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 reviewSimply the best ! Many hosts are friendly and kind, but they don't hold candle to Donatella. What a doll. She is genuine, warm, loving as well as kind, helpful, available and goes the extra mile to accommodate you as, for example, not just finding a hair salon for my wife, but walking with her to accompany and help her along the way. The accommodations were excellent, the breakfast delicious, the location wonderful as well as the private parking arranged by her and her partner Davide, another gem. We will go back next time in Lecce without a doubt. You cannot go wrong here.
Niente, nothing, rien, nada !
Thank you very much to both for your wonderful review! We are really happy to know that you appreciated our hospitality and that you felt as at home! 😘 Thanks also for appreciating the accommodation, breakfast and location.

Verified reviewBeautiful accommodation with a caring and helpful host. The location is peaceful, yet conveniently close to both the town center and the train station. Breakfasts were excellent, and everything was spotlessly clean — just like new. Daily housekeeping was provided. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the large terrace in the shade of cacti. We stayed for four nights and didn’t miss anything.

Verified reviewIt is an excellent choice to visit Lecce. Very beautiful , extremely clean apartment. The hosts are very kind and helpful. The breakfast has all you need. The location is excellent, a few minutes walk to the old town. Parking in the street is not a problem in low season. We highly recommend it.
We're thrilled with your enthusiastic review! We're delighted you enjoyed the cleanliness and beauty of our apartment, and our hospitality met your expectations. The location is indeed one of our strong points, and we're glad you could enjoy the proximity to the historic center. Street parking can be trickier during peak season, but we're happy you didn't encounter any issues during your stay. Thanks for choosing us and recommending us to your friends and family! We're here for you whenever you're ready to return to Lecce!

Verified reviewWhen you love what you do and do it with heart, the results are on another level. This is exactly what Donatella offers her guests—with her kind hospitality, amazing breakfasts, exceptional cleanliness, and overall extraordinary effort to make your stay the best it can be. We stayed for four days, and during those four days, Donatella made sure we had breakfast options that rival those of a high-end hotel. There was nothing missing. She brings fresh fruit and croissants directly from the market, prepares any kind of coffee you like, offers whole wheat bread, and generally serves a breakfast she would want for herself—using only high-quality products. The room is spacious and impeccably clean. The bathroom is newly renovated and also spotless—and curly-haired guests, you’ll appreciate the diffuser attachment on the hairdryer! There are even makeup removal wipes provided. The entire room and B&B are decorated with beautiful attention to detail. I think this is the best B&B I have ever stayed in. It absolutely deserves five stars. Thank you, Donatella—and see you next time!
Just keep in mind that you’re in Italy, staying in a beautifully renovated building—so complete sound isolation isn’t to be expected. For us, it wasn’t a problem at all; the noise level was low and never disturbed us.
Thank you so much for your words so warm and sincere! We are really moved by your description of the experience at our B&B! I, Donatella, am happy to have been able to offer such a warm and personalized welcome to you and your loved ones, and we are happy that you have appreciated the attention to detail and the impeccable cleaning of the room. Breakfast is really a strong point, and I am committed to offering only the best to my guests. We are happy that you have appreciated the drying out of the drycrats and the make -up wipes, small details that can make a big difference! Thanks for your honesty about the noise level, we appreciate your understanding and we are happy that it was not a problem for you. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for having made us feel part of your experience. We are already in trepidation for your return, and I wait for you with great affection! See you next time! Bye bye😘😘

Verified reviewDonatella and Davide were great hosts - friendly and helpful throughout! When we arrived Donatella helped us to find the private parking and gave us some tips about Lecce. There is a lovely balcony with some cats and tortoises where we spent the evenings and could unwind after a busy day exploring the city. The property is in a quiet area and just a 15min walk to the center where you can see all the sights.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are really happy to have been able to offer you a pleasant experience! The balcony with cats and turtles was a special touch, right? We tried to create a welcoming and intimate atmosphere for our guests. We hope to see you again soon! A hug!

Verified reviewHad a wonderful stay at Donatellas place. Great host, delicious breakfast each morning, walkable to the city centre, plenty of restaurants in the area, and really comfortable stay with plenty of space to relax on the terrace area (and loved the four cats living there!)
More personal preference but I found the bed a bit too hard for me however my partner enjoyed it.

Verified reviewThis place was amazing. It was immaculate, comfortable, new and beautiful decorated with each room providing confortable in suite bathroom and great air conditioner, we slept very well. The owner, Donatella, has great attention to details and it shows in the property and also in the service. Breakfast was abundant and excellent with an assortment of Italian style samples and savory options and drinks. We found parking across the street, but there is also private parking you can use for free. The center of Lecce is very close 10-15 walking and you can explore the center of beautiful Lecce without having to move your car. I would highly recommend this place and definitely stay again here with my family. If you are browsing and comparing places, just book Don Nino if you find it available. Everyone in my family, including myself, was very happy about staying in Don Nino.
Everything was great
Many thanks for everything you have written, you are very good people, we look forward to seeing you. 🥰

Verified reviewLocated in a quiet neighborhood and close to the old town (~10-12 min walking distance). You can find free parking nearby but to be on the safe side we asked our host, who was very helpful and kind, to reserve a spot in a secure private parking lot for us (it is across the street for 5 EUR). The room was cosy, well-equipped, especially the bathroom (great shower) and has access to the terrace. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast (buffet style with lots of options) on the beautiful, green terrace which we shared with other guests and the house cats. The grey one was a bit cheeky and tried to sneak into our room. :D We can definitely recommend this B&B and hope to return some day.
We thank you ❤️ for the wonderful review and the beautiful people you are, if you were to return we would be happy to host you, with love b&b Don Nino

Verified reviewThe host Donatella was very friendly, helpful and responsive, even to text messages, offering a quick and clear answers. The room was very clean and cute, only 700 meters from the city centre. If you have a vehicle there is free parking on the street next to the appartment or for an extra 5€ in the courtyard. We didn't need it. Breakfast was delicious, typical Italian. We were out of season so the terrace was already closed. Highly recommended.
thank you so much for the nice review, I'm sorry about the terrace but it rained in the last few days and we had to tidy up for the winter🤷♀️

Verified reviewPlace was very nice and clean. Really exceptional garden to realx a bit. Our host was very nice and kind. The breakfast offered was also perfect! The city center is not far away, the neighbourhood was very safe.
Just a minor thing: maybe it would be better if the kitchen/equipments were accessible throughout the day.

Verified reviewSuper comfortable and clean. Beds were really good and shower was amazing. Good toiletries were also provided. The room has a small balcony that leads to a shared winter garden which is gorgeous and very nice to have the breakfast or just hang out. Breakfast was also pretty good, full of options. Staff was really nice.
It wasn't super close to the city center, like 15min walk, but a safe and pleasant area. There is no proper parking, but we could find a place on the street.
thank you so much Lima for the kind words, as far as parking is concerned I can tell you that we also have private parking spaces but I didn't know you would have preferred a private place to the external one🤷♀️

Verified reviewExceptional B&B, about 16 minutes walk from the train station with luggage & just less than 20 minutes walk from the beautiful old town of Lecce. Donatella was a superior host, she was so friendly, personable and accommodating. The B&B is immaculate, with lots of very thoughtful touches such as a fridge in the room. The shower is amazing & shower products were lovely. In our room we had a small balcony also. We ate breakfast on the terrace which is absolutely beautiful, Donatella has the most amazing arrangement of plants & nice places to sit. We met the four cats who were nice & friendly, our children loved them! Breakfast was very generous with yoghurt, fruit, pastries, cheeses, coffees, juices & a variety of delicious breads, there was so much to choose from. We hope to return for another stay & would recommend the B&B 100%. Thanks Donatella!

Verified review- good location, 15 minutes from the historic center - quiet and apparently very safe area - the possibility to park at a reasonable price in a location 2 minutes away - the cleanliness in the room was perfect - for those who like Italian breakfast, then it is very good breakfast
- not the most comfortable beds - the relative prohibition of access to the kitchen is annoying... - the system designed to have breakfast with the host who comes at the first hour to prepare it (and we thank her for that) and stays until the end, with the plates walking around the rooms to the terrace back and forth...with the cats walking around on the table...it is uncomfortable and the feeling is of lack of privacy PS (reply to the property post): - you are confusing us with others guests in your post and it is right to tell the truth... We put our bags in our car and left after breakfast at 9 o'clock in the morning from Lecce to Bari so we are not the people you mentioned. You didn't make any concessions to us during our stay and we complied with your rules because that's what we thought was right. But getting over your confusion - regarding the B&B system, leaving aside the fact that you should specify this mention in the description, we have stayed in B&B locations before and still we did not have the impression that we were being followed. Maybe you should take this into consideration for your future guests...the people are different...there are people who prefer privacy before breakfast... We don't regret choosing your place, the quality-price ratio is good, but we wouldn't do it again and it is our opinion. All the best to you!
Dear Mr. Dragos I think you have not fully understood what a B&B is! perhaps she should have booked a holiday home or a hotel and not a b&b! Even when he talks about privacy, he must understand that this is the case in B&Bs and in fact customers really appreciate that moment of sharing and socialising. I wanted to remind you, in case you forgot, that we kept your bags until 1pm and let you use our toilet on your return. PS Dear Mr. Dragos we answer because it seems right that people know the truth and not to make controversy. We are not making any mistakes or making the wrong person and we have never followed up with people. Surely we are not all the same and we also add fortunately, in fact all the other guests we have had up to now think in a completely opposite way to yours. Good luck for the future!
