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.).

The location is the perfect! It is located in the perfect place to explore Lecce’s old town. It is very nicely designed, everything is clean and the service impeccable. It’s the little things like the free refills to water in the mini fridge and the breakfast at the coffee shop in the house next door that make this hotel truly delightful. Great service, fantastic hotel room and perfect location. A great option for anyone that looking for an upscale city hotel.

United KingdomParking at the property was a challenge at first and also more expensive than we expect (10 Euro a day), it wasn’t a dealbreaker, but just would be nice if it was free. Even with the parking challenges, Emilio at the property helped reserve a space in the closest car park and provided instructions on how to get there. Only other negative was we did find hair in our towels and the ground floor room we had, did have a strange smell (we stayed in two different rooms at the property and upstairs was fine)
The aesthetic of the rooms, the location and the staff. The rooms felt very luxury and had been designed very well, it is in such a convenient location to all the main sites in Lecce and the staff were fantastic. Emilio was always on hand to help and really friendly.

ItalyAll good.
Our stay at Palazzo Paisiello was perfect – from beginning to end. Emilio proved to be extremely helpful even before our arrival, assisting us with finding parking (affiliated with the property) and providing us with all the necessary information. Both he and Mary were always kind and professional. The property is lucky to have them. The room is modern, clean, comfortable, tastefully furnished, and reflects the Lecce style. The property is located in the city center and offers an excellent breakfast in collaboration with the bar of the same name within the same courtyard. Highly recommended.

IsraelThere was nothing wrong in this hotel.
We liked everything. Emilio, the manager of the reception, was in touch with us by whatsapp a day before we came, welcoming us and guided us about the parking. It helped us a lot because the hotel is in ztl zone. We found it very thinkfull. When we arrived a nice young smily woman , Mary, welcome us explaining everything about the hotel with patiance. Than we meat Emilio who was very frindly and made our stay very pleasant. More than that, after we left Lecce in our way home , Emilio sent us a whatsapp to make sure that everything is okay with us.. Not obvious... The hotel is in an old building, but the inside is marvoulsly modern.. Just look at the picture! This is your bath! And everything is so beautifull... and it is close to the old city of Lecce within walking distance from all what there is to see in the old city. Breakfast was good, not the usual one. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you Emilio and Mary. Best wishes for good things Herzel and Carmie

AustraliaThe front desk was often not manned and only during limited hours. We were able to get in touch with management via whatsapp when we had issues with our room and they were able to move us to another room. When they were available the service was amazing and the staff, shout out to Emilio, went out of their way to help us out!
The property markets itself as a luxury property and it lived up to expectations! The design was beautiful, it was modern while keeping the historical architecture & very tasteful. Breakfast was great at the little cafe outside. They basically gave us anything we wanted from cooked options to pastries, coffees and juice. It was a great start to the day.

We would have been lost without all his recommendations for restaurants and bars and day trips. Looking forward to visiting again.
