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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

🌟 5/5 Review Staying in this cave accommodation was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The unique setting, combined with the stunning view, created a magical atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The room was beautifully maintained, blending the charm of the historic cave with modern comforts. The staff were exceptional — warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we left with unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Matera!

We had the most beautiful Cave Suite one can imagine. Good bed, good bathroom, everything very clean. The Lady at the Reception was very nice and helpful and gave good information for visiting Matera. Breakfast on the terrace was great. Matera is special, magical. It was a unique experience.

BrazilThe mattress was soft and uncomfortable.
The room is a typical and charming Sassi. It is very clean and the bathroom new; the shower was also great. All the staff are very polite and available for any question! The location is perfect, you can walk anywhere and see everything from there. Even so, the room was very quiet — we couldn’t hear any noise from outside. They also helped us with parking, which was incredibly convenient! The breakfast was amazing.

Fantastic experience! The cave-like appartment is stunning, very well designed. The location is so good that you actually get the best views of Matera right at your doorsteps. The parking option with transfer service, which was recommended by the hotel, was very convenient too.

United StatesCan’t think of anything
The room wasn’t big (it was absolutely as advertised, though) but well designed for maximum comfort and practicality. The location is excellent! And the staff are very professional, they provide helpful information and communicate very well. It is thanks to them that we maximized our time in Matera. Breakfast was also “just right”. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this to anyone.

AustraliaThe only negative was that we were not aware of the traffic restrictions in the ZTL which were in fact communicated to us but only a couple of hours prior to our arrival at which time we were driving to Matera and therefore didn’t see the warnings until we had already entered the ZTL and incurred a fine for doing so. Maybe if the communication could be sent the night before arrival it would have been more helpful. Be aware the minimum fine for entering the ZTL without authorisation is €80. and can rise to over €300. under some circumstances.
Pretty much everything about the property- its location, the staff, the breakfast and the beautiful room was absolutely delightful and made for a wonderful base from which to explore Matera.

CanadaThe location and views were outstanding! We were given a map of all the must see picturesque views and things to do after check in. The room was beautifully decorated and the hosts were amazing. We had a very early check out the next day before breakfast started, and they were kind enough to bring some treats the night before to our room - for our long journey ahead. I would definitely visit again.

United KingdomEverything was great, if one thing could be changed , it would possibly be the serving of the breakfast buffet- felt a bit greedy if you asked for more than one selection- we all would have preferred to help ourselves, rather than lining up asking for what we’d like, but otherwise we thoroughly loved our stay here.
