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 reviewEverything, the host is super nice and friendly, if you want to relax and unplug from the stress and people, Terecate is the best place. Swimming pool and the room are super nice.

Verified reviewNice apartment with hot water tub on terrace with picturesque landscape. Here you will hear only your breathing, wind and birds, so it perfect get away. Hot water tub was still refreshment after all day exploring although we were here in the middle of April with cloudy weather and strong south wind. You will share property with 2 others apartments. This is not problem as some kind of privacy is assured. It sure must be nice here in summer when also outside pool is working. Very good and tasty breakfast. Would come back again…
Nothing to declare.

Verified reviewFast internet, skylight window.
Poor value for money. Personally we were expecting better quality and consequently we were left with bad aftertaste but it depends what are the expectations. Swimming pool and area around not well kept and dirty. If you plan a romantic getaway please be aware that the space is small and walls are paper thin. We could hear guests next door - their conversations and tv. Hot water does not last long. Tv was not working. For that money we stayed later in 16th century masseria surrounded by vineyards… just as a comparison ( with breakfast included ). Please adjust the price to match the quality you provide …
Dear guest, we are very sorry for your review because giving a 4 to a structure means throwing away our work. We are sorry that you do not know how to appreciate the Salento countryside because Terecate represents an immersive experience in this type of countryside, but perhaps you were expecting an English lawn which however would not be truthful given that our local countryside is very different. The swimming pools are very well-kept and above all sanitized every day. Your TV worked perfectly, simply the cable behind the TV itself had come loose slightly and we had also suggested how to fix everything but evidently you were not interested. We are also sorry that you ended up with noisy neighbors, but unfortunately this does not depend only on us. Your vote is not truthful because you booked a structure that provided you with all the comforts described but that you deliberately decided to ignore by focusing only on 3 things that you did not like. Maybe next time read the descriptions carefully and look at the photos before booking to avoid leaving untruthful reviews.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was really good and the external jacuzzi
The place is nice for a romantic or relaxing stay, however several things could be improved also due to the high prices, even outside the summer season. For example minimal details in the paint and lighting system of the jacuzzi, the curtain system in the glass roof is manual and does not work well, and aesthetic details of the kitchen, terrance, and landscape.

Verified reviewGreat hideaway and great architecture! Waking up with the sun floating through the big windows on your bed and looking at an olive tree with swing is just a perfect start to the day. Topped then by lovely breakfast offering prepared and served by Luigi on the teracce. For those who want to have a real break just the perfect spot. Thoughtful recommendations by the host upon request.

Verified reviewLovely stay in a beautiful location - especially loved having breakfast in the mornings on the patio, with a stunning view and peace and quiet. Excellent communication by the hosts!
Very minor points - it would have been helpful to have a table/surface in the bathroom to put our toiletries on and bottled toiletries instead of little shower gel packets but didn't detract from the stay at all.

Verified reviewNice new cabins on an olive farm. The room was good, fairly basic. The kitchen quite small but we did use it. The plunge pool was good to cool off. Family run, veggie garden was a nice touch.
It’s quite expensive for what you get. You are very close to your neighbours.
