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.).

AustraliaThere was nothing at all that we didn’t like !
Enza and Alessia were the best, made us feel totally at home. Our room was clean and comfortable, the pool was very welcome after a hot day in Matera. Enza and Alessia couldn’t do enough for us, so friendly and caring. We would highly recommend and will be back, hopefully soon!

United StatesLocation, but not really…. It’s outside of Sassi bu you can still walk there pretty easily.
Great staff, super helpful. Room was beautiful and the pool was refreshing on such a hot day. Left super early in the morning so they made a nice breakfast box for us to take!!

AustraliaTravelling Italy from Australia we found a true gem in the most romantic place Matera. Hotel Casino Ridola was an exceptional stay with the most amazing and attentive staff. Alessia gave us the warmest welcome you can expect after long and exhausting travel. Thank you Ridola , we will remember you forever.

SwedenBreakfast buffé a bit understocked during the typical morning "rush" of guests; Empty plates (bread, eggs, fruit...) slowly re-filled, patience and time required by the guests.
Fantastic staff that performed above and beyond! Even ventured off-site to get us late-night pizzas...!

United KingdomA lovely hotel all round, but the fact it has on site parking and is only a 10 / 15 minute walk from the start of the 'old town' makes it a winner on location and convenience. The staff were so friendly and helpful, supplying us with a map of the town and suggesting a walking route with the top things to visit, which was a great help seeing as we only had a day to explore Matera. Rooms are nice and spotlessly clean, and the hotel's outdoor and pool space is very peaceful, a nice place to sit and read or have a drink.

United KingdomWhat's not to like.
Amazing staff that went above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The hotel was clean and quite, on the outskirts of the sassi approximately 10 minute walk, lots of steps though. Our room 105 was on the 1st floor and had a huge terrace with a far reaching view. Breakfast was good lots of choice but not any hot options but that was fine by us. We were recommended a number of restaurants and bars to visit plus attractions. Pool was very nice not heated but still lovely and quite, had it to ourselves mainly as hotel only has 9 rooms.

Brilliant location, a few hundred metres from Matera’s historic centre yet superbly quiet & calm with plenty of secure parking & a very pleasant pool to relax by. Extremely nice & plentiful breakfast served in a light & airy breakfast room - which you really appreciate after all Matera’s cave dwellings! Hotel staff very helpful, gave us town maps & good recommendations for restaurants within 5-10 minutes walk.
