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.).

Our accommodation was in the heart of Matera with a large, private terrace offering spectacular views of this unique town, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property was beautifully renovated, in-keeping with its historic past, and immaculately clean. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay there longer! Our host Giacomo was very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be staying there again.

Giacomo was such a lovely and friendly host. Pietragialla far exceeded our expectations. The view from our terrace was beyond incredible, the room was comfortable and kept cool, and we enjoyed the little breakfast spread available. It was very conveniently located, a quick walk from parking outside of the ZTL but very close to everything we wanted to see in the historic center. We only wish we were able to spend more time in Matera!

IrelandThe prepacked Breakfast was very sweet (Nutella, jams, fette biscottate with teas and no coffee) which is already in the room. Fresh croissants delivered to the rooms in the morning or some sort of breakfast area is best. Seating area for the belvedere rooms can be improved to add in some couches.
We booked the entire rooms of Pietragialla and we loved the location and the accommodation. It’s a magical place. We highly recommend it. It’s peaceful and clean with unbelievable views (belvedere room). We would stay again.

United KingdomThe only shame was that we only booked for one night. Next time we'll have to stay longer so that we can make the most of the amazing facilities!
This was the most amazing place to stay to experience the Sassi in the best way. The shower cut from the rock was just unbelievable! We had the best of both worlds as the other room had a beautiful terrace with a view of the cathedral so we all went to eat breakfast there. We had everything we could want and Giacomo was the most attentive host and so friendly. Amazing experience for how much we paid. We can't wait to come back!

My wife and I have traveled to many countries and Matera is the most interesting city we have visited. It has an amazing history dating back thousands of years. Our cave room was very nice with a very large terrace with great views of old Matera - there are many nice restaurants very near the hotel - we were able to walk to all of the major sites - we would like to thank Giacomo for his hospitality - he is great host and even provided transportation to and from the bus station!

Canadaour overall experience in Pietragialla was superb! the host, Giacomo, was amazing. He’s very friendly and very thoughtful of the services he provide. He picked us up and dropped off at the bus station. Our room (Belvedere) has the best view of Sassi (Old Matera) from its huge private balcony. Simple breakfast and few bottles of assorted non-alcoholic drinks were included (replenished daily). the room was pristine, and comfortable. housekeeping is daily. the location is perfect for walking and sightseeing. We highly recommend this hotel.

United StatesOne of the most unique stays we've had, and we travel a lot. I would go back to Matera just to stay here! This is quite a magical place- you are literally staying in a cave and the bathroom was like an ancient Roman bath- AMAZING. And Giacomo was the perfect host. Couldn't ask for more. Perfect location close to everything and within walking distance to the main piazza and trails.
