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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomNothing, best stay of our trip.
We were met by Aldo outside the police Station where we were able to park on the street for free. Aldo took us in his own car to the Sassi and his apartment. Great location and facilities with breakfast served round the corner in Aldo's art gallery. The breakfast was superb, fruit, yogurt, bread, cheese, freshly sliced meats, cake, tea and coffee. There was so much food Aldo gave us a doggy bag to take away for lunch. Aldo and his wife Rosa couldn't do enough, wonderful hosts.

CanadaWe absolutely loved Matera and our stay at Sax Barisano. Our apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Beautiful the pictures are an exact representation of the room. Very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fabulous, good selection both sweet and savoury, loving put together by our hosts. Aldo and Rosa are wonderful people, always available to help in any way. We felt like we were visiting family. Aldo will pick you up outside the ZTL area and drive you in. He will help find parking for your car as well. We will definitely return to visit our new friends Aldo and Rosa! I highly recommend this B&B.

WOW. Aldo and Rosa are the PERFECT hosts! They made our stay a 12/10 rating. The apartment is perfectly located in sassi. Aldo was such a character and took great pleasure in sharing their beautiful town with us. Breakfast was amazing! Best we had in our month in Italy. So authentic, and shared from the heart. We will definitely be recommending here to anyone who talks to us about travel in Italy. And we are already talking about when we will take the rest of the family back.

United StatesFantastic location in Sasso Barisano with an amazing view from the terrace. Apartment was clean and charmingly furnished, with a modern bathroom and a convenient in-unit washer. Aldo and Rosa were very welcoming hosts - they met us outside the ZTL to help with parking and drove us to the B&B. I wish I spoke Italian so I could learn more about their life stories! Breakfasts were bountiful and delicious. Already thinking of when I can return to this beautiful place.

LithuaniaBeds could be a little bit softer ;)
Our absolutely fantastic host - Aldo! He was very helpful, met us at the entrance to the town and escorted us to the car parking, then drove us in his car to his Bed and Breakfast. He even helped us with our suitcases, very nice. Location - you could hardly find a better location in terms of location in Matera. In the old town, with a great view of the cosy little town square, with restaurants and cafes. It wasn't noisy at all though, in fact the restaurants closed quite early. The apartment was very clean, preserving its authenticity, while being equipped with everything you need. A small kitchen area, a dining table, a clean bath, a single bed downstairs and a double bed on the mezzanine. The AC worked perfectly. The breakfast was fantastic, home cooked food, great coffee, but it was made so much better by the presence of Aldo and his lovely wife. We got all sorts of information about the history of the city, it was very interesting. I highly recommend this place.

DenmarkThe A/C was acting a bit strange, therefore it was too warm in the loft area during the night.
If you know how to appreciate true hospitality and authenticity, this will easily become your favorite place you’ve stayed in Italy. Every corner of the apartment and terrace is authentic and picture - perfect. The hosts are greatly generous, kind and helpful. Don’t expect this to be a high class resort, but more of a traditional, homey stay in grandma’s house. Matera as a city is stunning and this apartment with its location makes it absolutely unforgettable. Make sure to book the room with the balcony as the views and the atmosphere from early morning til late night bring this stay to a whole another level. Overall this was absolutely the most amazing start of my vacation, and you’re missing out a part of Italy if you’re not staying in this apartment!

Brilliant location for visiting the whole of Matera. Aldo and Rosa were excellent hosts and couldn't do enough for us - picking us up at the station, taking us to the bus stop when we left, recommending the best way to see Matera and where to eat, they were wonderful. The accommodation was charming - very comfortable and clean with plenty of amenities. Breakfast was served at the large kitchen table and was delicious. And they insisted we took any leftovers for our lunch! We loved our time at Sax Barisano and were sorry to leave.
