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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsI travel a lot and I am very picky in the places where I stay. This location has been very satisfying. I was staying in another hotel but I had to leave there immediately. I drove to Lecce and halfway I booked Palazzo Bignami (30 minutes before arriving), solely based on the great reviews. I texted with Liana about my arrival and 30 minutes later I was greeted by her. Liana and Enzo, the couple who own the B&B, are so kind. They have a background in interior design and this is noticeable in the B&B. Spaces and rooms are decorated with such detail, every time you look somewhere, you will see something new. The B&B is very clean! I think hygiene is important and I was very satisfied. The bed felt new, the bed linnen felt new, the floors and furniture were clean. My compliments! The rooms are large, so are the sizes of the beds. For Italian standards, the shower cabinet is of a large size, which is great. The sun blinds in front of the window make minimal noise when you put them up or down, which is nice when you are trying to sleep and your neighbour uses them. You will hear nothing. Lastly, the street is very quiet, so you have a great sleep! The breakfast is of a high standard. Lots of products to choose from and a great cup of coffee. The location is great. It is 100 meters located outside of the old city centre, which puts you in a place of tranquility but with a short walk in Lecce’s buzzing city centre. It is also a 5 minute walk from the train station. Parking is free in front of the B&B. Lastly, you should ask Liana and Enzo for tips in the region. Enzo gave me the tip of driving on the east coast from north to south, as this coastal road is beautiful. Well, beautiful is an understatement as it was breathtaking. Liana and Enzo will give you great tips. I am going to visit Lecce again and I will definitely stay at Palazzo Bignami again. Best stay ever.

United StatesEverything was great
Amazing decor and so very clean. Beds were super comfortable, shower was wonderful. Beautiful breakfast room with everything you need and the best breakfast was served. Wine or beer available to purchase if desired. Great location close to the old city and many restaurants. Host recommended a great one. Too cool to enjoy the rooftop terrace but we did check it out and it’s very large and comfortable. Free parking on the road in front. very comfortable. I would highly recommend.

IsraelEverything was perfect.
The room was beautifully decorated, very large and comfortable (including the bed and pillows) and impeccably clean. The photos are great, but the reality far exceeds the photos. The breakfast was delicious. The hosts were lovely, and in particular, extremely helpful with our dietary limitations. The location was a very short and pleasant walk to the main sites of the historic center. The atmosphere in the gorgeous breakfast room - in the morning and sporadically during the day was fantastic with interesting guests interacting and chatting. I can't recommend Palazzo Bignami enough!

United StatesThe B&B is not in the heart of the old town but was a quick walk to get there and to many sites and restaurants. Breakfast choices are abudant and all tasted amazing. During non breakfast hours water is available and you can purchase wine and beer on the honor system. I have been obsessed with the design of the breakfast room and the whole B&B. Take time to visit the rooftop to enjoy a glass of wine and see an amazing view of the city. We had no problem finding free parking near by.

CanadaBreakfast was impeccable - Owner Liana bakes everything from scratch and it is just delicious Rooms are very quite and super cozy Owners are always available if you need them, to give you beach towels, advice on where to go eat, they also pay particular attention to your special food needs. Minnie - the little house mascot is the cutest little thing, made our stay there all the more joyous! Lecce is a wonderful town and I would definitely go back and stay at Palazzo Bignami!

AustraliaSpacious, clean with a magnificent breakfast - backed up with friendly hosts and their well behaved dog. Although we didnt get to use (too much to see in Lecce) the roof top garden is magnificent. This accommodation is just one block outside of the old town, which meant free white line parking, and easy to drive to and find a park without having to worry about road and parking rules.
