How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThis B&B is unique, built into or dug out of the stone hill on which the nearby cathedral sits. It is very much in harmony with the rest of this remarkable stone city, Matera. Designed by architect Lorenzo Rota, whose wife Amabile runs the B&B, it is superbly well-equipped, elegant, atmospheric and comfortable. It also could not be more central to the highlights of Matera. Our gracious hosts picked us up from the bus station when we arrived and drove us back to the bus at the end of our stay. Thank you, Lorenzo and Amabile, for all your kindness.
Thank you for your appreciations. We are happy that your stay in our room and in our city was pleasant. We wish you a good continuation of your holidays and a good back to home.

Verified reviewThe apartment was in a great location in the historic centre. It was clean, comfortable and had everything one needed to hand. The host was very super friendly and welcoming and supplied us with brochures on Matera etc. and very clear instructions on how to use everything in the apartment. She even gave us some focaccia and sweets to welcome us which was a lovely touch.
There was nothing to dislike.
It was a real pleasure meeting you and hosting you. Thank you very much

Verified reviewAlthough it was short on natural light the artificial lighting was exceptional. The design and fit out of the room was high quality. The hosts were very generous with their time and with the treats provided.
Breakfast was a voucher for a local cafe/bar which didn’t open early.

Verified reviewHost is absolutely lovely and very helpful. Location is fantastic, next to the most beautiful church in Matera and with one of the best views. There were also nice touches that really made a difference, such as Bluetooth speakers built into the walls, Nespresso coffee machine, unique ambient lighting, and various snacks on arrival. There is also lots of information provided by the host, such as restaurant recommendations (we wish we paid more attention to those) and walking tours.
The boiler takes a little time to heat up, but this was easy enough to figure out and the host was very helpful. The walking tour on offer was in Italian, but they did give us discount for the English version!
Thanks, it was a pleasure to have you as guests
