Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The apartment was fantastic for 2 people and you could also use the sofa bed. Facilities were excellent and very clean. No washing machine though which would be great for longer stays. Otherwise excellent. Location close to all the action.

United StatesWe booked the unit one floor up from street level. I was concerned after reading reviews about the number and steepness of the steps. It is a full flight up and the spacing between steps is large but there is a banister to hold onto all the way. Claudio and his Dad, Jacamo, do all the heavy lifting, carrying your bags up and down the stairs. The apartment is a nice size, amply furnished, comfortable and clean. We had a little balcony that was lovely after the day cooled off. The apartment is centrally located for restaurants and shops )make dinner reservations … it gets busy.) If you are driving I suggest you ask Claudio about renting the private parking garage. That saves a huge headache related to how and where to park. We are glad we did. For us, it was a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

United KingdomNothing !
We stayed in the quadruple room. It was a beautifully designed apartment, light and bright with a balcony and everything we needed for our stay. We were given a voucher for breakfast in a local cafe which was very nice. The bed was comfortable, the shower was good, it was very central but on a quiet street. Claudio was so helpful - he really went out of his way to make our short stay special, giving us several restaurant recommendations, booking a boat trip to see the caves for us and organising an airport shuttle. It was great. Will definitely re-book if we come again and would highly recommend it.

United KingdomI can't think of a single thing we didn't like, faultless
The communication from Claudio and his Brother was exceptional. He was available to answer questions in advance through booking. A couple of days before he made contact via WhatsApp which made arranging arrival/check in a breeze. Both Claudio and his Brother greeted us and welcomed us to our room at the Vio Blu. They helped us with parking and assisted with our luggage. Showing us around the room, all the facilities and gave us a list of local places to try and offered to arrange a boat trip. The room i must say is beautiful, it had all we needed and more. It was clean and very user friendly. The location is excellent, very central. Claudio checked in with us to make sure we were ok and to arrange cleaning as we stayed for a week. We will miss our room at Vico Blu

United KingdomThe only thing we feel could be a problem to some people is that access to the property is up narrow stairs.
Super clean, well equipped apartment in a convenient location. Communication with Claudio was excellent, our train was over 2 hours late but it wasn't a problem. Breakfast is taken at a nearby friendly café, lovely fresh croissants . Good value, highly recommend.

SwedenNarrow and steep staircase - might be a problem for someone… ”Breakfast included” means that you have to get it at a bar in the neighbourhood.
10 minutes from the railway station. Newly built. Good basic kitchen - if you need it. Accommodation was spick & span! Friendly owner & son who met up at the piazza nearby.

LuxembourgI really don’t know where to start — it was our second time in Polignano, but our first time staying at Vico Blu. Vico Blu is a family-run place, and we actually met the whole family because everyone works hand in hand there. They’re all absolutely lovely and made us feel right at home — such a warm welcome! We also booked the airport transfer with them, and that worked out really well too. The apartment itself is great — actually even better than in the photos! It has everything you need, and you really feel well taken care of. The stairs are steep, like almost everywhere in Polignano, so you do need to be reasonably fit to manage them — but other than that, there’s no better place for us. We’ll definitely be back! Sending warm greetings to the whole family — we really enjoyed getting to talk with them!

BelgiumWe had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment in Polignano a Mare. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed right at the property, where a parking spot had even been saved for us — such a thoughtful touch! We were given a tour of the apartment by the owner's brother, who spoke excellent English and made us feel right at home. The apartment itself is stunning — modern and stylish, yet full of charm and character, with authentic details beautifully preserved. In the kitchen, we were pleasantly surprised to find a basket of snacks waiting for us, along with a high-quality coffee machine, which we made good use of during our stay. The location is absolutely perfect: just a short walk to the old town, close to all the main attractions and plenty of great restaurants. In short, everything was 100% perfect. We would absolutely recommend this place and would love to come back!
