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 reviewLocation, immaculate, contemporary. Perfect place to stay in the heart of beautiful Vieste Borgo Antico. A varied breakfast served a short walk away overlooking the lighthouse…what more could you want. Carmine the host was excellent, very informative on places to go & always contactable if any queries.

Verified reviewGreat view from the balcony, good location in the city, nice clean apartment, superior guest support from Carmine.
If you have mobility issues, especially knees, the stairs to the top room with the balcony is challenging.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail was considered to make sure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town of Vieste and only minutes from the beach. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and a sophisticated design that struck the perfect balance of style and functionality. The large balcony was an added bonus! Breakfast offered a wide assortment of options with a stunning view. The host was incredibly helpful, providing excellent communication from before our arrival through to our departure. Their local suggestions were very helpful and made us feel truly welcomed.

Verified reviewA very modern room with a fantastic and quite private terrace. It was high up in Vieste and very cosy. The bathroom and especially the shower is also very nice.
There are quite a few stairs, which weren't an issue for us, but could be a problem for someone who has a disability or is a older. However, the host was very gracious and carried in our heavier bags - very kind!

Verified reviewCarmine, our host, was super helpful with dining suggestions and what to see and do. The property has a great outdoor terrace …we enjoyed having our pizza and wine at sunset.
Carmine advised us that the water booster pump would run periodically through the evening …which was a little annoying at first…but we got use to it.

Verified reviewNice breakfast at nearby location with great view.
TV wasn’t working properly (antenna not getting connection). Shower had no privacy screening from bedroom.
Hi David, thank you so much for the positive review! Unfortunately, as you well know, during the days you were our guests, there was a wind that exceeded 70kmh, this caused some damage, including the fall of the antenna that transmits the TV signal. I learned that the TV does not work thanks to your review, if you had warned me when you were staying with us, I would have immediately taken steps to solve the problem! just as I made myself available to drive your car to the parking lot and to go and pick it up personally from the parking lot on the day of departure. The shower in the room with glass is a particularity of our rooms, clearly visible in the photographs.

Verified reviewWe had the pleasure of staying here while we were on our honeymoon and it was the absolute best place. We were a 5 minute walk from the historic centre and had beautiful accommodations. What made our stay even more special was the kindness that Carmine had in making sure everything was perfect. He was kind and helpful and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. He even took the time to personally meet us and accompany us to where we were staying. The room was absolutely stunning. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a charming B&B. Ps. If you get the chance, he owns a store in which he hand-makes jewelry. A must see!

Verified reviewThis place was amazing. The host were so gracious, and as it was not easy to park nearby, they had a system which made perfect sense and was a short walk from our car. The apartment has a wonderful view of the city from its roof. it has recently been redone. It was impeccably Arranged, and we cannot have been more surprised for such a pleasant stay.

Verified reviewThere are many good apartments, excellent places to stay, and above them all is Cela Una Volta, where the owners go above and beyond to make the experience extraordinary! From the very beginning, the communication was superb. Carmine waited for me to help carry my heavy suitcase up to the apartment. The place is tastefully decorated, the bathroom is spacious and equipped with all the amenities. The bed is incredibly comfortable, with pillows that adjust perfectly to the shape of your head. Despite being located in the heart of the old town, the apartment is quiet and peaceful at night, allowing you to sleep with the windows open. The coffee machine (which is refilled daily) is the Ferrari of coffee makers, allowing you to enjoy a delicious espresso in the morning on the terrace, which is the cherry on top of this place. The terrace is equipped with both comfortable armchairs and high stools, offering a panoramic view of the old town and the bay. It’s positioned in such a way that you can find a sunny spot at almost any time of the day. The cleaning lady does an amazing job – the cheese I had accidentally left on the table was placed in the fridge, and the bathroom was perfectly organized (the mother's touch, if you know what I mean! :)). There’s water available in the fridge for when you're thirsty. The owners offer breakfast in two locations just a stone’s throw from the apartment: “Fresh” by the bay and “Maggiore,” a short walk uphill. I definitely recommend Maggiore – the service and selection are far superior, and the view from above is breathtaking. The small present waiting for you from the lovely owners is another personal touch added to the perfect stay. Vieste, the city of hearts, stole mine – and half the magic was my stay with Carmine and Joana. I hope we meet again. The rating is only 10 because booking.com doesn’t allow for more!
