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.).

We absolutely loved this place! We came as a family of 4 with my 2 daughters aged 5 and 7. My 7 year old says it's her favourite place on our 2 week Italian holiday and wants to come to stay every year! The cool inside the cave was a welcome oasis from the July Matera heat! We were blown away by the size (huge), stylish interior design and modernity of our cave dwelling suite. Even better than the pictures! Loved that we were told the story behind the room we stayed in. The owners are so kind and welcoming. They provided recommendations etc. Location was fantastic and easily walkable to everything (even with our young kids)! Breakfast was simple continental style with a few hot options on buffet but perfectly satisfying and all 4 of us were happy enough. Excellent granola for me, the girls loved the chocolate cake and savoury foccacia type bites that my husband enjoys! Matera is such a unique city and definitely worth the visit...and if you do....stay here!

GermanyThe breakfast wasn’t filled up once it was served. However, there was still a lot which was offered, so it wasn’t a problem. The cave can “stink” a little bit and be a bit humid, but this is just the nature of it. One little thing, we were sleeping in a cave which was build by bricks - some rooms are truly a cave, so this was a little bit disappointing, assuming all rooms would be caves.
Very cute hotel in the middle of the Sassi - if you book this accomodation, you can completely enjoy the Sassi without taking a step out of it for the time of your stay. The staff recommends you things to do. The breakfast was very great. The hotel room was very cozy, they even wrote a letter about who has lived in the cave before.

Our stay at Le Dodici Lune was wonderful. The property was beautiful and the room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They showed us important sites and booked us a taxi to get us back to our car so we didn’t have to lug our luggage through the many many stairways of Matera.

United KingdomReception closed for a period during the day. A little tricky to find with a lot of steps to negotiate.
Away from the busier main tourist areas. Delightful ‘cave’ rooms and beautiful dining/breakfast area. Lovely breakfast.

United StatesEverything was great!
This was a really cool and unique hotel experience! The room was well appointed with little amenities and the bed was comfy. Of course, it was a little dark, but we fully expected that as it was in a cave! The breakfast was a very generous and delicious spread. The staff was very friendly and accommodating! We arrived when reception was closed but called the front desk and they gave us the door code to leave our luggage in the lobby until reception reopened, which I appreciated.
