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 must be the best b&b in Otranto. The whole family are so warm and friendly with lots of good advice for restaurants and things to do. Franco was kind enough to drive us to a fantastic fish restaurant and back one day and we were given one of Nana’s beautiful paintings. Breakfast was delicious especially Nana’s home baking. I loved her almond torte and hubby especially enjoyed the gluten free chocolate cake. The location is great. Only 5 minutes from the beach and 10 to the town centre. A perfect place to stay. We hope to return one day.
Nothing.

Verified reviewI had an absolutely amazing stay at Vele D’Otranto and fully recommend it. The entire family were so kind and generous; with incredible homemade cakes and pancakes for breakfast and recommendations for beaches and restaurants in the area. Big thank you especially to Anais and Franco for your help when I needed a lift! This is the only place I’d want to stay anytime I come to Otranto and I hope to be back again one day.

Verified reviewThis is outstanding accommodation - beautifully decorated, modern, spacious, comfortable bed, great shower. It was easy to find, just a10min walk to the Centro storico. Franco and his family were wonderful hosts. He secured a parking space right outside. The breakfast was superb - fruits, meats, pancakes and numerous delicious cakes. One of the BEST places we have stayed over countless trips to many countries.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful B&B, it was perfect in every way. The communication before our arrival was always prompt and helpful. We hired a car in Monopoli and drove to Otranto which we found very stressful. When we arrived at the B&B the whole family welcomed us, organising parking right out the front and giving us a cold drink to recover. The room was modern, very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. It was lovely sitting out on the verandah. It was great having verandah doors to let fresh in but also air conditioning for when it got very hot. It was great having a clothes line off the verandah to hang our swimmers and towels after going to the beach. The hosts were all very friendly and helpful in sharing their extensive knowledge of the area, giving recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, etc. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices and fresh coffee. It was served buffet style which we then ate on our verandah at the table the hosts set beautifully each morning. Nana's home cooked cakes were amazing. It was a short walk to a beautiful free beach and the Old Town. Otranto is a really lovely city to visit, it is very clean with sparkling clear water at the beaches. We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful accommodation with beautiful hosts.
Thank you very much for your super comment ! It was a pleasure for us and we are glad you had such a good time!

Verified reviewWhat wonderful, warm and welcoming hosts and family. We had a delightful time engaging with them on arrival and at breakfast, which was superb and so generous. The room and bathroom were perfect, spotless and very comfortable. A casual stroll of 15 minutes takes you into the old town, past the beach. I highly recommend Vele d'Otranto to everyone.
Everything was terrific
