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 reviewThe location and our view/ terrace were incredible.
They hosted a wedding on the Saturday. We had paid a lot of money for the few nights we were there on our honeymoon and the music was very loud. The staff did not handle it well.

Verified reviewLocation and uniqueness of accommodation
The restaurant was disappointing and overpriced
Dear Mrs Sharon, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to know you appreciated our location and the uniqueness of our accommodation — aspects we work hard to deliver consistently to all our guests. We’d like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points. At the moment of the check out, the feedback we received was very positive, with the only exception being your restaurant experience — an issue for which we apologized repeatedly from the outset. A member of our restaurant team also made themselves available to resolve the matter immediately, including offering a discount, but only in the end one of your group of 4 expressed the dislike about one of the dishes. We recognize our error, and we take full responsibility for that. It’s an important point of reflection for us, and we will consider it carefully to improve how we manage similar situations in the future. That said, we do feel it’s important to highlight that at the time of departure, your overall comment was: “everything was perfect, except for the restaurant.” Given this, we believe the overall experience should not be entirely judged by one aspect, especially considering that all other services, as you also acknowledged, met the high standards we uphold. Finally, we kindly note that referring to the brand in a negative context doesn’t reflect the overall quality of the stay, as — as you experienced firsthand — our team is dedicated to maintaining the standards associated with it across all departments. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and offer an experience that fully reflects the level of service we strive to provide every day. Warm regards, SANT'ANGELO TEAM

Verified reviewI stayed at Sant'Angelo Hotel for one night and I wouldn’t choose any other place for my stay in Matera! The hotel is located right in the heart of the old town, and from the moment I arrived, I felt completely immersed in the history of the city. The staff is incredibly welcoming and caring, always ready to help and ensure you have a pleasant stay. When we arrived, the driver Francesco was already waiting for us at the parking lot, ready to accompany us to the hotel. The first treat my partner and I received was a detailed explanation of the city map, which gave us a great first impression of Matera, along with a refreshing welcome drink. After that, they personally accompanied us to our room through a short walk, which made us feel truly special. We slept in a cave room with a private patio: an unforgettable experience that really made us feel connected to the past. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying the experience of staying in a room with a view! Highly recommended!

Verified reviewMagnificent location
Description/ picture of rooms did not match with reality.
Dear Peter, Thank you for the time to leave your review. Regarding the rooms you chose: the panoramic palazzo, room 99, is in the picture 7 of the gallery instead the cave with the patio, room 64, is in the picture 5 of the gallery. I would like to clarify to the future guests, based on this review, that the hotel has 23 historical rooms all different each other, that are categorized using the main characteristics of the rooms. But they are all different each others, because they are adapted to the original shape. For this reason, in the booking.com confirm, we suggest to indicate in advance if you prefer a specific room from the pictures in the gallery, otherwise the assignment is randomly. We understand the taste is subjective, for this reason when you asked to change the room, we did our best to do it, even if the hotel was almost fully booked. Moreover, there was a room change without any extra cost exceptionally. We are sorry there is no mention about it, especially in the staff and services opinions. We hope you can come back in the future, we will be happy to welcome you again in a room closer to your tastes. Kind regards, SANT'ANGELO TEAM
