How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Verified reviewGorgeous view, and amazing location. Very nice finishings and beds too, notably well appointed for an AirBnB. Having a 4-5 minute walk to two different public sand beaches was amazing.
No beach towels, but that is a small thing! Otherwise we loved it.

Verified reviewSuperb location right in the heart of the old town and so close to one of the most divine swimming spots ever. A lovely balcony and a stunning roof terrace. The apartment was very well-equipped and extremely comfortable. We were warmly welcomed by Angelo who provided a generous array of complimentary snacks and drinks and was very helpful with restaurant and other recommendations.
There was nothing negative! The walk from the car park, although it took about 10 minutes, was flat and really no trouble at all.

Verified reviewA very cool, stylish apartment in the absolute prime location in the old town- everything right outside the front door! Parking was about an easy 7 min walk away, no stairs to negotiate with luggage but cobblestones. If you have mobility issues there are plenty of stairs up to the apartment, stairs in the apartment and stairs up to the terrace - all very typical in Italy, but if you want views, you have to have stairs! The apartment was exceptionally well equipped with everything you could possibly think of. Beds were very comfy, one bedroom is small with no window, but we were more than comfortable. The master is spacious - but due to the apartments industrial styling, one wall of both bedrooms is a frosted type glass, so if you love a dark room, pack an eye mask! Bathrooms were modern and had everything you need supplied, nice linens and towels, washing machine and iron. The stand out feature is the roof terrace - it is gorgeous with comfy bean bags and perfect views - we spent most of our time up there🥰 Thank you Angelo for a warm welcome and sharing your awesome apartment- we loved it!

Verified reviewPerfect location. The top outdoor area was absolutely amazing. We spent most of a day relaxing there. The views may be some of the best in Otranto’s lodging. The apt. was well equipped.
The main entrance is on the floor with the bedrooms and the rest of the apt is upstairs. The bedrooms are not very private.

Verified reviewLocation and rooftop terrace are exceptional. Host was extremely nice and generous.
Guest should be aware, that both bedrooms are directly next to one another, and one bedroom has no separate window or outside ventilation. This is by no means a complaint, just an observation.

Verified reviewGreat location & views 👌 Spacious, well equipped apartment. Really enjoyed our stay.
Just know there are a number of stairs up to the apartment and a flight in the apartment to kitchen, lounge and second bedroom. It was not a problem for us but could be for some people.

Verified reviewLocation. The view from the terrace
Too many stairs. The apartment is developed on three floors with steep stairs, and an additional stairs to get to the apartment. Not an easy place to enjoy for older people. The second bedroom had no windows
