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 reviewIt is in a nice location in the Old Town, very central.
The room didn’t quite match the description. There was no wi-fi - this was a bit of an issue as we were supposed to work - even though it was listed among the facilities. We couldn’t check in before 7pm so we stayed in a nearby bar for a few hours and when we finally got in the room, there was no toilette paper, no soap and the bathroom sink was leaking. The lady taking care of the rooms was very kind and helpful though, and tried to help as much as she could.

Verified reviewThe location.
Defenitily not recomended!! A day before my accomodation start i sent the host a msg via booking but i got no answer, I called him on his number and always no response, the only automatically generated message i got is that i can collect the keys from the bar located in the same place as the appartement. Whene I arrived to the location i've been shocked that the bar was closed and the host still not answering. I started thinking about going to hotel to spend my night in. 2 hours later i got a message from the host informing me that i can have the keys by 19h at the bar. I aked him why he doesn't answer my calls and messages and he told that he have over 80 rooms to manage and that hard... 😑 After 3h30min of waiting finally the bar opens and they told me thay i have to wait because they don't have the keys for my booking. I got another keys for an other room so i had to walk for 15min to get to the new location and even asked me to change the room in the next day 🙃

Verified reviewLocation is fantastic! The room I had (#4) is was spacious with a little balcony overlooking the small piazza. Overall happy for the one night. I wanted to stay an hour longer than check out 10:30 and was able to do so, even though the cleaning lady didn't get the info. I informed the check-in waiter who OK'ed it and the owner(?) who didn't respond. The cheapest place in Taranto with some issues yet thanks to the room I got it was an OK stay despite the bad reviews before which I wanted to see for myself.
The check-in process should be optimized - possible with pre-registration like passport photo via WhatsApp etc. and a key lock at the door for example...or describing the two restaurant places who handle check-in. It's OK to take the keys in a restaurant but it should be clearly described in the automatic text message which restaurant should be it as the one in the text (in the same building) was closed and it was the one across the small square (being the same restaurant) - which I found out late. The solo waiter there was overworked handling everything and could handle my check in just after another 20 minutes or so (after me trying to contact around for 30') . There is also some stagnant air in the fridge area which results in moldy smell. Overall many fixable things if one cares about it and would want to charge more.

Verified reviewIt was cheap
The place was infested with ants. Water in shower was hardly ever hot, mostly just cold coming out in dribbles. While raining water was pouring under balcony door, thin walls so you could hear anything that happens in the house and the bed and pillows were really uncomfortable.

Verified reviewLocation and bathroom is decent
It was terribly dirty, especially the sleeping area, hair everywhere on the sheets. Okay the price is cheap and we were not looking for any facilities or luxury obviously but even the basic hygiene standards were not met (bathroom was okay)
