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 reviewUpon arriving first look at the property was absolutely fabulous.. location was perfection as it was close to the main strip of shops, old city and train station. Also loved that we were able to check in early
With a big home like this there was no washing machines and we hand washed everything and used the heater rack (which burnt our clothes, as we didn’t know how to regulate) we also only had one body towel each for the entire length of the stay. Note, if someone is sleeping on the sofa bed.. they will not be sleeping as it is SO noisy.. there is a window that doesn’t close. Also be sure to bring your own toiletries.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the look of the apartment, its central location, and the possibility of an early check-in. We’re sorry for the inconvenience regarding the laundry. The apartment is not equipped with a washing machine, as clearly stated in the listing. However, there are self-service laundromats just a short walk away. As for drying clothes, the heating grill is not designed for that use, and the high temperature likely caused the damage to your garments. Regarding the window, it closes with a button – we’re sorry if this wasn’t clear, and we would have been happy to assist you had we known. Towels are provided based on the number of guests and length of stay, but we’re always available to bring more upon request. Thank you again for your helpful comments — they allow us to keep improving the guest experience. Best regards

Verified reviewThe location of the property was good walking distance to everything.
The room was a little dungeon with a tiny entrance in the middle of floors. I got enticed with beautiful pictures of the kitchen and dining area where I was planning on dining cooking, but unfortunately, what I got was dungeon with kettle. It was extremely loud I couldn't sleep listening to everything that was happening on the staircase, all drunken people walking up and down the stairs with bottles banging against each other in bags; taps of high heels at 1 am as if they where tap dancing next to my pillow. And all that at the same price point as the 1 bedroom apartment that surely has bedroom fare enough form entrance to allow some rest at night. No sleeping in space that has bin converted from some storage facility without working air-conditioning is not satisfactory. Is outrageous to advertise it alongside the other apartment. Most disgraceful attempt to enticed people to book spacious facilities and provided them with Hobbit burrow!
Dear guest, Thank you for your comment, although we are truly sorry to read such a harsh rating, which we believe does not accurately reflect the reality of the situation. Zema Home consists of two separate units, as clearly stated in the Booking.com listing: • a room with private bathroom on the first floor • and a ground-floor apartment with living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Unfortunately, at the time of booking, you did not notice that you had selected only the room, and not the entire apartment. When you contacted us, we advised you to reach out to Booking.com customer service for clarification. Booking, in fact, never contacted us regarding any issue with your stay, which confirms that the misunderstanding originated during the booking process. We’re sorry for your disappointment, but we kindly suggest paying closer attention to the property descriptions before making a reservation to avoid any confusion. We honestly don’t believe that a rating of 1 is justified, but we’re sure your review will help future guests read the listing details more carefully. Best regards

Verified reviewGood accomodation
The house alarm went off by itself at 2am for a full hour. I couldn't sleep for a long time, nor could the neighbors (several came out to check), it was extremely loud. I called the person in charge for an hour and they didn't answer. If you're looking to have a bad time or for the alarm to go off for no reason, this is the perfect place to stay
Thank you for sharing your experience at our accommodation, but you are probably wrong because we don't have an alarm system in our Guesthouse and if the alarm you heard came from a flat nearby what fault is it of ours? You wrote only very good accommodation and that's what I'm interested in but the rest is unfortunately not up to us and to put a negative vote for something not arising from our organisation is really unfair ktm. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, the shower was spacious.... That would have been fair to comment and judge. I am sorry.

Verified reviewBright, modern apartment in an excellent location. Super easy instructions for those who worry about self accommodation. Amenties are excellent that are provided. Perfect for families and couples.
Only slight issue being ground floor not for those who would want a balcony but there is an internal seating area built to feel like a balcony area. Can be quite noisy at times due to being a ground floor flat and proximity to road but generally quiet through the night.
Many thanks, we hope to see you again soon

Verified reviewWe only stayed one night, its a big simple apartment that is ideally situated close to the Main shopping streets and not far from the old town. its perfect for a short stay in the centre. The agent was very good and sent all information making it easy to get in and find and get the keys etc. parking is tricky to find , as Bari is a Big city. Kids were happy and slept well so thats good, quiet at night.
Many thanks we hope to see you again soon.

Verified reviewThe apartment is really nice:) The location is very good, close to the old town and the railway station, with a lot of shops and cafes:) It’s really well-furnished, the owner seems to be attentive to details:) Note, that because of the pizzeria, located right in front of the apartment, it may be quite noisy in the evening, as it opens at 19:30:) But that didn’t stop us from enjoying the atmosphere:) The host gave us the contact of Mr.Mario with a suggestion to arrange a transfer from the airport, we need to say a huge thank you for that:) Mr. Mario is amazing:) Very pleasant and positive person:) We really enjoyed his company:)
In case you want to cook something, you should note that the extractor doesn’t work, but it’s not a big deal though:) Also it’s better to write an instruction on how to close and open the window:)
Many thanks we hope to see you again soon.

Verified reviewExcellent location (close to Old Town, the walking streets and the central railway station, with supermarkets and restaurants nearby). Small kitchen with appliances (mini fridge, coffee machine and water boiler with some complimentary capsules and tea bags). Nice, sunny bathroom.
Weak wifi. Next door apartman was literally a door away, not soundproof, you could hear everything. Very uncomfortable chairs and small breakfast table. Found the bin unemptied and some used contact lenses on the nightstand and on top of the wardrobe.
Many thanks we hope to see you again soon. The wi.fi had a problem caused by the management company ... We apologize for what appened

The room was separated from another room with a door. The door was locked. However, it was very noisy. Whenever the others walk or speak in the other room, I was hearing everything. It was very disturbing.
Many thanks we hope to see you again soon.
