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 KingdomCouple of minor niggles. Felt the manager could have been bit more receptive, we asked some Qs about history of area and local restaurants but he was brief and non-commital. Also somewhat disappointed with breakfast with nice fresh items in fridge but sealed bags of bread and croissants and paper plates isn't a great experience. Many other B&Bs we visited in Puglia had arrangements with local establishments to offer a light breakfast and feel that's something the hotel should consider to improve experience.
Very nice bedroom and dining area inside, lots of available space, in central area of Sassi with pleasant seating area outside. Comfortable bed and good shower.

On arrival our host was so helpful, he assisted us to our room with our bags, was informative and even though we arrived quite early he arranged for our room to be ready. The room was fabulous with everything you would need for your stay, the fridge was well stocked with food and drink and ample breads, biscuits ,jams and yogurt

United KingdomBeautiful room above reception. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Very close to bars, restaurants and galleries. Nice walk up the hill or around the road to many of the sites. We booked parking at TA&CO - we did find the open/close times of this car park a little restrictive, but the shuttle to the front door was excellent and helped us get our bearings.

The location is amazing, right in the center of the Sassi. The room is sensational, not only is it in the rock and has an original "cisterne" in the bathroom, but we also had a wine cellar in our room! The breakfast was also very nice, available in the room. And the service was great: very informative and helpful (e.g. in arranging taxis). Can only recommend!

United KingdomI little bit of a trek, mostly uphill, to get from reception to the location for an old decrepit codger with wrecked knees but if you come to Matera you kind of expect a lot of steps.

United KingdomThey provided disposable plates and cutlery to eat breakfast which we found odd. We located a couple of plates and one bowl in a cupboard and used those. Also the hot water took a very long time to come through and then went on and off intermittently during a shower.
Spacious accommodation in a great location. Easy to walk around the unique old town and to get into the new town for a meal in the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful.

AustraliaMatera is an ancient town, now famous for its cave dwellings. Residence San Giorgio is situated in several buildings, some of which are located in or above caves. Access is almost always up a hill and cars are not permitted . The suite we had was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. It was serviced each day and generous offerings for a delicious breakfast were left for us to prepare at our leisure. The sights and sounds; galleries and museums of Matera are spectacular. Bring good walking shoes and the energy to explore, climb hills and discover.
