Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWhat a wonderful town and fantastic place to stay. Serena was so communicative on where to park our car, how to catch the bus to the old town and directions to the accommodation. Make sure you travel light as there are plenty of stairs. The accommodation has lots of food treats and drinks etc to help yourself. Serena also had someone drop off some delicious focaccia to us one afternoon. One of the most majestic towns with so much to see and do, including the big walk over to the caves. Definitely stay in the old town and stay here. A great terrace with great views to relax on too. 5/5

NorwayA lot of steps. So a no go if you are in a wheelchair.
I went on a spontaneous trip to Matera and booked into this B&B as I wanted to live in the middle of the Sassi di Matera and I´m so happy I chose this place!. The placement is right in the middle of the old town with a gorgeous view, both a day time and during the night. It´s easy to get to from the closest road where taxis/cars or buses can drive. The room was really nice, all with different personalities, clean and it´s clear that the owners want to give it it´s own personality with arty gadgets and cute small details. And it´s just off the worst tourist route so you can feel relaxed here. Its a short walk to everything (Lot´s of steps though). The view from the terrace is as I said quite spectacular with both the Sassi, sunrise and the caves on the other side of the valley. Was supposed to stay 2 nights but extended it one more since I loved it so much. And much of that is because of the exceptional service, help and friendliness of the owner, must be the best host I encountered in ages :-D Helped so much before I arrived, during and when I was about to leave. Felt really welcome here and would recommend this cute, small quirky B&B for all it´s worth :-D

AustraliaThe private terrace has magical views. Great for aperitivo’s. Serena was great-she met us at the station, and dropped fresh baked items-which we really appreciated. Shared kitchen was fully stocked-this would be an ideal location for two or three couples travelling together or meeting up.

United KingdomThe only criticism I could give is that it would have been nice to meet the host at some point during the stay. We were in contact by WhatsApp, but you can't beat face to face contact.
The location in the Sassi area of Matera was superb. There was a great view of the cathedral and across the gorge that the town is built on from the shared terrace. The bedroom was very spacious and had a high barrelled ceiling. We had access to the kitchen/dining area in which we could help ourselves to fruit, cakes, snacks and drinks. Information on where to park was provided, and the shuttle bus that runs down into the Sassi area.

SloveniaExcellent location in the very center of the town. Although the accommodation does not include breakfast - my daughter and I were in for a surprise. A delicious breakfast buffet with a wide selection of delicacies. Parking space in the garage is only 5 euros/day. There is a bus stop on the top floor of the parking garage. The bus takes you to the very center of Matera. Simple logistics really.

United KingdomThe stairs are very poorly lit and need to have a hand rail and extra lighting put in. Tricky to navigate, especially with bags. Coming in at night from the street outside is also tricky - another light is needed here. Check in details given at the last minute, so slightly rushed. Breakfast was ok but could be better.
The view from the terrace is amazing! Excellent location . But be prepared for a climb up lots of steps as its a pedestrianised area. Worth it for the views though. Serena is good on communication and was very helpful in giving us a lift on the last day. Room and bathroom both very good.
