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 reviewWe stayed at Adele e il Duca in mid-June for a short 4-day trip and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect for us. Slightly outside the busy historic center, it offered peace and quiet while still being close enough to reach everything easily. It’s about a 45-minute walk to the city center, which we didn’t mind at all. We do recommend taking the charming backstreets instead of the main road, which is busier and less atmospheric, though still fine. The property’s position near major roads also made it very convenient to explore the wider region by car. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a refined and cozy interior. There was access to a shared garden full of beautiful flowers. Even though it wasn’t private, it still felt peaceful and pleasant, and we barely saw the other guests during our stay. It created a lovely, relaxing atmosphere and you almost forgot you were near a main road. Despite our initial concern about street noise, it was completely quiet inside. The air conditioning worked well. As warm-blooded people we wouldn’t have minded if it had been just a bit stronger, but overall it kept us comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the entire space felt welcoming and well maintained. Parking was easy. We always found a spot in a nearby side street without any hassle. Breakfast was simple but just right for us. There was a selection of fruit juices, two croissants, yogurt, cookies and toast with jam or Nutella, and of course coffee. As a lovely gesture, we were treated to a delicious pasticciotto at the end of our stay, which was such a nice surprise and a perfect local touch. Our host Giuseppe was incredibly kind and helpful, always reachable via WhatsApp if we had any questions. He made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, Adele e il Duca is a peaceful, stylish and well-located place to stay. It’s ideal if you want a balance between quiet relaxation and easy access to Lecce and the surrounding area.

Verified reviewThe room and bathroom ‘Duca’ was spacious, spotless and beautifully decorated. Parking around the corner and a 5 minute drive to the centre of Lecce. We enjoyed the breakfast which included fresh croissants every morning. Our host Giuseppe provided us with clear check-in instructions, loads of information and tips for exploring Puglia and recommendations for restaurants. We really appreciated the Puglian welcome gift in our room, a bottle of wine and taralli. At breakfast on our last morning we were treated to delicious pasticciotto.

Verified reviewThe room was large and spotlessly clean. Giuseppe, our host, was very helpful with information and answering questions. There was on-street parking in the road next to the B&B. It is close to major roads, so was easy to get to and from other towns by car. It’s not the prettiest end of town, but is an easy 2km walk into the historic centre.
Nothing.

Verified reviewI liked the room, the building area, and the secured place at all, as well as the available free parking spot nearby. In the common kitchenette, guests have designated table and fridge space. Nice! The householder Giuseppe is a kind and very responsive person for your needs.
I would have been happier if I had a kind of salty breakfast choice as well.

Verified reviewClean design, possibility to seat outside, bus connection to city center
The location is convenient for departing on day trip ( close to main road) but the district do not offer a lot of possibilities for drinks nor dinner. You need to take the car/bus for downtown or dive to the next villages.

Verified reviewWe had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The place was not only cozy and comfortable but also beautifully designed, making it a perfect home away from home. The host's warm welcome truly stood out – their hospitality and attentiveness made me feel valued and appreciated throughout my entire stay. From the thoughtful amenities to the helpful local recommendations, every detail was taken care of. Breakfast is typically Italian with sweets, fresh croissants, coffee, juice and since we prefer more the salty breakfast, the host was kind enough to bring us fresh cheese that was very tasty. Parking is also easy nearby the accommodation on a non paying street.
The only minor downside was the bed size, which was a bit smaller than we are used to. Nonetheless, the overall hospitality and comfort made our stay truly enjoyable.

Verified reviewExceptionally clean and very comfortable. Breakfast provided in a separate dining room or you could take it outside to your own bistro table. Street parking for our car to the side of the property was convenient.
Located just a touch too far to walk into the centre of Lecce, however just a short drive to the city walls where there was street parking.
