 night. You will enjoy the terrace views and the breakfast room. Unfortunately, the bar on the terrace was closed but from there you will be able to see a spectacular view of Matera. Highly recommended.

Brilliantly located within Matera’s Sassi (a short cab ride is needed from the train station if you have suitcases), with great views of the city. Fantastic breakfast, charming interiors, and accommodating staff. We want to stay again!

United KingdomUnfortunately we stayed during the heatwave so the terrace was (understandably) not in use.
This is a fantastic Palazzo occupying the top of the old town in Matera, steeped in history but sympathetically updated to provide modern comforts. The views over Matera Sassi are incredible. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating - including opening the parking gates at 4:30am so we could get to our balloon ride.

NorwayWe loved everything about the place.
An absolute beautiful space in an old, very well kept palazzio in the midle of old town. The location is perfect, and the place is so endlessly beautiful, and the roof top where breakfast is served provides you one of the best 360 views of the city. Don’t miss out on their private gallery!

United StatesWhat a strange and wonderful place! It was like a mystery that you had to unfold! Beautiful public rooms full of paintings and antiquities, a stunning roof deck, a charming breakfast room with a lovely breakfast. What a singular location with eerie cries of birds swirling above the property at dusk, a location seemingly on top of the world. The rooms were very comfortable, the staff was friendly and professional, and we couldn't have hoped for a better place from which to explore Matera!

United StatesThis is a tiny thing: The shower/tub set up was a poor design choice. It’s one of those half doors, but the glass is not fixed, so it swings. I guess the idea is you can swing it to enter the shower. But a puddle was inevitable. They could use a vertical bar for safety, too.
The building is wonderful and historical, centrally located just off the Duomo square for seeing the Stassi. A huge plus for us was that the hotel hosts concerts in one of the many large rooms on the first floor, and they were free to us to attend. The staff was lovely, as were the owners who we had a chance to talk with. Breakfast was excellent, too.

SwitzerlandDevil is in the detail. Our room lacked a bit of care in the accessories. There was no kettle or coffee machine for the spontaneous coffee or tea; there only is a hook for one towel in the bathroom with the remainder of towels having to find a place in the small rack near the bathtub. It means used towels and fresh ones have to go on the same rack. Last but not least the breakfast is not on par with other 4* rated hotels. Choice is rather poor although the quality is generally very good.
The building and the location are stunning, so as the rooms some of which have a panoramic view over the Sassi. Very nice and friendly staff and a very good level of service overall. The hotel has its own parking which is a huge plus as you can forget your car for the duration of your stay here.
