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.).

The location was perfect for us. Very easy to explore Matera Sassis but also the more modern part of Matera which is a beautiful city! The view was gorgeous overlooking Sasso Bassano. Loved the spacious terrasse. The bed was very comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. Claudio was always responding quickly and his dad brought over things we needed. Very kind.

NetherlandsWe had really nice stay, however having such a pearl like this apartment I would pay more attention to cleaning. The kitchen was greasy, especially the kettle was covered with grease. Also the bed sheet had some blood spots. In the kitchen some spoons, fork and knives would be very useful. Anyway, this is just direction what can be better, if I will come back to Matera I will definitely choose this place once again!
The view is amazing from the window as well as from terrace. It's in the historical center, so everywhere you can get on foot. Contact with the host was very good. We didn't ask for a bed for our baby, but host organized it for us, which was very nice.

The view (though we didn't have the room with the egg chair) was still beautiful. Right on the cusp of the new town looking into the old town (the Sassi).

United StatesThis apartment didn't have parking included when I thought it did. Parking IS available on very specific streets (very inexpensively) near the apartment. Figuring out street parking for our rental car was pretty stressful at first. Also, google maps was definitely a bit off on the exact address of the property so be ready to call the host for help finding the unit. Re: future guests, after people book, I'd recommend the host send them a message if they are driving via rental car, just explain they should (in case they can't get one of the few free spots) download the EasyPark app and just park in a blue spot near the place after dropping off their luggage. I think it was less than 10 euros per day for these blue street spots and it was super easy to add time daily via the app on the phone daily. This should NOT deter people from booking this place, it's AWESOME! More of an fyi on a bit more parking info before arrival for host with people once they book. The host was fantastic, helping us navigate this over the phone via WhatsApp but just trying to help make it smoother for future guests with a rental car. 95% of parking near the place required a residential local parking permit, fyi. Again, it's worth it and you will find a blue paid spot... eventually! :)
The view was incredible!

FinlandTop location on the edge of Sassi, the old and beautiful part of the Matera. The view from the apartment was really stunning! The apartment was lovely, very clean and we slept well in the confortable bed. The roof top terrace was magnificent! It was easy to park car near the apartment. The neighborhood was quiet and the host very helpful! It was easy to walk anywhere in Matera from this location.

FinlandThe apartment was dirty - especially the floors. There were like no utensils at all, so don’t expect to cook there. The directions to arrive to the apartment (by car) were poor. We suggest you to drive the Via Tommaso Stigliano till the end , so you are basically at the door to drop your luggage. There are steep and narrow stairs upstairs, where the bedroom and a wardrobe are, so keep that in mind. The terrasse is huge, but limited furnitures and the cushions on the chairs were worn out and dirty and one chair was totally brioken, so the place is not well kept - but of course there is ”the view”. The place is max for 2-3 nights stay.
The view was absolutely amazing from the large window as well as from the terrasse. The location was about perfect as it can get.

United KingdomMinor details - we didn’t love the pillows, big and firm, but this is personal taste. We had to unplug the fridge as this was noisy at night and the cabinet it sits on would move every time you opened the door. Everything else was great.
The view lived up to our expectations. Communication with host was great and we found the location was perfect being on the edge of old and new Matera. You could see the sun rising over the Sassi from the window. The shower was really good.
