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 perfect, the room and bathroom were big, well appointed and super clean. Massimo was great to communicate with and he spoke excellent English. He made suggestions for restaurants and beaches and engaged with us during breakfast which we enjoyed. His breakfast spread was good and sufficient for the morning and fresh squeezed oranges for us every morning. We loved the place and highly recommend for a stay in Lecce.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing place to stay, better than a hotel. The rooom was very modern, tastefully decorated modern and clean. Location was great, few minutes walking from city centre. We were always able to find parking in the same street (paying 1.3 eur per hour / working hours only). Cleaning provided every day. Amazing breakfast, with so much variety (cheese, pastries, fruits, etc). Massimo the owner was there every day for breakfast and gave us a lot of great recommendations, he spoke great english and also spanish and french.
Everything was perfect.

Verified reviewShort walking distance to old town. The seperate living space was nice as was the balcony seating space. The owner was extremely helpful with info on the town, daytrip travel, and was there every morning to prepare an exceptional breakfast with so many food and beverage choices. Fresh squeezed OJ was a bonus. Used the secure, underground parking for an additional fee but street parking was available. Would highly recommend.

Verified reviewA lovely spacious room at the doorstep of Lecce. On street parking readily available in front of the property which had large parking bays that could easily accommodate large cars. The host, Massimo, could not have been more attentive and caring - he is thoroughly deserving of the many plaudits that appear in customer feedback.
There was a noise in the bedroom that seemed to originate from the property below. Also, I would recommend a room over a suite as the air conditioning unit is in the living area of the suite rather than the bedroom making it less effective in cooling the bedroom. Small points in an otherwise perfect property.

Verified reviewEverything! So comfortable , Massimo was very helpful. Everything spotlessly clean. So close to the old city center, we even walked all the way to the train station effortless, an around 20 min very pleasant stroll , even in August heat. Very close to Taranta suites we found this great restaurant “ L’Rome” even though it’s not typical Puglian food ( it’s Roman style) . It was DELICIOUS! The best carbonara ever! Thank you, Massimo for a wonderful stay!

Verified reviewWhile the room was slightly smaller than it looked in photos, it was clean, comfortable, and met our needs very well. Everything we wanted to see in the city was in easy walking distance and our host gave us terrific recommendations for day trips and places to eat. Breakfast was lovely - fresh pressed juice and coffee along with local pastries, fabulous italian cheese and salami and a variety of fresh fruits. We would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking.
We had a little trouble with the key to parking area but we simply sent a WhatsApp message to the host and it was resolved in minutes!

Verified reviewThe owner Massimo's kindness made our trip very special! Aside from the delicious breakfast and clean room, talking to Massimo in the morning made our stay in Puglia so much better. He helped us find the best restaurants, told us about the area, beaches and cultural sights, with his encyclopedic knowledge of the region. He helped us get a fantastic boat tour off the south coast of Santa Maria de Leuca, but most of all, he helped me find a photographer who captured my proposal to my girlfriend! I can't thank him enough! I've done a lot of traveling--this is the kind of place I love to stay. Will definitely be back.

Hands-on check in process needing to ring and meet the host on arrival. The 15€/night charge for parking in the garage was not mentioned anywhere in the listing. The bed was uncomfortable.

Verified reviewEverything about the location, the property, and most importantly, Massimo, our wonderful host. Massimo came to pick us from the bus station, he gave us plenty of recommendations for food and places to go. He even brought us to an olive farm to buy some real good quality olive oils. Every morning, he would prepare a wonderful breakfast and we would have great conversations together. All in all, Massimo rates as the best host in the history of my travels. Bravo Massimo. We will miss your generous hospitality.

Verified reviewThe room looks very similar to what you would expect from an hotel. It is large, very clean, recent and well equiped. You even have a desk that would make it perfectly suitable as a place to work. It is well located at 5 minutes from Lecce historical center. We found a parking at approx. 5mn from here but it may not have been the closest one. Host is nice and attentive. Breakfast is served by him every morning in a dedicated room with good local products and in particular the famous local pastries called "pasticciotti".

Verified reviewMassimo set a high bar as our host. He generously picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, service well beyond our expectations. He gave us an overview of the City and highlighted things to see and do, and recommended restaurants (providing phone numbers and calling for reservations on our behalf). Our room was exceptionally clean and got natural night. The water temperature and pressure in the shower was excellent and the shower enclosure was very effective at keeping water from getting outside of it. He served still-warm pasticciotti fresh from the bakery, and a fresh ricotta special to Sundays to go along with a variety of other breakfast offerings. And the location, within a few blocks of a the old city and a big garden was ideal.
The bed was a little firmer than I like.
