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 reviewThe hosts are welcoming, more than friendly, helpful in the most positive way. The breakfasts are delicious and a work of "heart", the room is very comfortable. The stairs are not a problem for luggage because there is an ingenious luggage lift
The only suggestion is if a person has significant heart, lung or arthritic disease the stairs would be difficult.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, full of warmth and appreciation. Knowing that you can’t wait to come back is the best gift we could receive! ✨ We’re glad you enjoyed the hospitality, the breakfast lovingly prepared each morning, and the comfort of the room. Our little dumbwaiter is there to make luggage handling easier, adding a touch of cleverness. We truly appreciate your thoughtful comment about the stairs. Out of fairness, transparency, and care, we always clearly state — including in the “Important Info” section of our Booking.com profile — that the property is located on the second floor without an elevator, and we specify the exact number of steps. Our B&B is housed in an early 1900s attic, protected by the Fine Arts authority because, in the basement of the building’s entrance hall, there is still a refuge that sheltered the Jewish community during the war. For this reason, installing an elevator is not possible: a choice made to preserve memory, which we embrace with great respect. And it is precisely this uniqueness, along with the light and peace that fill this place above, that make it so special. After all… it is at heights that the beauty of things is found. 🌿 Warmest regards, Monica and Salvio HABITARE Experiences

Verified reviewThe hotel is very close on foot to the centro storico of Lecce and the room had cute little balcony to chill at in the evening and watch sunset. The room was nice, spacious and clean. Owners Salvio and Monica were very hospitable, Salvio recommended us a few good restaurants and also booked the table for us. On top of everything they prepare amazing breakfasts with local products that are typical for Puglia region. There is savory and sweet option, both amazing. I highly recommend this place for foodies!
Dear Guests, thank you so much for sharing your experience with such kind and heartfelt words. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and knowing that you appreciated every detail of your stay fills us with joy. Our location, just a short walk from the historic center of Lecce, is meant to offer exactly that: the convenience of exploring the city combined with the peace of a cozy retreat—just like the one you enjoyed, watching the sunset from your little balcony. We’re delighted that our breakfast left a lasting impression on you. We carefully select local products because we believe that taste is one of the most authentic ways to tell the story of our land. A special thank you for recognizing our hospitality: we love taking care of our guests as we would dear friends, offering genuine advice and small touches to make your stay even more memorable.

Dear Marji, What a pleasure it was to read your words! We’re truly happy that your experience with us was so positive and that you enjoyed the authentic local flavors we love to share with our guests. Preparing breakfast each morning with fresh, local ingredients is a small gesture of care—and knowing that it was appreciated warms our hearts. Thank you also for highlighting the cleanliness and attention to detail in the room. We take great pride in creating a welcoming space where every guest can feel at home. You rightly pointed out the lack of an elevator, and we’d like to explain why. Our property is located in a historic building protected by the Fine Arts Authority, as it houses in its basement an ancient shelter once used by the Jewish community during difficult times in history. Because of this cultural and historical significance, we were not permitted to install a traditional elevator. Instead, we’ve chosen to install a luggage lift, so we can still assist our guests and make arrivals and departures as smooth as possible. Thank you again for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back soon—with new flavors to taste and stories to discover.

Dear Bryan, What a joy it was to read your words! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with such warmth and generosity. Knowing that your stay was “fantastic” and flawless truly fills us with gratitude.

We’re especially happy you enjoyed the breakfast: for us, it’s a special moment, crafted to let you savor a little bit of Sorrento each morning, with simplicity and care.

Dear Edward, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We’re truly delighted that you enjoyed the care put into the room, the quality of the breakfast, and the convenient location just a short walk from the historic center. This is exactly the experience we hope to offer — one made of small details and genuine hospitality. As for the stairs, we completely understand they can be a bit of a challenge. That’s why we clearly mention their presence — including the exact number of steps (56) — in the “Important Information” section on Booking, so guests can make an informed choice in advance.

About 50 steps up to the accommodation from the street so be ready but a new “bag lift” means you don’t have to carry anything else. Includes shampoo/hairdryer/small fridge.

Dear friends, What a joy it was to read your review! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your experience with such generosity and detail—you truly moved us. To hear that you felt “like part of the family” is the most beautiful compliment we could receive.

Verified reviewVery hospitable & helpful hosts, unbelievably classy & nourishing breakfasts! Glad to have had a luggage lift! We took up Salvio's offer to experience how mozzarella & other fresh cheeses were made at a small artisan cheese maker, which was great. Monica kindly drove us to the train station at the end of our stay.
The two flights of stairs may be difficult for people with mobility problems but otherwise manageable. Sound insulation from the neighbouring room could be optimized. Because of the small size of the breakfast room, maybe breakfast times could be staggered even though it can be quite a social occasion! Even though there is public parking theoretically available, make sure you arrive before the evening if coming by car at the weekend.
Dear Guest, What a joy it was to read your words! It was truly a pleasure to welcome you into our home, and knowing that you appreciated our hospitality, the lovingly prepared breakfasts, and the experience at the dairy fills our hearts with gratitude. Sharing the authentic flavors of our land with you was a special moment for us as well! We’re glad the luggage lift was helpful and that you felt the genuine warmth of our hospitality. Escorting you to the train station was a small gesture made with great pleasure—we hope you took a bit of our affection with you, along with the memories of your stay. Thank you also for your kind and thoughtful feedback. Regarding the stairs, we would like to point out that, in the spirit of fairness and transparency, their presence is clearly described on all booking platforms, including our website. Given the nature of the building, the structure is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments, and we do our best to communicate this clearly so every guest can make an informed decision. As for the breakfast room, it is designed to comfortably accommodate our five guest rooms. That said, as you noted, if all guests come down at the same time, there may be a slight wait to be served—but it can also be a wonderful opportunity to socialize and exchange travel experiences with fellow guests, something many of our visitors find charming and enriching. Lastly, about parking: as clearly stated on our website and booking pages, the surrounding area offers public and free parking. This is not theoretical—it is an actual and tangible reality. However, since we are located in one of the most lively areas of Lecce’s historic center, especially popular for its nightlife, it can indeed be more difficult to find a spot after 8:00 PM, particularly on weekends. Thank you again, from the heart, for sharing your experience with such generous words. We truly hope to welcome you back soon to this land that, we hope, now feels a little bit like your own. Warmest regards, Salvio and Monica HABITARE Experiences

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful place to stay. I only wish we could have stayed longer, if only to eat breakfast there every day. The owners were so kind, caring, helpful, generous, personable. The property is only a few blocks away from the historic center of Lecce with so much to see, so many good places to eat, so much to just sit and watch. The room was clean, comfortable, and very uniquely decorated. It was fun to return to it each evening. We had a small balcony and enjoyed just stepping out to watch the neighborhood. And then there was breakfast - a choice between sweet and savory every morning, prepared individually and introduced by Salvio the host and chef. Each morning's breakfast was unique, authentic southern Italian fare, prepared with so much care and flare. And always more than either my husband or I could eat. There was never a need for lunch. I was initially hesitant about the stairs as there is no elevator but there was no problem. There is a small lift for luggage so no need to carry anything up or down.
There was nothing I didn't enjoy immensely about this property.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for these words that deeply moved us. Reading them felt like seeing perfectly reflected everything we strive to offer each day—not just a stay, but an authentic experience, one that leaves a lasting imprint on the soul. Knowing that you truly lived and understood the care we put into every detail—from the lovingly prepared breakfast to the atmosphere designed to make you feel at home—is the most precious gift we could receive. Like pearls, beautiful things are never easy to reach: they require time, attention, and a bit of courage to seek them out. But when they are found, they shine with a unique light—and that is exactly how we feel about your presence here with us: rare, precious, and radiant. Sharing with you the beauty of Lecce—its flavors, its quiet mornings, and the warm, slow rhythm of its streets—was a true privilege. We are grateful to have hosted you and we hope that one day you’ll return… even if just for one more breakfast together. With affection and gratitude, Monica e Salvio HABITARE Experiences

Dear Bernardina, Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. Knowing that you felt welcomed and cared for truly brings us joy — every detail, from the accommodation to the breakfast, is thoughtfully prepared to make our guests feel at home… or perhaps even a little better! We’re especially glad to hear that you had no difficulty reaching our property, despite its location on the second floor. It’s very important to us that every guest can enjoy their stay with comfort and ease. We would be delighted to welcome you again — perhaps for another breakfast full of flavors and aromas, to be savored slowly and in good company. Warm regards, Monica e Salvio HABITARE

Verified reviewSalvio and Monica have created a wonderfully comfortable and stylish place from which to explore Lecce. They were fantastically helpful in sharing their knowledge about Lecce and the surrounding area. The breakfast they served will live long in the memory. They also organised an olive oil tasting experience for us which was really interesting and which was accompanied by some wonderful food and wine.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind and heartfelt words. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and knowing we were able to offer you a special experience fills us with joy. We sincerely hope that through every detail — from the warm welcome to the memorable breakfast, and the olive oil tasting — we were able to share the essence of our project: HABITARE Experiences. An invitation to truly live and “inhabit” Lecce and Salento, not just visit them. We hope you carry with you a small treasure of genuine emotions, warm memories, and lasting sensations. The doors of HABITARE will always be open for you. See you again soon! Monica e Salvio HABITARE Experiences
