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.).

United StatesA little noisy at times from neighbors in the early morning. Hard to control outside noise.
Great location along one of the main streets in the town. Also, the property was only a short walk to the bus and train station. Suite was spacious and clean. Perfect place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The hosts were very genuine and wanted to ensure the stay was comfortable. When it was time to check out they arranged transportation to the airport which I greatly appreciated.

AustraliaNothing, everything was exceptional!
I loved my stay with Manon and Charlie. They were both so welcoming, and I loved how the guests all had breakfast together in the morning. As a solo traveler, it was great to meet other like-minded guests and say hi when I bumped into them around town. My room was amazing, truly better than I expected, from the amazing-smelling body wash to the furniture. Every detail was intentional. Thank you for coordinating my travel, too!

United StatesNot a thing!
Manon and Charlie were fantastic hosts! They provide a personal connection that made you feel so welcome and at home, a refreshing change on a vacation where social interaction with staff at hotels and restaurants is so transient. Interesting conversation with these sophisticated hosts at breakfast made for a memorable experience. The lovely breakfast was personally prepared and presented by the hosts. The newly renovated Palazzo and sunny room was huge and bright with three large windows, good A/C, modern bathroom, large shower, good lighting at nighttime and shutters that block the early morning sun to allow you to sleep in. Overall it was a wonderful experience that elevated our stay in Lecce to one of the highlights of our trip to Puglia.

AustraliaSome small improvements like conditioner and other toiletries (iron + ironing board) would be useful, otherwise there isn’t much that could be improved.
Breakfast spent with the hosts was an absolute highlight - I was glad they are a traditional “bnb”. The air conditioning was excellent. The rooftop is absolutely stunning and makes for a lovely evening or night watching the sunset and people below. The room itself was wonderfully appointed, and the bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomNothing. There are some interior steps but the rooms are easily accessible.
Palazzo Charlie was very easy to find, right in the heart of the old town with a good range of restaurants on its doorstep and the cathedral just a short walk away. Despite its central location, it was a quiet, oasis of calm from the moment you stepped through the doors into the cool foyer. Our suite was huge with a wonderful, stylish lounge - great for relaxing in after a day of sightseeing - a balcony, a small but very well-appointed bathroom and a comfortable bedroom. We also had access to a large rooftop terrace with seating and a communal kitchen/dining area. Sadly, we only ate breakfast there on one day because of an early start on our second but it was definitely the best of the holiday! A gastronomic delight with three courses that included scrambled egg, meat and local cheeses and jams, all delicious. Manon and her son were perfect hosts and helped with restaurant recommendations and an early morning cab booking. All in all, a great stay and not long enough!

Thoughtful style and design from the front entrance to every corner of the room. Elevator was available as well!
