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 was great, right in the middle of the old city.
The view from the apartment: be sure, when booking, to pick the sea view or, better yet, the terrace from the roof; otherwise, you will see only the side of the next building.
We offer different room types with different prices. I'm sorry to have a negative review because of your poor choice.

Verified reviewClose to rail station, clean, modern updated bath room, great AC ,relatively quiet, basic continental breakfast with milk water and juice, rolls butter jam & Nutella. Water fizzy and natural fully loaded each day. Lots of meal options within 2 block. Cafe Victory/ Fadi a great desert place one block south. Genuine working Taranto area, most folks friendly. Appears safe, Good value for the price
Lots of entry stairs, loose door on refrigerator cabinet. Could use a simple room safe. Area appears rougher than it is. Area is in rehab / renewal phase and will get better with time (Don Alfredo’s is in good condition).

Verified reviewIt was a wonderful taste of luxury. Part of me just wanted to stay in all day and lounge around the apartment. I especially appreciated that the host arranged for me to get in even though I didn’t have phone service while I was there. I wish I’d booked a month!
The only problem was the slow drain in the shower.
I would love for you to come back for a whole month. I will have your shower drain working fine. see you soon!

Verified reviewGreat space, everything nice and clean. Even some cooking space.
I only ever got to speak to someone by phone when I arrived. He was business-like but there was no warmth in the welcome. I travel by bicycle and my very nice room was at the top of a long and steep stairs. i managed that but it wasn't ideal.
I'm sorry I couldn't welcome you personally. Usually customers with bikes use the elevator to go up.

Verified reviewThe apartment was very clean, and the cleaning staff were very polite. The apartment is within easy walking distance from the train station, which is a primary reason I chose it. The daily room rate was low and may be reasonable for the quality of the facility. There is an excellent locals' seafood restaurant (good and good price) nearby, and good access to the fishing docks for photos.
The quality of the facility is questionable. The dining table veneer top was ripped, and the trim around doors is cheap wood rough cut and coming loose in the bathroom with exposed nails. The view from large glass doors in the living/dining area is of crumbling buildings in the old city, many with boarded windows and doors. If you plan to cook, you must buy everything (oils, spices, condiments, napkins, etc.) since only dishes and cookware are provided. I never met anyone involved in facility management - we communicated only by text and the only staff I met was the cleaning , crew who were quite nice.

Verified reviewWe stayed in the Deluxe Suite on the top floor. It’s lovely. The exemplary attention to detail makes this an exceptional apartment. We loved the plushy quilt, the comfy bed, the overhead skylight, the super terrace and, of course, the view. It’s very well equipped, and the cleaning ladies, who come every day, are assiduous in replacing and refreshing everything. Everything is very clean, smells fresh and is very spacious. Two of the best restaurants in Taranto are within 100m from the front door!!
Nothing! It was perfect for us! However, it has to be mentioned that there are 70 internal steps up to this apartment. Didn’t bother us at all, but some people might struggle.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Don Alfredo, there's also an elevator that goes from the ground floor to the second floor. I'll put up signs to let people know about the elevator. Thanks and see you soon!

Verified reviewI of course loved the view! There were some lovely touches ur little goodies left for breakfast. The place was very clean and welcoming. The big surprise was a lift to go down with ur suitcase!! Bus stop just across the road. ( takes u to the train station and the large bus stop the other end which is quite far)
Even though view was nice the area wasn’t so flash.

Verified reviewThe apartment is wonderful, beautiful, clean, well equipped with everything a visitor needs.I also liked the design. I would especially like to highlight the amazing, interesting and very tasty surprise present that was waiting for me on the kitchen table when I arrived as it definitely made me smile. Besides, milk, drink and some snacks for breakfast were already stored in the kitchen.They were also very kind to store my luggage until I had a look around in the city. I can just recommend this place!
The view from the windows and the rough area. So, just close the curtains and don't walk into side streets at night around the apartment. Other than that everything is perfect!
Thank you see you soon!

Verified reviewBig bathroom, big kitchen, big bedroom. It was just like a bachelor flat. Room was very quiet. Haven't seen a soul the entire day. The accommodation had an interesting rustic style.
Haven't met any of the staff. Somebody opened the main entry door for me when I called the B&B phone number. I washed my hair two times accidentally because the shower always started with the big top shower head.
