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):
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.
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.).

PolandOur stay in Bari was absolutely wonderful! Every morning the host prepared a delicious Italian breakfast, which made each day start in such a special way. The place was very clean and comfortable, and the host was extremely kind and helpful. We truly felt welcome and would happily come back!

We had a wonderful stay in Bari, thanks to our amazing host Elfio ! He has a very kind and warm nature that instantly made us feel at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast—Alfio personally prepared it each morning, and it was truly special. It’s rare to find a host who goes the extra mile instead of just picking up things from the supermarket. The room was spotlessly clean, well-lit, and very comfortable. Highly recommended if you're visiting Bari!

United KingdomThe only oddity is that it that your bathroom is separate from your room itself, so you must cross through the kitchen to reach it. Be sure to save your own blushes and those of other guests!
Elfio is an excellent host. He went out of his way to meet me after my evening arrival and provided an amazing amount of information to guide me round Bari. I followed his suggested walks and greatly enjoyed them. The property is very clean and comfortable. Elfio has also added many nice touches, such as codes for doors and a night light that comes on automatically when you exit your room. The kitchen is well equipped for coffee, tea and basic cooking or heating. Each room has a private bathroom which is very nice, with a good hot shower and additional hand shower. Recommended! for anyone other than those with limited mobility, who may struggle with the stairs and the walk across the railway bridge to the Old Town. My thanks to Elfio for his hospitality.

FranceFor me the location was perfect as I drove to Bari and needed to be outside the center. Although it is close to old town (20mn walk) maybe for some people who like to be at the center it might feel far. Make sure you check the map, for me it was perfect!
Very nice apartment well kept and extremely clean. The arrival was very easy with the instructions and the host was fantastic. Breakfast was amazing!! The bed is comfortable and shower works well (sounds like a stupid thing to mention but in Italy it’s not often like this!!)

The BnB was extremely clean...especially the bathroom, which I am quite particular about. It is close to the central tranl station thus easy to walk there. It's also close to most attractions like the old town. Elfio the host was AMAZING. He was very, very warm and helpful. He made the stay quite a delight. Was always available on phone for any information required. On the checkout day, I was unable to get a cab and he organised transport to my destination, which was very kind of him. The WiFi works very welk too. I would definitely choose this BnB again. Loved it.

United StatesHa! Ha! The stairs, only an issue when trying to get luggage to the room. The AC blowing over the bed.
Elfio's description is right on. The shared kitchen area, our room and our bathroom were unassuming, but had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, room a good size, plenty of closet space and a drying rack which we took advantage of. The balcony was a great place for drying our clothes, which we washed in the sink. The neighborhood is safe, the bus stop to town minutes away (turn left outside the building, take the next right and halfway down the street on the opposite side you can catch Bus #10 close to the Historic District). AC worked well, wifi was good, we were fortunate to find a parking spot on the street so we never moved the car and took public transportation everywhere. Walking around the neighborhood is safe and we very much felt we were getting a local experience. Elfio is a super host, and his attention to detail is exceptional. He does what he can to make his feel welcome and cared for. There is a wealth of information he has compiled and made available, it came in so handy when we were planning our stops between Bari and Lecce. I can't speak about breakfast, we didn't choose that option. We enjoyed our stay.

I really enjoyed the breakfast, the clean room and clean bathroom. The fact that there is airconditioning within our room is life saving! The little fridge within our room also comes in handy because you can cool down some bottle of waters for the whole day.

The store was around the corner, lots of bakeries in approximately 2-5 min, to the city center and sea was about 30 min walking distance. The apartment was tidy and had all the equipment needed to make food. I would recommend that place! The host was super helpful and very nice!
