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 Dimora di Chiara is located in the historical center of Matera with a breathtaking view on the old city. We spent 2 nights there, me, my wife and 2 children (10 y old). Luca and his staff have been super friendly and helpful, giving us great suggestions about the restaurants, city attractions and also about a Guided Tour of the City (warmly suggested) . For breakfast we got complementary local backed “focaccia and panzerotti”
Everything has been perfect

Verified reviewThe host was very nice. We were picked up on the square close to the appartment. The bed was very nice.
The shower was old and leaking in the side. Making the water pressure low.

Verified reviewAn ideal base for exploring the historic center of Matera. The rooms are partly underground, allowing you to feel like the cave dwellers from 6,000 years ago. A very atmospheric place, well worth recommending.
Everything was ok.

Verified reviewLocation was prime however we had difficulty finding the property due to Matera's geography. However the host was really helpful and he came out to guide us to the property when we were lost. They were even nice to get us a room upgrade. The bathroom door was a bit troublesome but we stayed for one night and it didn't bother much as otherwise the rooms were pristine and the hosts were excellent and helpful.

Verified reviewWe had a lovely one night stay in the queen suit after a last minute decision to extend our stay in Matera. The suit is very spacious with stunning views from every window. The service was great! Even though we booked it so late minute, the owners helped with check in as soon as possible and offered to assist us with tours and restaurant recommendations and reservations. The shower and bed were very comfortable. It was lovely to have a drink/breakfast on the little patio, staring at the gorgeous sassi. It has all the amenities for a very comfortable stay, including a hair dryer, much-needed air conditioning and small coffee/breakfast station with toast and jam, juice, water and coffee. The location is fantastic, near all the main sights. I would however advise to pack light as there are still a few steps that you need to take and the steers of Matera are quite slippery. Just note, as advertised there is no WiFi in the rooms, only the reception area. Just note that the Google maps location is wrong. Thankfully the owners will arrange to meet you at a meeting point and take you to the accommodation.

Verified reviewCentral location in the old town Great selection of restaurants nearby Attentive staff Good communication
No access to wifi as I had read about in the reviews before booking. Access to the room is via a locked gate. It would be helpful to have a working light above the gate for safety and ease of getting in. It didn’t affect us or matter to us but there wasn’t a bathrobe or coffee maker as listed.

Verified reviewTeresa is an exceptional host, met us to lead us to her facility, showed us our room, suggested and booked on a city walking tour, which was excellent and great value. She suggested a few restaurants and made us a reservation. The breakfast provided was superb, everything was fresh and beautifully presented in the courtyard. Teresa was very prompt and detailed in answering questions prior to booking and also after booking. We would recommend this boat and site to everyone.
The tv worked but no stations which was not a big deal at all because we only slept in the room as we were out all day and evening.

Verified reviewIt is interesting to have the experience in a cave but that is really it. It's very humid in the room so we had the AC on at night, it gets cold. But like I said, that's the experience you pay for. The price is ok cuz there are a lot more expensive alternatives, I wouldn't bother with those. The location is very good, the staff is nice, they help you with whatever you need, they arranged a city tour and gave advice on restaurants. The room is clean, big. The breakfast is nice and coffee great!
