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 reviewThis was… a dream. What a magical and special place. The palazzo has been beautifully renovated with such eye for detail. It’s located in an authentic Puglian town with great dining spots and just a short drive from stunning beaches. Richard and Marco are the warmest, most thoughtful hosts. Their hospitality shines through in the amazing team they've brought together. They took our vacation to the next level and we’re very grateful for their fantastic care and wonderful recommendations. We would 100%, definitely, absolutely stay here again and recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much!

Verified reviewAnother day in paradise – Palazzo Piccinno. A soft breeze rustled the banana tree leaves, the pool water gently rippled, quiet piano music floated through the air, and in the distance, church bells rang. Our final moments in paradise – peaceful, timeless, unforgettable. We spent five incredible nights at this beautiful palazzo in Apulia. The setting was stunning: a dreamy room full of italian character, a serene pool, and delicious, lovingly prepared breakfast each morning. What made this stay truly exceptional, however, were the two remarkable hosts. Marco and Richard. Warm, intuitive, mindful and endlessly attentive. They seemed to know what we needed before we did. Their care, attention, recommendations for restaurants and beaches were spot-on and made every day feel effortless and special. This palazzo doesn’t just offer beauty and comfort – it comes alive through the heart, energy and presence of its hosts and the people who surround it. Every day was truly another day in paradise -again and again. Gonna miss you both and your unique hand-written notes. We can’t wait to return.
Eike, your words moved us deeply — like a quiet melody echoing through these old walls. Thank you for seeing the soul of this place and for letting us be part of your days in Puglia. Your presence, your kindness, your attention, we’ll carry it with us until the next time. Grazie mille, Richard & Marco

Verified reviewBeautiful property, everything is done with so much attention to detail & style. The real differentiator is all the love and care from the owners Richard and Marco and the rest of the staff. Very personal, amazing breakfast (especially for Italy!), good coffee, comfy beds, nice pool to dip, the town was surprisingly nice also with a nice piazza and some bars.
Thank you for your kind review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the details of the property, the breakfast, and your time in Parabita. It was a pleasure to host you, and we appreciate your feedback.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing stay at Palazzo Piccinno! From the very first moment, Richard welcomed us with a warm smile and a glass of wine, so kind, friendly, and genuinely attentive. He truly took the time to make us feel at home, pampering us with everything we could have possibly wanted and more. The breakfast was absolutely incredible, generous, delicious and beautifully presented. The palace itself is tastefully designed, with so much charm and elegance in every detail. Staying at Palazzo Piccinno wasn’t just about having a place to sleep it was a full experience. We truly felt spoiled and grateful. Highly recommended! And hoping to stay again!

Verified reviewThe Palazzo is a slice of paradise in Apulia. It is beautifully stylish, with a lovely garden and pool area. The room was great (I didn't want to leave the bath tub), as was the delicious breakfast. However, the best part has to be Richard and Marco's hospitality. They make you feel as if you're guests in their home and shared so much knowledgeable of the surrounding area, including what to do and where to visit.

Verified reviewThis hotel is the reason to come to Puglia! feel at home with five star service. A stunning hotel that you will probably take a picture of every time you go down the stairs because it is impossible to remain indifferent to the design. Thinking about all the smallest details. And most importantly, hosts that you won't meet anywhere else, the warm and amazing Richard and Marco are so attentive, recommend, help and always look and check if you need anything. An extraordinary experience. You will feel that you are the most important. A gem in the middle of a charming little town. Large, spacious, quiet and clean rooms, a stunning and pleasant pool with a good atmosphere. There is no warmer recommendation than this hotel. An amazing experience.

Verified reviewEverything has been thought through down to the last detail - the light, the scent, the music. The moment you enter this palazzo, you dive into another world and let go of your worries. But what really makes this place special are Marco & Richard. From the very first moment, they make you feel at home. We felt incredibly comfortable, cared for and protected. Even more than that. We felt as if good friends had invited us into their home. You also need to mention the incredible breakfast. Everything is so delicious. And Richard is really taking care of your preferences.

Verified reviewEverything at Palazzo Piccinno is excellent, Richard and Marco are the best hosts you could imagine, full of care and attention to details. We never experienced such a tailored service and we felt so lucky to have spent 5 days at this beautifully renovated Palazzo. Fragrances around the Palazzo are excellent, from the aromas in the lobby to the soaps, to the smell of fresh bedsheets. Breakfast is served with tasteful and visual delicacy, and a surprising quality of all the ingredients. The swimming pool at night followed by a chat around the fire...dreamy. 10 is quite not enough for rating Palazzo Piccinno. Thank you Richard and Marco for this wonderful experience !
