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 reviewBreakfast was typical italian breakfast. Plenty of cold meats and pastries. Coffee was great. The owner organised a taxi to take us to our next destination and provided us with some nice options for restaurants. We used the outdoor hot tub on one of our days and were able to avail of a massage.
There is no lift, we were in Italy for while so had 2 large cases, was a bit of annoyance hauling them up the stairs, but it is an old and quite charming building so I can appeciate that there may be difficulties installing a lift.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very good and the location was within walking distance of Lecce's historical district
We arrive late and did not have the code to get into the house. We had to have a near restaurant call Stefano to get the code. The code should have been sent a week ahead by email. Parking is a problem on the street and a garage was available fairly nearby. Finding the garage was a hassle. Our rooms were two flights up requiring lugging our luggage up about 40 steps.

Verified reviewLocation is good
I have been traveling the world and only gave good reviews but this hotel is a joke and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The name is Ada suites & Spa and the website shows great photos but they are nothing like reality. The spa is in fact not available and when I asked to use it they said they need 4 hours to prepare it. As I checked in at 5pm, the spa would be closed in 4 hours (9pm). When I explained that this was never informed to us in any of their descriptions or messages about our check in time, the owner said I would also have to pay 120 euros to use it with my husband and child (almost the night rate). Before the owner says the 4 hours notice it’s in his webpage, he just included it after I explained how disappointing this is.. The website shows the spa as an amenity available to the guests but that’s not the case. In order not to charge the owner wanted me to cancel my booking.com reservation to save himself the commission (which is very dodgy). The rooms are on the second floor with a long set of stairs that was never described in their adds. My husband is in his 60s and carried all the heavy luggage on his own while the young staff was simply watching him. The lady who deals with the guests not only is rude but also doesn’t speak English and makes no effort to be pleasant. The room was filthy, no proper linen provided (when I asked for blankets the owner said they are not used in summer despite the fact we received them in every hotel we have been during this trip as everyone turns on the aircon) . The hotel advertises free parking as if it was their own parking but it’s simply street parking. We paid the same rate for incredible hotels around Puglia that offered much much nicer services. This is like a youth hostel that advertises themselves as a four star hotel.
I'm only answering for the reader, because the lady who identified herself doesn't deserve my attention. Upon arrival, the guests were immediately hostile toward my assistant because they expected her to take them to the FIRST FLOOR (as described in our information, not the second, as there are no rooms there). She politely and kindly helped them, but that wasn't enough. They immediately asked to use the spa, and for free, even though it's clearly stated in all our information that it's an extra, private service. To avoid any misunderstandings, I also set up a welcome message when booking, which again specifies that "this is an extra, private service, and to ensure privacy, we require a reservation at least 4 hours in advance, subject to availability." Nothing, they demanded immediate and free use, threatening a bad review. My colleague, verbally assaulted by the guests, called me asking for support. I then rushed there despite being 45 km away, and once there, always with the courtesy and politeness that distinguishes us, I explained and even showed them the messages they had received where this information was written, but they stubbornly continued to threaten. I offered to let them use it the next morning, but nothing. Obviously, the dirt and unsuitable linens are fantasies aimed at discrediting them more than us. At checkout, I tried somehow to talk some sense into the poor world traveler who had been "cheated," and I even offered them a small discount because it was clear that was the blackmail, charging €120 for three people in July in the center of Lecce instead of... we're reading the rest. The fact that they weren't allowed to use the spa immediately and free of charge without a reservation has, as promised, been reflected in this review, which defines them more than us. Stefano

Verified reviewThe location was good. The host was particularly helpful arranging private parking at a competitive rate and giving us good recommendations about restaurants and bars in Lecce. The breakfast was excellent and the roof terrace an unexpected bonus.
The shower pressure was vey low. Although it was great to have a fridge and kettle in the room - the fridge was located within a couple of feet of the head side of the bed and annoying whilst sleeping. There was a safe for valuables - but it was not bolted down to anything so we didn’t use it.

Verified reviewA comfortable and large room, communication with the host was good and the location was great. No issues at all, breakfast in particular was very good with a good range of home made items. Perhaps some complimentary tea/coffee in the rooms would be a nice addition for guests, but still a great stay! Thank you.
