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.).

United KingdomAbsolutely brilliant service, Giuseppe picked us up from the car park and gave us loads of information about Matera on the way to the hotel. He was also kind enough to give suggestions as to the "must see" locations and beat restaurants. The room was massive for the price and with air con. The views just outside the hotel were stunning.

Hong KongThe only problem we had was the soft bed which was too slouchy. We had some back pain after 3 nights.
Staying in the cave is a great experience. The bathroom and the tub are great! The hotel is stylish in a minimalist sense. Staff is simply cheerful and helpful.

SwitzerlandStayed at Basiliani Hotel in Matera and loved the experience! The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, blending the historic charm of the Sassi with modern comfort. Location is perfect—quiet yet close to all main sights. Breakfast had tasty local options, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Note: parking is not allowed as it’s in a restricted zone, and Google Maps may not take you directly to the reception, so it’s best to follow the hotel’s instructions. Highly recommend!

United StatesStaying in a modified cave that's thousands of years old was a very unique experience. Great space, location, views, breakfast was delicious, everything was easier than expected. Pickup at a local parking lot was perfect. Would definitely stay longer & recommend to anyone interested in visiting this place.

AustraliaAt night the mezzanine level was hotter, and the kids found the AC just couldnt cut it up there.
The location is great, in the sassi, adjacent to the sassi area acquired by the government and set aside to eventually be developed as a museum. So it is quiet, with gorgeous gorge views. Most helpful was the free shuttle from and to our car park, and to where our walking tour started (38 degree heat). Breakfast was good. We were in a studio mezzanine to sleep our adult kids up top, the privacy was good. We had a bath too!

The room was exceptional! So well designed and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was superb - with fresh fruit, cereals, eggs, yogurt, cheese, meats and fresh bakery goods! Plus, coffee and capuchino was available in my room. The staff - particularly Mary - helped me with pick up times on numerous occasions - she was effecient and extremely helpful in a stressful situation when at a last minute a tour was canceled. Also the driver - name starts with an M - sorry can;t remember - he was the ipitomy of patience - as I needed assistance with luggage and getting to tours on time. The VERY BEST place to stay in Matera - oh, an a quiet area!!!

The staff at Basiliani couldn't be more helpful. From picking us up and dropping us off at the free parking area, to making dinner reservations and carrying our luggage from the van to our room. The view over the Gravina is spectacular! The breakfast and the service at breakfast is fantastic. We loved staying in the 'cave' room. The shower/spa was one of a kind.

United StatesExtraordinary! Excellent service: the hotel is in the pedestrian zone so they give you options where to park (we parked for free in a university lot nearby) and pick you up / deliver you to your car. They carry your suitcases for you to your room since stairs and some walking is required. Rooms are incredible, each one in a separate « cave » completely refurbished. Heated floors in the bathroom, smart Tv. Amazing breakfast, incredible view from the door of our room, friendly and helpful staff.
