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 reviewThe host Gianni was absolutely charming and very helpful. He provided a very good breakfast with homemade cakes by his wife. He made suggestions for restaurants and advised taking a bus into central Bari from the bus stop just down the road. The B&B had a lovely sitting out area too.

Verified reviewMaria and Gianni run a very clean, modern, comfortable BnB with a lot of heart. They went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant. When my flight was delayed well past midnight, Gianni still provided the agreed shuttle service even though it was so very late (by then early) saving me from a very long taxi line. And when I wasn't feeling well one day, they made sure I had what I needed and was okay. Anytime I had a question on where to go, they had suggestions and I was even lent an umbrella for the beach. The rooms have tall ceilings, good A/C and pleasant lighting, modern fixtures and are very clean. The mattress was comfortable and I was able to sleep well, even in the heat wave. There are only four rooms so it feels very cozy and not too crowded or like a typical "tourist" experience. Smoking is not allowed in the BnB, which I also appreciated. Bathrooms are private, not shared. Another big plus. Location is also excellent: I have been in Bari a few times, but was delighted to explore this area near the lighthouse, good restaurants, several public (and private) beaches and it is very close to a bus stop with buses to the center and the main train station or old town Bari (Bari vecchia). Tickets can be bought online or at the tabbacheria nearby. It is also not far to the grocery store and nearby cinema. I didn't have or need a car, but with a car, it would be easy too. Breakfast was a delicious cornetto/other fruit and juice etc. and coffee made for you by the host. In a nice breakfast room. Bruce the dog is also a pleasant addition in greeting the guests and follows Gianni like a shadow. There is also a very large garden with a nice seating area outside. I had a very pleasant stay - and plan to come back next time I am in Bari.
The bathroom in the single room is a little tricky if you are a tall person. The toilet is quite near the sink vanity - not much knee/leg room, but if you fly budget airlines...you'll be fine.
Thank you!🤗

Verified reviewVery clean place, my room was cleaned daily. The host was super nice and helpful. I got croissant and cappucino for breakfast every day and there were also other stuff to eat. My room had AC and window blinders which was very good because the sun did not wake me up in the morning. There was wi-fi and tv. Overall very good quality 🙂 You can take a direct bus to the city's beach.
The bus stop is close but the buses are late always in Apulia. If you want to travel to nearby cities take into consideration that you have to wake up earlier. This is however not the host's fault but the cities'.

Verified reviewThis was a great and contemporary B & B, with a beautiful courtyard. The room was very comfortable with a firm bed. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was plentiful. We booked this area because we were taking a cruise and it was close to the Port of Bari. N.B. Bruce the dog was lovable and very well-behaved!
There is nothing to improve
Thank you so much!
