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 reviewLocation to beach was excellent and I liked the room decor and the host Nicola was wonderful. Absolute value for money. Not too far from the Airport or station. There was even a small kitchen very pretty. JUNE from Ireland

Verified reviewVery unhelpful staff. When realised unable to support travellers with bicycles I was not allowed and unable to cancel. Staff-member was increasingly rude and not very helpful.

Verified reviewI loved everything about this property. Air conditioning, comfortable bed, kitchen, big window with nice view. There is a bus stop very close by and with a short walk you can catch the train at the Bari Zona Industrial stop to Polignano a mare or into Bari central. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby and beautiful sandy beaches blocks away. It is outside Bari, but quiet and better beaches than closer in Bari. Staff was so nice and accommodating.
Neighbors can be heard when they are cooking if you are on your terrace, but not the fault of the facility.

Verified reviewThe room was very clean even in the smallest nooks and crannies. The owner greeted us with a bottle of wine left in the room, which he showed us when showing us around the room. The room had all the necessary amenities. It was equipped with coffee, tea and the kitchen contained appliances for leisurely meal preparation. We were provided with towels and toiletries. In addition, the owner provided us with beach towels. I highly recommend

Verified reviewRating in Booking does not reflect what this place offers! The owner is rude and has bad temper. He does not speak a word of english. I was about to cancel my booking if his wife didn't show a little bit of kindness and respect and I needed to sleep after 9 hours of plane, 6 hours of train, and one hour bus... The place is far away from Bari's Centro. The bus 53 is always late and takes 35-40mn to go the train station so almost 1hour to go and 1 h to come back. So if you don't have a car don't go there. But it is clean and the bed is comfortable eventhough they don't make the room at all.
They show up only to collect the taxes and ask you if Tutti Bene the last day while their room is in front of yours. The coffe machine is capricious, the stove takes 30mn to boil water and nobody to ask how it works. no Microwave... Booking must frame this kind of B&B where owners are interested of client's money only... we don't need to endure difficulties while we spend money and suppose to be on vacation!
Good morning Mr Yola I hope you are well.... We assume that she traveled without internet and therefore it was very difficult to contact her! The money you were asked for is the tourist tax which is not included in the booking I'm sorry that you didn't mention at all that we came to pick you up by car completely free of charge 😔 We are not a hotel so daily cleaning is not provided I was wrong not to report the turmoil I found when she left because the room was unrecognizable We are 4 kilometers from the center it doesn't take an hour to get there... I'm sorry about the tourist tax issue but it's not optional, it's the law here I wish you a good day

Verified reviewAppartement was spacious and clean , had everything I need coffee machine, the fridge. Also the owner took me from the airport and back. It’s really close to the beach and bus station (bus 53 goes to the city centre). For the bus you’ll need to buy a ticket in the tabac shop (you can’t pay in the bus). I really recommend sea food restaurant on Spirito de Patate has a nice terrace with sea view and it is 300m away from the facility .

Verified reviewIt's a lovely place with all facilities, beach near by and attentive hosts. Our little housekeeping issue with coffee machine was solved in minutes. WiFi quality was excellent. I definitely recommend this apartment and would stay there again.
Thank you so much for the immense correctness in everything ... goodbye
